Therapists for college students near 77005

I have a passion for working with clients who have experienced or continue to struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, substance use, and grief. The majority of my clinical experience has been working with clients in their mid-to-late teens through early adulthood, however I look forward to working with clients of any age, population, and background. I have experience working with clients from a wide array of backgrounds. I have had the opportunity to work in the outpatient treatment setting, as well as in community health, private practice, and in public school settings. I work primarily from person centered and solution focused therapy approaches. My greatest strength as a counselor is being able to sit with my client when difficult situations or emotions arise and provide a safe, non-judgmental, welcoming environment. It is important to me to honor my relationship with my clients and meet them where they are currently in their life's journey. l look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you!

I am Alex, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who earned my Master’s degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent ten years as a Trauma and Burn Nurse, an experience that shaped my compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. I believe respect, empathy, and understanding are essential to the diagnostic and treatment process. My goal is to provide thoughtful, high-quality mental health care that helps individuals feel supported and empowered. I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach when working with individuals facing mental health challenges. I focus on listening carefully, conducting thorough assessments, and developing personalized treatment plans that address each person’s unique needs and goals. Seeking help takes courage, and you deserve care that truly listens and understands. I am committed to helping you navigate challenges, strengthen your mental well-being, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life with confidence and support.

Yes, I'm just as funny as Melissa McCarthy! Going through a big change or feeling unsure about what’s next? I support young adults and people in transition—whether you’re starting something new, ending something old, or feeling stuck in between. I also work with clients of all ages and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach grounded in practical tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy. I’ve lived a lot of life—raised a family, worked in real estate and corporate settings—and I bring that perspective into the work we do together.

College-age young adults experience their own unique challenges. In a time of new independence and exploration, there can be a lot of pressure and expectations on young adults to have their lives “figured out”. You may experience difficulties adjusting to a new environment and the challenges that come with that, such as moving away from home, managing your college course load, making friends, etc. Young adulthood also brings about new responsibilities related to school, work/career, and finances, like maintaining your own schedule and paying bills. Many of the college students I work with are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, relationship issues, stress management, among other challenges. I provide young adult clients with the space to process and unpack their challenges, establish a trustworthy therapeutic relationship, and support them in building up their ability to cope with stress, understand their emotions, and meet their needs.

Welcome to my practice! As a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 9 years of experience in mental health, I am dedicated to supporting the emotional and psychological well-being of individuals across all age groups. I especially enjoy working with college-age adults, helping them navigate the unique challenges of young adulthood, from managing stress and anxiety to fostering resilience and personal growth. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management, both in-person and virtually, with a focus on empowering my patients to thrive in all areas of life.

Many of the college students I work with are balancing classes, jobs, relationships, and questions about who they are—and that can feel overwhelming. I often help students who are navigating academic stress, identity changes, and family expectations, while also working to feel more confident and handle life’s challenges without burning out. As a Latino and LGBTQ+ therapist, I understand how culture, family, and identity can shape your college experience and sometimes add extra pressure. In our work together, I use proven counseling methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to give you practical tools for managing emotions and relationships. I create a safe, welcoming space where your whole self is valued, and where you can explore who you are, challenge old beliefs, and build skills to thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Hi, Are you the ‘good’ daughter/son, the ‘good’ wife/husband, or the ‘good’ mother/father? Does your life look amazing from the outside but feels less than okay on the inside? It’s important that you have the support of someone who sees and understands you and who can respond to what you are going through. I want to help you discover why you are feeling the way you are, and more importantly, teach you the tools to help move you away from suffering, and towards inner peace. As your therapist I will be beside you every step of the way. Together we will navigate towards the joy, happiness, and self-acceptance you deserve. I specialize in brain-based therapies, such as Brainspotting; these specific modalities of treatment focus on the neurobiological variables (neuro networks) of each person to create change, specifically - neuro experiential change. Because understanding the why of behavior is not enough, for new behavior to be created new neural pathways need to be formed. I'm a bilingual in Spanish clinician with 20+ years of experience working in mental health with extensive training and credentials. However, I believe that you are the expert in your own inner world, and I am here to be a safe, grounding, and validating companion. “Nothing could ever be broken that we can't fix together" - Mirabel from Encanto

Are you struggling with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addiction, or difficulty in relationships, etc.? Have you tried therapy, but not gotten the results you desire? The cause could be past unresolved trauma that is blocking your ability to move forward. Trauma changes the nervous system and brain; therefore, treatment needs to be able to address the body and mind. My holistic approach through EMDR, IFS and other methods will help you get to the root causes and alleviate the disturbing symptoms you are experiencing. I am certified in EMDR treatment and provide a safe space for processing traumatic memories or disturbing life events. I have worked with hundreds of clients and have seen great improvement in a brief time. My clients have said they are amazed at the results and never thought they could feel positive andemor neutral about their past disturbances. I have been described as a trustworthy, compassionate and a calming therapist. I approach each client with respect and kindness. My desire is to help clients open the door for healing in a profound, caring and authentic way. My office is a safe, calm space for you to feel emotionally connected and deeply understood. “Ellen is amazing to work with. She is truly caring and supportive. She helped me so much with what I am going through." “I appreciated the safe space and your calm and non-judgemental approach during our sessions." "I hope you will know what a blessing you've been to me and to our family. I'm so grateful."

Do you struggle with depressive moods or negative thoughts you wish you could just change or simply make go away? Wanting those dark thoughts to change, or hoping to run away from them, is completely normal.

I promote compassion, honesty, and empowerment while working with clients who struggle with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about helping students, young adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals struggling with mood, personality, and eating disorders. Above all else, I’m focused on building a strong relationship with my clients, and I feel deeply privileged to be allowed into their lives. I make therapy a judgment-free zone where humor and warmth are a regular part of the process. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and allows each individual to guide their own recovery process.
