Support for College Students and Young Adults
Navigating college and early adulthood can feel overwhelming at times. Whether you’re managing academic pressure, figuring out your next steps, or trying to build a sense of independence, this stage of life often comes with both growth and uncertainty.
At Upshur Bren Psychology Group, we offer therapy in New York and coaching services nationwide to support college students and young adults as they develop confidence, build meaningful relationships, and learn how to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience.
College students and young adults come to us for support with:
Get started by scheduling a free consultation with our concierge care team. We’ll take the time to understand your situation and offer a personalized recommendation for the services that best fit your needs.
Life transitions, including adjusting to college, graduating, or entering the workforce
Difficulty managing time, responsibilities, or feeling overwhelmed by day to day expectations
Navigating relationships, including friendships, dating, and communication
Low mood, lack of motivation, or challenges with confidence and self-esteem
Anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed by academic, social, or life demands
Our work with college students and young adults focuses on helping you better understand yourself, your experiences, and the challenges you’re navigating during this stage of life. We create a space where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re going through, and begin to identify patterns that may be contributing to overwhelm, uncertainty, or feeling stuck.
In sessions, the focus is on building insight and developing practical tools to help you manage stress, improve relationships, and feel more confident in your decisions. Over time, this work supports greater independence, stronger coping skills, and a clearer sense of direction as you move forward.
How therapy and coaching works in practice
Getting started with therapy or coaching
The first step is to schedule a consultation with a member of our care coordination team. This initial 30-minute phone call is an opportunity for us to understand your concerns, your goals, and determine what kind of support would be most helpful.
We then match you with a highly trained clinician who is well suited to your needs, with careful attention to fit, knowing that a strong clinician-client relationship is one of the most important parts of meaningful progress.
In your sessions, you’ll work with your clinician to build insight and practical tools to better understand yourself and navigate challenges more effectively. The goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence to move forward with greater independence and less need for ongoing therapy or coaching.
And if new challenges arise over time, we’re always here to support you.
Common questions about therapy and coaching
Yes, we offer virtual therapy sessions for clients located in New York, as well as coaching services nationwide. This allows college students and young adults to access support whether they are at school, at home, or living in a different location. During your consultation, we’ll talk through your needs and help determine the best fit.
It’s completely normal to feel unsure about starting therapy. The consultation is a low-pressure way to learn more about the process, ask questions, and talk through what you’re experiencing. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
In some cases, parents may be involved in the initial consultation or in supporting the process, depending on the needs and preferences of the young adult. Our goal is to create a space that feels supportive, respectful, and appropriate for each individual, while also helping families stay aligned when it’s helpful.
