Therapy for Students

Dear student, welcome to a prosperous 2025! As we embrace the opportunities and challenges this year brings, let’s take a moment to reflect on the state of our minds. You might be wondering if therapy is for you. The truth is, nearly everyone can benefit from it; depending on their experiences and upbringing. Therapy isn’t just for those dealing with severe mental health issues. It’s a powerful tool for anyone seeking emotional well-being and ‘soul health.’ Consider these:

• Do you overreact to minor issues?
• Are you constantly anxious or pressured to perform and be praised?
• Do you find yourself letting others walk all over you because you fear losing them?

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Our caregivers were the first role models we encountered, and our interactions with them shaped our minds. Yet, too many students carry unresolved pain and emotional baggage. Too often, students are told to ‘focus on good grades’ while they silently battle hurts, traumas, and distorted perspectives. However, hurting people hurt others, and broken individuals can not truly lift those around them. This is why it’s heartbreaking to see young people engage in misguided romantic relationships; projecting their inner pain onto their partners.
