College Mental Health

College mental health encompasses the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of individuals during their college years, an important period often marked by significant transitions and challenges.

Understanding College Mental Health

At BeWELL Psychotherapy and Wellness, we recognize the unique pressures college students face – from academic stresses to personal and social adjustments. Our integrative approach combines traditional psychotherapy with innovative wellness practices tailored to address the multi-dimensional aspects of mental health in college. BeWELL stands out by offering a supportive and adaptive space that acknowledges the individual experiences of each student, ensuring therapy is not just about coping but thriving during these formative years.

Symptoms of someone struggling with their mental health in college might include:

  • Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or emptiness
  • Overwhelming stress or worry, particularly about academic performance or social relationships
  • Changes in sleep or eating habits, such as insomnia or loss of appetite
  • Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, or making decisions
  • Withdrawal from friends, family, and social activities
  • Unexplained physical symptoms, like headaches or chronic fatigue
  • Declining academic performance
  • Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
  • Thoughts of death or suicide

The Impact on Daily Life

These symptoms can severely impact a student’s daily life, affecting academic performance, social relationships, and overall well-being. Difficulty concentrating and constant worry can lead to falling behind in coursework or an inability to engage in class. Social withdrawal can result in a sense of isolation, exacerbating feelings of sadness or anxiety and potentially leading to a cycle of declining mental health. Physical symptoms like insomnia or loss of appetite can affect energy levels and motivation, making it challenging to tackle both academic responsibilities and personal self-care.

Role of Therapy and Mind-Body Coaching in Managing Your Mental Health in College

Therapy can play a crucial role in managing mental health during college.The therapists at BeWell provide a safe and confidential space to explore challenges, understand underlying issues, and develop coping strategies for students and people dealing with the stress of college. Our therapists specialize in evidence based modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), ensuring personalized care tailored to individual students needs.

Mind-Body coaching at BeWell integrates mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, stress reduction, and can help students learn how to manage stress, build resilience, and cultivate a healthier work-life balance. Our wellness practitioners understand how necessary coping skills are for both academic and personal success, and can also offer support in navigating the complexities of identity, relationships, and future planning that often come to the forefront during these years.

Our goal is to empower students to not only navigate their college years with confidence but to lay the groundwork for continued mental and emotional well-being beyond graduation.
