Student Mentorshipoffers a specific path of support by creating a safe and professional container for exploring adulthood while balancing the mental-emotional-and physical demands of college life. Students receive one-on-one professional mentoring with a depth psychologist. Sessions focus on developing skills for decision making, working with anxious feelings, navigating school and social pressures, and building a sense of personal agency through an autonomy-developing approach.

Cramming for exams, navigating new (and communal) living situations, testing independence, balancing belongingness and social pressures, developing effective study skills, taking ownership of schedules + sleep patterns + nutrition + exercise + health efforts, and exploring oneself beyond the container of childhood… all at the same time …all while the decision-making, self-regulating center of the brain is still forming.
Young adulthood is a significant (and exciting!) season. These formative years often provide the first taste of freedom and beautiful new blossoms of autonomy. Understandably, this season is also often accompanied by feelings of uncertainty, anxiousness… and plenty of (navigable) mistakes. There are an abundance of new experiences within reach, potentially life-altering decisions to make, and responsibilities to uncover. The balance between ongoing parental support and continued movement into adulthood is delicate. Moving out of the family home and into the oyster of independence has a way of sparking the need for expanded channels of trusted support and mentorship.
