What is the Student Support Package?
Dedicated, proactive, and comprehensive therapeutic support for students as they navigate their social and emotional journeys - utilizing a flexible approach that allows for an individualized process.
Why it is Needed?
Early adulthood is an exciting time of growth, inspiration, and identity development. However, at times, this stage can also feel quite confusing and overwhelming. All too often students suffer alone, in silence. Parents may be concerned, and need guidance regarding how to best respond. The Student Support Package is designed to help students thrive, realizing their personal potential, guiding them to live their best lives now and into the future.
You have worked hard to get where you are, and as you navigate this next chapter it is normal to feel overwhelmed. There are many competing responsibilities and pressures to balance. You are not alone. I am here to help guide you through your journey. We will design a personalized pathway, based on your needs and goals, to explore your experience and address the areas you would like to improve. This is an opportunity to be seen and heard, and not have to do it all alone.
When children leave home for college, it can be quite overwhelming. You want them to thrive, adjust well, and have positive growth experiences. When they struggle it can be hard to know how to respond, especially if you live far way. I am here to be a local support to your children, to help them navigate through their challenges. I offer parents peace of mind and comfort, knowing that someone nearby is dedicated to helping them become their best selves and guide them forward. Parents/Guardians are invited to participate in the initial consultation, and subsequent consultations are available during the semester (with consent and in consultation with the Student) .
This is your time to debrief about your experiences and strategize ways of moving forward. This is also your time to learn about yourself and design how you want to live your best future.
We will have dedicated meeting time(s) available - per your schedule. No need to wait months to be seen or worry about your therapist being too busy to fit you in.
Trust in confidentiality is a bedrock of good therapy, and I feel strongly about making sure you feel safe to talk freely, with trust that what you say in session is kept private. This is my commitment to you. The only exception to this are times when there is an immediate risk of harm to self or others.
You are actively encouraged to be in touch via text or call if feeling stuck, needing advice, or dealing with difficult situations that require immediate assistance. Updates about progress with goals and reflections about items discussed in therapy sessions are also encouraged :).
I am available to have consultation conversations with parents as needed. Of course, confidentiality in treatment is paramount, so the decision about these conversations and any information shared does remain at the discretion of the student. That being said, it is common for parents to be the ones who initially inquire about services, at which time I am glad to hear background information they want to share. Also, if a student is having struggles that involve concern about their well-being or safety I typically advocate (when appropriate) with the student to have parent involvement with the clinical process.
For parents that live afar, I aim to be an "eyes on the scene" presence supporting their student in navigating their experience. I am oriented to partnering with parents when it is appropriate and indicated, and when it aligns with the student's wishes.
