College Counseling
Get StartedTherapy and Guidance for College Students/Graduates
College is an incredible time to be alive.
You are often in the peak of your physical health, you’re experiencing things you’ve never experienced before, and you are starting to end your “development” period and become an adult. The emotional growth and resilience developed during childhood, sometimes with support from child therapists on Long Island, can help you navigate this transition. But college is also not without its challenges:
- The academic demands can be greater than any you have experienced before.
- Transitioning to adulthood can be stressful and cause anxiety.
- Relationships and social expectations can feel overwhelming, new, and challenging.
Mistakes also seem to carry more weight at this age, and your mental health can go through a considerable number of changes.
College Counseling in Long Island – Garden City, and Rockville Centre
We have worked with students and graduates that come from all walks of life. We’ve seen college students struggle with depression and anxiety, either as their own standalone conditions or as a result of the changes they have to go through in their educational careers. Through our Long Island college therapy services, along with our college and graduate therapy services in the Greater Long Island area, you’ll be able to work through any of the issues that surround college and young adult life, including:
- Coping with school challenges
- Coping with social challenges
- Transitioning to adulthood
- Dealing with adult relationships
- Career preparation and career counseling
- Controlling anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues
- Substance abuse
Young adults go through a variety of life events, which is why young adult counseling in Long Island needs to be available to those that are going through this transition. We try to create a judgment free space that will make it easy for you or your young adult to open up about their life, share, and learn what it takes to become an emotionally healthy contributor to society.
College Therapy for Young Adults
Although college is meant to be a time of liberation and growth, there is no denying that college is an age with unprecedented challenges.
Unfortunately, it is also a time when some are hesitant to seek out help. For those in all areas in and around Long Island, including Garden City, Oceanside, Merrick, Great Neck, Rockville Centre, Levittown, Hewlett and more, contact our office today at (516) 732-0273. We are also able to offer our psychotherapy services anywhere in NY state with our remote therapy options, available via phone or video.
How We Work at Long Island Psychology
Some people arrive wanting relief from one specific problem. Others want to understand why a pattern keeps repeating, sometimes for years, and what it has been protecting them from. Most want both, so we tailor our treatment to each person’s unique needs.
We specialize in anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship and couples issues, among other therapy specialties. Our work is led by Dr. Marc J. Shulman, Psy.D., Founder and Director, with a team of licensed clinicians who draw on CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Dynamic Experiential Learning (DEL). We see patients from across Nassau County in Garden City and Rockville Centre, and by telehealth across New York State. When you are ready, reach out through our Contact Us page.
