Online Therapy For College Students In California
Mental Health Services To Help Students Navigate Life During College
Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not the only one!
College can be fun, exciting, and deeply challenging at the same time. You’re balancing classes, new friendships, dating, work, and figuring out who you want to be... It’s a lot, and many students feel anxious, stuck, and completely overwhelmed.
If that sounds like you, if you’re burnt out, lost, and just need somewhere to let it all out, therapy can really help.
I specialize in online therapy for college students in California – a space where you can show up exactly as you are – no pressure.

College is hard. I want to be here to help you move through the struggles and create a college life that’s everything you want it to be.

Trust your decision making

Authentic & Effective Evidence-Based Therapy For College Students
HOW I WORK
My therapy style is warm, collaborative and down-to-earth. I’m not here to lecture or fix you. I’m here to listen, support and help you make sense of what’s going on in your life. Together, we’ll explore your story, identify unhelpful patterns, and use strategies that actually help you to feel better.
I draw from a variety of different therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). That being said, each person is unique and we will tailor therapy to fit your needs.
This is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to show up- we’ll take it from there.
“Meg is a very supportive therapist. She has a knack for seeing her clients through complex situations with empathy and attuned guidance. While working beside her as a colleague, I noticed how her experience treating eating disorders and body image challenges translated to creative, strength-based interventions that helped clients see themselves and their struggles with greater compassion.”
– Leandra Lehmann, LMFT and Art Therapist
A NOTE FOR PARENTS
What You Can Expect From Therapy
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re already juggling a million things. Here’s what the process looks like so you know exactly what to expect:
1. Start with a free intro call
We will start with a short consultation to talk about what’s going on and assess therapist-client fit. No pressure or commitment, just a chance to connect, ask questions and get a feel for things.
2. Let’s meet you where you are at
In our first sessions, we’ll get to know each other and identify therapy goals. All sessions are held online and can be joined from anywhere with privacy & a stable internet connection.
3. Grow at your own pace
From there, we’ll work on building helpful tools, insight, and self-trust. No matter what the presenting problem, therapy is here to support you, now and in the long run.
