Therapists for college students near 53715
Hey, I’m Lexi! I’m a therapist who helps college students heal their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. If you're exhausted by the pressure to have it all together—or to shrink yourself (your body, your voice, your needs)—you’re not alone. You deserve support that actually gets it. At Innerbloom Counseling, I help you untangle the messy stuff like disordered eating, comparison spirals, or feeling totally disconnected from yourself, and work toward a life where you feel more grounded, more whole, and more you. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone where you get to be real, go deep, and reconnect with the parts of you that might’ve been pushed aside. If you’re ready to feel more at home in your body and your life, I’d love to support you.
College can be an exciting and transformative time, but it can also be overwhelming. Many students navigate academic pressure, shifting relationships, financial stress, identity exploration, and expectations that can feel impossible to meet. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, burnout, or simply feeling lost or disconnected, you deserve support that meets you where you are. My practice offers a grounded, nonjudgmental space for college students to slow down, reflect, and understand what they’re experiencing. I work collaboratively with students to navigate both personal and systemic challenges common in higher education—especially for those who feel marginalized, misunderstood, or stretched thin. Together, we focus on strengthening coping strategies, regulating stress, building self-trust, and reconnecting to your goals and values. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in both clinical expertise and real-world experience supporting young adults. Therapy is not about “fixing” you; it’s about helping you feel more stable, empowered, and connected as you move through school and life. I welcome undergraduate, graduate, and returning students from all backgrounds, including those balancing school with work, caregiving, or recovery. You don’t have to navigate this chapter alone—support is here when you’re ready.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, providing support and guidance to LGBTQ+ folks who often don’t see themselves represented in the world around them or reflected in their search for the right-fit therapist. While I regularly help folks work through depression, anxiety, and trauma, we also freely discuss other topics that might not otherwise feel comfortable, including sex, faith, and the impact of diet culture. Nothing is off limits. I also regularly work with neurodivergent folks, especially around the emotional impact of ADHD, and exploring autistic identity. I am licensed in both New York and Wisconsin, and see clients throughout both states through video sessions.
Feel like you know all the coping skills, made all the connections from past events to current behaviors, but find yourself still struggling to get out of that negative mindset? Ethereal Embrace Counseling came from my own journey in struggling to find a counselor that I not only connected with, but also approached therapy differently. I love to work with individuals who are also looking for something different in their treatment. A focus not only on the past and ways to "fix" you, but a focus on embracing you and your truest self!
I help college students and young adults who struggle with anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues. Reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation! My clients struggle like you do. Adjusting to college life is hard, making new friends, new relationships, new freedoms away from family, or finally discovering who you truly are doesn't come without growing pains. Often, I hear that my clients initially didn't think they needed therapy because they're getting through life just fine. On the outside your friends, family, or professors say you look fine, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and burned out. You don't have to feel this way. You deserve to feel happy, self assured, confident, and proud of the path you're on. I'd love to help you on your journey to being your most confident self! Your problems aren't too big or small for therapy. I can help! Reach out today, and let's get started.

You might be able to describe your problems as… → BURNT OUT from living life on survival mode. → IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy the present because of the the guilt of the past, and worry of the future. → DISCONNECTED from yourself, as if you are a passive bystander watching the problems in your life create chaos and havoc. → WITNESSING yourself saying and doing things that are hurting the people you care about. → RESIGNED to where the problems will take your life You might be feeling hopeless and resigned with the problems in your life, and yet YOU are HERE.

Hi! My main goal is always to help my clients to help themselves, so you feel empowered to embrace stress and change as it comes. With experience working in an eating disorder hospital and 7 years working as a therapist in the Athletic Depts at UT Austin and CU Boulder, I've been involved with supporting my clients through the life challenges that high schoolers, young adults, and adults face for my entire professional career. I am EMDR certified and use this to treat trauma, eating disorders, chronic pain, urges in addiction/EDs, and sport performance (both positive reinforcement as well as treating mental blocks). I particularly enjoy teaching tools for navigating anxiety and depressive symptoms, helping to make peace with body image, and supporting mental performance for sport. I also have a passion for supporting perfectionists to expand their view of themselves and learn to release a little of the control that is actually controlling them!
Hi my name is Karolyn! It is hard being a teen and young adult. I believe that working collaboratively with young people and their families is rewarding and necessary for positive lasting change.

Hello! My name is Christy Vachavake and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker here in Wisconsin. I work with adults in individual psychotherapy, and offer a warm, supportive space where you can speak openly and feel heard. I take a whole-person approach, considering how biological, psychological, and social factors all influence who we are and how we cope with life’s challenges. I bring a broad range of professional and life experience into my work, which allows me to approach therapy with steadiness and perspective. Before and throughout my work in mental health, I’ve supported people through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. That background has shaped a calm, steady approach to therapy and allows me to sit comfortably with difficult emotions, complex situations, and topics that can feel hard to name. In our work together, we focus primarily on the present — how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are showing up in your day-to-day life right now. While past experiences are important and may be explored, we focus on them mainly when they help us better understand what you’re dealing with today. My goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself so you can move through life with more confidence and balance. Our first session is primarily a space for us to get to know one another. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and what you want from the therapeutic process. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences and expectations, and you’ll have the opportunity to get a sense of my style and how I approach therapy. This initial session is not a full picture of what ongoing therapy feels like, but rather a foundation — my goal is for you to leave with a clearer sense of direction and whether working together feels like a good fit moving forward.

I am passionate about empowering others as they embrace their authentic selves while navigating life’s complexities. I strive to create a safe space to explore your emotions, feel aligned with the world around you, and develop the tools you need to thrive in all aspects of life. I have 20 years' experience in online therapy, college settings, and emergency services. My theoretical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Solution-Focused, and Expressive modalities. Do you enjoy creative expression? My practice is rooted in embracing your unique experiences, collaboration, and creativity in our work together. Whether you are experiencing difficulties in relationships, career conflicts, or managing life transitions, I am here to support you with empathy and professionalism. Together, we will work towards creating meaningful, lasting changes that reflect your values and goals. I look forward to meeting and working with you as we begin this journey!
