Mental Health Care for College Students

SUPPORT FOR ACADEMIC STRESS, ADHD, ANXIETY, TRAUMA, AND LIFE TRANSITIONS

College is a time of growth — but it’s also a time when mental health challenges often surface or intensify. Academic pressure, independence, identity development, trauma exposure, and disrupted routines can all take a toll.

At Ann Arbor Psych, we provide telehealth talk therapy and psychiatric care tailored specifically for college students and young adults — with an approach that is supportive, practical, and grounded in evidence-based care.

What can we do for you?

Our services may be a good fit if you are a college student experiencing:

  • Anxiety, panic, or constant overwhelm

  • Depression, burnout, or loss of motivation

  • ADHD-related struggles with focus, time management, or procrastination

  • Academic difficulties that don’t match your abilities

  • Trauma-related symptoms or unsafe experiences

  • Sleep disruption, emotional dysregulation, or brain fog

  • Pressure to “keep it together” while struggling internally

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek help. Many students come to us because things feel harder than they should — and they want support that actually helps.

College Students’ Focus Areas & Resources

  • Academic struggles are often treated as motivation problems — but in reality, they may reflect:

    • Undiagnosed ADHD

    • Anxiety or panic interfering with performance

    • Trauma responses affecting focus and memory

    • Depression-related cognitive slowing

    • Sleep deprivation or burnout

    We help students investigate academic difficulties without blame, and identify what support is actually needed.

  • Practical, non-shaming support for focus, procrastination, and overwhelm.

  • Guidance on navigating accommodations, counseling centers, and academic supports.

  • Understanding why avoidance isn’t laziness — and how to work with it.

  • Education, validation, and support following unsafe or non-consensual experiences.

  • Healthy ways to support focus, energy, and resilience — without burnout culture.
