Your College Student: Loneliness, Anxiety & Depression, Oh MY!
/As a parent, I know it is so difficult to watch our children suffer and feel powerless to fix it.
Suffering in college is inevitable, and it is a necessary ingredient of the alchemy that transforms adolescents into responsible adults. Negative emotions, drunkenness, being away from home for the first time, organizing a new schedule, intake of adequate nutrition, meeting a new friend group, figuring out sex and safety, getting oriented to a new city and constant stimulation from never being alone are just a few of the pressures on your child. They are going to handle things in a way that will cause you worry because you probably forgot that you were once an amateur too. What is a parent to do? Below, I've combined the best tried and true suggestions to help you and your child manage the growing pains of college life.

When grief persists for months or years without relief, it can alter every dimension of an individual's life, leaving them stuck in a cycle of emotional exhaustion and daily disruption. Whether caused by the loss of a loved one or life-altering non-death transitions like divorce or career shifts, long-term grief requires specialized psychological care. Through evidence-based approaches—such as Complicated Grief Therapy, somatic grounding, and the Dual-Process Model of Coping—professional counseling helps individuals process complex emotions, regulate their nervous systems, and integrate loss to safely rebuild resilience, purpose, and lasting hope.
