High-Achieving Teens & Anxious College Students in Missouri and Illinois

A person overwhelmed by stress is reaching for support.

Therapy for Teens & College Students Trying to Keep It All Together.

You’re not lazy—you’re burnt out.

Between academic pressure, identity questions, and social stress, it’s a lot. Whether you’re in high school or college, therapy offers tools to manage anxiety, focus better, and feel more like yourself.

What We Help With:

  • Academic stress and performance anxiety

  • Social anxiety and friendship dynamics

  • Perfectionism and burnout

  • Identity exploration

  • College transitions and post-grad stress

  • Overthinking and executive functioning struggles

A supportive group of teens embracing each other after a therapy session.

Whether you're managing classes, applications, friendships, or just trying to stay afloat, the pressure to do everything "right" can become overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

How It Works

You’ll meet virtually with a therapist who understands what it’s like to be a high achiever trying to hold it together. Sessions may include talk therapy, mindfulness tools, identity exploration, and practical strategies for managing stress and improving overall well-being.

Just because you’ve dealt with the stressor, that doesn't mean you’ve dealt with the stress itself; you have to deal with the stress, or it will slowly kill you.
