who we serve
College Students
While few in the area hear much about a campus in the area (wink), the college students of our Bryan/College Station community are immensely important to us and hold a special place in our hearts. We know firsthand how exciting, inspiring, and sometimes overwhelming this season of life can be—juggling academics, friendships, jobs, responsibilities, and the ongoing process of figuring out who you are and where you’re going next.
Having all been in school in the past (and some of us still connected within the school community), our group has a unique appreciation for the challenges, pressures, and triumphs you face every day. Whether you need a formal assessment to gain deeper insight into your learning needs, or you’re simply seeking steady, reliable support through counseling, we offer a wide range of approaches, strategies, and expertise in the office to best meet your individual goals. We aim to provide a safe, encouraging, and welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate this important chapter of your journey with confidence.
For many students, the convergence of newfound independence and responsibility offers a unique estuary, with room for immense growth and development of identity. For some students who walk into our office, there is a desire to sort out a clarity of direction that feels particularly weighty during college. For others, the transition into college work exacerbates current stresses. With a variety in our team, our hope is to sort out with you what approach feels most beneficial to your process and help you to find success in this time of life.
Psychological Testing/Evaluation
Psychological assessments can be helpful when you need to get a better sense of what is impacting your learning and development. Additionally, our psychologists can help you with recommendations in what might be needed in the classroom, as well as your study habits to create a more successful learning environment for you.
