Post-Secondary/Youth

Completing studies in college and university can be an overwhelming experience for some. It can be seen as a major transition where one would have to navigate what could be complex systems affecting both educational and personal outcomes. Many post-secondary students reach out for support with managing the transition and stress of independent living, isolation and loneliness, balancing well-being and academic concerns, time management and relationships. 

Additionally, post-secondary students may experience concerns related to test anxiety and academic performance, career/vocational exploration and planning, and addressing accommodation support for disability-related needs including ADHD, learning disabilities and mental health.

What Counselling Can Help with:

- Dealing with life changes and transitions

- Managing academic stress

- Depression and anxiety

- Difficulties in relationships

- Feelings of loneliness and isolation

- Substance use concerns

- Navigating school with a disability (ex. ADHD, learning disabilities, physical health disability, mental illness)

Students registered at a post-secondary institution may have access to an extended health plan that can cover the cost of seeing a mental health professional. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns about navigating this and understanding your coverage.
