Therapy for College Students in Huntersville, NC
Online Therapy in NC
Supporting young women navigating anxiety, body image struggles, and food guilt, so they can find balance and feel more like themselves again.
You’re pulling another all-nighter after a full day of classes. You’re trying to get everything done before bed because tomorrow is just as busy.
You want to get some rest, but the fear of falling behind on your assignments takes over. You think, “if I take a break, I’ll never catch up.”
You love to hang out with friends, but underneath all the laughter, you're distracted, feeling self-conscious and worrying about how you look.
The pressure to be perfect feels like it never ends.
Whenever pictures are posted on social media, you zoom in on every perceived flaw and nitpick what you see.
You try to eat “healthy” at the dining hall by getting a salad but by the end of the day, you’re starving.
You end up ordering pizza because it’s the easiest, but honestly cheapest, option. Afterwards, the guilt and fear about the dreaded “freshman 15” kicks in.
No matter how much you achieve, it feels like it’s never enough.
You feel like you can’t rest because you’re constantly trying to keep up with studying and getting assignments done. On top of that, you think about food and your body all the time.
Do you…
Feel like anything less than an A means you failed
Struggle to take breaks out of fear of falling behind
Hold yourself to an impossibly high standard, both in school and in your appearance
Compare your body to your friends, or even what you looked like in high school
You want to feel confident in yourself and your abilities...
…but it feels like you’re always playing catch up, and it’s exhausting.
It’s hard to say no to anything because you don’t want to let anyone down. Between classes, work, and trying to have a social life, it’s no wonder your anxiety is through the roof.
Before bed, you doom-scroll through social media and it feels like everyone else is thriving. It’s so hard not to compare yourself to others and your self-esteem is at an all-time low.
Whenever you try to take a break, the guilt sets in and all you can think is “I should be doing more.”
You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s okay to ask for help.
You’ve spent years believing that your self-worth is related to your grades, appearance, and your ability to always keep it together.
That doesn’t need to be your story anymore.
You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy.
Imagine closing your laptop at the end of the day and feeling proud of the work you did. Not because it was perfect, but because you showed up and did your best.
Picture yourself walking into the dining hall with friends and not feeling self-conscious or focused on what's on your plate.
As you build a more supportive relationship with yourself and your body, you can start to let go of unrealistic standards and believe that you are enough, just as you are.
