Therapy for Young Adults and College Students in Tampa & St. Pete
Our psychologists and therapists primarily use a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach. CBT is a research-supported gold standard intervention for anxiety and depression as well as anger management and emotion regulation. CBT can help you increase your awareness of your own emotions, teach you to think about what thoughts are tied to your emotions (and to check whether those thoughts are accurate or helpful), and builds your ability to use mindfulness strategies and cool-down tools to help yourself stay grounded in difficult moments instead of getting swept away by worry or big emotions.
Individual Therapy
We offer individual therapy for young adults and college students who are experiencing challenges with anxiety, negative mood, self-esteem, and emotion regulation. Our experienced therapists use short-term, evidence-based treatment approaches that focus on teaching skills that you can continue to use and practice after therapy is complete.
Group Therapy
We offer small groups for college students designed to teach evidence-based skills around emotional awareness, self-regulation, perfectionism and ADHD. As with our individual therapy, our therapy groups for gen z and college students are grounded in scientific research and skills-focused, and offer young adults the chance to connect with others and realize that they are not alone.
Online Therapy
We offer online therapy for gen z and college students. We are licensed by PSYPACT to work with young adults and college students in most states, allowing accessibility and convenience for our clients who travel in and out of state for college. We use a secure HIPAA platform to conduct these video sessions which you can access on your computer, tablet, or phone.
ADHD Therapy
We specialize in treatment of brain-based problems like ADHD and executive function disorder and have successfully worked with college students to help them learn organization and behavior change skills, and ultimately how to stay on track. Our sessions also address common co-morbid disorders such as anxiety and depression given that many students with ADHD lack confidence about their school performance or feel negatively about their inability to live up to their true potential.
What to Expect
We typically start with an intake consultation to hear more about your concerns and goals for working together. We then work with young adults and college students on a weekly or as needed basis. For most students, weekly individual treatment lasts four to six months. We discontinue treatment when you feel you have met your goals for treatment and are ready to fly independently. We’re always here if you run into new challenges or hurdles down the road.
Cost Per Session
Cost per session varies depending on the experience level of the clinician on our team with whom you are working with. The cost for all one-time initial intake sessions is $250. This session is 45-60 minutes in length and also requires your provider to spend time outside of session reviewing records and background information, and developing a treatment plan. Cost of recurring sessions following this initial intake appointment ranges from $185 to $250 per 45-minute session. Our Care Coordinator will provide you with more information regarding provider availability and fees during an initial consultation.
Details About Insurance
We are a private pay practice and do not directly bill insurance for treatment. Some benefits of paying privately include more privacy and more control in our work together. However, we’ve found that many insurance companies will cover our services as out-of-network providers. If you have a PPO, we can provide a “super bill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. A super bill is a detailed record of payment with special codes for what kind of service was provided along with our license number. Our Care Coordinator can call your insurance to find out what reimbursement will look like for you, if desired. If you’re hoping to find an in-network provider, Good Therapy or Psychology Today are helpful directories.
