THERAPY FOR BOARDING SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CONNECTICUT, NEW YORK

Therapy for College-Preparatory Boarding School Students Struggling with Pressure, Anxiety, and Perfectionism in Connecticut, New York, and PsyPact States

Anxious and exhausted from the constant pressure to perform?

Your days are packed, and you feel the pressure to perform in everything you do. You want to be at the top of your class and making anything less than an A leads to feelings of failure and an anxious spiral. The stakes are high, and it feels like everything needs to appear perfect if you want to make it into a top college. It's not just academics either. You also want to be the best on your sports teams or land the lead roles in plays and musicals.

Then, there's the social pressure. The self-conscious feelings of being a teenager are amplified at boarding school. You're living with your classmates, friends, and faculty and the feelings of being compared are real. You're all competing for the top spots. It's hard to feel like you can ever turn off or truly be yourself.

Succeed without losing yourself

You don't have to do this alone.

You get to be yourself with me. There's no pressure to achieve or appear perfect when we meet. I'm not grading or evaluating you. We'll help you succeed without feeling like your entire self-worth depends on your performance.

Safe Space

You don't have to worry about interruptions in support when you transition between school and home. I'm licensed in Connecticut and New York and authorized through PsyPact to see students in 40+ states.

Flexible Support

For Parents

For Parents: I provide the clinical expertise and consistency your child needs to thrive in a high-pressure environment. I worked in the counseling department at Choate Rosemary Hall previously.

What We'll Work On

Here's what we'll do together

  • Build a sense of identity and self-worth that isn't tied exclusively to your transcript.

  • Manage high-performance anxiety and perfectionism so that it doesn't spiral into burnout or shutdown.

  • Create a space for you to be yourself and feel supported by an adult who isn't evaluating you.

  • Learn how to connect with friends while being in a hyper-competitive environment.
