THERAPY FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON, MUSC & CITADEL STUDENTS
A 10-minute walk from the College of Charleston, on Church Street downtown.
College is supposed to be the best years, and for a lot of people it is also the first time anxiety, panic, loneliness or a breakup feels bigger than they can handle alone. You do not have to be in crisis to talk to someone. Most of the students we see are dealing with ordinary things that have gotten heavy. Call or text 843-823-6811, or request a free 15-minute consultation using the form at the bottom of this page.
What Students Come to Us For
Anxiety, panic attacks and constant overthinking. Stress about grades, majors and what comes after graduation. Homesickness and feeling like you have not found your people yet. Breakups, friendship fallouts and roommate conflict. Family stuff that followed you to school. Grief after losing someone. Figuring out who you are, including identity and sexuality (we are LGBTQ+ affirming). Things that happened before college that still show up now.
If what you are dealing with is not on this list, reach out anyway. The consultation call is for figuring out whether we are a fit.
How It Works
1. A free 15-minute call. You tell us a little about what is going on, we tell you how we would approach it, and you decide. No pressure.
2. Your first session. Fifty minutes, in our office at 171 Church Street or by video. We go at your pace.
3. Ongoing sessions. Most students come weekly or every other week. We will figure out together what makes sense for your schedule and budget.
Sessions are available in person and by telehealth anywhere in South Carolina, so you can keep going from your apartment, during exams, or from the beach house.
Things Students Ask Us
Is it confidential? Will my parents find out?
Yes, it is confidential. You are an adult, so what you share stays between you and your therapist. If a parent is helping pay, they still do not get details unless you sign a release.
What does it cost?
Wellness Blooms is a private-pay practice. We will go over fees on the consultation call and give you a superbill you can submit to insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
How is this different from the campus Counseling Center?
The Counseling Center is a great resource, and many students use both. The difference is usually availability, continuity with one therapist over a semester or longer, and specialized work like EMDR for trauma.
Can I keep seeing you over summer or after I graduate?
If you are physically in South Carolina, yes, in person or by video. Telehealth laws tie therapy to the state you are in, so if you go home to another state for the summer we will make a plan together before you leave.
Do I need a referral?
No. Just reach out.
