Therapy that meets you where you are
Talk therapy for college students, with providers who understand campus life — academics, relationships, identity, and the pressure of figuring it all out. In-person in Austin & Houston, or online anywhere in Texas.
Most students with insurance pay a $20 average copay. No insurance? Sessions start at $80.
What is therapy for college students?
Therapy for college students is mental health support built around what this specific stage of life actually looks like: leaving home for the first time, academic pressure, new relationships, and figuring out who you are outside of your family or hometown. It's not generic adult therapy — it's care that already understands the context.
At Semester Health, our therapists are experienced with the real pressures of student life: coursework and deadlines, roommate and friend-group dynamics, family expectations, identity, and the adjustment of independence. You won't have to explain the basics of what college is like before getting to the actual work.
