Brain Fog, Burnout, & Big Feels? We Got You.
So, university/college was supposed to be this amazing, transformative experience—finding yourself, making lifelong friends, figuring out your passions. Except, somewhere between caffeine-fueled all-nighters, existential crises, social and societal pressures, and wondering if you actually like your major (spoiler: maybe not?), your brain decided to go into full-on mega-meltdown mode.
Maybe it's the stress. Maybe it's the never-ending pressure to crush it academically, socially, and mentally (ha). Maybe it's the general what-the-heck-am-I-doing-with-my-life spiral. Whatever it is, you’re tired. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Maybe even a little (okay, a lot) sad.
Look, we’re not here to give you a "just take a deep breath" pep talk. We get it. This kind of transition into adulthood is messy, and sometimes, your brain just needs a little tune-up. We've all been there as students, too, and we know how to help - this is where we come in (cue that relatable Billie Eilish tune, here).
Our team of expert therapists, social workers, and psychotherapists specialize in the chaos that is unique to your postsecondary life. We help you untangle the stress, sort through the emotional clutter, and build actual strategies that make a difference. Whether it’s managing exam anxiety, imposter syndrome, academic burnout, relationship struggles, or just figuring out how to human again, we’ve got your back.
No judgment. No BS.
Just real talk, real support,
& real strategies to get you feeling like *you* again.
So, what do you say? Let’s chat.
FAQs about The Postsecondary Student Specialty Clinic for Psychotherapy and Counselling in Kingston, ON
Which of your staff are postsecondary experts?
What should I expect in therapy geared toward my unique postsecondary life needs?
• You book a free consultation or a full-length first appointment with us by sending us a message or phoning our virtual admin staff. • Once you and your therapist decide to work together, you and your therapist will get really curious about all the things that are going on that are related to your specific problems. • You and your therapist will review your personal history and trauma history for meaningful links. • You and your therapist will work on building enough trust that you feel comfortable telling him or her all the things about your inner life that are relevant. • You will explore how your life experiences, thoughts, and situational specifics at postsecondary school seem to be combining to spark your challenges. • You will work on strategies to deflate the factors that make your emotions and behaviours hard to regulate well, without changing you into a flat, lifeless pancake. • You will start feeling better after a period of putting in the work (usually, this is in about 8 sessions), IF you're being honest and transparent with your therapist. If not, it'll take longer.
Is Psychotherapy right for me?
• Are you committed to making a change in your emotional life and your relationships? • Are you willing to invest in yourself financially and have the funds to give this a fair shake? • Will you give yourself the time you need to turn around a challenging problem? • Realistically, only you can decide if this is right for you. • If you're not sure about who you might like to see, that's ok! An option is to book a free 15-minute consultation to get a "feel" for the therapist of your choosing?
