Therapists for college students near 53715

At New Growth, therapy is more than talk — it’s a return to your natural rhythm. Just as the seasons shift, roots reach deep, and branches stretch quietly towards the sun, we believe growth happens when you’re given the right conditions: safety, compassion, and space to breathe. We offer individual counseling grounded in clinical wisdom and a deep respect for the ways we grow when we listen inward. Rooted in authenticity and guided by curiosity, our work together invites you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a place to begin. Together, we’ll untangle what feels heavy, explore what’s been holding you back, and nurture what’s been waiting to emerge. Let’s find the path forward together — one that feels steady, grounded, and uniquely yours.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and burned out? Feel like you want to make changes but don't know where to start? Looking to connect and feel more embodied? Have more energy and feel better about yourself and your place in the world? I offer a safe space where we integrate mental health therapy with yoga therapy, mindfulness and movement. The Enneagram Personality Profile is another tool I use with clients which creates the foundation of understanding who you are, what motivates you and how you deal with stress.

Brene Brown says that shame can only exist in a vacuum – real healing comes from sharing, connecting, and being met with total acceptance towards whatever is causing you pain or holding you back. Whatever brings you to seek therapy, I’ll meet you there with warmth, compassion, laughter, and a promise to see the you who exists beyond the struggles and pain that have brought you to this point. My clients often come to work with me when they’re looking to learn how to navigate times of transition, find ways to cope, and bring joy and purpose back to their lives. My ultimate goal is to meet you right where you are and direct our therapeutic work towards exactly what your healing needs. You might see traces of Acceptance & Commitment therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care and good old empathy & connection within our sessions. Together, we’ll find a balance that lights you up – we’ll probably laugh, sometimes cry, maybe cuss a little bit (if that’s your thing) – but ultimately together, we’ll name what’s keeping you stuck, make meaning of the hard, and move forward towards the good. I specialize in supporting: • College students • People in their 20s, 30s, and 40s • Older adolescents • Times of transition & adjustment disorder • LGBT & Gender-affirming care • Anxiety and depression • Self-esteem • Pregnancy, Prenatal & Postnatal • Young parents

“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” -Mary Oliver I've been thinking about this every day since the first time I read it (or rather the first time it smacked me in the face, oh, so many years ago). It's some question, isn't it? Sometimes it inspires me. Sometimes it frightens me. Since it always challenges me, I've rooted my practice philosophy in it. It's kind of like the adult version of 'what do you want to be when you grow up'? How in the world do we answer that? If the question moves you like it does me then we're probably a good fit. Let's talk about the complexities of making life choices and finding fulfillment.

Sara Szymczak (SIM-check) is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of clinical experience. She is an active member in the Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society and alumna to Marquette University (BSN), Fairfield University (MSN) and Duke University (DNP). Much of her clinical experience comes from her time in the Army, from 2014-2020 where she treated complex PTSD and substance abuse. Sara is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Fran and Earl Ziegler College of Nursing at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences, where she created a 100% online psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, break through barriers, and tap into their inner strength. Every person is unique, and my goal is to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the specific needs and preferences of each client. Expressive art therapy provides an alternative form of communication, particularly beneficial when traditional verbal expression may feel limiting. Artistic expression allows for the articulation of emotions, experiences, and narratives that may be challenging to express through words alone. The focus is on the process of creation rather than the end result, allowing for a more profound and authentic exploration of emotions.

Choosing to begin therapy is a brave decision. My supportive and empathic nature will help you to navigate the struggles you are facing and develop solutions to everyday problems. As a therapist, I utilize a collaborative and flexible approach to ensure you are an active part of the process. I believe that humor and lightheartedness are vital in the therapy room. I incorporate mindfulness-based interventions, expressive art activities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques into my work. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. By utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches, I am able to meet the specific needs of each individual. When working with children and adolescents, I believe in the importance of incorporating the entire family into the therapeutic process. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College in New York, NY and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in school-based, mental health, and child welfare settings.

I work with adults who may be struggling with adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, and depression. My approach to therapy is being open, empowering and meeting you where you are. The environment that I create is one of trust and peace. I want you to be yourself. My job is to create a safe space for you to communicate openly and freely in a trusting, nonjudgmental environment. I believe that you are the expert on all things you. Collaboration is key in our work together so that you can develop goals that are attainable, reflect your needs and strengths and enhance your life in a positive way.

Hi, great to meet you! I tend to work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. You might be juggling school, relationships, family expectations, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you’re headed. Maybe you’ve been dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, or feeling like you’re “not enough,” even if things look fine on the outside. A lot of the students I work with are thoughtful, caring people who put pressure on themselves and don’t always give themselves the same understanding they give others. Some are going through big transitions, breakups, or identity questions. Others just feel off and aren’t sure why. If you’re looking for a space where you can be real, feel heard, and sort things out at your own pace, we’d likely be a good fit. Let's connect.
