The college transition
Freshman year is often harder than anyone admits. Homesickness, roommates, a bigger academic jump than expected, social pressure and suddenly managing everything alone. Many students feel like everyone else is fine. They aren't.
What young adults bring to counseling
- Anxiety and depression that started or worsened in college
- Feeling lost about a major, career or calling
- Relationships, breakups and boundaries
- Life after sport for college athletes
- Faith questions in a new season
- Young professionals new to Nashville and starting over
Same counselor through the transition
Virtual counseling lets students keep working with the counselor they already trust as they move from high school to college, instead of starting over with someone new. Joe works with students at Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb, MTSU, Trevecca, the University of Tennessee and beyond.
Purpose, not just symptom relief
Joe spent a decade teaching college psychology and 15 years in youth ministry. He helps young adults move from surviving to building: clarifying values, setting direction and finding meaning in the work in front of them.
Frequently asked questions
My student goes to school out of state. Can they still work with Joe?
Talk with Joe on your free consultation call about your student's school and schedule, and he'll walk you through how continuing counseling works.
Will parents be told what my adult child shares?
Clients 18 and older control their own information. With the student's written permission, Joe can include parents in updates.
Can young professionals work with Joe too?
Yes. Joe works with young adults through their mid-20s, including those starting careers in Nashville.
