This stage of life is hard—and no one prepares you for just how hard.

We’re hear to help.

You’re allowed to ask for help. You don’t have to have it all figured out.

Being a student today means managing academic pressure, life transitions, identity exploration, social challenges, and possibly living away from home for the first time. Add in anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or burnout, and it can feel like too much to handle.

At Black Onyx, we offer therapy that meets you where you are—with honesty, warmth, and support that actually helps.

Therapy for Students

Is This You?

You might benefit from therapy if you’re:

  • Feeling anxious, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by school or life

  • Struggling with perfectionism, procrastination, or burnout

  • Navigating identity, sexuality, or major life transitions

  • Managing ADHD, trauma, or chronic stress alongside coursework

  • Dealing with loneliness, isolation, or relationship stress

  • Carrying the pressure to succeed at all costs—and starting to crack under it

Whether you're in high school, college, grad school, or taking a nontraditional path, your mental health matters.

We help people like you!

When to Get Support

You don’t have to wait for a breakdown to reach out.
Therapy can support you when:

  • You’re not feeling like yourself

  • You’re constantly on edge, tired, or emotionally shut down

  • You want a space to talk through things without judgment

  • You’re ready to understand yourself more deeply—and find healthier ways to cope
