Counseling and College Move-in: Keeping Your Mental Health in Check

The moment has finally arrived—parents all over the country are packing up cars and heading to college campuses, ready to drop their children off for the first time or welcome them back for another year. For the students, it’s a time of excitement, independence, and the start of a new adventure. But for parents, it’s often a mixture of pride, concern, and the inevitable feeling of emptiness as they prepare to return home to a quieter, emptier house. We are here to help navigate all these mixed emotions, by helping provide you with mental health support through our counseling services!

For students, this time is filled with the thrill of independence. They’re moving into dorms or apartments, making new friends, and embarking on a journey that will shape their futures. The freedom to make their own decisions, explore new interests, and navigate life on their own terms is exhilarating. It’s the beginning of a new chapter where they can discover who they are and what they want to become.

On the flip side, parents often find themselves grappling with a mix of emotions. The pride in seeing their child step into adulthood is undeniable, but so is the anxiety of not being needed. The house that was once full of noise, activity, and daily routines suddenly feels eerily quiet. The shift from being a daily caretaker to a supportive, yet distant, cheerleader can be jarring.

This phase is full of exciting new beginnings, but with new beginnings can come some fears. Students battle homesickness, a stressful academic load, and maintaining scholarships. Meanwhile, parents face mental struggles as well as they hug their child goodbye, worry about their child’s health and well being.
