Therapy for Graduate Counseling Students

Learning how to become a therapist can bring a unique set of challenges.

Graduate counseling students are often asked to examine their own experiences, biases, relationships, emotional responses, and personal histories while simultaneously learning how to support other people.

That process can be rewarding, but it can also be emotionally demanding.

Reclamation & Recovery Counseling offers therapy specifically for graduate students in counseling and related mental health programs who want a confidential space to focus on their own mental health and personal development.

Common things that our counselors work with in Individual Therapy can include the following: Trauma, Dissociation, Mood Issues, and Anxiety and Stress. Check out our Blogs Page for more in-depth explanations.

If you are seeking specialized trauma treatment utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, check out our EMDR Therapy Page for more information.

Therapy services for graduate students are separate from clinical supervision services. Participating in therapy through our practice does not establish a supervisory relationship and does not count toward clinical supervision requirements for registered interns.


What can I expect to happen in an individual session?

All activities, exercises, and modalities of treatment will solely have you in mind. Depending on the concerns that are bringing you into counseling, typical items that are covered in individual sessions include: acquiring coping skills, providing education about diagnosis and concerns, processing past events, and activity planning for support.


I’m in school though, I can’t possibly afford therapy at this time.

Our counselors take into consideration that most students do not have a disposable income while in graduate school. We are pleased to announce that we are offering discounted costs for sessions, with a base cost of $75 per session for individual therapy, with sliding scale available. Additionally, if payment plans need to be arranged, that can be discussed with your counselor as well.

To take advantage of this offer, proof of enrollment in a current graduate program for Mental Health Counseling, Social Work, or Marriage and Family Therapy will be required at the time of beginning services.
