Summer Counseling for College Students in Vernon Hills

Schedule Now

Summer can be a time of rest and renewal, but for many college students, it can also bring unexpected challenges. Whether you’re returning home from a demanding semester, facing uncertainty about the future, or dealing with personal or academic stress, it’s common to feel overwhelmed. At Cherry Hill Counseling in Vernon Hills, we offer supportive summer counseling for college students who want to process, heal, and prepare for what’s ahead.

Our experienced team understands the unique pressures young adults face, and we’re here to help you navigate the summer months with clarity and support, so you don’t have to do it alone.

 

Support Tailored to the College Experience

Our counseling services for college students are specifically designed to address the complex transitions and stressors that often come with young adulthood. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or academic burnout, our therapists offer a compassionate space to explore what’s weighing on you and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

During summer, students often experience a pause in the busy structure of campus life. This break can create space to reflect, reset, and tackle underlying issues in a more focused way. Our Vernon Hills office provides a calm, welcoming environment for in-person sessions, and we also offer virtual therapy for students who may be out of town or prefer meeting online.

 

What to Expect During Summer Therapy

We begin with a free consultation to understand your goals and match you with a therapist who fits your personality and needs. Whether you’re home for a few weeks or planning to stay in the area long-term, we’ll work with your schedule to build a plan that works for you.

Your therapy sessions will focus on the things that matter most to you, your mental health, relationships, identity, stress levels, and life direction. We often see students who are exploring personal growth, healing from trauma, adjusting to independence, or dealing with feelings of isolation or pressure to succeed. No matter where you are emotionally, therapy gives you a space to slow down and sort through what you’re feeling.

 

Why Summer Is a Great Time for Therapy

With fewer academic demands and a shift in pace, summer offers a unique window to focus on emotional well-being. Counseling during this time can help you reset before the next academic year, process difficult experiences from the school year, or prepare for upcoming transitions, whether that’s graduation, a new relationship, or moving away from home.

Our Vernon Hills therapists work with college students from many backgrounds and identities, offering a supportive and affirming space to talk openly and feel heard. With therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based tools, we tailor each session to meet your individual needs and goals.
