Therapy for Northland students.
Northland College sits in Ashland, Wisconsin. Telehealth means you can keep your therapist when you go home for break, when you transfer, when you graduate and move across the state for the first real job. The free 15 minutes consult tells you whether we are a fit before you commit to anything.
Small liberal arts campuses are intense in a specific way. At Northland, with around 290 students, the community is close. Friendships form fast and matter a lot. Identity questions surface in the seminar room. There is nowhere to hide a bad week.
Therapy with someone off-campus gives you a place where the conversation is not about your reputation among the other forty people in your major. I see students from Northland by telehealth; sessions are private and have nothing to do with your academic record.
What students typically bring.
- Identity questions surfaced by close reading, late-night dorm conversations, and seminar-style intensity.
- Intense friendships and the breakups that follow them.
- The depression that sometimes shows up in winter and again in March.
- The pressure to have a clear post-graduation answer when most peers seem to.
- First-generation college experiences that the school did not prepare anyone to navigate.
How the work fits a college schedule.
Telehealth sessions are 50 minutes. Most students start weekly or every other week and adjust from there. You can sit in your dorm, your apartment, or the quiet corner of a library study room with headphones; the only requirement is somewhere you will not be interrupted for an hour. Sessions hold over breaks and over the summer if you want them to.
Free 15 minutes consult comes first. We talk about what brings you in and whether I am the right person for it. If I am not, I tell you that, and where to look. No pressure to commit on that call.
Insurance and cost.
I accept BadgerCare, Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance plans including those carried by student health plans. If you are on a parent's plan from outside Wisconsin, telehealth from a Wisconsin therapist may or may not be covered; we can check together on the consult call. Out-of-pocket session fee is $125 with sliding-scale consideration for students who need it.
Around Ashland more broadly.
If you live off-campus in Ashland or in the towns around it, the same telehealth applies. The Ashland therapy page lists the topics I cover for clients across the city, not just students.
