Therapy that fits a college life.
College mental health support is often overwhelmed. Counseling centers run on session limits, waitlists, and rotating trainees. Sanare Counseling Group offers consistent, confidential therapy with the same therapist over time — for UMD, Hopkins, Towson, UMBC, Salisbury, and the dozens of smaller Maryland campuses.
What brings college students in.
Test anxiety, perfectionism, the constant comparison to peers, the panic when grades slip.
Especially in freshman year, after a breakup, or during exam season. Hard to ask for help when everyone else looks fine.
Sexuality, gender, race, religion, family expectations versus your own. College amplifies all of it.
Common, often hidden, increasingly serious in college environments. We work with the whole picture.
Therapy that follows you.
Across the breaks. Home for winter and summer? Keep your therapist. As long as you stay in Maryland, sessions continue uninterrupted.
From your dorm or off-campus. No walk across campus. No fear of being seen heading to the counseling center.
Around your schedule. Evening and weekend slots available. We work around lab, rehearsal, work-study, sports.
Confidential from parents. If you’re over 18, your records are yours. We do not share with parents unless you ask us to.
Insurance for students
Most parents’ plans cover dependents through age 26. We verify your specific plan.
What students ask.
How is this different from my campus counseling center?
Campus centers are often great but usually limited to short-term care (6 to 12 sessions). With us, you have ongoing care with the same therapist for as long as needed.
Will my parents see this?
If you’re 18+, your sessions and records are confidential from your parents. Insurance claims contain coded diagnostic information that goes to the policyholder’s account — that may show “behavioral health” but doesn’t include content or specifics.
What about during summer break?
If you’re in Maryland during break, sessions continue normally. If you’re traveling, we can sometimes accommodate sessions while you’re out of state, depending on the state’s licensing rules.
I’m not sure I have a diagnosis. Is therapy still worth it?
Absolutely. Most college students who do therapy don’t have a major diagnosis — they’re navigating real life and finding it helpful to have steady support.
Are you LGBTQ+ affirming?
Yes. Several of our therapists work specifically with LGBTQ+ college students and the particular pressures of identity work in college.
