Academic Challenges Psychologists in Lake Forest, California

School – or any kind of academic environment – presents students with a unique set of pressures and challenges that can lead to psychological and emotional distress. Some students might experience difficulties with academic participation due to an underlying mental health challenge that impacts performance, such as ADHD or perfectionism. Other students might find that the demands of academia lead to significant stress or other common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression, which can also impact academic participation.

Given the range of potential academic stressors, a number of different therapeutic modalities can help you improve your functioning – and even begin to thrive – at school. Depending on the nature of your specific challenges, your psychologist might teach you new skills for coping or time-management, help you deal with bullying, assist you in examining thinking patterns (such as those related to perfectionism or procrastination), and support you in developing more helpful perspectives.
