  • developmental transitions (i.e. beginning college, graduation, etc.)
  • relationship problems with peers or family
  • depression, anxiety and stress
  • grief and loss
  • sleep issues
  • difficulty in handling emotions
  • religious concerns
  • building self-esteem and confidence
  • substance use harm reduction strategies
  • substance use recovery support
