"I started going to therapy when I was 16 initially because of the transition from high school to college. It was right around the time of studying for SATs, looking at colleges, and all that. I felt like I wasn't sure what the future held and was really anxious, so I decided talking to my mom just wasn't enough! I stopped therapy my freshman year of college.
