Burnout has become a buzzword in recent years, but for those experiencing it firsthand, it’s far more than a trend. It’s a heavy, draining, and often invisible struggle that impacts your work, relationships, energy levels, and even your sense of identity. If you’re constantly tired, unmotivated, or emotionally detached, it’s not just “a busy season”—you might be experiencing burnout.

At Blue Square Counseling, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for burnout to help adults and professionals recover, reset, and reconnect with what matters most.

When you think of therapy, you might picture someone going through a tough breakup, grieving a loss, or struggling with panic attacks—and yes, therapy can absolutely help in those moments. But what if you didn’t have to wait for a crisis to begin?

More and more young adults are turning to therapy as a proactive tool for wellness, clarity, and self-growth. And we think that’s a smart move.

At Blue Square Counseling, we support young adults and college students across Massachusetts—in-person in Billerica and Lexington, and via telehealth statewide—who want to take charge of their mental health before things feel overwhelming.

College can be an exciting time of growth and discovery—but for LGBTQ+ students, it can also be a time of increased emotional stress. Navigating identity, family relationships, and campus life while dealing with discrimination or internalized shame can take a toll on mental health. That’s why it’s so important to shine a light on the unique mental health challenges LGBTQ+ college students face—and how therapy can help.

At Blue Square Counseling, we provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy for young adults in college, both in person at our offices in Billerica and Lexington, MA, and through virtual telehealth across Massachusetts. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, identity-related stress, or just need a safe space to talk, you don’t have to go through it alone.

College is often painted as “the best years of your life.” But for many students, it’s also one of the most emotionally challenging times. Between academic pressure, social comparisons, and the weight of expectations, it’s easy to fall into patterns of self-doubt and harsh inner criticism.

If you constantly think, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’m going to fail,” you’re not alone. These thoughts can become a mental loop that’s hard to escape—but there’s a proven way to interrupt it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective tools for helping students overcome negative thinking and regain confidence and clarity.

At Blue Square Counseling, we offer CBT therapy for students in and around Billerica and Lexington, MA, and via telehealth or online counseling, helping young adults challenge unhelpful beliefs and develop healthier, more empowering thought patterns.

College is supposed to be one of the most exciting times in life. New freedom, new friends, and the chance to figure out who you are.

But for many students, it’s also incredibly stressful.

If you're feeling off lately—tired, irritable, disconnected—it might be more than just a rough week. Mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and burnout are common among college students, and they don’t always show up in obvious ways.

At Blue Square Counseling, we work with young adults and college students across Massachusetts (in person and via telehealth) to help them feel better, think more clearly, and get back to enjoying life again.

Here are five signs you might be struggling more than you realize—and how therapy can help.

You’ve made it to college. You packed your bags, moved into a dorm, and started a new chapter. But instead of feeling excited and free, you feel… off. Maybe it’s anxiety. Maybe it’s homesickness. Maybe it’s a mix of everything. If college has been harder than you expected, you’re not alone—and more importantly, you don’t have to figure it out alone either.
