Why The College Psychiatrist?

At The College Psychiatrist, we understand that the unique journey of being a student is filled with both excitement and challenges. We recognize the courage it takes to seek help, especially when struggling academically, and the frustration of not finding the right support on campus. Often, academic difficulties are misunderstood as solely mental health concerns and vice versa.

Our team of psychiatrists is here to provide guidance, support, and expertise, helping you navigate the complexities of higher education while fostering self-awareness and essential skills. We are dedicated to ensuring a seamless journey through higher education, guiding you every step of the way.

Founded by Dr. Bianca Busch, TCP embodies a fusion of medical expertise, developmental insight, and astute business acumen. Dr. Busch bridges the gap between the mental health field and external entities, offering invaluable insights and fostering collaborative partnerships that transcend conventional approaches.
