šŸ“š Too much homework. Constant deadlines. Test anxiety. Social pressures. Lack of sleep. The stress of school can build quietly—until it suddenly feels impossible to manage.

If you're a student who feels overwhelmed, unmotivated, or stuck in cycles of burnout… or a parent watching your child struggle under academic pressure… you're not alone.

School stress is real, and it affects more than grades. It can impact mental health, confidence, sleep, relationships, and overall well-being.

At Dr. Messina & Associates in Southlake, we offer counseling for middle school, high school, and college students facing school-related stress. Our therapists work with students to:
- Understand and manage anxiety around performance
- Build healthier routines for focus and time management
- Cope with academic pressure, perfectionism, and comparison
- Talk through social stress, isolation, or motivation struggles

Therapy gives students a safe space to talk, process, and learn tools to handle school in a way that’s sustainable—not overwhelming.
