Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults. I have extensive experience with survivors of trauma, and often use a trauma-informed lens. I focus on issues that impact the life cycle, including relationship stressors, parenting challenges, career choices, managing the effects of chronic illness, and dealing with aging parents. In addition, I am skilled at helping clients and families deal with end of life issues, grief and bereavement. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder. I believe the connection between the therapist and the client is paramount, and I work hard to build a therapeutic alliance with my clients by always meeting them where they are emotionally, spiritually and cognitively. I am direct and supportive at the same time, and believe strongly in people's ability to change their lives. It is a privilege to share space with a client when they are experiencing challenges, and I often tell my clients that I will hold the hope for them until they are able to do so themselves. Please reach out if you think we might work well together.

Hi! My name is Sydney Huppert (she/her), and I am a New York State licensed clinical mental health counselor based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, life transitions, burn out, and relationship challenges. I also provide neurodivergent affirming care to support the unique challenges faced by Autistic and ADHD clients. My approach to therapy is holistic and rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Research consistently shows that the best predictor in successful therapy is the strength of the relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space where clients feel seen and understood. I draw from a range of evidence-based and client-centered modalities. I work with each client to identify their unique needs and goals to grow in the ways you need.

I am a clinical psychologist with over twenty five years of experience working with college aged students and adults. I provide an atmosphere that is warm, supportive and validating. I have expertise in areas of anxiety, relationships issues, depression and trauma. My approach in working with patients is eclectic (psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy) and depends on the needs of each individual patient. Currently, I am only providing teletherapy and Zoom sessions.

I work with individuals who are curious to pursue change - whether this be by reflecting on obstacles, with a specific goal in mind, or simply because something feels as if it is not "working" for them. One does not have to be 100% motivated to use therapy well, instead, s/he/they can come to sessions with any sense of willingness to explore.

Are you experiencing a significant life transition, struggling with anxiety, or seeking to heal from generational or identity-based trauma? You deserve a safe and supportive environment where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered. I specialize in assisting clients from diverse backgrounds—including Latinx, African American, and LGBTQIA communities—in exploring their experiences and developing the skills to thrive. I'm Xioel Terrero, a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health counselor with degrees from Fordham University and Manhattan College.

So many students can feel overwhelmed… by choices, by things that need to be done, by relationships at home and at school, by worries about your own life and the broader world, by figuring out who you are… who you want to be… where you fit in… where you want to go. I want to help you grow to cope more easily with all that’s on your plate. I also specialize in supporting caregivers of all kinds. Do you have aging parents, a loved one with dementia or chronic illness, or children (perhaps with special needs) who need your care? Are you a health care worker, teacher, or volunteer? I want to help you balance caring for others with valuing and taking better care of yourself. When we work together, you are in charge; you drive the boat. I view my role as coach, pit crew, investigator, occasional guest lecturer, comic relief, gentle nudge, and trusted companion on your path. My work is all about your strengths and your vision–finding them, sorting between them, nurturing them to take you in directions you want to go. Our work is also about play: finding the courage and confidence to dream, to try, to try again, to try a different route. You can do both, staying present to enjoy as much as possible of your now while moving towards a future that makes your heart sing. All identities warmly welcome.

Hello! My name is Jasmine Cepeda, LCSW. I am a psychotherapist licensed in New York, New Jersey, & Colorado, based in Brooklyn, NYC. I believe all human beings want to be seen, understood, and accepted. As a therapist, I offer a warm, safe, and patient space for such an experience. We all need someone to empower, validate, and actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I strive to do. With over a decade of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in helping individuals foster self-reflection and emotional expression. I guide clients through life transitions and help them process a diverse range of emotions, thoughts, traumas, and complex relationships that may cause distress. For instance, I assist clients in processing feelings such as worry, shame, guilt, fear, and sadness, while also facilitating acceptance, trust, hope, forgiveness, accountability, and a sense of enoughness. My practice is also trauma-informed, ensuring that the impacts of past traumas are validated and that safety and trust are established during the healing process. With an eclectic therapeutic approach, I tailor my services to each person's unique needs, employing three main modalities: Emotion Focused/ Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, & Mindfulness-based/Somatic-based Therapy. Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions section for additional details about these modalities. My approach is centered around helping clients develop self-esteem, authenticity, and emotional regulation skills through building a compassionate presence and mindful awareness. We focus on the present, while integrating the past and being courageously hopeful for the future, even if uncertain. Utilizing the virtual therapy platform Doxy, I provide accessible and convenient care without compromising quality. I am also the author of the books and guided journals: 12 Ways to Cope With Your Latina Mom & Her Difficulties and 12 Ways to Cope With Your Latino Dad & His Difficulties, available on amazon or through direct purchase. Outside of therapy, my interest includes yoga, meditation, and cooking! Lastly, as a native New Yorker and first-generation Latina, with a background in social work, I approach therapy through an anti-oppressive lens. I invite you to reach out and make an appointment.

In addition, I offer a compassionate presence and reverence to the innate wisdom held within each of us. I offer an international multicultural perspective, having lived in Ukraine, the US, and England. In addition, I welcome and am allied with communities such as LGBTQ, polyamorous, single by choice, asexual, sex workers, and open relationship, as just some examples.

You’re tired of questioning yourself and feeling “not enough.” Painful experiences in your past colored your inner world gray... Lingering wounds like childhood trauma, narcissistic partners, and betrayal trauma impact how you see yourself and interact with others. You want to break free from being a perfectionist, people-pleaser, or high achiever compensating for internalized self-blame, shame, or inadequacy. Using a blend of brainspotting & psychoanalysis, we can tap into the connection between your body, brain, and psyche to work through stuck points in your inner world, as well as your social, cultural, and familial landscapes. Brainspotting is an alternative to talk therapy that could bypass the limitations of language and access the brain's subcortical regions involved in emotional processing, memory formation, and instinctive reactions. By focusing on points in the visual field, or "brainspots," we can tap into unresolved trauma and emotions stored in the subcortical brain. My goal is to help you process old pain, gain insight into its origins and how it shaped you, reframe limiting narratives from childhood, and integrate fragmented pieces of you into a cohesive sense of self. Schedule a free phone consult with me through my website to see if we might be a good match.
