Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Thank you for reviewing my profile and see if we could be a good fit! My experience includes working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Additionally, I work with many clients dealing with career or school related stress. Prior to my work as a Mental Health Counselor, I worked in the corporate world of fashion, which gave me a deep understanding of how a fast-paced and demanding work environment can affect one’s well-being. I believe the most important factor is the relationship between myself and my clients. A genuine, trusting relationship is so critical for this work. My initial training was at Northwestern University, and was centered in a psychodynamic approach; however, I have additional training in, Mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, and IFS approaches. This allows me to pull from multiple techniques to do what is best for each client and their goals. I work collaboratively with individuals. I want to hear your input as we devise a plan on how to reach your goals. You can expect me to check in often on how you feel therapy is going, and use feedback to help modify our approach as needed. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing if we could be a good fit!

College can feel exciting, but also stressful, overwhelming, and lonely at times. Many of the students I work with are balancing school, relationships, family expectations, and their own mental health. My approach is warm and supportive, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you manage stress, build confidence, and feel more grounded. You don’t have to go through it alone.

I specialize in working with those struggling anxiety. I often support individuals who feel stuck in cycles of rumination and worry, helping them gain greater control over challenging thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll build a toolbox of skills to navigate stressors and create meaningful life change. My therapy style is curious, thoughtful, and non-judgmental. I strive to help clients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, accept what is beyond their control, and commit to values-driven actions that improve their quality of life.

Hello, I’m Tova, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. Taking a step toward prioritizing your mental health is a meaningful and courageous act, and I’m honored to support you on this journey. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, relational, and psychodynamic. I strive to build a strong, supportive relationship and help you explore how your past experiences may be influencing your present. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity to every session, creating a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. I integrate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and always work through a trauma-informed lens. Your comfort and emotional safety are my highest priorities. Together, we’ll work collaboratively toward your goals, whether that involves developing self-care practices, managing stress, learning grounding techniques, or any other area that supports your overall well-being. Each session is tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and values, because I believe therapy should be as individual as you are.

Hello, my name is Ari. I'm a native New Yorker whose passion for psychiatry started early on and has grown through years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD, and also provide brief supportive therapy around personal challenges like relationships, self-esteem, and sexual health. My approach is grounded in inclusivity and affirmation, shaped in part by my own experiences within the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I focus on helping people work through uncertainty and doubt, with the goal of opening up space for clarity, growth, and possibility. Outside of work, I love to exercise, travel, read, and get lost in a good movie.

My clients often come to me with a history of trauma or adversity, and a strong desire to process and understand how their past has shaped them to be the person they are today. They’re motivated, insightful, eager to grow, and have a strong desire to learn the skills necessary to have healthier relationships, better communication, and improved confidence. Through our work together, we begin to understand and develop the tools necessary to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms that can at times be a barrier for further growth. I aim to provide an empathetic and compassionate space where clients feel safe to open up and supported in their process. Utilizing a non-pathologizing and trauma-informed lens, I help clients put together a cohesive narrative of their life experiences to empower them to begin building a life that feels aligned with their goals and values. At the core of my work is the belief that a strong therapeutic connection is the foundation for successful treatment allowing for personal growth, insight, and healing. Beginning therapy is not always an easy process, but we will always go at your pace as we work toward better days.

Are you someone who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their true potential, and is seeking a path toward healing, self-discovery, and growth? Relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity or adjusting to change can be barriers to personal growth. In the therapeutic relationship there are ample opportunities to explore experiences, values, and self-awareness through an intersectional lens, leading to meaningful personal insights and positive change. As a holistic clinician with 10 years of experience in the mental health field I utilize person-centered and evidence-based practices as well as expressive arts and mindfulness. I specialize in providing culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ affirming care to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment, and societal challenges. It is a privilege to create a unique, safe, and supportive space with my clients through trust, empathy, and authenticity. Collaboration with my clients is integral to developing individualized treatment plans tailored to unique needs and goals. Together, we will move forward in healing, empowerment, and emotional wellness.

Making the decision to go to counseling can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re just beginning your counseling journey, or looking to make a change, I recognize the importance of working with a counselor who feels like the right fit for you. I seek to cultivate a mutual sense of trust, respect, and comfort in the therapeutic space to create the necessary foundation for any therapeutic work to begin. I take a trauma-informed approach guided by feminist perspectives that is tailored to each client. I integrate techniques from a range of perspectives, as I firmly believe every client is different and requires an approach that fits their individual needs. I strive to empower you to explore your experiences in a non-judgemental and supportive environment. I enjoy working with individuals 18+ on anxiety, trauma, women’s issues, and life transitions, though I have experience treating a range of presentations. Healing is not a linear process and what may sometimes seem like a step back is often a step forward. I look forward to working with you and sharing in all that your unique journey brings!

Are you an artist, entertainer, or creative struggling with your mental health? Individuals who work with me are often people with big dreams and ambitions, but who also happen to deal with anxiety and depression. They understand that in order to do their best in their work, working on themselves in a must. With my own prior experience working in the arts, I am able to connect to my clients on a deeper level to help them achieve their artistic and personal goals. Helping artists and creatives navigate their mental health has become a life passion, and is the main focus of my private practice. Managing mental health while dealing with the ups and downs of the arts industry is no easy task. Having a provider that understands these unique challenges and addresses them regularly can help. You don't have to go through these challenges on your own, and there is help out there. Please reach out so we can discuss your goals for treatment, and begin your wellness journey! I believe in offering free 15 minute phone call consultations, so we can both see if it is a good fit. Hope to hear from you soon.

Psychotherapy can benefit people facing a range of challenges. Currently, I see adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship or interpersonal difficulties, and sometimes with health/illness issues. I see many people experiencing distress and other symptoms associated with life transitions such as adolescence, marriage, new parenthood or challenges in family planning, divorce, professional or personal role redefinition, retirement, and aging. I provide counseling to individuals and couples struggling with the shifting roles and demands of these complicated times. Therapy is a collaboration. I bring a warm, curious, nonjudgmental nature, an appreciation for individual differences, spontaneity and value of humor. Together, we explore patterns, thoughts, and feelings from the past and present. Clients begin therapy not only with identified concerns but also with resources that can be harnessed for lasting change. I use an active, contemporary approach to psychotherapy. I integrate psychodynamic, relational and cognitive-behavioral models and, where appropriate, health psychology, tailoring my work to each individual and their circumstances. My goal is to help people find relief from their suffering and to discover new ways of experiencing life to its fullest.

Are you having trouble managing day-to-day worries and fears? Do you struggle with imposter syndrome in a world where everything is social media perfect? Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Finding yourself saying yes when you would rather say no? This can create anxiety and dissatisfaction in our lives and relationships and can leave us feeling resentful and unfulfilled. We’ll work together to dig deep, identify your challenges and create solutions to effectively manage the difficult situations you find yourself in over and over again. We’ll develop a plan to shift old patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from living your best life. My goal is for you to live more authentically with a greater sense of understanding and connection to yourself and others. I offer guidance and support in developing self-awareness and building effective coping skills to break free from anxiety and stress while accessing one’s own inner resilience, strength, and wisdom. If you are ready to find a new sense of confidence and meaning in your life, I’m here to help you get there.

I earned my dual B.S. in psychology and sociology from CUNY Hunter College and my M.A. in mental health counseling from CUNY Brooklyn College. I have over 5 years of experience in the mental health field with a wide range of levels including but not limited to depression, anxieties, LGBTQ+ related issues, intersectional identities, intergenerational trauma, and relational & interpersonal difficulties. I am trained in Psychodynamic and CBT Therapy. I aim to provide a space of acceptance and authenticity in my practice. I believe that therapy should be supportive and collaborative so that you may continue to heal, grow, and empower yourself to lead a life that aligns with your values. My work is informed through a multicultural integrative lens and I work with my clients to explore conflict and tension, navigate internal experiences, and change their narrative to operate more effectively. Therapy is a unique experience for each individual and I adjust my approach and style to account for your unique needs and challenges, while providing a safe, warm, and affirming space.

Perhaps you have been feeling held back by unhelpful thoughts and feelings (worry, doubt, self-criticism) that get in the way or prevent you from living in the present moment. Or maybe you keep engaging in the same patterns of behavior over and over again, rather than moving toward the things you care about most. We partner with our clients to help them find new ways to navigate anxiety, OCD, low mood, and difficult life transitions. Our approach is focused on what is happening in the present while also honoring how your past experiences and identities shape where you are today. We use evidence-based treatments backed by science (including CBT, ACT, Exposure and Response Prevention) to help you reduce suffering and respond more flexibly to life’s many challenges. If you are exhausted by your obsessions, badgered by your inner critic, or trapped in anxious thought loops, you have come to the right place. To learn more, get in touch by phone or email to schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation.

Counseling is a brave space for clients to explore their experience, rewrite their narratives, and build stronger relationships. I also believe in a holistic approach to therapy to ensure all aspects of a person’s life are considered. Through my own mental health journey, I have learned the significance of collaborating with mind, body, and spirit. As a Black woman, I understand the need to provide mental health services to Black and minority communities, and to help eliminate negative stigmas about mental health for people of color. I am a sex-positive individual, who encourages identities outside of heteronormativity. I aim to help clients embark on their own wellness journeys and to cultivate a quality of life that reflects their personal values, cultures, and beliefs. I will use elements of DBT, Somatic, AEDP, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing modalities to individualize treatment for each client’s specific needs and goals. I strive for a therapeutic relationship that can be the foundation for continual healing and growth, where learning takes the forefront and challenging discussions are encouraged. I am passionate and open to hearing my client's individual stories with fresh eyes, allowing them to connect and share their authentic selves in a non-judgmental environment.
