Therapists for college students near New York, NY
First off, I would like to thank you sincerely for allowing me to be a part of your personal journey. I appreciate how difficult it is to share your most intimate, private thoughts and feelings, and will guarantee you a trustworthy, supportive, and honest relationship if you choose to enter one. I am Rakell, a Licensed Social Worker continuously striving to enhance my education and experience. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work. Additionally, I am certified in Child Welfare and Trauma-Informed Care, always embracing new training opportunities to expand my knowledge. Many of my clients often face trauma, mental health challenges, or complex family dynamics. They seek a compassionate and skilled therapist who understands the multifaceted nature of their experiences and can provide effective, evidence-based support. Their goals may include healing from past trauma, improving family relationships, managing anxiety or depression, or navigating life's transitions with greater resilience. In my practice, I take a trauma-focused approach while considering the systemic factors that influence each client's life. I employ a variety of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Humanistic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Family Systems Theory. I work with children, adolescents, families, couples, the elderly, and individuals with developmental disabilities. I look forward to meeting you and joining your lifelong journey to embrace your health—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and culturally. If chosen to be your therapist, I will always promote safety, security, happiness, and positivity in a non-judgmental manner. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is a crucial tool for enhancing your healing process and capabilities. Together, we can build that relationship and work towards your goals. If this relationship does not work out, I will make every effort to provide referrals that may suit you better. Let's take this step together and create a path towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Reach out to begin your journey of healing and growth.
I specialize in providing compassionate and effective therapy for adolescents and young adults facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning concerns, life transitions, and attachment and relationship issues. With a wealth of experience as a pediatric and adult medical social worker at a leading NYC hospital, I bring expertise in counseling individuals and families dealing with chronic medical conditions, grief, and loss. My unique professional background with individuals across the lifespan has afforded me a practical understanding of psychosocial development and enriched my humanistic approach to care. In my therapy practice, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that addresses the specific needs of each individual, promoting growth, resilience, and overall well-being.
I believe that the foundation to effective and meaningful therapeutic work lies in the mutual building of a safe and trusting relationship in which the client feels valued, respected, and understood. Seeking therapeutic support requires a significant amount of courage. I take this seriously and feel deeply honored to be trusted to do this work and to witness the growth of those I serve. I value an inclusive and neurodiversity affirming approach to psychotherapy. I have ample experience working with people from varying socioeconomic, cultural and racial backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
Hi, I’m Emma! I am the proud owner of The Sensory Space. Our approach to therapy is collaborative. Together we will work to help you meet your goals and find a better understanding of yourself. We work with children, adults, families and groups. Utilizing a strength based, person centered approach helps us meet clients where they are. The goal in this work is to help clients identify strengths within themselves and develop ways to live productive and confident lives.
The idea of starting therapy can stir up many emotions for us. Maybe we're scared of getting vulnerable. Maybe we're struggling to accept that we need help and feel like we've failed. And maybe a little bit of us sparks with hope that something better can happen in our lives; that change is possible. Many people enter therapy feeling disconnected and low on hope, but together we can work to change that. I love helping clients to restore hope and connection with their most authentic selves. Over the last decade I have worked with people coping with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also bring a specialized focus in working with adoptees and caregivers (especially those who find themselves unexpectedly care giving for a loved one earlier in life than they anticipated). My work is most informed by a background in trauma, attachment, and self compassion. My favorite part of being a therapist is helping people to see themselves with more clarity and kindness. If you think I might be a good fit to work with you, drop me a message and let's chat!

Those stressors can force us to operate in extreme ways causing experiences of fear or uncertainty, dissatisfaction in relationships, or an erratic relationship with food.

Hello! I’m a therapist who believes that real healing happens through self-compassion, mindfulness, and meaningful connection. If you’re feeling stuck in the same old patterns—overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down emotionally—I’m here to help you shift that. A big part of my work is helping people feel their feelings in a real, embodied way. We’ll slow down, tune into your body, and start to notice what’s actually going on underneath the surface. I use somatic tools to help you reconnect with yourself and move through emotional blocks—not just talk about them. At the same time, I’ll support you in building practical skills that make daily life feel more manageable and empowering. I always keep a trauma-informed lens and acknowledge how systems of oppression and past experiences impact your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. Therapy with me is about creating space for change while being kind to yourself along the way. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
