Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I’m Dr. Clara Kuntz, a licensed psychologist in New York and owner of Introspective Journey Psychological Services. I provide specialized online therapy for college students across New York. I support students navigating ADHD, autism, giftedness, anxiety, perfectionism, binge eating, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), burnout, and/ or grief, including pet loss. My approach is thoughtful, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based care—designed to support neurodivergent and deeply reflective students as they manage academic stress, build balance, gain clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change.

The trajectory to adulthood is not an easy or smooth path, and can include hurdles such as stress, feeling stuck, uncertainty, anxiety, and relationship issues. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with considerable experience and expertise working with young adults. Within the safe, confidential relationship of psychotherapy, I help people identify the sources of their challenges and minimize the barriers that hold them back in life. People often come to my office struggling with such issues as anxiety, depression, eating and body image issues, family and relationship concerns, and struggles with sense of identity. At times we are all uncomfortable looking at ourselves - that's natural! I help my clients to feel comfortable looking at the uncomfortable. When we approach this process with curiosity, we can allow ourselves to grow, heal, and thrive. Often, as we connect with our thoughts and feelings in new ways, we can improve relationships and our sense of ourself. I welcome a free phone consultation to discuss any questions you may have and to explore whether working together may be a helpful experience for you.

My approach to therapy is focused on developing genuine relationships that are collaborative and empathic, so clients can feel safe, understood, and supported in sessions. I’m committed to exploring and affirming each client's individuality and intersecting identities, and to supporting individuals in the LGBTQ+ and CNM communities, college students, and professors. I work with adults focused on issues related to social anxiety, ADHD, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship/communication dynamics, and climate anxiety. Sessions are based on a foundation of relational warmth and safety to build a sense of connection, empowerment, deeper insight, and personal resiliency. I primarily draw from person-centered, feminist, trauma-informed, narrative, and IFS approaches, but there is not one specific kind of therapy that works well for everyone. We all have unique strengths and perspectives. Sessions focus on identifying ways to create sustainable positive changes given each client's particular context and lived experience.

My history of working in school settings from pre-K through college has shaped my approach to therapy, which is rooted in the belief that counseling is a learning process. From the foundation of a strong client/counselor partnership, clients can build skills and gain understanding to foster better relationships with both themselves and others, while also developing a more intentional and effective process for responding to stressors and challenges. Together, we can collaborate to clarify your goals for counseling and develop an individualized plan that balances support, insight, and skill building.

We strive to create a warm and supportive environment to help clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I am committed to using evidence-based techniques that have been shown to produce measurable results. The therapeutic modalities I use have a robust body of research that support their use for the specific problems being addressed. My therapeutic approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and insight-oriented interventions to help identify the negative beliefs that have prevented you from achieving your personal and relationship goals and experience greater joy. I have extensive experience in the treatment of depression, self-esteem, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, body focus repetitive disorders, self–defeating habits, and bereavement.

My style is collaborative and flexible, tailored to your unique needs and goals. I look forward to helping you feel empowered, understood, and confident as you work toward growth and balance. My path to becoming a therapist grew from years of working closely with children and families as a nanny, dance teacher, and school-based clinician. These experiences in both clinical and school-based settings deepened my commitment to providing empathetic, developmentally informed care. In my practice now, I bring warmth, creativity, and genuine curiosity to each session, honoring every patient’s unique story. I am also planning to pursue my Doctor of Social Work, reflecting my commitment to ongoing growth, ethical practice, and providing thoughtful, high-quality care to every patient I serve. In both my personal and professional life, I value balance, self-reflection, and creative expression. Outside of therapy, I nurture my mind and body through creative movement, including dance, Pilates, yoga, meditation, mindfulness practices, and journaling. I also enjoy exploring spirituality, tarots, and manifestation for a well-rounded life.

Are you overthinking, people pleasing, having relationships issues or even over-giving? I offer a complimentary 15 min meeting to see if we are a good fit. Let’s explore what’s underneath the stress, sadness, self-doubt or worry. I’m here to help you unpack your feelings in a way that feels supportive, non-judgmental and real. Together, we will work toward helping you feel more grounded and confident. Please feel free to text or leave a voicemail to (914) 867-4324
