Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Do you have anxiety-provoking thoughts that won’t go away? Do you avoid certain situations or do the same things over and over to get rid of your anxiety only to find temporary relief? Do you feel like your OCD or anxiety is running your life? You are in the right place. As a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety I am committed to empowering you to get back into the driver’s seat and feel in control of your life. I provide Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which aim to reduce symptoms and improve wellbeing by cultivating flexibility in thinking and behavior. My approach to treatment is collaborative and goal-oriented. Working together, you and I will look at what factors are contributing to your struggles and develop a plan for changing the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Seeking help is an act of courage, but I will be there with you throughout with empathy, genuineness, curiosity, and perseverance. If this resonates with you, the next step would be to reach out to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where I can hear about what you’re going through, share more about my approach, and we can see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure about who you’re becoming. Maybe you’re juggling school, relationships, or life between cultures—and it’s starting to feel like too much. I specialize in working with college students and young adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, cultural adjustment, and identity exploration. As a bilingual (English–Mandarin) therapist, I understand how cultural roots and personal growth can sometimes pull us in different directions—and how lonely that can feel. My approach combines Existential Analysis with evidence-based therapies such as ACT, CBT, and DBT. I meet you with curiosity and compassion, helping you build emotional clarity, self-trust, and balance. Together, we explore the patterns that shape your story and nurture the parts of you ready to grow. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. We’ll take it one step at a time, in a space that’s thoughtful, collaborative, and fully yours.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with years of experience in various settings, including university counseling centers (Baruch, NYU, Fordham), a psychiatric in-patient unit, a community outpatient clinic, and a rehabilitation hospital. I have an extensive experience working with young adults and adults coping with a wide range of mental disorders and life stressors (e.g., depression; anxiety; trauma; adjustment issues; acculturation issues; interpersonal difficulties; racial trauma). I utilize an integrative approach that synthesizes elements from various therapy models (e.g., psychodynamic, CBT, DBT). Through this approach, I will support you in gaining new in sights and meanings, building new skills, recognizing your incredible resilience, and breaking free from unhelpful patterns that may be holding you back. In our therapeutic journey together, my primary aim is to establish a profound sense of connection with you. Using this therapeutic alliance, I will gently yet firmly encourage you to confront your challenges, facilitating new experiences and understanding.

Hi! I’m Rachel Wolk (she/her), a neurodiverse, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. I’m passionate about supporting folks through anxiety, complex trauma, Autism, and ADHD. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master of Social Work from Columbia University, where I specialized in Advanced Clinical Practice. I'm also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, relationship-based work. I often integrate sensory and somatic interventions, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Coherence Therapy to support the mind-body-environment connection. I believe in honoring each person’s unique nervous system and lived experience, and I strive to create a space where all parts of you feel seen and supported. While I do offer in-person sessions, we’ll likely meet virtually to better accommodate the flexibility needed for a college schedule. That said, I’m always open to making exceptions on a case-by-case basis if in-person sessions feel essential to creating a safe and secure therapeutic space for you. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email, I'm happy to set up a free 15-minute consultation call!

College and the years around it can stir up a lot. Anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, questions around substance use, and sometimes experiences that are genuinely hard to carry alone. If any of that feels familiar, you've found someone who understands. I work with adults and young adults, and I believe most of what brings people to therapy makes sense once we understand the story behind it. Many of the patterns causing you pain today were once the ways you learned to survive. My style is warm, compassionate, and direct, and I'll meet you with acceptance rather than judgment. A significant part of my work has involved supporting people through addiction and recovery, alongside trauma, attachment, and the search for identity. My approach draws on psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed perspectives, with attention to both mind and body. We'll move at your pace, and telehealth makes it easy to fit therapy around a full schedule. Whatever you're facing, you won't face it alone.
