Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I am a licensed psychologist in NY and NJ. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship issues. I have extensive experience conducting a wide range of psychological evaluations and assessments such as ADHD testing, Autism Spectrum Disorder evaluations, intelligence and cognitive functioning evaluations. I am committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop healthy coping skills, and achieve meaningful growth.

I have experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, life adjustments, and their interpersonal relationships. My background has equipped me to help individuals navigate these challenges and work towards meaningful change. Throughout our sessions, my goal is to help you feel comfortable being vulnerable and open. By fostering a compassionate and empathetic understanding of yourself, I aim to support you in taking control of your life and finding a path that feels right for you.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task — developing a connection with someone is vulnerable and challenging, but it can be well worth it. I am committed to equipping and empowering my clients with the necessary tools to effectively understand and manage their mental health. In my work with teens and adults, my number one priority is creating a comfortable, person-centered, and safely challenging environment where you can move at your own pace and trust that you will be met with understanding, support, and respect. I provide a trauma-informed, empathetic space to explore difficult prior experiences, without rush or judgment. I am especially passionate about anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, and queer and trans community work. As a proud member of the queer community myself, I understand the importance of LGBTQ+ visibility in the therapeutic space. While I am formally trained in ERP, ACT, and LGBTQ+ centered CBT, I am adaptable in my treatment style and I believe that supporting client needs and fostering the therapeutic relationship is key. To learn more about my practice and treatment style, please feel free to send me an email or schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Our NYC-based practice specializes in anxiety and OCD treatment for college students and young adults. Many of the students we work with are high achievers who are used to pushing through, but are finding that anxiety, overthinking, or burnout are becoming harder to manage. This often shows up as getting stuck in your head, feeling overwhelmed by academic or social pressure, or getting caught in patterns of procrastination, perfectionism, or avoidance. For some, OCD or panic are a big part of the picture. College also brings a new level of independence, and managing academics, friendships, and daily life on your own can make these patterns feel more intense. Our approach is warm, structured, and grounded, focused on helping you understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical skills, and feel more confident navigating this stage of life.

My clients describe me as warm, empathetic, intuitive and easy to talk to. I believe therapy is a unique experience and I work with you to tailor the treatment to your individual needs. I utilize techniques ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), reiki and talk therapy. Prior to becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I worked in NYC public schools as a School Counselor for about 10 years. I have extensive knowledge in dealing with all types of school issues and working with families. I specialized in college transition and managing college as a first-generation college student. I look forward to meeting you!

We are trying to reintegrate in our own way, and it is not easy. Taking good care of our emotional well being is a priority in my eyes. Are you motivated to change and grow? If you need the best person to help you reach your goals? I practice what I preach. “See me”and “hear me”. “Make it safe”. Often this is the beginning of what is missing in relationships. It's hard to ask for help. Being in a relationship is tricky. I appreciate people who are brave to say: "I need help with my life.", "I want to change my life.", & "I am unhappy.". I can help transform your hopes into action. You CAN change your life....if you have the will and desire to do so.

Therapy is a place to talk to someone outside of your every day life. It's a place to gain insight into what is going on within yourself, and to learn more about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. You may begin therapy due to a serious life event, or simply to improve your mood, your lifestyle, or your relationships. I will ask questions and offer feedback to help you look at your problems differently, to make more sense of what's going on in your life, and to unravel difficult issues. We will work together as you decide what changes you may want to begin to make. In addition to working with individuals, I also work with couples. Some couples are early in their relationships and want to make sure they are on the right track. Others have been together longer and want less distressing and hurtful interactions, and instead want positive ways of communicating and connecting with each other. As we work in couples therapy, you will better understand what each person is contributing to the relationship, and you will both learn new skills so that you can better manage your differences, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger and more satisfying relationship. I also offer a 3 hour, premarital/early relationship course. Couples may choose to do this to assess their relationship strengths, and to get learn areas of their relationship that can use some focused work. This course is very helpful to help couples to prevent and change negative patterns from developing, and to learn some very important relationship building skills.

You may be overwhelmed by life’s pressures and need help figuring out what’s really going on. Or you may feel stuck in unhealthy patterns, addictions, interpersonal conflicts, or cycles of anger and frustration, and not know how to change. You may be depressed, carrying psychic anguish and low motivation, or unable to move on from past trauma. Or you may feel moments of intense shame, rejection sensitivity, or self-consciousness, and want to finally talk about it and try to heal and move on. If you want to get to the bottom of your emotional distress, interpersonal difficulties, or sense of stuckness, I would love to work with you. Many people come to me after feeling frustrated with therapy that stayed too surface-level, or where the therapist mostly listened without helping them understand their inner world. If you’re looking for therapy that goes deeper and offers reflection, feedback, and guidance, I invite you to reach out and schedule an initial consultation or first session. I approach each therapy as unique and individual, so that I can tailor my approach to you. I work with young adults and and teens navigating anxiety, shame, depression, identity questions, relationship conflict, compulsive/addictive behaviors, emotional numbness, and stuckness. I reply to all messages within one business day, and invite all inquiries.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice for nearly twenty five years. I work with adolescents, college-age young adults, and adults in regard to anxiety, depression, separation from family, academic stress, relationship issues, parenting difficulties and trauma. My approach is to provide a safe therapeutic relationship to facilitate working on problems in living.

Starting therapy can be a challenging process. I aim to create a therapeutic space where you can approach whatever barriers you may be facing with curiosity and safety in knowing you will not be judged. I specialize in therapy with young/emerging adults and college students experiencing a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, emotion regulation problems, academic/work stress, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have additional expertise in working with family members of individuals with serious mental illness, as well as people who identify as LGBTQIA+. My approach is integrative, primarily grounded in cognitive behavioral theory and supplemented with psychodynamic and relational techniques. I have received training in a variety of evidence-based approaches including DBT, ERP/ExRP, and CBT for psychosis. Our work together will be collaborative, flexible, and goal-oriented. While it can be hard to take the leap, starting therapy can help put you on the path to the life you want to be living. If you think I may be a good fit for the work you are ready to start, please contact me to schedule a free consultation.

Healing is rarely a straight path, and having the right support can make all the difference. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my work centers on helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or struggling to put your feelings into words, you don't have to figure it out alone. For younger patients, those challenges often show up through behavior or difficulty managing emotions, and that's where play therapy can be a powerful tool for expression and growth. For patients of all ages, the goal is the same: to help you better understand yourself, build healthier coping skills, and improve how you feel day to day and in your relationships. My commitment is to meet you exactly where you are. As a supportive and collaborative partner in your healing journey, I look forward to helping you or your child build resilience, gain insight, and create positive, lasting change. Compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented care is at the heart of every session. Creating a space where you feel genuinely safe, heard, and free from judgment is something I'm deeply passionate about, because real growth starts when you feel truly supported. Sessions are shaped by your unique needs, experiences, and goals. Using evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and play therapy techniques, we'll work together to process emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and foster lasting well-being. My style is warm and engaging, and each session is thoughtfully tailored to honor the developmental and emotional needs of every person I work with. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a deep and genuine desire to help others feel understood and supported during some of life's most difficult moments. Through clinical work with children and individuals navigating trauma, that commitment has only grown stronger. Every session, I bring empathy, patience, and authenticity into the room. These qualities aren't just professional values; they're the foundation of the meaningful therapeutic connections I strive to build with each person I have the privilege of working with. When I’m not working, I value time with family and friends. I also enjoy music, traveling, and being in nature, as these experiences help me recharge and bring balance to my life.
