Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Beginning therapy can be a challenge, and finding a therapist who is the right fit for you may be an additional challenge. As a Psychotherapist, I specialize in management of Trauma/PTSD, Relationship Issues, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Depression and Personality Disorders. I use a person-centered approach to best serve each of my clients. My role is to be both a "coach" and supporter, who will help you progress from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth. I can assist you with providing new coping skills, and help you to increase insight into the issues you may be facing. I believe that the best therapy outcomes result from building a strong connection, setting goals, and working together as a collaborative team. If you are wanting to modify unhelpful patterns and behaviors, increase ability to reflect, or process a difficult event in your life, I am here to provide you with a safe listening space, and help you with provision of constructive feedback and support.

My work has centered around supporting adults with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and relationships. I believe you are the expert on your life and through this lens, our time together will focus on working collaboratively. Therapy can be challenging and requires vulnerability and courage, however, it leads to growth as a human being in this very complicated world. I work from a holistic perspective and view my clients through the lens of intersectional identities (family/ethnic heritage, culture, race, class, spirituality/religion, age, disability, gender, and sexual orientation) and strongly believe in treating every therapeutic relationship with respect, admiration, and openness. My background and training have explored many dimensions of the human experience and the way we relate to each other and our surroundings. I have worked with adults in the criminal justice system. I integrate several modalities into my therapeutic relationships, including Cognitive Behavioral/Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential and Multicultural Therapy, Somatic and Emotion-focused, as well as Strengths-based and Psychodynamic theory. I am a trauma-informed therapist and understand the importance and impact this holds within the therapeutic space. I believe therapy should work towards claiming truth in whatever form it exists. I value the complexities of the human condition and believe in the importance of educating myself on issues outside of my own experience. I am a Spanish-speaking provider and deeply welcome and enjoy working with members of all communities and backgrounds. Change can be an uncomfortable process, and at times quite intimidating. We will strive to work toward your goals while holding space for discomfort and staying mindful within the therapeutic process. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible.

Hi, I’m a Columbia University–trained clinician with 20 years of experience working with college learners in a range of roles—including psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and professor. I specialize in supporting young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity development, and even high-performance areas like academics and sports. I bring both clinical depth and real-world understanding to the therapy room—and what makes me a little different is that I genuinely get the college experience. I’ve spent my career in it, and I know how to blend evidence-based strategies with humor, warmth, and a nonjudgmental presence that helps clients feel both seen and empowered.

My favorite part of being a therapist is the continuously evolving relationship that I foster with my clients. I love learning about my clients— everything that makes them who they are, from their interests to their cultural influences to their friends and family, and how all of this impacts the way they view the world. I am passionate about assisting clients who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and relationship issues but also enjoy working with clients with a variety of other concerns including addictions, self-esteem, trauma, and more. I provide counseling that is culturally competent and LGBTQ+ affirming. In our sessions, I can integrate therapy methods based on what works best for you; I can help you to stay present, develop coping skills, work on motivation to change, and examine how your thought patterns could be impacting the way you are feeling. I love that as a therapist I get the chance to show my clients a new way of approaching their struggles and help them learn to value themselves for who they are. I look forward to the chance to be with you on this journey; whatever you are struggling with, we can work it out together. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

I have been working as a mental health therapist for more than 5 years, treating adults through bouts of depression, anxiety, trauma, transitions, divorces, times of grief and uncertainty. I truly value the therapeutic space and strive for you to feel welcomed and comforted within each session. Therapy is something not everyone knows they need nor do they always think they want it, but let me tell you. It is something that will help you to navigate those difficult days and improve your ability to navigate life in a healthier way. What is holding you back from following through and targeting your own needs? Let me help you to understand what drives you, what holds you back and what it is you are longing for. Let’s make deeper connections to understand your worries, your barriers, and your strengths. Therapy is not always comfortable, but my goal is to always help you to understand how you can better manage those moments of distress as we work toward improving your quality of life and engaging your mind to better navigate stressful situations. Let’s work together to find some balance for you, to nurture your mind and help to explore your full potential, one day at a time. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible.

Maybe you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—racing thoughts that won't quiet, relationships that feel disconnected, or parts of yourself that don't quite fit together.

I believe that our past experiences shape us and in our sessions together I'll ask you to draw from your past in order to help inform and make meaning of the present.
