Therapists for college students near 10003

We would collaboratively with college students of all ages and offer a free -15 telephone consultation to provide space for you to share a bit more about why you are seeking therapy, an opportunity to share a bit more about how we work as well as time for any additional questions you, your partner or your parents may have. Please visit our website: www.LLYoung.com or email us: Info@LLYoung.com Please indicate that you found us via the thrivingcampus link so we can prioritize our connection with you.

Perhaps you have been feeling held back by unhelpful thoughts and feelings (worry, doubt, self-criticism) that get in the way or prevent you from living in the present moment. Or maybe you keep engaging in the same patterns of behavior over and over again, rather than moving toward the things you care about most. We partner with our clients to help them find new ways to navigate anxiety, OCD, low mood, and difficult life transitions. Our approach is focused on what is happening in the present while also honoring how your past experiences and identities shape where you are today. We use evidence-based treatments backed by science (including CBT, ACT, Exposure and Response Prevention) to help you reduce suffering and respond more flexibly to life’s many challenges. If you are exhausted by your obsessions, badgered by your inner critic, or trapped in anxious thought loops, you have come to the right place. To learn more, get in touch by phone or email to schedule a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation.

I support college students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, burned out, or unsure of where they’re headed. College is a time filled with personal and professional growth, but it can also bring up a lot stress about grades or the future, pressure to succeed, struggles with self-doubt or imposter syndrome, and challenges in relationships with family, friends, or romantic partners. You might be feeling like you're supposed to have it all figured out, but the truth is, it’s okay if you don’t. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or just trying to keep up with everything on your plate, our sessions can be a space to slow down, reflect, and get the support you need. I believe therapy works best when we work together, so I take a collaborative approach to help you identify your goals, track your growth, and adjust as needed. Together, we'll work to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

I love working with clients that are struggling with dating, relationships, or family conflict. I’m trained a few different modalities but all of them are direct and I give feedback. Our sessions will not feel like you are just talking at me. We will actively work together to figure out what issues are impeding your happiness and tools to change them.

Are you struggling with sex, love or relationship issues? I can help. Perhaps you are having difficulty moving on from or deepening a commitment to a relationship. You feel isolated or resentful, possibly because you're not effectively communicating your needs. Maybe your sexual behavior interferes with your relationships, self-image, or productivity. You feel anxious, depressed. My goal is to help you manage these difficult feelings and develop strategies to build a more fulfilling life. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor who provides a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work through any difficulties you have honoring your needs and being authentic in partnerships. I also work with individuals struggling with sexually compulsive behavior or romantic obsession. I am affirmative of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures, and am kink-positive. In my work, I use a combination of treatment approaches to unearth your unconscious, challenge your thought patterns, and help you become more mindful and grounded.

Hi! I am Dr. Monica Johnson. If you’re reading this, it means you are taking your mental and emotional health seriously and researching someone who will be a good fit for your journey. This is exciting! Let me tell you more about me to help you with your decision making process. I am a Licensed Psychologist in NYC, but some people think of me as a problem solving pro, empowerment guru, and self-compassion guide! I partner with my patients to find pathways to a better life. I work best with people who are tired of being stuck and ready to make changes. I can’t change you. Only you can do that, but I’m super excited to be your side kick on the journey and help you highlight roads to success. One of the most important things to know about me is that I am NOT a smile and nod type of therapist. I get down in the trenches with you. I’m down to earth and real with you through this process which means I will call you out on your BS and help you figure out what to do with it. We will work hard and laugh a lot. For the record, there is nothing off limits or shameful in therapy. I’ve seen it all and heard it all. If you need to talk about sex, money, medical issues, or “that one time in Amsterdam,” don’t hesitate! I work with people of all backgrounds (race, gender, sexuality, religion, alternative relationships) and you should expect that I will affirm your identity while helping you to develop a fuller self concept. My job is to help you tap into strengths you already possess (we all have them even if we can’t see them yet) and create new ones! If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, feel constantly overwhelmed by your emotions, past traumas, poor relationships, low self esteem, or just deciding what the next step is in your career/life, I can help.

Welcome to my practice! My name is Nick and I am a licensed mental health counselor, credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor, and board certified telemental health provider. All services are offered online only. Most of our suffering derives from within. Imagine if you talked to a loved one the way you talk to yourself, or if someone spoke to you the way you speak to yourself. It would be unacceptable and it would not be tolerated. Yet we surrender to these thoughts, repeating the same hurtful, debilitating monologue in the echo chamber of our mind. Herein lies the certainty that derives from being on your own, stuck in a position you never reasoned yourself into in the first place. As you develop an awareness of these thoughts that have so greatly affected your life, you’ll learn how to develop a new, more rational narrative based on the values and beliefs that you yourself will create. As your therapist, my job is to navigate this process as you learn to actively change your thoughts, which change your feelings and impact your actions. I am a firm believer in achieving functionality. We want life to work for us, and not against us. Being a flawed, living, breathing human being, I too struggle with this everyday, and I bring that intense desire to make things work in the therapeutic relationship. We work together to solve the ambivalence. It is understandable that when it comes to our motivation to change, we have our ups & downs. I know what it feels like to be stuck. It’s painful, and when you’re in it, you think it will never end. The good news is that it does, and the process of seeing that end can be so much better having someone that understands you by your side, every step of the way. So are you ready to get started?

Are you struggling with self-love and self-acceptance? Do you find yourself fighting with anxiety, addictions, and negative or scattered thoughts? Perhaps you are dealing with issues pertaining to your identity or even going through an existential crisis. I know how hard these times can be because I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. Through our work together you will discover deeper levels of self-love, self-acceptance, and mental resilience. We can unearth past traumas and bring you into alignment with your true Self. You will find calmness and clarity of mind, along with the healing you desire. Come see what it's like to be fully yourself in a caring and compassionate presence. As an LGBTQIA+ therapist, I use a client-centered, humanistic and trauma-sensitive approach to address anxiety and mood disorders, ADHD, and issues pertaining to identity and sexuality. Together we can work through whatever obscures the light of your being. Contact me whenever you are ready to start your healing journey.

I offer compassionate and transformative psychotherapy to individuals 18+ throughout the lifespan, drawing upon both traditional and innovative tools to provide highly individualized and attuned support. I have expertise working with anxiety (including social anxiety), life transitions, grief, trauma, work-related stress, family conflicts, and relationship issues. I also work frequently with spirituality and religion, multicultural issues, adjustment disorder, and concerns relating to college students and recent graduates. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 15 years of professional experience. I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Religious Studies and graduating Cum Laude. I received my Master in Social Work degree at NYU. I have a certificate in Relational Psychotherapy and utilize mindfulness-based tools like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In addition, I have trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) level 1 and the beginning and intermediate levels of Somatic Experiencing (a body-based approach), innovative therapeutic tools that I incorporate into my work. If a client already working with a primary therapist wishes to pursue an adjunct treatment focusing specifically on SE or IFS, I can design a therapy program to support these goals. I also provide adjunct therapy specifically targeting social anxiety. Before transitioning to private practice, I was a staff therapist at Columbia University Counseling and Psychological Services for eight years. I have extensive experience offering psychotherapy to adults of all ages, leading groups focused on creating connections and managing anxiety, and presenting virtual and in-person workshops to large audiences in professional and educational contexts. At this time, I see clients via telehealth throughout New York State and do not offer in-person sessions. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss how I may support you.

I work with students who feel like life is moving too fast and expectations are piling up. Maybe you’re stressed about classes, friendships, or future plans, or just feeling unsure of yourself. Therapy is a place to slow down, be heard, and figure out what really matters to you. The people I work with often struggle with stress, self-doubt, or adjusting to big life changes. Together, we explore ways to handle pressure, build confidence, and find balance in your academic and personal life. Sessions are a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. You’ll leave with practical strategies and a clearer sense of your own goals and values, so you can navigate college life with more confidence and calm.

Hello! I'm a licensed clinical social worker, specializing in working with students who are feeling unseen in their relationships, or are navigating anxiety, self-doubt and adjustments to transitions in their lives. My therapeutic approach is centered on what you need. I encourage you to explore your strengths, and take charge in the care you are seeking. I take the time to get to know my clients deeply to understand their goals and needs to better help them feel comfortable.

Do you feel stuck in life and are unsure how to move forward? Do you feel helpless about your future and where it might lead? Do you stay up at night worrying about friendships, classes, or the life/work balance? Do you sometimes get consumed by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, loneliness, depression, or anxiety? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the therapists at Liz Morrison Therapy might be the right fit for you. Therapy can help to challenge and reframe the behaviors and thoughts that keep you stuck and scared. It can also help you to stop comparing yourself to your friends, family, and the people on your social media feed. As your therapist, we would work with you to develop practical skills and strategies for dealing with your stresses, worries, and fears. We offer real-world guidance in making positive changes in your life and remain on your side throughout. When we work together, you get the support and guidance you need to take small, manageable steps toward your goals. Step by step, we’ll come up with a plan to figure out how to build the future of your dreams.

Welcome! Thank you so much for being here. As a Dominican-American and first-generation college graduate, I understand the challenges of breaking generational barriers and the value of feeling truly supported. I work with children, teens, and adults, supporting them as they navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life's many transitions. Please know that you don't have to face any of this alone. Together, we'll create a nonjudgmental, caring space where you can pause, reflect, and gently explore what's on your heart and mind at your own pace. I believe healing occurs when you feel safe, seen, and accepted for who you are. In our sessions, I offer empathy, curiosity, and patience, creating a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My approach blends Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to foster insight, trust, and tools for growth. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it's about walking alongside you, helping you reconnect with your strengths, and creating a safe space for processing and transformation. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to support you. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I would be honored to connect. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

I specialize in working with people who are experiencing life transitions, such as marriage, divorce, parenting, career, loss of a loved one, aging, and existential anxiety. Transitions can be stressful because it means you need to make changes in how you are living your life. I work with people who are at a crossroads of important decisions or who are having difficulties navigating and adjusting to a change in life circumstances. Going in a direction you have not gone before can bring up feelings of fear, doubt, and uncertainty. If you are trying to figure out what you want from your life, I will provide a safe and nonjudgmental place where we can explore your emotions, challenges, choices and possible consequences, and best approaches to move forward. Going through the process of taking stock of your life can often lead you to a new beginning which opens up new possibilities. With every life transition, we need to let go of a past way of thinking or being and replace it with something new. Together we can create a path towards change and healing.

Therapy can help you effect change in your life and make it more meaningful, fuller, more joyful, or more vibrant. It is wonderful that you are taking this first step in gaining possibilities for yourself. Life can be full of tension and it is helpful to talk with someone who can empower you and help you find your calm, your center, and your action. I will approach your care without assumptions or judgments, with curiosity and an intent for us to both be surprised and create and discover new experiences that facilitate an amazing life. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with intense and painful anxiety, fear, sadness, despair, and a lack of meaning or direction. People I work with experience me as genuinely caring, thoughtful, and passionate and find relief and rejuvenation in a space of containing that we create together.

My practice specializes in Millennial and Gen Z clients, especially college/grad students and young professionals. I help them to find their balance in this chaotic world, so that they can finally enjoy all they’re doing and working for—instead of letting anxiety, stress, and insecurities call the shots. My clients may be driven or thoughtful, and from the outside, it may look like they are doing OK. But on the inside, they feel defective and alone, like everyone else must know some secret to life that they don't. If you're feeling that way, I get how painful and exhausting it can be. I'd love to help you get to a better place. Most of my clients come in for help with anxiety, depression, traumatic or upsetting memories, or just feeling overwhelmed. For some there's a sense of being in "quarter life crisis." They're needing support navigating school, work, relationships, self-esteem, or the transition to college or postgrad life. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD, autism, and others), unconventional thinkers, and deep feelers. I affirm and embrace what makes each client unique. My active, personalized approach draws from CBT, ACT, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Reach out anytime. I’d love to connect!

Hello, my name is Sarah. Do you know that feeling of being sad or down most of the time? Or feeling so anxious and you’re not even sure why? I know I do, I think most of us have from time to time. I’m here to work collaboratively with you to start making the changes in your thoughts and behaviors that will allow you to feel relief and be present for yourself. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. I’ve had the privilege of working with adults of all ages who are struggling to find balance and stability within themselves and their relationships. My treatment modality includes drawing from mindfulness-based techniques as well as advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches. We will work to expose and challenge your unhealthy or negative thoughts in order to get you feeling better, fast! Through incorporating psychotherapy homework into your week, you will learn how to improve your mood without my help. My specialties include Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, various types of Anxiety, Sadness/ Depression, Communication problems, and Relationship concerns. I am also passionate working with individuals a part of the LGBTQ+ community who have experienced discrimination, rejection, and labeling. I deeply care about providing an inclusive space for you to receive help and support. I believe our emotions show awesome and wonderful qualities about ourselves that I hope to uncover with you.
