Therapists for college students near 10003
Hi, I'm Dr. Franks! When I see students, I conduct an initial session where I provide a diagnosis (if present) and can recommend and provide medications and/or therapy for treatment. I enjoy working with students because their task to start living on their own and develop their own identity is uniquely challenging and exciting. I can help with the diagnosis and treatment of things like depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, etc. Symptoms that my patients commonly struggle with include worry, sadness, suicidal thinking, stress, insomnia, and trouble concentrating. I am passionate about working with motivated students to help them thrive during their time in college. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Denver, earning degrees in Biology, Chemistry, and French. I completed my medical and residency training at the University of Colorado, where I had the privilege of serving as Chief Resident. I have since worked in private practice. I look forward to working with you!
Life happens in unexpected ways. My goal is to work with you to navigate some of these issues, and help you to make changes to negative thoughts, feelings and actions. I am here to provide a place to safely share and identify boundaries to living your best life!
Let’s be real. Life is hard. It is messy and crazy and sometimes, it just feels out of control. Your space is a mess, your roommates are on your last nerve, you have a major assignment to work on, and you just cannot get a moment to think straight. Then there’s that thought in the background that you’re not doing enough, that you’re not enough. You’re questioning yourself and feeling overwhelmed. College is hard. This phase of life is hard. Feeling the pressure to succeed can feel unbearable. This is where therapy comes in. To learn how to address these thoughts & emotions in a safe space and develop a plan of action to move forward, feeling confident in yourself.
NPC is a close-knit, depth-psychotherapy group practice, where clients are drawn to the warmth and dynamic expertise of our team. We are staffed by a senior, licensed psychologist, a certified couples and sex therapist, and a certified practitioner of experiential therapy and trauma work. As the founder/lead psychologist, Dr. Jennifer Neuhof, the prior Director of Fordham University’s CPS and NYPSA Div. President, consults with our team regarding all aspects of client care. Our psychotherapists share a depth-psychodynamic conceptual lens with an integrative approach, drawing insights from diverse models based on client needs: Family-systems, trauma and neuroscience-informed, family systems, transpersonal, evidence-based somatic, CBT, and DBT. Collaboratively, we offer outstanding and compassionate care. We recognize that therapy is both science and art. As such, we synthesize scientific knowledge and evidence-based methods with experiential wisdom and intuitive insights. Our own self-awareness, coupled with empathic presence, allows us to deeply connect with our clients and empower them to live the lives they truly desire. Our specializations include all seasons of intimate relationships, family conflict, enmeshment and individuation, prenatal, pregnancy, and parenting concerns, life transitions, trauma therapy following emotional, physical, sexual, narcissistic abuse, or neglect, dissociated states, self-abandonment, overwhelm and anxiety, nervous system regulation, depression, feelings of meaninglessness, self-sabotage, psychosomatic conditions, chronic illness and pain, masking and true self emergence, and honing one’s intuition, creativity, and leadership development. Treating emerging mental health and medical professionals is a great privilege. We approach this work with a keen awareness of the unique stressors; the realities of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, perception of invulnerability, reputation management, and the radical need for self-care. Insight, we believe, is a powerful tool—not only for personal fulfillment, but also for enhancing patient relationships and health outcomes. Treatment duration, frequency and modality are tailored to our client’s needs.
Offering clinician specific specializations including treatment for disordered eating, trauma, addiction, women's wellness, grief, anxiety, OCD, mood disorders, & gender affirming care for all our LGBTQIA+ friends, including letters of readiness.

However, I strongly believe that the effectiveness of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship. I view therapy as a collaborative effort between the client and the therapist.

If you're reading this you've already taken the first step towards improving your mental health. Congratulations! Life can be overwhelming, I believe we all have a mental backpack we fill with the pebbles and rocks created by the stress and experiences in our life. Eventually the straps fray, it gets heavy, and your back begins to ache. My goal is to help lighten the load! Therapy's an invaluable tool in learning to cope with life's stresses. Through a dynamic of trust and collaboration I strive to create a warm, judgment-free, safe space to explore yourself and the world around you. At your own pace (with some nudges along the way) you’ll gain the self-knowledge and skills needed to live a more stable and fulfilled life. Finding the right therapist can be challenging, and not every clinician is the right fit. I always encourage people to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation by email or through Alma if you think I might be the right person for you
