Therapists for college students near 10003

Historically, I have worked with children and adults processing trauma, and supported those diagnosed with ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. However, in recent years I have begun to narrow my focus on supporting University students. At this time in history I feel supporting the mental health of this group is of the utmost importance as they face existential and emotional challenges unique to the generations that have come before. Using a combination of creative interventions and talk therapy techniques, I offer a unique and collaborative therapeutic experience to support individuals through the transitional space of University life and provide a safe and affirming space for them to reflect on who they are and who they want to be in this world.

Hello! I am a Licensed Therapist in New York. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages who are truly interested in making positive changes that will bring them closer to their own personal goals. I am a married mother of two boys, which has provided me with additional insights and experience that influence my therapeutic skillset. Therapy is a collaborative process that begins with the establishment of a trusting, therapeutic relationship. It is my view that therapy is client led and that clients are the experts on themselves and their experiences. Together, we will co-construct goals that are achievable and meaningful to you. I would like to support you in your overall mental and emotional wellness goals through the use of evidenced based practices while giving targeted feedback and therapeutic insights that will help you to better understand how to move closer to the person that you want to become.

Therapy can be scary and I understand how overwhelming it may feel to begin the treatment process. Therefore, it is my goal to create a safe, comfortable and judgement free environment for each of my clients. Together, it is my hope to build a trusting, therapeutic relationship to support each client's healing and growth. I believe that it is my role as a therapist to allow each client to be heard and to guide them through the change process in a way that makes sense for them.

Do you feel deeply, think a lot, and sometimes wish your brain had an “off” switch? Are you exploring your identity and looking for a space that affirms all of who you are—queer, neurodivergent, artistic, sensitive? Are you going through a big change—like starting college, coming out, or navigating independence—and feeling lost or unsure of your place in the world? Are you drawn to self-growth, even when it feels overwhelming or hard to quiet your inner critic? My practice may be a good fit for you if you're looking to explore these questions. I’ve worked with many individuals to develop therapeutic goals and take meaningful steps toward achieving them. Past clients have reported experiencing less anxiety and depression, developing effective ways to manage and cope with their emotions, and feeling a deeper connection to themselves and others.

I specialize in working with women who are dissatisfied with their life. You used to be happy and carefree and now are overcome with anxiety that is impacting your relationships and daily life. You might have some difficult things that have happened to you that you haven't processed yet. You might wish for better family relationships but are now realizing that you don't get what you need from them. You're feeling untethered and want to find your people. You want to create a life you want to wake up to. I can help.

I provide relational, culturally responsive therapy that centers your lived experiences and honors the ways your relationships, history, and identity shape who you are today. I approach therapy as a collaborative space where we can slow down, reflect, and better understand patterns that may be contributing to distress or disconnection. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational cultural therapy. This means I pay close attention to how past and present relationships influence emotions, behaviors, and self-understanding, and how growth often happens through connection, authenticity, and mutual understanding. I also integrate trauma-informed and strengths-based

As a clinician I provide an open non-judgmental environment where students can express themselves candidly. Whether you are experiencing anxiety due to a lack of work/life balance, from dealing with dysfunctional relationships and/or just an overall internal feeling of discomfort I can help you find get back on track and achieve your optimal level of function. Client's often come to therapy with an obstacle that is holding them back such as some type of past trauma, volatile relationship and/or financial struggles that are keeping them from reaching their goals. Please contact me for support and let's develop an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your goals.

Healing is unique. The challenges and hurdles that one person might be facing can be different from another. Therefore, the journey of healing must be uniquely altered to fit and support each individual. Traditional evidence-based practices are utilized with the option of incorporating additional spiritual supports. With this formula, an improved quality of life is experienced. As a healer, my life's calling is to walk with you and shed light onto your own unique pathway towards the life that you desire. My hope is through sharing with you the tools I have picked up along my own journey, you will find your own toolbox filling with valuable aids. I specialize in incorporating spiritual aspects: Reiki, Past Life Therapy, Shamanism. If you feel that you may benefit from working with me, or would benefit from the approach I take towards healing, I encourage you to reach out. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

I'm a creative arts therapist trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. That's just a fancy way of saying that I help people work through overwhelming thoughts, feelings and experiences with a blend of talk, music, artmaking and mindfulness. I work with every client to figure out the right balance, but the goal is the same: helping you feel less overwhelmed so that you can live the life you'd always hoped you would.

Through the stress of everyday life, so many of us have learned to put our needs aside. Often, we ignore them in the service of others, overwhelm, or simply not knowing how to nurture ourselves. I help clients to develop insight around why they may do this and address the root cause of the problem for healing that lasts. It is my honor and privilege to join you on this journey.

Many of the people I work with have complicated histories and families.

I received my MSW at Columbia University and a Post Masters Certificate in Individual Therapy at Hunter College School of Social Work. I completed my psychoanalytic training at The Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey; I serve on the Board of Directors and Training Committee as Dean of Students and I teach and supervise psychotherapists. My approach to therapy utilizes Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Attachment Theory, Trauma Theory, Emotionally Focused Theory (EFT), and EMDR.

I’m a caring, outdoor loving, problem solving person at heart. I’m passionate about helping others feel alive, confident and encouraged. I have found many tools along my professional and personal journey to support people in managing painful emotions, de-escalating family and partner conflict and living a life informed, not run, by emotions. I’ve experienced how strong and complicated, messy and beautiful families can be. I’ve also seen how trauma, seemingly “small” or “large,” can affect a person and those closest to them, how it can empower and debilitate. Emotions can be confusing and they can also help cultivate our strengths. When it comes to facing painful emotions, people can sometimes feel alone, scared and hopeless, with nowhere to turn. There are resources, places, people and skills that can help. You don’t have to do this alone. I want you to know that it’s possible to find comfort and hope in the midst of loss, trauma, conflict or whatever challenge you may be facing. While I believe one of the most important factors in making therapy work for you is how you connect with your therapist, it’s also important you be given the tools and care to move you toward your goals. All too often I’ve seen how discouraged people become by mental health care and it’s my goal to provide a service that is routed in effective methods and treatment and a genuine, caring space for you to share and shape your story. I am committed to helping individuals and families get “unstuck” and lead you toward experiencing joy, genuine connection, hope and the ability to access your strengths, passions and resources. No matter what your age, socio-economic status, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or culture, mental health can affect us all; and sometimes these factors can unfairly make it even more challenging to navigate. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone to talk and heal.
