Therapists for college students near 10003
At some time in life, everyone feels overwhelmed and looks for a path to a happier, more comfortable day-to-day routine. That is different for everybody, and regardless of your individual needs, I can help you reach your goals. Change is not easy. When change involves mental health including anxiety and depression, substance abuse, or addressing negative behavioral patterns, it is necessary to involve a mental health professional. With over 20 years of experience, I create a warm, safe environment that allows growth to happen. Using a variety of methods including motivational enhancement therapy, critical time intervention, harm reduction methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy I connect with clients and lead them through short and long term life changes. I have experience working with teens, young adults, families, and adults. Set up a free consultation with me to discuss a plan to help you meet your needs.
Hola mi gente! I am a licensed, bilingual mental health counselor who works with college-aged and emerging adult populations. I support students experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management concerns, and life transitions by providing a collaborative and non-judgmental space to explore challenges and build practical coping skills. My goal is to help students feel supported, empowered, and better equipped to navigate both academic and personal stressors. I offer services in both English and Spanish.
Being a human can be hard sometimes. Being overwhelmed and exhausted are normal feelings of being a human. I want to support you through these overwhelming times so you feel less alone. I want to be someone in your corner supporting you! I am Victoria McKnight, a second-year MSW student at Binghamton University and I went into the profession of Social Work to support people in life’s challenges. I am passionate about helping people reach their goals one step at a time! During our sessions together we will focus on what it is that you need that day. We will work together to understand how your thoughts are impacting your feelings and how those feelings can ultimately impact your behavior. We will be working towards improving your skills and tools to help you combat life’s challenges. We will focus on tools and techniques you can practice in your life that will help you with stress, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings. Again I will use a person-centered approach allowing our sessions to be altered to what you need and what works best for you! My therapeutic approach entails a core belief in a strengths-based approach. I believe that each person has strengths that they can tap into, to achieve their therapeutic goals. I also incorporate trauma-informed care as this modality is a broad support approach to how trauma has impacted a person. I always strive to provide clients with a safe, supportive environment in which they can feel seen, heard, and supported. You are the expert in your own life, in your journey and I will do my best to ensure that I support you in this journey. My overall intention is to allow you to feel comfortable in the space we create together. Whatever is going on in your life I want you to be able to bring that to our sessions where we can talk openly about it. I always want you to feel supported and connected to resources surrounding you that you can turn to for support. As I continue my journey as a social worker I hope to be someone who people can look back on their time with and say she provided me with a safe space to work through this crazy journey we call life together. Victoria McKnight is a therapist-in-training at Sol Health. Sol Health is a digital health startup that offers $30 therapy sessions for Gen Zs by connecting them to therapist-in-training accruing clinical hours.
I am a clinical psychologist with almost 25 years of experience in working with college students. I began my career at the University of Rochester and later Johns Hopkins University and Loyola University of Maryland. I have been in private practice since 2003. I have specific interests in the treatment of anxiety, depression, body image, eating disorders and chronic medical conditions. I enjoy working with individuals through the developmental transitions of college. Often times people want to improve their relationships, seek support with the stresses of academic and social lives, all while dealing with the various challenges of being a young adult in today's world. The mental health needs of the 18-25 year old age group are unique and therapy can be a safe place to help navigate them.
The therapy practice is called Lotus Psychology Practice because we find ourselves inspired by the lotus flower. It grows beautifully out of the mud. Many get stuck in the mud and fail to see their inner strengths and beauty. At Lotus Psychology Practice we help you get out the mud and help you find your strength.
Managing anxiety and chronic stress can be isolating, but you do not need to do it alone. Do you feel consumed by worry? Like you're always waiting for the next disaster to strike? Do you find it difficult to be present in your life due to racing thoughts or feelings of dread? Have you been struggling with the exhaustion, tension, or panic that never seems to leave you? You see where you want to be, but you're feeling stuck and are uncertain about the next steps. You can grow and heal by voicing your thoughts in a safe environment, exploring your emotions, and expressing yourself in a purposeful way! We are all trying to cope with life's continuous changes. During our sessions, we will evaluate where unhelpful thoughts and ways of coping originated from and create goals to lead to healthier habits and a deeper sense of self. Since the body and mind are connected, we will also focus on managing the physical symptoms of stress to support overall wellness. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize that everyone has a unique story and I would be privileged to hear yours and to walk alongside you in your healing journey. I invite you to reach out via email or my website to book a free 15-min consultation. During that time, we can discuss what therapy may consist of for you.
We all can struggle with life transitions, among those are entering college and graduating. We also want a thriving life but can struggle with depressive thoughts, anxious thinking, grief or finding a sense of purpose. I aim to work with you to identify what gets in the way of a more fulfilling life and then to work together to figure out ways to better relate to difficult internal thoughts and feelings and external circumstances. I'm a collaborative therapist who knows that you are the expert when it comes ... to you. I want to serve as a guide. I like to have a bit of a sense of humor and encourage with an emphasis on finding your strengths and what matters most to you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of New York and is currently in the process of receiving my PhD in Mental Health Counseling at Pace University. I recognize that each individual is unique and is the expert in their own life. I utilize a person-centered approach focusing on key components of positive psychology and cognitive mindfulness techniques to help foster resilience when facing adversity. I believe the most important way a person can be fully themselves is by building a trusting, empathetic, and compassionate relationship between a client and a therapist. My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients gain insight into their thoughts, better identify emotions, and empower clients to make more mindful decisions for themselves. I am passionate about helping children, teens, and adults navigate their lives. I utilize creativity and mindfulness with my clients and incorporate stepping outside of the box to provide clients the opportunity to freely express themselves while learning healthy ways to communicate their emotions. My motto comes from my Great Aunt Mary: “Wherever you plant her, she will grow” This is the motto that I hold for all of my clients, wherever life might take you, you have the ability to grow to your full potential, even when planted in adverse and challenging environments. Every garden needs support to grow, let me be your support along your journey!

I appreciate the time you are taking to choose the best person and process for your specific needs. Being a college student requires a lot of difficult choices, and I know finding a counselor can be hard as well. Here are some thoughts about how I work, but please contact me if you have other questions. My goal as a counselor is to shape our work around the needs, goals, and overall direction you want to take in your life. If you have very focused, concrete issues you want to address, we’ll use a solution-focused approach to create plans and strategies for focused change and growth. If you have more broad, complicated things to address, we talk about a deeper purpose and meaning for your life that can serve as a foundation for more significant changes. No matter what you would like to talk about in counseling, we will capitalize on your strengths as a whole person to create the change you seek.
All are welcome here. I am humbled you chose me as your witness! I am a trauma alchemist, transformative life coach and consultant whose client population mostly consists of (but is not limited to) Latinx and Black powerful cycle breakers. I engage in transformational work with survivors of childhood trauma, toxic friendships, mother-daughter dysfunction, father wound, poverty trauma, spiritual abuse, and imposter syndrome, immigration/acculturation & gaslighting. Trauma manifests in many forms including: anxiety, depression, hyper-vigilance, codependency, people pleasing, self-criticism, and difficulty regulating emotions. I am love, a mothering and caretaker archetype. My clinical approach is varied— I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. I use all modalities based on the client’s needs and goals. I center people’s experiences and their interactions within systems of oppression. I provide a soft space for clients to land to unpack and process. I believe everyone deserves a sacred space to feel accepted, grow, and thrive. As an inclusive and affirming clinician, I am committed to journeying with you, as we tap into what makes you feel alive, vibrant and at home in yourself. In this journeying of being and embodiment, you will experience clarity, and let go of what is no longer serving you.

I love working with people to understand their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. All of these patterns have a root cause, and have served you in some way at some time—even if they are now proving to be unhelpful or harmful. In our work together, we will come to better understand the problems you face, develop a plan to make a change, and then put that plan into action. I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, BPD, ADHD, patterns of difficulty regulating emotions, and pervasive isolation/interpersonal conflict. I have extensive experience in behavioral modalities such as CBT and DBT, as well psychodynamic and trauma-focused therapy. My approach balances acceptance and validation of the challenges that may bring you to treatment, with the simultaneous need for change. I will pull from various types of therapy, depending on what is most appropriate for you. Our work together will be collaborative and iterative, while also structured and purposeful. Regardless of your particular reasons for seeking a therapist at this time, I will always prioritize your personal goals, identity and values—some of which may very well evolve over time. I hope to connect soon if you feel we may be a good match!
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a licensed school psychologist. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY. Urban and rural, inpatient and outpatient work settings have taught me about the many challenges an individual may face including experiences of oppression and injustice, as well as a deep appreciation for the richness of the human experience. My style is described as warm, analytical and collaborative, balancing deep emotional work with elements of humor and lightness when appropriate. I aim to help clients address the root of complex challenges, in a safe and supported way. I most enjoy working with anxious kids and families, neurodivergent humans, queer clients, and folks working with depression, trauma, attachment, and identity including DID. I use insight-oriented, mindfulness-based, and systemic approaches including family therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, and emotion-focused work. I seek to help clients understand patterns that may not be serving them, and to hold a safe and empowering space in which positive shifts can occur. I am a student and teacher of yoga and meditation and I often weave these practices into my work with clients. I currently offer virtual therapy to clients in Oregon, New York, Colorado and Vermont.
