Therapists for college students near 10003

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist accepting new clients who need evaluation and treatment for ADHD, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.

I provide individual therapy to people ages 18 and up. I specialize in working with queer and trans people, pot-stirrers, and outsiders. I enjoy working with people who are confronting major identity shifts, people who are navigating issues with their families of origin, and people who are trying to envision a future they never imagined themselves in (What is middle age? What is aging in queer spaces? How can I live meaningfully in late stage capitalism?).

Hi! I'm Lauren. My goal is to help you cultivate more peace, stability, and joy in your life. Together, we can work toward reducing stress, fostering emotional balance, and creating meaningful connections that support your overall well-being. Whether you're seeking clarity during a challenging time or looking to make lasting changes, I am here to support you on your journey to a more fulfilling and harmonious life. I'm a social worker who enjoys working with adults, adolescents, and children from all backgrounds and intersecting identities. I'm committed to being an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming practitioner who integrates social justice into my practice whenever possible. As a therapist, I will focus on your strengths and resilience, trust you to be the expert of your own experiences, and provide a warm and supportive environment to freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and desires for change. I have experience working with people living with anxiety, depression, OCD, and who have experienced trauma. My style is humanistic and relational, often incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, emotion-focused approaches, and somatic practices. I will integrate these different approaches according to your specific needs.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. For your consideration, I am a Board Certified Masters Level Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified School Social Work Specialist. I also possess a graduate certificate in School Security and Safety Administration. I have been a school social worker for 35 years, and have been in private practice for over 28 years. Due to the COVID 19 Pandemic and in order to keep my clients safe during this time, I am now offering telehealth and video therapy services only. Please reach out for more information. For your convenience, I am NOW ACCEPTING American Express, MasterCard, Discover and Visa (Credit and Debit Cards). Please call or email me for an individual, couples, family, or adolescent therapy consultation today.

I have been working in college, young adult, and adult mental health for 20 years. I am board-certified in the treatment that works best in most cases, behavioral and cognitive therapy (CBT). Therapy works best if you have a strong relationship with the person treating you. I look forward to the chance to try.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Clinician I have had the privilege of helping my clients find hope and healing for over eleven years. My experience has given me the opportunity to assist clients of all backgrounds in managing their struggles with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction issues and more. I use research-backed, evidence-based therapy techniques, empathy, humor and warmth to elicit true healing and growth. I commend you for taking these first steps toward positive change and I look forward to being a part of your therapeutic journey!

Finding support for your mental health is one of the most meaningful steps you can take for yourself. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of experience, my work centers on helping people of all ages navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and life transitions. Whether you're facing low self-worth, struggling to set healthy boundaries, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to find your way through it alone. My goal is to be a steady, empowering partner in your healing process. Together, we'll work toward building clarity, resilience, and the confidence to move forward with purpose. Wherever you are right now, that's exactly where we'll begin. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and structured, with a genuine belief that lasting healing comes from understanding what's at the root of your struggles. Creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe enough to go deeper is something I take seriously in every session. Using trauma-informed care and skills-based Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), we'll work together to process emotional pain, manage distress, and build healthier patterns that support greater stability and overall functioning. My style is warm and empowering, and the way we work will always be tailored to your unique capacity to process, accept, and grow. You can expect care that honors who you are and meets you with both structure and heart. Growing up, watching family members navigate mental health challenges, some diagnosed and others not, planted a seed that has shaped everything about the therapist I've become. Coming from a Caribbean background, I saw firsthand how deeply stigma can prevent people from seeking the help they deserve. That experience became a calling to provide a supportive space for my community so they feel that therapy can be effective and not feeling judged. Providing care that is affirming and culturally informed has been my commitment ever since. Understanding how individual and cultural experiences shape the way people cope with distress is something I bring to every conversation. Outside of sessions, life is full of the things that bring me joy and keep me grounded. Cooking is a creative outlet, binge-watching a great TV series is a favorite way to unwind, and spending time with family is where I feel most at home.

My approach emphasizes relationship and rapport building, empathy, and compassion. You are the writer of your own story, but together we can work on developing tools tailored to your specific needs. My background includes working with adolescents and adults from various communities and cultures experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, cancer, PTSD, mood disorders, executive dysfunction, or disruption in family and/or relationship dynamics. As a therapist, my goal for my clients is to assist them in achieving their goals based on the strengths they already possess, building upon those strengths, and creating new ways to adapt to different life events and stressful circumstances.

Are you struggling with adjusting to life while in school? Experiencing anxiety around passing your classes or keeping your grades up? Having challenges with your social life or relationships while in school? Struggling with complex family dynamics? Having fears or worries about the future? I can help you make sense of what you're experiencing and feeling, and provide the tools to help you feel more steady and confident. I'm a social worker with over 20 years of experience helping people experiencing life adjustments, anxiety, identity issues, grief, and trauma. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental approach focused on healing and finding or returning to joy in life. I work with individuals of all backgrounds, and center the needs of people who’ve historically been excluded or harmed by traditional systems of care, including: BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), LGBTQAI+, TGNC (trans and gender non-conforming), the disabled and chronically ill, single mothers, first generation college students, and trauma victims/survivors. Outside of my work with clients, I love reading, hiking, and going to concerts and comedy shows. I'm naturally curious about people and would love to hear about how you enjoy spending your time when you're not studying. I'd love the chance to work with you and to help you navigate this important time of your life. Please reach out so we can schedule a free initial conversation soon.

You try so hard to keep the peace. You don't want to "rock the boat", and desperately want others to like you. After years of bending over backwards, your nerves are so much on edge that others have called you "too sensitive" or "overly emotional". In relationships with family, friends, partners, and coworkers, you feel powerless and plagued with doubt. Overthinking and spiraling thoughts are your new norm. But recently, you're realizing that you've been putting other people first for years, so much so, that you've forgotten to take care of yourself. That's where our work together comes in. Are you ready to learn to trust your own voice? Are you ready to shed the message that you have to please others to have happy relationships? Are you ready to stop overthinking? And most importantly, are you ready to begin taking care of yourself, the way you've been taking care of others for years? Invest in yourself and take that next step by clicking "Email Me" button or giving me a call. I offer a free phone consultation, and see clients in-person in my Oneonta Office and via telehealth anywhere in New York. I specialize in working with college students, and have experience in working with adults of all ages. I look forward to hearing from you!

If you’re looking for a fellow traveler to walk alongside you through life’s challenges, I am here to support you. Whether you are new to therapy, or therapy is familiar to you, you deserve a space where your whole story is heard and valued. I specialize in working with people who have often felt like the odd person out— like they are navigating worlds that weren’t built for them. Individuals carrying the weight of difficult family dynamics or persistent criticism; or moving through identity shifts or life transitions that leave them unsure of who they are becoming. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone— and you’re not broken. My approach is active and collaborative because sitting and listening isn't enough to foster meaningful insight. I integrate Psychodynamic psychotherapy & Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) with a focus on the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for healing. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) & sensory calming techniques to settle your nervous system. From the first session our work will feel like a conversation. I am interested in you & learning about the rhythms of your life. We'll talk about your sleep, stress, what and who matters to you, as well as the challenges you're facing. We'll also talk about your history and how it has informed your sense of self. You have the space to decide if we're a fit.

In my years of experience I have come to realize so much about living in the world robs us of our ability to acknowledge our own magic. Therapy should be a safe place for you to begin to reclaim that magic and learn how to discover your own power. By using a "bottom to top" approach to identify how long held, negative beliefs, have kept you reliving and repeating the past, you can finally live in the present. I provide a safe, non judgemental space for you to work through trauma and reclaim the power inherent in you.
