Therapists for college students near 10003

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of NY and CT. Many clients are confused when they hear my title and expect that I treat only marriages and families. Our name is a misnomer. I treat individuals, couples and families. My areas of focus with individuals are anxiety, panic, depression, adjustment disorders and trauma. I am an EMDR therapist and have certificates in DBT, TF-CBT and MBSR. I am also skilled in working with relationship difficulties. I consider myself to be very open-minded, accepting and empowering. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey in healing.

I aim to create a space where each person feels seen, understood, and safe enough to show up as they are. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, body image struggles, relationship distress, trauma, family dysfunction, and reproductive-related stress. I believe therapy works best when it feels human, honest, and safe enough to be real. For me, that means showing up as a real person too—usually with a big cup of coffee in hand—while bringing warmth, humor, and directness into our work. Together, we’ll validate what you’ve been through while noticing patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

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.

Making the choice to pursue therapy is an investment in yourself. Therapy is a journey that is shaped by the relationship established between the therapist and the client. Regardless of how the pursuit of therapy evolved, I aim to establish a relationship based on trust, honesty, humor, and respect. These qualities are imperative in working through the difficulties that can disrupt life and relationships. Together we will work toward the fulfillment of your goals and potential.

Are you stressed out and overwhelmed? Feeling frozen by the pressure that comes with college, either academically or socially? Feeling like you're always people-pleasing and not being true to yourself? You're not alone. College can be one of the most exciting and confusing times in one's life, from navigating new identities and relationships to intense academic pressure to the looming questions of "What's next?" and "Where do I go from here?" At HeART Felt Therapy, we specialize in gently and creatively treating the symptoms that come from all of these pressures - including anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our approach is supportive and non-judgmental. If traditional talk therapy hasn't felt quite right, you might find that art therapy gives you a new way to express yourself (no artistic skill required!) that is gentle, intuitive, and healing. We understand how much pressure you're under. Together, we can unpack anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anything else that's weighing on you - in a space that actually feels safe and supportive. Whether your'e trying to find your voice, heal from burnout, or just need someone who gets it, we're here for you. Not sure we'd be a good fit?

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults who struggle with or are impaired by depression and other mood disorders, anxiety and adjustment disorders, self esteem issues, grief resulting from loss and post traumatic stress. I will also incorporate use of mindfulness, emotional freedom technique (tapping), breathwork, muscle relaxation and a person centered/strengths based approach.

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?).

I am committed to supporting college students in navigating the emotional challenges that come with school, relationships, and personal growth. In a safe and non-judgmental space, we’ll explore mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and self-compassion to help you build resilience and thrive. Together, we’ll identify patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, develop practical coping skills, and work toward creating a more balanced, fulfilling life. I also specialize in helping college-aged individuals and couples with communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection, drawing from my training as a Level 2 Couples Clinician by the Gottman Institute. Whether you're navigating personal struggles or relationships, I’ll help you gain insight, strengthen your emotional toolkit, and find lasting solutions. I believe everyone has the potential to grow and thrive, and my goal is to empower you to tap into your strengths. Let’s work together to create a personalized roadmap for success, well-being, and connection during this exciting, yet sometimes challenging, time of your life.

I worked in college counseling for four years, (2021-2025) and understand the unique challenges students face along with the systemic factors that can greatly impact students. Your mental health and wellbeing is essential for navigating the college experience, and you deserve support through this journey. When working together, we usually focus on whatever is most pressing for you. For some, this looks like discussing an upsetting situation and processing the emotions they are feeling, then finding ways to make these emotions more manageable so that they can function in their day-to-day life. Other times, we focus more deeply on connecting patterns and themes that have developed over the course of your life and figuring out how to navigate the world differently. I often help students to better understand and identify their feelings by pausing, slowing down, and connecting the mind and the body. We can work on how to handle distressing feelings without constant avoidance or distractions, how to communicate more effectively, and how to create meaning and wholeness. If you feel anxious, depressed, stressed out, and are having difficulty with managing all of the things you're trying to balance between your personal life and academic responsibilities, reach out and I am happy to connect and see if we'd be a good fit.

Life’s Journey is full of many obstacles and hard-to-manage paths. Sometimes, no matter how much you try, they may feel just impossible. And when anxiety, depression, fear, difficult life decisions, boundary setting, and trauma interfere with your life daily, extra support and connection are needed to lean in and step forward.

At Elevate Wellness Mental Health Counseling, we’re committed to supporting you as you navigate life’s complexities. Whether you're facing unresolved grief, behavioral health challenges, or emotional struggles, I’m here to help you work through them with empathy, expertise, and care. With a client-centered approach, we offer personalized care that addresses the root causes of your concerns while teaching effective coping strategies and skills for long-term healing. Specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss, trauma, and adolescent challenges, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your emotions, understand your behavior, and work through complex issues. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and behavioral treatment techniques, we help you not only manage but thrive in the face of life’s challenges. Our goal is to empower you with the tools and insights to foster emotional resilience and behavioral health.

Welcome! You made it through the first hurdle by asking for help. It's hard to admit, even to yourself, that this time of your life is not easy. It's OK to ask for help. No judgement. This is a safe place. Many of my patients struggle with anxiety, depression or alcohol/drug issues. And many of them get better. Have hope.

My work focuses on adults who experience relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, academic concerns, and trauma - especially relationship trauma. I see individuals and couples virtually and in person within a culturally sensitive practice. We recognize the nuanced experiences of marginalized people including people of color, immigrants, 1st gen college students, women, neurodivergent, working class, and queer folks. I see people as shaped by life experiences, relationships, identities, family, culture, and society. Plus we're unique individuals! Our work will consider all of this. I like to collaborate with my clients and strive to be honest, patient, flexible, nonjudgmental, warm, humble, curious, empathic, and social justice minded. I'm a neurotypical, cis, het, biracial, Black Puerto Rican woman w/ an invisible disability who grew up in a working class city. My approach is decolonial, anti-racist, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and neurodivergent allied, feminist, & trauma-informed. I'm a psychodynamic, relational clinician also trained in CBT, ACT, self-compassion, MI, and attachment.

College can bring pressure, transition, and a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. Many students struggle with anxiety, eating concerns, mood shifts, or feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to change alone. I work with students to understand what’s underneath these experiences and to build a steadier, more grounded way of navigating life.
