Therapists for college students near New York University

Hi, my name is Lee! I’m a queer, transgender white male mental health intern who provides individual, person-centered therapy to clients who may feel lost or disconnected from themself or others. Are you questioning what you want your life to look like? Maybe you're starting a journey to explore your gender or sexuality. Or maybe, you're just feeling down in life and are reaching out for help. If this sounds like you, then I may be a good fit as your therapist! I have personal and extensive professional experience with LGBTQ+ mental health, helping clients through their journey. I specialize in helping those who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and/or ADHD within the intersectionality of their life. I also have experience helping those who are diagnosed later in life with ADHD. If any of this sounds familiar, do not hesitate to reach out! The space I provide is judgment free and open to anyone. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations and try to make my practice as accessible to everyone as possible. If you believe you have a barrier that may keep you from getting help, we can discuss that! I hope to hear from you.

As a compassionate therapist with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from LIU Post, I provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. Fluent in English and Spanish, I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, ensuring they feel seen and understood. With a background in athletics, I understand the mental and emotional challenges of performance pressure, teamwork, and personal setbacks. I blend evidence-based techniques like CBT with a down-to-earth, nonjudgmental approach, helping clients gain clarity, confidence, and the tools to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy with me is a balance of depth and lightness—you’ll feel comfortable addressing difficult topics while also having space to laugh. I believe in a collaborative process, empowering clients to embrace their authentic selves and make meaningful changes.

With 15 years’ experience as a bilingual Psychotherapist working with very diverse populations from adults to adolescents who experience depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD I learned that not everyone feels comfortable going to speak to a therapist in a traditional setting like an office. This is why I offer “Walk Talk Therapy” and mobile therapy. I want to eliminate as many barriers as possible for you to get the help you need. Just as we are all encouraged to exercise for our physical health, I believe everyone should connect with a professional therapist to strengthen one’s emotional health.

Hi there! I’m Muskan, a therapist-in-training passionate about supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I know that transitions throughout adulthood and seeking change or understanding within oneself can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to be a supportive, nonjudgmental resource as you navigate your mental health journey. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, or the stress of figuring out who you are, I’m here to listen and help you work through it all. I believe in the power of therapy to help you gain clarity, develop coping skills, and build confidence as you face life’s ups and downs. I use a mix of approaches, based on a foundation of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, to help you find what works best for you. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself better, feel more in control, and develop healthier ways to manage stress and relationships. I am in my last year of my MSW program at East Texas A&M University, where my focus is mental health service provision to individuals and families.

Whenever you're ready, I am here to listen, support, and help you take steps towards the life you want to create.

College is an exciting but challenging time, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the pressures of academics, social life, and planning for the future.

If you are human, learning and living in today's complicated environment, you have probably experienced anxiety, stress and sadness. Therapy is like personal training or tutoring for feelings; it's curated one on one support to help you reach your emotional wellness goals. While totally normal, emotions can be difficult to navigate and result in suffering, numbing out with substances, acting against values, development of physical pain/illness and/or avoidance of situations and people. When emotions start to interfere with life, therapy can help. Inflow Wellness is a psychotherapy and coaching practice dedicated to helping people manage stress, re-establish life balance, and feel better through life's challenges; simply put- to ride waves of emotion and become more aligned in mind, body and heart.

My practice offers psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy to help patients move beyond roadblocks toward personal growth. We see patients across the lifespan and have been privileged to help people work through some of the most personal struggles in their lives. Together, we can address problematic behaviors (e.g., insomnia, anger, procrastination), troubling emotions (e.g., depression, anxiety, anger, fear), maladaptive thought patterns (e.g., rumination, worry, self-criticism), and relationship issues (e.g., work, family, dating). Taking the first step toward approaching your challenges can be scary. Finding a therapist you trust and with whom you feel comfortable is one of the most important factors in helping you to move forward. ​My practice also offers comprehensive psychological assessment services for children, adolescents, and adults. We use evidence-based assessment tools and methods grounded in research to conduct psychodiagnostic, psychoeducational, and fitness for duty/disability evaluations. The results of these evaluations can be used to aid in diagnosis and treatment, facilitate the provision of special education services, support applications for accommodations at school or work, or provide evidence of fitness for employment. ​We offer specialized consultation services, as well.

I help young adults with anxiety and depression work towards managing their stress, finding their purpose and living their best life. In addition to counseling, I am an Art Therapist and can utilize creative means for self-expression, coping and self-exploration.

My experience as a therapist includes working at the NYU Counseling Services for many years. I have a deep understanding of the challenges both undergraduate and graduate students face with the changes, separations and transitions involved in becoming independent adults. It is a time filled with excitement as well as stress and worries about the future. The internal and external pressures, expectations from family and demands of the academic world can feel overwhelming at times. For graduate and doctoral students, there are the stressors of completing programs, dissertations and the challenges of seeking employment. Students may also be struggling with feeling alone, isolated, anxious, depressed, dealing with body image self-esteem and sexuality issues as well as social pressures around alcohol and other substances. Therapy can help in navigating these challenges, offer insight and reduce stress. I am a compassionate, extensively trained and interactive therapist. Together, we can work to develop strategies, address negative patterns of thought and behaviors, manage stress and help you deal with relationships more effectively. I am also trained and certified in clinical hypnosis which can be very useful in managing the physical and psychological symptoms of stress and anxiety including phobias, GI issues such as IBS as well as reducing symptoms of depression while increasing self-confidence and success.

I provide psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis for adult individuals of all ages, identities, and backgrounds. I use several therapeutic techniques and an integrative approach that is tailored to suit the needs of each individual patient. I believe in the transformative powers of honesty, authenticity and unconditional positive regard. Therapy is ultimately about meaning making. I listen closely to my patients without judgment and without jumping to conclusions. My goal is to understand you on your own terms—free of any rigid diagnoses or other labels. I believe that the heart of this work resides in the therapeutic relationship itself, and to this end, I seek to build bridges of clarity and comfort between us. Our work together will consist of attempting to understand you in a holistic, depth-oriented manner. We will consider how your past might be effecting your present—have you developed patterns in your life that are inhibiting and no longer serve you well? I understand that some people seek out therapy to address a discrete, well-defined issue, while others come out of a more abstract, gnawing sense that something in their life needs to change.

I am a New York State Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, New Mexico State Licensed Professional Art Therapist, and Nationally Board Certified Art Therapist, who offers talk therapy and art psychotherapy for adults seeking insight, personal growth and change--particularly after major life transition, grief, loss or trauma. These experiences may pertain to starting school, academic stressors, medical illness, injury, disability, relationships, loss of loved ones, job loss or instability, relocation, and certainly much more. In our sessions together we can explore issues that come up around the extreme shifts in how you know how to be in the world, your self expectations and sense of identity, feelings of confusion, and accompanying feelings of distress. We will gently address your stressors and any feelings of misunderstanding, alienation or isolation in order to ultimately foster integration, personal advocacy, individuation, and renewed inspiration for your next path forward. I will encourage you to access creative imagination through a holistic, psychodynamic, relational, transpersonal, social action, and anti-oppressive lens. This means that we will engage in deep processing discussion--alongside art, creative expression, guided visualization, mindfulness and some somatic therapy, including the option of Reiki--to help us learn more about your needs, barriers, and goals in the present and how to pivot with insight from the past. We will particularly look at the intersection of your individual mindset, conscious awareness, unconscious impulses, and psyche with the events and lived experiences you have been met with in the groups you have belonged to and the communities around you. We will also consider how each of us impacts those individuals and communities around us, and acknowledge how as we make positive change, those reverberations can aid our community in greater compassion, growth, and improvement for many others in big and small ways. You deserve to recognize, explore, nurture, and be reminded of your natural strength, resiliency, and capacity for insight, growth, and joy! While therapy may challenge you to make sense in new ways of past and current conflict, crisis, or loss, our work together will seek access to a state of calm within, and the wisdom which may be created from each and any situation: all with motivation, inspiration, acceptance, choice, and hope. Together--let's make change, and find comfort during change.

Are you the go-to person at school, at home, and with friends? You might even feel resentful sometimes - you do so much for others, but you're not getting that same care back from them. And that only makes you feel "selfish" and more guilty! Helping people break free from overworking & resentment is my passion. Many of my clients are people who have partners, friends, or family members living with alcoholism/substance use disorders, mental health concerns, and chronic health issues. You don't have to handle this alone, and you can feel more empowered, connected, and at peace in your life. I offer both psychotherapy and career coaching for my clients. We have room to explore how your past experiences have shaped you, examine the systemic barriers you are facing, build on your strengths and skills, and focus on specific action steps you can take to make changes in your life now. My style is warm, interactive, and practical, focused on helping you gain self-compassion & confidence. If you'd like to talk more, please email me to schedule a free phone consultation. I'd love to hear from you!

Hi! My name is Sydney Huppert (she/her), and I am a New York State licensed clinical mental health counselor based in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic disorder, life transitions, burn out, and relationship challenges. I also provide neurodivergent affirming care to support the unique challenges faced by Autistic and ADHD clients. My approach to therapy is holistic and rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Research consistently shows that the best predictor in successful therapy is the strength of the relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate space where clients feel seen and understood. I draw from a range of evidence-based and client-centered modalities. I work with each client to identify their unique needs and goals to grow in the ways you need.

We all experience some distress or discomfort that can prevent us from feeling content and enjoying all that life has to offer. We're often stuck in patterned behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and relationships that only increases our distress and prevents us from being able to move forward. I work collaboratively with people to better understand the patterns of behaviors, thoughts, or feelings that contribute to our distress and develop concrete skills to feel content and enjoy life. I provide person-centered and strength-based therapy tailored to the needs of the individual. I specialize in CBT, ACT, interpersonal therapy, trauma informed methods, and motivational interviewing. I work well with people experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling with transitions in life, or have experienced trauma. I create a nurturing and supportive environment for you to express yourself to be able to create a balanced and fulfilling life. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change. Saturday appointments available.
