Therapists for college students near New York University

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist in Manhattan. I am also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine. I work with patients experiencing a wide array of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and difficulties with attention or mood. I take a warm, integrative approach, helping patients better understand their symptoms while building strategies for lasting improvement. I completed my adult psychiatry training at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medicine, where I was selected to serve as chief resident. I welcome new patients into my practice for consultations, psychotherapy, diagnostic evaluations, and medication management.

Are you a college student experiencing overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck, or struggling with anxiety or depression? Navigating these challenges isn't easy and I am here to support you through these difficult moments. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety and mood disorders across the lifespan. My mission is to provide evidence-based care to fit each client's unique needs, individuality, culture, and strengths. My style is warm and collaborative, and I work to meet clients where they are with unconditional positive regard. My clinical work is driven by a deep respect and appreciation for each client and their goals. Treatment is tailored to each individual. We will work together to break patterns that are no longer working and explore new approaches that align with your vision of growth.

With nine years of experience as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) specializing in psychiatry and family health, I offer comprehensive and attentive care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating some of life's most challenging transitions. My areas of focus include ADHD, anxiety, depression and mood disorders, OCD, stress, and trauma and PTSD. No matter what you’re facing, I take a holistic approach to care, treating the whole person to address symptoms. My goal is to be the kind of provider who encourages mindfulness, coping skills, and stress management for you to be your optimal self. What grounds my work is a belief that good psychiatric care starts by knowing who a person is and what drives their individual goals. In practice, sessions are structured and purposeful while still leaving room for exploration. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused approaches, we'll explore your past and inner experiences while working toward the clarity that makes change possible. When medication is part of your care, I bring the same attention to detail to prescribing and management as I do to every other aspect of our work together. You can always expect an environment that feels serene and focused, a space where you're heard, your goals are centered, and the plan we build together reflects both your needs and your strengths. My path to becoming a PMHNP began with an innate ability to see patients holistically, as full human beings whose mental health is inseparable from every other part of their lives. This became a calling for me, fueled by the desire to bridge mental health care gaps and build meaningful long-term patient relationships. That same commitment comes with me into every appointment, allowing me to be a supportive psychiatric clinician who sees you fully and invests in your care. Exploring somewhere new, getting absorbed in a good book, and working through a strength training session are my favorite free-time activities, helping me find balance and energy.

Therapy can offer a path to personal freedom. I want to know who you are, how you are, and how you want to be. My basic training is psychoanalytic, but an overall integrative approach fosters understanding of how life has shaped you, and how it plays out in current living situations, and especially how one's strengths can be brought to good use. I know that a person can change, evolve, develop meaningful relationships, first and foremost with themselves. I work collaboratively with individuals and couples to find the way to emotional liberation - always a deeply personal course. I welcome clients to my home-office in New York (Upper West Side) or via video conference.

Psychotherapy lays the emotional groundwork that leads to a more happy and satisfying life. Many people think of psychotherapy, especially some kinds of traditional psychotherapy, as one-sided: the person in therapy talks and the therapist listens. But effective psychotherapy – therapy that heals – works because of the unique relationship that develops between the therapist and the person in therapy. I provide an environment that, because it is safe and non-judgmental, allows the person in therapy to open up in new and often unexpected ways and to experience and express his or her deepest thoughts and feelings. I use more than one therapeutic discipline, but my approach is ultimately tailored to the needs of the person I am working with. I help people become more emotionally self-aware so that they can experience greater self-esteem and satisfaction in life, better deal with depression, and cope with the anxiety that so often interferes with their sense of well-being. In addition to psychotherapy, I am a certified hypnotherapist and offer hypnotherapy to the people I work with. I am also available for hypnotherapy referrals as an adjunct from other clinicians. For safety concerns I am currently working online and by phone.

Two years into my work as a licensed master social worker, I've learned that healing rarely happens in isolation; it happens in relationship. That's the lens I bring to helping adults work through anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, attachment, and trauma. Relationships and trauma are where I focus most closely, alongside support for OCD and sex therapy for patients of all types and backgrounds. What guides me isn't a technique so much as a set of commitments: honesty, open communication, trust building, and empathy. Those commitments are what make our work together collaborative, safe, and supportive – not just words I use to describe therapy, but the actual conditions I try to create in the room. I look forward to empathizing with you, uplifting you, and standing alongside you as we do this work together. At the heart of my work is the simple belief that real change happens through real connection. My approach is honest, warm, and built on that connection first. I tailor the way I work to each person in front of me, because no two paths to healing look the same. Expect a space that's nonjudgmental, empathetic, and truly collaborative, where you're never just a set of symptoms to manage. I lean on psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches to help you build both confidence and insight, but how we get there depends on what you need. You'll also find that I don't take myself too seriously, even when the work is hard – a little humor tends to open doors that pure seriousness can't. Directness, empathy, and compassion are non-negotiables for me, and so is making sure you walk away from our sessions feeling seen, safe, and genuinely supported. My path to becoming a therapist began through my own experience in therapy while navigating personal challenges. Witnessing the impact of a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship inspired me to help others find that same sense of understanding and hope. As the descendant of Holocaust survivors, I also recognize the lasting effects of intergenerational trauma and the resilience that can emerge through healing. My Jewish values, particularly the concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world), continue to guide my work and commitment to serving others. These experiences deepened my dedication to providing warm, trauma-informed, and evidence-based care. They are why I strive to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where patients feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. I love performing comedy, working on pottery, traveling, biking, reading, swimming, and playing pickleball.

Health and wellness are not linear and will only evolve within a dynamic and complex interplay of the many systems in our lives. I firmly believe that promoting mental health is a part of this interplay. I can help you with exploring those systems relevant to your mental health and developing strategies and routines to promote a robust everyday experience. I call this promoting your mental “Wellth”; because we can consider ourselves wealthy when our whole being is supported and living in abundance, not just our financials. My hope for the clients that I work with is that you will find the experience of working on your presenting needs and concerns to be a robust challenge. One that brings you closer to being the person you know you can be and closer to maintaining the lifestyle and relationships that are ideal for you.

You may be dealing with a major life transition, struggling with expectations at school or work, feeling disconnected from yourself, or finding that anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing is getting in the way of the life and relationships you want. You may also be working to better understand your identity, communicate your needs, set boundaries, or manage difficult emotions. That's where I can help. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) specializing in anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions, working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next as they navigate life's challenges in pursuit of greater confidence, connection, and well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive, LGBTQ+-affirming space where you can slow down and develop tools to move forward. I believe in the dignity, worth, and inherent strengths of every person. That meaningful change happens through trust, collaboration, and connection, so I strive to be a supportive partner who respects your autonomy and meets you where you are. In our work together, I hope to help you better understand yourself, build confidence in your own voice, and feel empowered to advocate for your needs. I value the opportunity to witness patients grow, heal, and recognize their own capacity for change, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and that you are the expert on your own life. That belief shapes an approach that is curious and compassionate, with space for us to explore your experiences, patterns, and goals together. Because I value self-determination, therapy is shaped around what feels most meaningful and helpful to you, which means creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respected. I also recognize that taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, and believe simply showing up is meaningful. From there, my role is to guide you as you navigate challenges, and work toward the changes you want to make. In doing so, you'll find a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you can show up as you are. I draw from integrated, evidence-based practices adapted to your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences, while valuing open conversation and curiosity, following your lead, and making space for whatever feels most important to you. Therapy doesn't have to feel overly formal, and I bring my authentic self, and even a little humor into our work together when it feels appropriate. Wherever you are in your journey, I'll help you find an approach that feels helpful and genuine. My path to becoming a therapist began with a love of learning about human development and a desire to support others. I initially planned to become a teacher, gaining experience working in special education and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. Those experiences sparked a deeper interest in understanding the many factors that shape a person's well-being, not just what happens within us, but also our relationships, environments, communities, and access to support. This ultimately led me to social work, where I found a field that allowed me to look at the whole person. I bring that perspective, along with curiosity and genuine compassion, into each session, because I believe everyone deserves to feel understood, supported, and empowered in their own journey. I enjoy creative hobbies like scrapbooking and crafting, listening to music, and reading. Exploring New York City is another favorite, whether I'm finding new cafés, traveling, or taking walks in the park. I am happiest spending time with friends, enjoying a sweet treat, watching a good movie or show, or relaxing at home with my cat.

College, graduate school, and early adulthood can be exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, loneliness, relationship challenges, questions about your identity, or the pressure to keep up academically while managing everything else in your life. For some students, adjusting to life away from home, navigating independence, or recovering from difficult experiences such as trauma, sexual assault, or substance use concerns can make this time especially challenging. At Modern Talk, we specialize in working with college students, graduate students, and emerging adults. Our clinicians understand the unique demands of this stage of life and have extensive experience helping students navigate both everyday stressors and more complex emotional challenges. Several members of our team have worked within university counseling settings, including New York University's Wellness Exchange, supporting students through academic, social, and personal transitions. Whether you're looking for support during a difficult period, trying to better understand yourself, or hoping to build healthier coping skills and relationships, we're here to help. We provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, gain insight, and develop tools to navigate challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Are you a student who is struggling with many of the adjustments that come with attending college? Maybe you are homesick, lonely, attempting to make new friends, or have symptoms of anxiety. Many students coming into college feel the need to get all A's or procrastinate and have time management issues. You might have relationship difficulties, or family expectations that are too high to meet or unreasonable. Feeling sad, depressed, and overwhelmed can be isolating. I hope to be able to create a therapeutic relationship with you to help manage all of these normal feelings that come with entering a new experience in your life and becoming an adult.

Welcome! I'm Casey Nordberg, a Limited Permit Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP) in Brooklyn. I work with individuals of all ages, specializing in trauma, attachment and relationship issues, and life transitions. With a background working with families in child welfare and private practice, I bring a nuanced perspective to the therapeutic space, creating a safe environment for a diverse population of patients to explore the experiences that have shaped who they are today. This person-centered, compassion-driven lens supports those navigating emotional struggles, relationship challenges, and feelings of stagnation. In a fast-moving city that often rewards us for pushing forward at the expense of our well-being, taking the step to seek support shows real bravery, and I don't take that courage and trust lightly. I believe everyone has lived experience worth exploring with care, and I'm honored to help you find insight into your history and clarity on the steps ahead as I get to know you and we start this journey together. I am dedicated to meeting you where you are, centering your experiences as we work together to understand and move through what's difficult. Because life's ruptures most often occur in the context of relationships, I believe that building a healing, reparative relationship is one of the most important parts of therapy. That’s why I lead with empathy and warmth, taking a holistic, culturally humble approach, integrating relational and psychodynamic work with evidence-based strategies like motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques, so that treatment can be tailored to what actually fits your life. In our work together, we'll collaborate to understand and gently challenge the thought patterns and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck, while honoring the role these strategies have played in helping you survive difficult experiences in the past. From there, we'll find the tools and coping skills that feel right for you, working toward clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful, sustainable change. My path to becoming a therapist began with stressful experiences within my own family growing up: illness and loss, family members' mental illness and substance misuse, and the complex relational dynamics that come with intergenerational trauma and colliding cultural norms. This experience shaped my interest in child and family mental health, and my drive to walk alongside people of all ages as they make sense of what they've been through. Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time in nature, exploring parks around the city on walks, going on runs, and picnics. Coming from a family of artists and creatives, I enjoy dancing to live music, visiting art museums, and painting with watercolors. On lower-key days, I adore curling up with a cup of tea, a good book, and my two cats.

This led me to becoming a PMHNP and my role at SOL Mental Health, where I bring clinical experience, insight, and empathy to each session. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, exploring new neighborhoods, spending time with loved ones, and relishing good food.

I am Dr. Stephanie Miodus, a licensed psychologist dedicated to providing comprehensive assessments for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and developmental challenges.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with young adults experiencing life changes with attending college or graduating college and need guidance of what will be their next steps in life after college. Although these can be milestones for young adults, it can also bring questions and several emotions that can affect their daily life. Some people may experience anxiety and depression while in college as they adjust to life on campus and being away from their friends and families.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and attachment issues for people of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on women and LGBTQ+ individuals. I’m here to help you navigate identity, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, uncertainty, and self-doubt while reconnecting with your strengths and creating meaningful change. My hope is to be a steady, affirming presence who will support and challenge you with compassion as you work toward your goals, because I believe meaningful change begins in the safety of a trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we can deepen your understanding of yourself, strengthen your relationships, and move through life with greater confidence and ease. Psychodynamic work and Mindfulness ground my approach, which is relational, curious, and culturally attuned. I'm passionate about exploring how our experiences shape who we are, and I blend these approaches with evidence-based interventions to support you in creating lasting, meaningful change through insight, connection, self-compassion, and action. In our sessions, you'll find an affirming and compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome. My style is warm, collaborative, and gently challenging, and I tailor our work to your unique experiences, values, and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began long before graduate school. As a child, I often found myself at the center of playground drama, wondering, "How did I get here?" and "Why is everyone acting the way they are?" That early curiosity about people, relationships, and the stories behind our behaviors stayed with me throughout my life, growing into a deep commitment to providing empathetic, affirming, and culturally responsive care. Now, I value bringing warmth, curiosity, and authenticity to each session, creating a space where patients can better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape their lives. I have loads of hobbies! I love everything from collaging and oil painting to singing at karaoke and running.

I am a licensed psychoanalyst in NYC. Prior, I practiced psychology in Europe, working with local and expatriate communities in Budapest. Over the years I have specialized in marriage and couples counseling, guided imagery (a form of hypnotic therapy) and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I currently work with individuals and couples in English and Hungarian.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with more than 16 years of healthcare experience, my practice is rooted in patient-centered, holistic, trauma-informed care for people at every stage of life. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, or mood disorders; facing a major life transition; working through grief or trauma; or exploring questions of identity and relationships, including within the LGBTQ+ community, you'll find a space here that is welcoming, stigma free, and free of judgment. Building genuine rapport is at the heart of everything I do. When you walk through the door, my hope is that you feel safe enough to share your story. Consider me a true collaborator in your care. Together, we'll work toward self-discovery and the kind of mental health that feels meaningful to you. No two people are alike, which is why my approach is individualized, collaborative, and holistic. Showing up for you exactly where you are, without preconceptions or pressure, is something I hold as a core commitment. Partnering with you to define your goals and build a path toward them is what I find most fulfilling about this work. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, calm, and nonjudgmental environment where your comfort comes first. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside humanistic and integrative methods, I bring together techniques from multiple approaches to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique personality and needs. The result is care that feels less like a formula and more like a conversation. Long before I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner, people in my life would come to me when they needed someone to listen. Friends, family members, and loved ones often said that talking with me helped them through difficult moments. That feedback stayed with me and quietly shaped the direction my career would take. As my healthcare career evolved, so did my appreciation for the depth of emotional support that patients need alongside medical care. Walking alongside people through medical crises, serious illness, and grief deepened my commitment to empathetic, whole-person care and led me to the work I do today. Warmth and a nurturing presence are things I bring to every appointment. When I'm not in the office, you'll often find me outside, walking through nature or settling into a meditation or yoga practice. Creativity is a big part of how I recharge too. Drawing, painting, writing poetry, and music all play a role in my life outside of work. As an amateur musician, I enjoy singing, learning keyboard, and playing flute, less for performance and more for the joy and relaxation it brings.

As a mental health counselor with 4 years of experience, I help college-aged and older adults navigate feelings of overwhelm, disconnectedness, and confusion in their lives, supporting them through life transitions, family stress, trauma, academic and career pressures, identity exploration, daily stressors, and interpersonal relationship issues. My style is eclectic and guiding, as I believe in authenticity that allows me to be direct, honest, and inviting. I look forward to helping empower you to achieve your goals in our work together. *Appointments are available for patients who can communicate in both English and Russian and/or who culturally would feel more comfortable with someone who is Russian speaking. I'm passionate about how therapy can be a transformative process that empowers you to better understand yourself and live with greater clarity, balance, and fulfillment. My approach is humanistic and holistic, a style that ensures a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Treatment includes integrative psychodynamic therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and relational evidence-based interventions to help you process and explore beliefs about the world and yourself. My path to becoming a therapist started at St. Francis's College Counseling Center, where I worked as a student counselor. This experience taught me the value of providing empathetic and strength-based care for emerging and older adults alike. Now, I remain committed to bringing a grounding and calming presence to each session, along with a deep respect for every person’s unique lived experience. In my free time I often enjoy calming activities that keep me grounded. These include going for long walks, reading, thrifting, visiting museums, and junk journaling.

Adolescence and adulthood can be exciting and overwhelming. Navigating academic pressures, identity exploration, relationship challenges, or major life transitions can be daunting to tackle on your own. I specialize in supporting adolescents, young adults, and their families as they face anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, and the stress of achievement and belonging. My experience working as an assistant dean of admission at Princeton University, coupled with my counseling experience at Princeton’s counseling and psychological center, and working in an independent K-12 school, has informed my deep understanding of the pressures students and families face in academic, social, and developmental spaces. In therapy, we’ll explore moments of vulnerability and discomfort that can contribute to self-doubt and isolation. I work collaboratively with individuals and families to uncover ways to strengthen communication and bring clarity to relational dynamics. My goal is to create an affirming space rooted in empathy and cultural humility, where you develop tools towards empowerment and rediscover your authentic self. I take an integrative and trauma-informed approach, grounded in person-centered, culturally responsive, and strength-based care. I draw from CBT with a multicultural and feminist lens, working with individuals from diverse backgrounds who may be navigating their gender and sexuality, cultural, and intersectional identities. Whether you're exploring therapy for the first time or continuing your journey, I am committed to making mental health care approachable and welcoming for everyone.
