Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. For me, being a physician is more than a profession—it is a vocation to help indviduals flourish. My practice is devoted to students and young adults seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that extends beyond symptom relief. I provide comprehensive evaluations that consider medical, nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors—including laboratory testing when clinically appropriate—to identify the contributors to emotional and cognitive health. I also specialize in evidence-based de-prescribing for patients who wish to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medications for anxiety, attention difficulties, or substance use disorders. My approach is guided by precision, humility, and restraint: using the least intensive intervention necessary while drawing upon the full breadth of evidence-based medicine. Depending on each patient's needs and goals, I integrate psychotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, exercise, targeted supplementation, and, when appropriate, carefully selected medications into a personalized treatment plan. In addition to my clinical work, I have presented internationally on psychiatric deprescribing and medical ethics. My work has been recognized with awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and other leading professional organizations. I am the Founder & Medical Director of Verigrate Health. I am licensed to serve patients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin.

I work by providing a judgment-free space for my clients and believe that counseling should be tailored to every person’s needs. Every person is different, so it is important to me to hear out clients and help them become the best version of themselves. Because of the wide variety of client needs, I work with all sorts of life's challenges.

My name is Dadiana Lopez. I am a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and CT, and I am here to tell you that you don’t have to suffer through life constantly overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and depressed. I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in a cycle of exhaustion or overwhelm learn to break this cycle, find relief, feel more confident, and finally leave behind people-pleasing behaviors, perfectionism, and dysfunctional family patterns. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD or a constant sense of unworthiness, I can help you too! My approach to therapy is evidence-based, trauma-informed and holistic. I integrate traditional science-backed psychotherapy with somatic modalities, nervous system regulation tools, and mind-body-spirit practices, to uncover and treat the root cause of struggles, not just your symptoms. I want to help you challenge unhelpful beliefs about yourself, build upon your strengths, and work toward healing, authenticity, and the life you want to live. If you're tired of living in survival mode and are ready to heal, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consult with me today! I am in-network with Optum/United Healthcare and Aetna plans. I also work with Mentaya to help my out-of-network clients get partial reimbursement for my services. If you'd like for me to check your out-of-network benefits, schedule a consult today!

College and medical school can be some of the most exciting — and overwhelming — years of your life. I work with college students and medical trainees navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, identity development, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and practical. I help students build emotional regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop resilience without sacrificing their ambition. Whether you’re managing academic pressure, imposter syndrome, family expectations, or simply feeling stuck, therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. I especially enjoy supporting high-achieving students who feel like they “should” be fine but are quietly struggling. You don’t have to do this alone.

We have many years of experience working with young adults, especially those transitioning into college and those getting ready to launch into the real world.

When you have been at a low point for so long, it’s easy to be convinced that’s all there is. Instead of focusing on the negative, I look for strengths that will help you deal with challenges. We will also celebrate small victories. Sessions are full of high energy, enthusiasm, laughter, and positivity to motivate and pump you up. The focus is on what you do right and how you can believe in yourself again to be what you want. My office is a judgment-free zone. I will ask questions, listen intently, provide perspective, and give feedback. All to help you move forward. I understand you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of talking about yourself. It’s not always easy to do. My intention is for you to feel comfortable saying anything that comes to mind. It’s when you let their guard down that you can be your truest self and open to new possibilities. Everything I do is based on evidence about how the mind and body are connected and what you need to do in everyday situations to make them work for them – not against them. You are continuing to grow and adapt to new situations. It’s crucial to apply strategies that work at every stage. You can be assured that methods will be measurable, so you will “see” the progress you make.

I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness. My approach focuses on having fewer negative emotions, and also on more positive emotions. I offer tools that research has demonstrated are very effective for reducing suffering. I also assist you in seeing meaningful, practical change by compassion, warmth, and empathy with a bit of humor. However, there is no cookie-cutter approach. We work together, openly, to customize your treatment directly to your needs and strengths. I frequently work with POCs, high-achieving students and professionals, folks in major transitions, and those coping with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and worrying. I have a particular skill in working with women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals and people new to therapy and welcome your questions!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (in the states of Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio) who has been practicing for over 10 years. I have years of experience working with college students as I am a former College Counseling Center Director and worked in counseling centers as well as have seen college students in my private practice. I have years of experience providing both clinically and culturally competent therapy (meaning I collaborate with students to address topics they want to in therapy using tools/strategies that have been proven helpful and I take into consideration a student's various social identities and how that may impact how they experience the world). I find that I work well with students who are working through life transitions, adjustments, relationship stressors, experiencing anxiety(including those who experience social anxiety) depression, a desire to increase their self-esteem, racial trauma, or are in need increasing their overall coping skills.

I love working with college age adults and have availability at this time for telehealth sessions. If you are interested in learning more about my practice please feel free to check out the link below to view my psychology today profile.

I work from a trauma-informed perspective, and the foundation of my work is grounded in talk therapy, CBT, and ACT. I offer holistic and complementary interventions that will support your overall well-being. Our work can be supported by incorporating somatic practices, when appropriate for you. Our relationship is central to this work and I hold a safe, non-judgmental, and present-moment space for you. I encourage you to let your guard down, and speak from your most authentic self, and I will do the same, so we can truly connect. My main areas of focus are in personal growth and optimal well-being, spirituality in terms of your search to answer those deeper, more meaningful questions in life, and helping you heal from relational wounds such as childhood neglect, psychological abuse, attachment wounds, and relationship conflict. I believe that anxiety, depression, self-criticism, stress, and some physical symptoms are the result of negative relationship experiences. The stories from our past can color our present moment in ways that no longer serve us. In our work together, I will support you as you learn to build trust in yourself, and in others. I know there is a brighter future for you, one that nourishes your soul and where peace comes naturally. I want to help you find it!

Regardless of what you've been through in the past, I believe anyone can benefit from talking to a mental health professional. Collaborating with a counselor can help provide thought provoking insights, allow you to move through problem solving more quickly, and leave you feeling more fulfilled and motivated to reach your desired goals. I offer a non-judgmental standpoint. I feel, it is important to feel heard, validated and supported throughout the counseling process. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression and trauma in any age group. I also have had valuable experience in working with individuals, who have experienced any form of domestic violence. The client and clinician relationship is incredibly important. A good fit should be prioritized, in order to reach a deeper level of meaningful change.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working in a private practice setting. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from the State University of New York at Albany and completed an APA approved internship at the Medical University of South Carolina. My training emphasized a CBT orientation to treating psychological disorders. After completing my education, I was a member of the doctoral faculty in clinical psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University for almost 30 years before electing to go into private practice full time in July 2020. My experience working at a university as both a professor and program director, has helped me understand the difficulties that students face. Moreover, it has given me insider knowledge about how students can most effectively navigate the challenges that college poses and effectively advocate for themselves with their course instructors. Recently, a colleague and I formed a CBT-based private practice focused on adolescents, young adults and adults. My areas of specialization include OCD, panic and other anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, substance abuse, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (e.g. hair pulling). I conduct a comprehensive evaluation and provide all the treatment directly. Treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the client, but it typically involves a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I am committed to providing the best treatment available to my clients, which may involve (at their request) a referral for psychiatric consultation, inclusion of family members, and home visits.

Evolutionary Holistic Healing infuses mind-body practices into the therapeutic process to help clients explore healing beyond traditional psychotherapeutic talk-therapy. Our mission is to emphasize the importance of integrating psychotherapy with movement, music, aromatherapy, artworks, nature, and breath work to establish equilibrium; therein, inviting the body to join the mind in its establishment of therapeutic attunement. We view each person as a whole being made up of many parts working in concert with one another to fully embrace the evolutionary progression of healing. We believe that a person is not defined by their condition; but rather, that individuals can achieve good health by strengthening their emotional, physical, social and mental wellness. We strive to mindfully stand in the entire experience of being human. It is then we can whole-heartedly step into the power of self-awareness, self-empowerment, and self-love.

I specialize in providing compassionate and effective therapy for adolescents and young adults facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning concerns, life transitions, and attachment and relationship issues. With a wealth of experience as a pediatric and adult medical social worker at a leading NYC hospital, I bring expertise in counseling individuals and families dealing with chronic medical conditions, grief, and loss. My unique professional background with individuals across the lifespan has afforded me a practical understanding of psychosocial development and enriched my humanistic approach to care. In my therapy practice, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that addresses the specific needs of each individual, promoting growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or just have the feeling there should be more to life, I can help you explore possibilities for change.

I believe every person grows from the positive and negative relationships they've been in or are currently in. It is my mission to help clients establish resources and build upon strengths to enhance happiness in every relationship.
