Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Has your life turned upside down with unexpected changes, trauma, depression, grief, or increased anxiety? Are you feeling unheard by family, coworkers, or friends? Do you struggle with creating boundaries or breaking unhealthy relationship patterns? I believe you should not face these life changes alone. Let me walk beside you in your journey and unpack these feelings. Self-love and self-care are real, and if no one has told you it's okay to put yourself first! I am Marita Kershaw, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania. I offer individual, family, and couples telehealth therapy sessions. Currently, I solely offer virtual appointments. As a therapist, I believe in building individuals gradually by offering a safe space as they enter a judgment-free zone. I want to know more about you, and I also want you to know me better. If I seem like a good match, I encourage you to believe that one step further and start your therapy with me.

If you need someone to help you with your journey, I encourage you to reach out. It would be my pleasure to work with you.
Never thought you'd find yourself looking for a therapist, or had a disappointing therapy experience before? Much of the success of treatment depends on finding someone whom you can trust, who is as invested in seeing you make progress as you are. I have a solid track record working with children, adolescents, adults and families to create change in their lives...even when situations feel hopeless. I use an integrative approach that draws from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and systems modalities. I am a trained drama therapist and play therapist, and use these skills when they help to support the treatment process. I offer individual, group, and family therapy. I am adjunct faculty at NYU and Lesley University, former supervisor at a residential treatment center, and the author of numerous articles and four books on trauma, child/adolescent treatment, and working with boys. Call me to set up a consultation or visit my website to find out more.
I'm Steven Mollura, the therapist who brings enlightenment by exploring the darkness. Together we face what you fear most, reclaim wholeness, and step fully into truth. Direct, no-nonsense mental health service that helps you break free from limiting beliefs and step into the life you deserve. I work with emotionally aware adults who want deep, accelerated change, (not just coping skills), who are willing to be honest, do homework, and take accountability for their lives. Ideal for clients who need discreet, judgment-free, practical work. This isn’t about managing symptoms. It’s about ending the war inside you. For those who want peace within and without. If you are looking for someone to hold your hand while you let the world beat you to death, look elsewhere. I'm not for you. If you're ready to walk into hell, I'm ready to walk right next to you. The first step is yours. Are you coming?
College can be exciting and full of possibility, but it can also feel heavy. You might be juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, or questions about who you are and who you want to be.

Whatever you’re facing, you deserve a place where you don’t have to hold it all together. That’s where I come in. I offer a space where you can slow down, be honest, and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. We’ll work together to make sense of your stress, your relationships, and the parts of your story that feel confusing or overwhelming. My goal is to help you build clarity, confidence, and coping skills that actually fit your life. If you’re curious about whether we’re a good match, you’re welcome to schedule a 15-minute consultation so we can figure it out together.

Welcome! I am an LCSW with 29+ years experience specializing in trauma. I have been in private practice for 21 years and I worked in residential treatment and inpatient psychiatric hospitals with adolescents prior to this. I am licensed in CO, WA, OR and NY.
Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards meeting with a therapist! You feel that that you don't have a good sense of who you are. You behave in different ways around your friends, family members, and colleagues. It's hard for you to keep your emotions in check and at times you feel your emotions are out of control. As a result, you react in ways that make things more challenging for yourself and others. Your relationships often have conflict, friends don't seem to stick around, and you can't figure out why. You wonder if you're doing something wrong and if there is something you can do differently. You question why things at home, with work/school, or with relationships can't be easier. When you try to handle these problems, it seems like things only get better for a little while, or they just get worse. I help clients figure out what truly matters most to them in life; assist clients in learning how to connect with and live in the present moment; support clients in finding ways to handle intense emotions, respond in ways that don't erupt their relationships, and to weather through the tough times.

Sometimes we all need a little help. No one has life all figured out. We are all a work in progress. That is especially true of young adults transitioning from high school into college, or from college into the working world. Relationships with parents are changing, romantic relationships may begin or end, friendships change, and we may grow apart from people who we thought we'd be friends with forever. These are challenging times to be alive, and sometimes it's helpful to talk about what you're going through with an objective third party, a therapist, someone to validate your feelings and give honest feedback in a kind, gentle manner. I help my patients learn healthy coping skills and try different strategies to deal with whatever mental health challenges they are facing. With 18 years experience, I'm sure I can find some strategies that will help you too. Please feel free to reach out when you are ready!
You may find yourself feeling soft spoken, timid, and meek- but secretly waiting to speak- you feel like you are tirelessly trying to keep pace in a world that does not align with your rhythm. If feelings of anxiety are consuming or camouflaging themselves as reoccurring & normal, I am an expert in supporting you in breaking out of your shell, and dismantling old narratives about anxiety, and ADHD. I support clients in exploring their pasts to inform their future, and take control of their narrative. I believe building a healthy connection with yourself is the springboard to living a more fulfilling life and can enhance your ability to form deeper relationships, and show up for yourselves and others in a more grounded way. I do not practice with a one-size fits all approach, and empower clients to take the lead in their experience. I service NY & CT residents.

Hello! I’m Kristin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience in providing compassionate, client-centered care. I’m dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges and helping them achieve personal growth and emotional well-being. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I believe that every individual has the strength to overcome challenges, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or seeking ongoing guidance, I’m committed to providing you with the tools and support you need to thrive.
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!
I provide individual therapy, consultations, neuropsychological assessments, and group-based services for children, teens, and adults. Across services, I offer personalized, compassionate care and help individuals and families harness sources of strength and resilience. Throughout this process, clients are better able to handle and cope with difficult circumstances in a busy world. More specifically, I use evidence-based approaches, such as CBT or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help clients address concerns and make changes that improve quality of life across contexts, including relationships with family or friends, school or work experiences, and overall wellbeing. Implicit to my practice is the belief that each one of us possesses the emotional wherewithal and many of the skills needed to navigate life’s journey; sometimes we just need to gain additional perspective and access workable strategies to move forward.
