Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I want to be your partner in holistic Wellness. When we break a bone or become sick, we seek medical treatment. That the same care and attention should be given to our mental health. I believe that therapy is not just about addressing mental health issues—it's about nurturing the whole self, mind, body, and spirit. Therapy also looks different for everyone because our lives are shaped by our experiences, emotions, and somatic responses to everyday life. As your therapist, I will guide you with authenticity and warmth, helping you navigate your unique therapeutic journey.

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with over fifteen years of experience helping individuals and families overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals. My mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing the skills they need to thrive. If you are having difficulty coping with life events, relationship problems, persistent negative thoughts, depression or anxiety, I believe I can help you.

Navigating life's struggles can be challenging when you are in college facing so many different transitions and having so many new experiences. I see counseling as an opportunity to discover more about yourself and how to live a life that feels meaningful for you. Some of my specialties include work around anxiety, grief, trauma and addiction. I focus on your current challenges and finding ways to overcome them at your pace while in a safe environment. I have worked with people of all ages both individually and as a group facilitator.

It is a courageous act, reaching out to a stranger for help. This courage that brought you to this webpage is real and will take you to the next step of healing. Whether you are looking for answers for yourself or for someone you love, you are making the right decision by reaching out. Through a unique blend of Psychotherapy, Integrative Hypnotherapy, Bazi Analysis, Qi Gong, Mindfulness, I help move my clients to a better understanding of themselves, their relationships and the world in which they live, love and play. Thank you for stopping by today and I hope I hear from you soon!

Welcome—I’m Dr. Holly Silva, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through stress, transitions, and personal challenges. I work with college students and adults who seek practical tools, deeper insight, and lasting change. A significant part of my private practice involves treating employees at numerous Fortune 500 companies and individuals in high-pressure university settings, helping them manage high expectations and stress effectively. *Choosing the right therapist is essential for effective treatment. Training and experience are essential but the therapeutic connection is equally important. One of the best ways to determine if I may be the right fit for you is to read directly from those I’ve worked with. Testimonials available @ https://www.healthgrades.com/providers/holly-silva-xyldnwq Considering the importance of find the right therapist—someone you connect with and who will be available when challenges arise—it’s worth choosing a clinician you can work with not only now, but in the years ahead. This continuity allows you to avoid having to start over or retell your story each time new issues emerge. *Contact me for a complimentary 15-minute consultation @ 860-222-4211. ________________________________________ TRADITIONAL & NON-TRADITIONAL APPROACHES I offer traditional and non-traditional therapeutic approaches, tailored to how each individual processes & heals best.

That question led me into forensic psychology, where I spent 10 years treating sexual offenders, individuals widely despised by society. Over time, I realized that preventing future harm required helping offenders understand the origins of their actions. Few psychologists—especially survivors who fully grasp the impact—choose this path. But I knew that without effective treatment, the cycle continues. My mission became clear: NO MORE VICTIMS. ______ Holly A. Silva, Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist CT | NY | VA 📞 860-222-4211 📧 drhollysilva@gmail.com

I have been in private practice for over thirty years in the same location. Over the years I have worked extensively with adolescents and young adults transitioning from high school to college. The services I have provided included both psychotherapy and evaluation services (i.e. ADHD, learning disabilities). I frequently provide ongoing support for clients who began with me in high school and successfully entered into college, but who want or need help addressing the unique challenges that college presents, and moving into post-college life.

I have been repeatedly impressed and moved by the process and experience that is psychotherapy. With each new person that I meet, I endeavor to foster a relationship through which healing, self-awareness, and personal growth can take place. I aim to help people identify their own emotional truths and live a more fulfilling life. If you are unhappy with the direction your life is going, dissatisfied with the quality of your relationships, or experiencing distressing symptoms that make it difficult to get through your days, please call for an initial consultation.

My work in the field of counseling began in 1992 and I have been a clinician in practice for over 25 years. I specialize in helping clients work through trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and supporting them on their journey to improved balance in life. My therapeutic approach is person centered. I work closely with clients to help them connect with their values, gain personal insight, understanding and self-compassion. With a trauma-informed mindset, I strive to create a safe and therapeutic environment. This entails a blend of treatment interventions designed to best match individual needs. I draw inspiration from the work of colleagues like: Brene Brown, Bessel Van der Kolk, Gabor Mate, Alfred Adler, Carl Rogers, and Carl Jung. These individuals are leaders in the field of counseling and therapy. They are the inspiration that has helped build my foundation for an enduring and balanced practice. My counseling background includes work with adults, college students, children and families, couples, Military Personnel, Veterans, and their families, as well as disabled adults. In my current work, I focus on helping individuals rebuild a foundation from which to grow from. Because I am a firm believer in the power of yoga, self-reflection, and meditation; when appropriate, I weave Eastern Philosophies into treatment. For example, the body holds trauma in seven main body parts (pelvis, diaphragm, throat, jaw, hamstrings, shoulders, and neck). With the application of some yoga, meditation, and mindful attention, we can help the body release underlying trapped feelings so that healing can begin.

I’m not a “nod quietly and ask how that makes you feel” kind of therapist. I’m here to be present, ask meaningful questions, and help you sort through what’s keeping you stuck. My clients describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to make therapy a place where you feel safe showing up exactly as you are, messiness and all.

Are you feeling stuck while life is changing around you? Is your head clouded with worry? Are you looking to reconnect with yourself, possibly even to find joy? Together we can we can navigate through these areas of life. If you are someone who has difficulty expressing themselves, art therapy, with talk therapy, can be helpful where words are not enough. Art making can open the door to make meaning out of circumstances that may not make sense. I focus on navigating present challenges, utilizing client’s strengths, needs, and values.
