Therapists for college students near New York University
Hi! I'm Lynn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with clients from various stages who are facing challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to help them feel empowered to overcome difficult challenges and increase resilience. Clients working with me will feel a supportive, non-judgmental, and compassionate atmosphere.
I am a therapist, addiction counselor, and yoga teacher with 10 years of experience. I specialize in mindfulness-based approaches to therapy. I believe that learning to stay present in the moment helps clients break free from being stuck in the past or overwhelmed by worries about the future. By combining Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients build awareness, self-compassion, and resilience. My goal is to support individuals in making meaningful, lasting changes that enhance their well-being and help them live more fully in alignment with their values. I believe in using the power of the therapeutic relationship to cultivate connection and shift perspective. I work from a holistic and integrative approach to help clients reach their full potential in all areas of life. My experience spans various settings including inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance use treatment programs.
Many of us feel disconnected, carry burdens from past traumas, and struggle to balance caring for ourselves with having a fulfilling life. My approach will help you respond to intense emotions and memories with more curiosity and speak to the parts of you that feel self-critical, alienated, and alone with a more compassionate and nurturing voice. We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity. My focus is offering Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to the LGBT/queer community and ADHD/neurodivergent folks. My special interests are spirituality, social anxiety, non-monogamy, co-dependence, intergenerational trauma, college life, and plant medicine/psychedelic integration. I am Level 2 trained in IFS therapy through the IFS Institute, and can also be found in their practitioner directory. I also offer ADHD evaluations - you can find an inquiry form on my website.
I offer virtual therapy in New York. I utilize a variety of treatment interventions focusing on strength based and trauma informed care to provide therapy to individuals managing anxiety, depression or significant life changes. I demonstrate the ability to engage individuals in the treatment process by offering a safe space to explore needs. I am a compassionate professional and active listener dedicated to working with clients to help resolve mental health issues and thrive on their own terms.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience providing psychotherapy. I came to the field a bit later in life after exploring other pursuits as a young person in New York City, and I love this work. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I love working with young people who are navigating adulthood and experiencing many "firsts". I believe in the importance of the clinical relationship and utilize a relational approach. I will meet you with empathy and curiosity. It’s important to me to help you identify ways to cope, to resolve intense symptoms, and to go beyond the mind by working with the body.
Hey, man. Your friends, family, or your partner aren't supposed to be your therapist. You need an outlet where you can be vulnerable, speak freely, and unburden yourself without any fear of backlash that could damage the relationship. You want a return on investment of the time, money, and energy that you put into therapy because that's what matters most. You need a therapist who gets you because you deserve to build a life worth living. This relationship needs to feel right, and you want a therapist who can join you through the truth, tell you like it is, and help you find the best tools for your toolbox. Usually, clients connect with me because of challenges connected to men's issues, grief & loss, emotion regulation, relationship issues, and life transitions through pregnancy and postpartum.
Being a college student today is HARD. Managing academic stress, navigating relationship dynamics, making big life decisions, coping with financial pressures, and figuring out what comes next is a lot. Maybe you're also feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed. Although it might feel that way, you're not alone. As a therapist, I employ my 13+ years of experience working with diverse groups of adolescents and young adults to make you feel safe, supported, and heard. We'll work together to get to the root of what you're experiencing, so that you can live the fulfilling life you deserve. I provide convenient, flexible telemental health services, which means you can get the support you need while being comfortable in your own space.
You are the expert of your own experience and know best what supports you and what may no longer be serving you. In our work together, I will seek to highlight and validate how the social environment and systems have impacted your relationship with yourself and others, and to use the therapy space as an opportunity to dismantle hierarchies. To do this, I use an integrated, person-centered psychodynamic approach grounded in compassion. This includes using concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatics, mindfulness and analysis. I identify as queer and will bring a queer lens to our work together by asking how you have constructed meaning of your world, by recognizing your strengths and by supporting you in developing new insight. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work, an artist and an educator. I have experience working with people in creative fields, navigating their gender and sexual identities, anxiety, depression, life and career transitions and higher education.
I often work with young people struggling to understand who they are and why they do the things they do. This may be felt as a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction or despair, or a more intense experience of feeling lost and out of control. We work together to identify your concerns in a safe environment that emphasizes giving language to emotional experience, identifying unconscious patterns of behavior, and finding meaning in your life.
College can be an amazing time full of new experiences, but let’s be real—it can also feel stressful and overwhelming. I love working with young adults who are figuring out the ups and downs of campus life. Whether you're dealing with roommate drama, trying to balance work and fun, or adjusting to being more independent, sometimes it helps to talk to someone who gets it and can help you work through the tough stuff. If this sounds like something you’d find helpful, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect and support you through this exciting but challenging time.
As a clinician I provide an open non-judgmental environment where students can express themselves candidly. Whether you are experiencing anxiety due to a lack of work/life balance, from dealing with dysfunctional relationships and/or just an overall internal feeling of discomfort I can help you find get back on track and achieve your optimal level of function. Client's often come to therapy with an obstacle that is holding them back such as some type of past trauma, volatile relationship and/or financial struggles that are keeping them from reaching their goals. Please contact me for support and let's develop an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
Hello my name is Gina. My experience is extensive in working with those experiencing depression, anxiety, postpartum, relational issues, stress & anger management, grief & loss, ADD, conflict with life direction & transitions. My approach is warm, empathetic and supportive. I am interactive and will give feedback, ask questions and also challenge you at times in areas to gain greater insight and growth. Asking for help can feel difficult, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to do it alone! I am here to help you navigate these areas, grow and heal. I attended NYU for my masters & EU for my bachelors. My training is in psychodynamic theory and my style reflects this by utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach. I also believe the therapeutic relationship can be an important part of healing. I think it’s important to understand why we do what we do but also provide practical tools to cope as well. Therapy can be an effective tool in the healing process and can help people gain insight and control over otherwise overwhelming circumstances. I believe in an approach which works at a pace that you determine and are comfortable with. I like to offer feedback and reflection and explore both the underlying emotions and roots to behaviors and feelings.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for college students and young adults in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Pennsylvania via telehealth. Many of the students I work with are dealing with anxiety, academic pressure, relationship challenges, identity questions, and the stress of major life transitions. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented and collaborative. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Therapy provides a space to better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships while developing healthier ways of responding to stress. Students often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Together we work to clarify what is happening beneath the surface, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in areas such as anxiety, depression, relationships, and self-confidence. I provide both in-person sessions in Carnegie, Pennsylvania and secure online therapy throughout the U.S. via PSYPACT. Prior to private practice I trained and worked full time at five counseling counseling centers in various cities.

Hello, I’m a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of adults in New York.

With over a decade of experience working in multiple clinical settings in NYC with a variety of cultures and ethnic groups, I recognize the importance of understanding each individuals’ unique circumstances to provide socially and culturally competent care.

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.

ADHD is more than just "having difficulty focusing," and no, not "everyone has a little bit of ADHD" as many people claim nowadays. The impact of ADHD is pervasive and can keep you from reaching your goals, connecting with others, maintaining a routine despite knowing that it would be helpful, and constantly "masking" for fear that you will not be accepted as you are. Life administrative tasks feel daunting and get postponed repeatedly, and the negative self-talk that ensues as a result takes a further toll and increases avoidance. I can help you understand the brain science of ADHD, incorporate aspects of mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities to overcome these challenges, and regain your mental energy. You'll learn to work with your neurodivergence, NOT against it. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, lens and am mindful about how culture, immigration journeys and systemic racism play a role in how someone compensates for their ADHD.
