Therapists for college students near New York University
Hello! My name is Kelsea. I am a skilled and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in New York. I truly believe that everyone has the ability to improve their life experience. I create a safe space for my clients to be their authentic selves, while guiding self-exploration and identification of goals. I utilize evidence-based, trauma-informed practices to assist in achieving these goals. I meet my clients where they are by utilizing an affirming, non-judgmental and person-centered approach. I specialize in working with teens, young adults and college students to address depression, anxiety, alcohol/substance use, trauma/PTSD, suicidal thoughts/self-harm, low self-esteem, identity related issues, school stress and life transitions. My therapy approach is empowering and strength-focused, as well as direct and results-driven. While I tailor my approach to meet client specific needs, I often use Narrative Therapy to assist clients in taking control of and/or re-writing their story. I have extensive training and experience providing Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and evidence-based Trauma/PTSD therapy modalities. I aim to make quality mental health care accessible. If you are self-pay, please reach out so we can explore setting a fee that works for you.
If you’re feeling less like yourself, with anxious thoughts, trouble sleeping, trouble making decisions, difficulty motivating or just feeling like your new life wasn’t what you expected, I can help get you on a new path towards healing and connection. I help college students with adjustment, stress, depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I have training working with those withADHD and associated issues, as well as specialized understanding of the pressure faced by high level collegiate athletes.
Welcome to our clinical psychotherapy group! We are a group of 7 clinicians working with young people to support mental health and healing. We specialize in adolescent and young adult populations addressing anxiety, depression, suicidal thinking, self-harm behaviors, disordered eating, substance misuse, family system challenges, stress, social anxiety and more.

Are you struggling with being able to motivate yourself? Do you have little energy or can't seem to focus? Do you feel isolated from others and have trouble forming relationships. As a counselor in the field for close to 15 years I have been helping clients and students like yourself work through and overcome many of these issues. I have worked on college campuses and was also a mentor for international students at the University at Buffalo.where I studied Psychology and Counseling. If you are looking for support to help navigate this time please reach out to me. I offer telehealth services as well as home or community visits. I look forward to hearing from you.
We may have all asked ourselves at one time or another..."How did I (or we) get here?" During these times, talking to someone who understands helps. I have helped many college students/young adults with adjusting to college life, academic stressors and relationship difficulties. I am skilled in helping students manage anxiety and depression. I believe that understanding you and the reasons you are seeking counseling as essential to our work together. We will employ practical strategies you can utilize outside of the office. Students will often ask me, "what is my homework?" It will feel empowering to work on your goals both in and outside of therapy.
I partner with adolescents and adults looking to address anxiety disorders, depression, self-esteem issues, and family dynamic challenges. I take a relational and empathetic approach and work to provide a safe space for clients to discuss their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. The therapeutic relationship is a privilege, and I am grateful to listen and try to understand how you see the world. I received my MSW at Fordham University. I trained in a hospital setting where I conducted group/individual therapy in an acute inpatient psychiatric unit. I take a holistic approach to understanding my clients and use psychodynamic and evidence based-practices (CBT) to help clients observe patterns of thoughts and behaviors with compassion. Thank you for having the courage to ask for help. Wherever you are starting from, I am happy to meet you there. No topic is off limits.
Hi, my name is Vanessa Cañedo. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 31 years of experience in the mental health field. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. My approach is relational, creatively working towards a unique client-therapist relationship. I work with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self-esteem and trauma. My commitment to you is to provide a personalized service that is tailored to your needs.
Hey there and welcome! Are you a young adult who is experiencing stress, relationship conflict, low self-esteem or contemplating your identity? You have come to the right place. I specialize in working with young people who are navigating the unique challenges of early adulthood. I take a person-centered and collaborative approach to therapy by meeting you where you're at. Together, I guide and empower you to make positive change while introducing you to new insights, coping strategies and skills.
You - feeling overwhelmed, stuck, like the world is on fire and you're supposed to just "cope." You - navigating relationships, friendships, and family, questioning who you are, thinking "what's next?" Sessions with me - a space for you to talk things out, get clarity and confidence, and a better relationship with your self. You show up as you are, and we go from there, without you feeling judged or "therapized" like it's going out of style. (Although that is something I can provide if you really want! We can figure it out as we go, that's kind of the point!) My approach to therapy is relational, which means I believe the trust and connection between therapist and client is paramount to the healing process. I see you as the expert of your life and my role is support and guide you with compassion and curiosity. Together we can explore what's working, what's not, and how you can move forward. I'm especially passionate about supporting women, college students, and LGBTQ+ folks as you navigate the complexities that come with living in today's world. Therapy should be a place of growth, insight, and finding the joy among the hurt. If you're ready to explore and create meaningful change for yourself, I'd love to work with you!
I am committed to empowering you achieve the contentment and happiness that you seek.

I incorporate warmth, sincerity, and humor into my work, aiming to create a space where clients feel comfortable engaging in critical thinking and introspection. I believe in the importance of integrating past and present experiences to help compassionate, creative people get out of survival mode and into connected, meaningful lives. I enjoy helping clients feel empowered and more satisfied both individually and in relationships. I tailor my approach to your specific needs and unique circumstances.

Emotional pain can make you dread going to sleep, waking up, eating and even interacting with loved ones. It can disconnect you from your joy. If you’ve had a life event that shakes you to the core can feel incredibly isolating. But major losses in life also open doors to big transformations.
I graduated from UMass Medical school and was trained in adult psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Prior to going to medical school I received a Masters in Teaching from Boston University and worked as a teacher. This unique background affects my approach to psychiatry. I believe that a good psychiatrist should work with you to help you learn about yourself and your mental health. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), psychodynamic therapy, supportive therapy, and Gottman style couples/relationship therapy. During my time at CHA I worked extensively with the Gender and Sexuality Clinic to serve patients of diverse sexual and gender identities. I also co-lead a group therapy for individuals in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. I have taught at the American Psychiatric Association’s specialized rotation for HIV Psychiatry, including lectures on how to provide effective telepsychiatry, and I have presented at a national meeting on teaching providers how to better work with patients to prescribe medications. I am a licensed physician in Massachusetts, New York, and California. I offer in person appointments in Somerville, MA as well as secure telehealth appointments to those residing in Massachusetts, New York, and California. In addition to medication management I offer individual and relationship/couples therapy.

Making the first call is sometimes the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I commend you for your strength and courage in seeking help.
