Therapists for college students near New York University

For many, college is the best of times..the newfound freedom to discover who you are and where you’re going in your career and your relationships and the sense of all that’s possible. But, for others, it’s also the worst. Why? Because this is also a time of existential crises. New freedoms bring up so many questions: Is this really the relationship or career I want to pursue? If this is such a great time in my life, why do I feel so anxious, stressed, or depressed? Why can’t I regularly tap into the motivation I want to do all the things I’ve always wanted to do? Imagine how it feels… the waves constantly coming at you. You personally have to navigate these situations, because you’re the only one with all the answers. But it feels scary and shameful that you don’t have the foggiest clue of what you’re doing. And shouldn’t you already know by now?? Not at all! Truth is, college is a much more difficult time than most people acknowledge. But hard times can also be opportunities… for you to discover more fully who you are and how to embrace this ‘not-knowing.’ Our work together will help you learn how to make sense of all these different feelings, and cultivate the creativity needed to make something interesting and new out of all those questions. Instead of being pummeled by the waves, you can actually surf them! Instead of getting pulled in by the undertow, the barrage of self-critical and anxious thoughts that keep you up at night, I’ll help you learn how to approach these without fear and harness them so you can find your answers. Let’s get started! If you’re excited about putting aside the worry and the stress and finding your energy and direction again, call or email me so we can get started. College can be that great time you’d always hoped it would be.

My Approach Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist who believes in building relationships with my clients while using evidence-based practices to help each client achieve the changes that he or she is seeking to make. I am passionate about the "whole" person, taking a comprehensive, collaborative approach with services. I approach treatment and assessment from a strengths-based perspective and integrate a variety of psychological orientations. I focus on resiliency and helping my clients to recognize their unique strengths in order to learn and grow from their experiences and difficulties.

Life is about transitions! I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with adjustment to college, women’s issues, grief, body image, trauma, aging parents, chronic pain, depression and anxiety. I work within a feminist lens, using a health at every size and trauma-informed approach. I’m happy to do a free consultation with you so that you get to ask any questions and can see if I may be a good match for you.

Welcome! My work focuses on helping you overcome beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors that stem from difficult relationships and experiences throughout life. I recognize that our "bad" choices often arise from issues with our sense of self and self-worth, which we will explore and understand in our work together. My approach to therapy encourages you to embrace the freedom to be yourself, letting go of who or what you “should” be. I offer a warm and non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard and respected. I never tell you what to do because I trust that you know -- you just need to parse through some of the noise to get there.

Hello! I'm a LMHC in the state of NY working primarily with young adults and those looking to explore their identity. I enjoy looking at things with a creative and holistic approach. My previous time working in and around the arts also helps to inform the way I work. I hope that I can be a helpful partner on your journey.

Hi, I'm Sascha, and I offer therapy for folks in California & New York. My practice is body positive, sex positive, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, in solidarity with BIPOC, and is informed by Jungian and depth psychology + Gestalt therapy. Areas I specialize in include grief + loss, life transitions, identity + sexual awakening, career development, relationship difficulties, codependency, depression, anxiety, and complex trauma. Reach out for a free 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.

There are things that you have to deal with that are too difficult to take on by yourself. Unfortunately, it is not always clear which direction to take- you need someone to bounce ideas off of, someone who is objective and has the experience to help you find your way. I believe that you have the tools you need to make the changes that you need to make. My role as therapist is to help you find those tools within yourself and to learn trust yourself enough to use them. I have worked with clients who are dealing with adjustment, life-stage transitions, identity issues and family problems. Many of my clients seek therapy for relationship issues and when struggling with grief, depression or anxiety.

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.

Are you struggling to reach your full potential in college, despite being bright and capable? I help students who know they're smart but face unexpected challenges in their coursework, campus life, or daily routines. Many students come to me feeling frustrated because traditional academic support services haven't given them the answers or guidance they need. I provide neuroaffirming care to students who: - Work incredibly hard but don't see the grades they expect - Excel in some classes but struggle with organization or meeting deadlines - Feel they're not living up to their potential - Want to understand why certain academic tasks feel more challenging than they should My goal is to bring together all the pieces needed to understand your unique situation – from detailed assessments to blood work to medication consultations – all in one welcoming place. I don't just run tests; I take the time to get to know you, understand your academic and personal goals, and create practical solutions that make a real difference in your college experience. Whether you're seeking academic accommodations, looking to improve your study performance, or simply wanting to better understand how your mind works, I am here to guide you through every step with clear explanations and meaningful solutions. Beyond assessments, I offer Cogmed Training to help strengthen your working memory, and can provide medication management when appropriate.

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 welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities and hold a special commitment to affirming and uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re exploring your identity, working through anxiety or depression, facing a life transition, or simply looking for more balance, I’ll meet you where you are—with warmth, curiosity, and care. I am dedicated to creating a supportive, collaborative space for adults navigating life’s challenges. I take a person-centered approach, meaning our work is guided by your experiences, needs, and goals. Therapy with me is grounded in empathy, respect, and the belief that meaningful healing happens when you feel truly seen & heard. I incorporate mindfulness and self-care practices into therapy to help you reconnect with yourself, reduce stress, and build resilience in everyday life. I believe self-care is more than a checklist—it's about honoring your needs. Above all, I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel empowered to move forward in your own way, at your own pace. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to work with you.

I offer a warm, non‑judgmental space where you can slow down, breathe, and explore what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is deeply trauma‑informed and grounded in the belief that healing happens at your pace, with safety and connection at the center. I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, caregiver burnout, and the emotional weight of complex family systems. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from an integrative blend of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, polyvagal‑informed work, CBT, and DBT. This flexibility allows us to work with both the mind and the body, helping you build grounding, resilience, and a deeper sense of self‑trust. Living with CPTSD myself, I understand how essential it is to feel truly seen and supported in therapy. I bring experience from inpatient psychiatric settings, where I worked with individuals facing acute mental health challenges and crisis situations. I’m especially passionate about supporting caregivers and those who tend to everyone else before themselves. I offer telehealth and in‑person sessions. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, more connected to yourself, and more able to imagine what’s possible for your life.

I appreciate the time you are taking to choose the best person and process for your specific needs. Being a college student requires a lot of difficult choices, and I know finding a counselor can be hard as well. Here are some thoughts about how I work, but please contact me if you have other questions. My goal as a counselor is to shape our work around the needs, goals, and overall direction you want to take in your life. If you have very focused, concrete issues you want to address, we’ll use a solution-focused approach to create plans and strategies for focused change and growth. If you have more broad, complicated things to address, we talk about a deeper purpose and meaning for your life that can serve as a foundation for more significant changes. No matter what you would like to talk about in counseling, we will capitalize on your strengths as a whole person to create the change you seek.

I love supporting college students and have been doing so for the past 15 years. I spent much of that time providing therapy in New York City, before returning to my home town of Fairfield, CT to continue my practice. In addition to in person appointments, I continue to provide telehealth sessions for any students located in CT or NY. I also have experience with this age group in schools, medical and psychiatric hospital settings and in the classroom while teaching at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I truly enjoy working with my clients and draw upon my own experience and their inherent strengths to achieve change in a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment. ​

We are a group of professional counselors providing psychotherapy to adults and teens. Individual and couples sessions, as well as group therapy.

I specialize in college aged individuals and the specific struggles associated with this time in life. I’m also an LGBTQ ally so you can be sure to be treated with respect. I utilize mindfulness based practices as well as CBT and other evidence-based therapies to help you reach your goals!
