Therapists for college students near New York University

College students and young adults are my favorite population of people to work with. I enjoy supporting students through these years as they balance academics, relationships, self discovery and adulthood. I specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder and other mood regulation concerns.

My name is Dr. Lindo, and it is a pleasure to meet you! I began my career as a school psychology with the hopes of helping children, adolescents, and young adults cope through times of stress. My overall goals and passions can be summed up as an agent for change - I hope to help clients develop the skills necessary to be effective agents in their own lives. I attended St. John's University for both my M.S. and PsyD. Throughout my practicum and professional experience, I have worked with a variety of needs, with a primary focus on anxiety-related disorders and depression. My goal is for you to take an active role in the decision-making process. Our therapy sessions should feel comfortable enough for you to express your thoughts, concerns, or worries while also providing a space to break through barriers of resistance that are preventing you from moving forward and functioning successfully. After a session, you should expect to walk away with a focus, challenge, or practice for the week tailored to pushing you towards your goals that we collectively define and target. If you are interested in learning more about my approach and how I can support you, please reach out.

Life happens in unexpected ways. My goal is to work with you to navigate some of these issues, and help you to make changes to negative thoughts, feelings and actions. I am here to provide a place to safely share and identify boundaries to living your best life!

Reaching out is a big step and contacting a therapist is an accomplishment and sign of growth in itself. We help with wellness, meeting goals, coping skills, anxiety and mood, stress, relational matters, trauma, help adjusting to life changes and more. We believe that the combination of a solid therapeutic alliance, discovery, understanding, and practical advice leads to the most beneficial outcome and helps in both the short and long term. We can examine issues, your perspectives, identify patterns and themes, and learn how you cope and interact in order to help you move towards desired outcomes.

Feeling overwhelmed and feel your thoughts and moods run your life? And do you feel this prevents you from living life to its fullest? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (R) Therapist with 12+ years of experience. I can begin therapy within 1 week of your initial call! Often through sharing our thoughts and struggles with a skilled, empathetic professional, hope can be restored. Also, by learning a few key thinking strategies and other simple mental techniques, together we can reduce and eliminate the feelings of being powerless over how our minds automatically can work against us. I specialize in helping you find ways to make your life more manageable. I work in particular with all types of mood disorders, chronic pain management, and with couples. I can help you find solutions within yourself. Stop letting more time go by in your life in which you feel you or relationship is broken! There is an easier and better way! My clients tell me that therapy is not as intimidating as they anticipated, and that they have found our sessions to be safe, comfortable, relaxed and extremely relieving. I will work to reasonably accommodate your financial capabilities. I have evening hours as well as video therapy available!

Through the stress of everyday life, so many of us have learned to put our needs aside. Often, we ignore them in the service of others, overwhelm, or simply not knowing how to nurture ourselves. I help clients to develop insight around why they may do this and address the root cause of the problem for healing that lasts. It is my honor and privilege to join you on this journey.

I help children, teens, and young adults to feel empowered and create balance in their everyday lives. Struggling with trauma, transitions, or overwhelming emotions can feel depleting. A combination of art psychotherapy incorporating various treatment approaches may offer you the tools needed to tackle the obstacles you are facing in your life. I view the dynamics of our therapeutic relationship as if we were driving in a car together. You are ultimately the driver- hitting the brakes, pressing on the gas, changing direction of the steering wheel, and most importantly in control of the car. As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I take pride in tailoring my approach to each client’s unique needs. Alongside utilizing art psychotherapy, I integrate modalities such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges start to take over. You may find yourself worrying constantly, feeling stuck or struggling to balance the many demands of school, work, and personal life. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to carry those struggles alone. I know how daunting it can feel to reach out for support, and I admire the courage it takes to consider change. Together, we’ll work toward building a sense of peace, clarity, and strength so you can feel more grounded and hopeful moving forward. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12+ years of experience supporting teens, adults, couples, and families. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs — blending clinical expertise with practical tools. For those who wish, I also can integrate a biblical perspective while honoring your individual values and beliefs. You deserve to feel supported and empowered in this next chapter. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to connect and explore how we can work together to achieve your goals.

My work is grounded in liberation psychology and cultural humility. Who you are, your race, gender, spirituality, family history, community ties, and the systems you navigate every day, and your relationship to power is not background information. It is central to the work. You will not need to minimize, explain away, or translate your experience here. My approach is integrative. I draw from Internal Family Systems, Multicultural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, embodiment practices, and Emotional Freedom Technique, weaving these together based on what you need and what resonates with you. No single method fits every person, and I am not attached to a rigid formula. I work alongside you, not above you. We will identify together what you are working toward and what pathways make sense for your life. I believe deeply that the most meaningful change happens when your voice, your values, and your cultural wisdom are driving the process.

Hi! I'm Grace Polanco, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working with adults and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, eating disorders, and addictions. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques based on your particular needs to help you feel empowered to guide your own healing and life goals. My therapy technique is based on a humanistic approach, which is a focus on seeing the world through your eyes to foster growth, and resilience. You are the expert of your life, and my approach is to nurture that truth. I often reflect on the dimensions of wellness in session, and will utilize tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sessions are currently being offered via teletherapy.

Hi there! My name is Reese Minshew, and I work almost entirely with transgender (broadly defined) adults who have had traumatic (broadly defined) experiences. I’m licensed in California, Illinois, and New York, and work via telehealth with people located in any of those states. Clinically, I believe that the reactions we have after experiencing trauma and stress are fundamentally adaptive to the trauma, but can disrupt everyday life. In other words, if you had a difficult experience (including chronic exposure to structural stressors such as anti-trans bias, white supremacy, ableism, etc), you might not be able to eat, sleep, focus, calm down, feel excited, or be in relationships in the way you want. Whatever reaction you’re having was very helpful to you at one time, but if it’s no longer serving you then we can work on that. Most of the time we would do this by talking about what’s going on in your life right now, and working to understand it in the context of your past experiences.

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.

The Therapy You Deserve You are the expert. Of your experiences. Of your needs. Of your goals. Of your life worth living. At your pace.

At some time in life, everyone feels overwhelmed and looks for a path to a happier, more comfortable day-to-day routine. That is different for everybody, and regardless of your individual needs, I can help you reach your goals. Change is not easy. When change involves mental health including anxiety and depression, substance abuse, or addressing negative behavioral patterns, it is necessary to involve a mental health professional. With over 20 years of experience, I create a warm, safe environment that allows growth to happen. Using a variety of methods including motivational enhancement therapy, critical time intervention, harm reduction methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy I connect with clients and lead them through short and long term life changes. I have experience working with teens, young adults, families, and adults. Set up a free consultation with me to discuss a plan to help you meet your needs.

I am a psychiatrist with experience helping college and graduate students navigate the ups and downs of campus life. In my previous work at Yale Mental Health and Counseling, I supported students dealing with academic stress, identity exploration, mood and anxiety concerns, and the pressure to achieve. In my practice now, I bring together medication management, therapy, and integrative wellness approaches such as mindfulness and somatic practices. My goal is to offer a supportive and collaborative space where you can feel understood, build resilience, and discover ways to feel more balanced and empowered both personally and academically.
