Therapists for college students near Northeastern University

Hi! My name is Sam Aston and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) at Crooked Tree Counseling, LLC in Cambridge, MA. I center my work on exploring the areas of meaning, uncertainty, and contradiction. I utilize a curious, non-judgmental, and embodied approach with a focus on your expectations and desires to assist you in better accepting, understanding and becoming who you want to be. To compliment this approach, I utilize ACT, CBT, existential, psychodynamic, and mindfulness therapies and invite clients to be shared collaborators on this journey. I have experience in college settings and in adult outpatient work focusing on anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. I centers my research on the intersection of technology, community, and identity. I received a master's degree from Boston College. Note that an intake coordinator from our practice will respond to you to schedule an initial consultation. I have both in office and virtual openings!-

At Cambridge Mental Health, we understand the unique pressures faced by the city’s top students, faculty, researchers, and professionals.

Conveniently located near Harvard, MIT, and the heart of Cambridge’s innovation corridor.

I work as a psychologist at CampusCare Counseling, providing quality mental health services to young adults. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, relational, and psychodynamic, relying on building trust in a nonjudgmental space. I believe treatment should be rooted in each client’s unique strengths, relationships and communities. I operate from an anti-oppressive, feminist, disability-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming and intersectional lens. I draw on a wide range of modalities to tailor treatment for each individual, which often includes narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, relational-cultural therapy (RCT), mindfulness, or expressive arts therapy.

I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and co-founder of Boston Psychiatry Center. My mission is to provide thoughtful, high-quality, and accessible outpatient psychiatric care for patients and their families. I take time to get to know each patient as a person, not just a collection of symptoms. I believe that understanding someone’s story (how they think, feel, and navigate challenges) is essential to helping them improve. In addition to my work at Boston Psychiatry Center, I am on staff at McLean Hospital and MGH. These experiences let me stay at the forefront of psychiatric research and clinical care. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I prescribe medications, offer therapy, can provide a second opinion, and I can mix-and-match as needed to tailor care to your needs. I am comfortable with a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. Reach out if you want someone who is personable and compassionate, but also willing to challenge you to reach your goals. I am told that I am deeply attentive, mixing serious moments with much-needed fun and humor. I enjoy getting to know my patients, connecting with them, and watching them improve.

My name is Dr. William Butler, and I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist. I have advanced training from Massachusetts General Hospital, McLean Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. I work with adult patients experiencing depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, personality patterns, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. My approach is grounded in evidence-based medication treatment and skills-focused, intensive psychotherapy, tailored to each patient’s needs and goals. I offer financial discounts to students using out-of-network benefits. If I am out-of-network with your plan, I can process your out-of-network claims so you only pay your portion of the cost (your coinsurance). I help students and young adults facing a broad range of concerns, including mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges who seek evidence-based treatment and a psychiatrist who thinks with them. I offer psychotherapy, medication management, and practical planning for work, school, and relationships. Starting treatment is a meaningful step, especially if previous approaches haven’t been helpful. My role is to offer clear, thoughtful care and working together to craft a treatment plan. I'd be happy to connect to answer any questions about my approach and to see if working together could be a good fit.

For nearly 15 years, I worked as a high school teacher, advisor, dean, and administrator. Working with adolescents was fun, rewarding, and dynamic. As a social worker, I have worked in college settings, residential substance use treatment, and a community mental health clinic. I have significant clinical experience supporting clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use, and specialize in working with adolescents, college students and emerging adults. I bring a particular appreciation for the stage of life between childhood and full adulthood, an understanding of the pressures of this age range, and a wealth of experience helping people navigate the challenges of growing up. I feel comfortable working with people of all identities and backgrounds. I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults, Jewish and other faith communities, and older adults. I strive to be culturally competent and curious as I learn about another person. I believe everyone needs to be heard and helped regardless of religion, creed, or political beliefs.

Hi there! The clients I work with are college students and young adults who often feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges and want practical support to feel more in control. You may find yourself overthinking, stuck in worry loops, or struggling with patterns like perfectionism or intrusive thoughts -- all very normal experiences. If you are looking for a space to better understand yourself or build healthier ways of coping, you're in the right spot! Maybe you are motivated for change or unsure where to start. I will bring a collaborative and supportive approach that balances insight with real-life tools you can use day-to-day.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Massachusetts, New York, and Florida specializing in working with individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and related issues. I work with clients of all ages either in-person at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA)’s Cambridge and Melrose offices or via Zoom. The services I offer include weekly outpatient therapy, as well as an intensive outpatient therapy option. I also offer diagnostic assessment services, including autism, intelligence, and achievement testing.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here! I work with college students and young adults who may feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, or OCD. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and motivated, yet internally they’re navigating constant “what if” thoughts, self-doubt, or a sense of pressure to get things just right. You might find yourself avoiding certain situations, procrastinating because things feel overwhelming, or getting caught in mental loops that are hard to step away from. Anxiety or OCD may be starting to impact your schoolwork, relationships, or your ability to enjoy everyday life. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, it can feel exhausting underneath. If you’re hoping to develop a different relationship with your thoughts and feelings (even if that feels a little uncomfortable at first) and are looking for meaningful, lasting change, we might be a good fit. In our work together, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, building practical tools and gently working through the patterns that are keeping you stuck, so you can feel more confident, flexible, and more like yourself.

I tend to work best with clients who are open to growth and willing to look a little deeper at how they’re living their lives. You might be asking yourself questions like: “Am I living the life I actually want?” or “Why do I feel so stuck, even when I know something needs to change?” Together, we explore the gap between how your life looks right now and how you want it to feel. We’ll look at the thoughts, emotions, or patterns that might be getting in the way -whether that’s anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling pulled in different directions. While many of my clients are teens and young adults who are starting to build insight into themselves, what matters most isn’t your age, it’s your willingness to be open, curious, and honest in the process. If you’re ready to show up authentically and work toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are, we’ll likely be a good fit.

School is supposed to be a chapter you're lucky to be in (the years people romanticize, the program you worked hard to get into, the path you chose for yourself), which can make it harder to say out loud when it doesn't feel that way. Whether it's anxiety that won't quit, a low-grade numbness you can't explain, pressure to perform that's become suffocating, or the unsettling sense that you're on a path someone else chose for you, these aren't things you should have to push through alone. They're worth understanding. I'm a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who does both medication management and in-depth psychotherapy. With me, you're not bouncing between a prescriber you see for fifteen minutes and a therapist who doesn't know what you're taking. I work with the whole picture. That means we talk. Really talk. About what's going on, what's underneath it, and what you actually want (not just what looks good on a transcript). Before medicine, I went to both law school and medical school (two of the longer and more punishing graduate trainings there are), so the strain of staying functional while something underneath isn't working is familiar to me from the inside, not from a textbook. My style is warm but direct. I'm not going to sit silently and wait for you to fill the space, and I'm not going to hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I pay attention to what you need: sometimes that's a push, sometimes it's room to breathe, sometimes it's someone who will tell you the thing no one else has said yet. I'm also an Asian American psychiatrist with a background in law. I founded The Jeong Center around a Korean concept (jeong (정)) the deep bond that forms when two people share real time and presence together. I have particular experience working with anxiety, depression, panic, difficult relationship patterns, and unforgiving professional expectations. Offices in Brookline and Downtown Boston. Telehealth available. INSURANCE & FEES I'm an out-of-network physician, but most Boston-area student health insurance plans provide out-of-network benefits that can be used to cover some or even most of my fees. Reach out if you'd like help checking your benefits.
