Therapists for college students near 10003

Hi, I’m Kayla Cunningham! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and for the past 10 years, I’ve been helping people work through life’s challenges and changes. College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming — juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, and figuring out what’s next isn’t always easy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever’s on your mind, without judgment. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, big transitions, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to meet you where you’re at and help you find tools and strategies that actually fit your life. I believe the relationship we build is one of the most important parts of counseling. I’ll take the time to get to know you, understand what you’re going through, and adjust my approach to what you need — because there’s no one “right” way to do this.

Hello and thank you for visiting my practice page. The college experience can bring with it many changes and emotions. I know from personal times as a student that college and graduate school can be overwhelming, exciting and a wave of emotions and situations through the years. I work with college students to talk through situations, gain insight in processing what they are going through while growing and moving through the many experiences that can present themselves as a student. I am licensed in the states of NY and CT as a LCSW, I see students throughout NY and CT in person and through a HIPAA compliant Telehealth platform. Together we discuss, process and work on a variety of topics related to adjustments in life, anxiety, depression, trauma, eating related issued and body image, self-esteem, substance use, issues involving sports teams, Greek life related to sororities and fraternities, health issues, and many different relationship issues. I operate from a nonjudgmental, open and honest place drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities. Please visit my web site to learn more about my practice and send me a message if you are interested in seeing if we might be a good fit. Take care.

Hi there! My name is Catherine, and thank you for visiting my profile. I understand the challenges and excitement that come with finding a therapist that you feel you can "click" with, as this is YOUR journey, and you deserve to feel comfortable, heard, and validated during your therapeutic process with a provider that is attentive, present, and engaged. I value the therapeutic process as the therapist, and understand the time and energy it takes as the client (you) to be vulnerable, honest, and trusting. I am a safe-space for you to begin this healing journey. As a therapist, my main goal is to meet you where you are at in your healing journey. We will explore your insight into your personal morals and values that keep you grounded and motivated as a person, as well as discuss and explore any discrepancies you may be currently facing that may be testing your personal strength, and causing any self-doubt. Whether you have been in therapy for most of your life, or this is your first ever time reaching out for support in a therapeutic setting, please don't hesitate to give me a call to explore therapy and therapeutic options for you.

If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, ADHD, or relationships, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast paced, demanding world. The good news is, asking for help gets easier with a little practice. The way in which we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world. Asking for help, and obtaining a fresh perspective is often the first and most profound step toward developing the mental muscle needed to become stronger. As an experienced psychologist, it’s my honor to assist you in exploring core issues & move toward a healthy, fulfilling life. Utilizing a variety of approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Integrative, Person Centered, Solution-Focused Therapy, I will work with you to create a treatment that's customized to meet your unique circumstances. With honesty and compassion I will work with you to create an open channel of communication. We will work on the skill of self-compassion, which will allow you to move more easily through difficult times in the future, as well as become a more productive and happier person.

The name 'Winding Path' is a classic metaphor for life - the way in which one's life goes is often not linear or predictable. Often, people find themselves on a path that they both did not see coming nor are sure of where it will lead. This is what brings many people to therapy. I specifically gear my practice to help those with stress, trauma, family conflict, and symptoms that arise with indecision. The ethos of my practice is that I will meet clients where they are and walk with them on their own winding path, while using the therapeutic tools garnered from years of training to aim toward lessening their unease and increasing their clarity.

With more than a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I support adults 18 and older as they navigate some of life's most complex and personal challenges. My areas of expertise include ADHD, complex PTSD and trauma, attachment disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance use, grief and loss, and life transitions. For those navigating relational difficulties, I also offer couples counseling, family therapy, and group counseling to help strengthen the connections that matter most. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing begins within a safe, authentic, and supportive therapeutic relationship, one where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Finding the right therapist is a deeply personal process, and I encourage you to trust yourself in choosing the path that feels like the best fit. I take a holistic and collaborative approach to care, one that is always tailored to your unique needs. Drawing from psychoanalytic, person-centered, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, I integrate evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, somatic work, trauma-informed care, and attachment-based interventions. For those in couples or family therapy, this foundation helps strengthen communication, deepen connection, and create lasting change in your relationships. Whatever brings you here, my goal is to help you connect with your inner guidance, develop tools for growth, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. My path to becoming a therapist is a personal one. At 18, I knew something was wrong and reached out for help, scared and unsure of what to expect. What I found changed everything. My first therapist left a lasting impression on my life, and her impact planted the seed for the work I do today. That experience shaped not only my decision to become a therapist, but the kind of therapist I strive to be: someone who meets you with the care and presence that truly makes a difference. Outside of sessions, you'll often find me lost in a good book, working on a piece of writing, or hiking with my group through whatever trail is next on the list. I never pass up a chance to get to the beach, and live music holds a special place in my heart. Above all, I cherish the time I spend with my family and friends, and being a mom is one of my greatest joys.

My approach is influenced by C.G. Jung, Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning) Socratic dialogue, Buddhism and Quaker meetings. I work best with the person who sees their life as a journey of self-discovery. I will help you uncover the solutions that you already have and see the problematics of those solutions. I will help you listen to your muse, interpret your dreams, identify your interpersonal patterns and face the fears and anxieties that haunt you. I will treat your troubles with the utmost respect because they help you learn and grow. Gratitude softens pain. I find parallels between creativity & spiritual inspiration.

I work with individuals who know something needs to change, but may not know where to start. You may be overwhelmed, overthinking everything, struggling in your relationships, carrying things from your past, or feeling like you should have life figured out by now, but you don't. Maybe you're tired of repeating the same patterns, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like your emotions are running the show. In our work together, I help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and learn what to actually do differently. Therapy with me isn't just about talking about the problem week after week. We'll work toward helping you communicate better, manage difficult emotions, make healthier decisions, set boundaries, heal from painful experiences, and feel more in control of your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. You just have to be ready to start.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults, whom I believe are dynamic populations. Focus of sessions include supporting clients in processing thoughts and feelings, identifying triggers/stressors, teaching coping skills and social skills, practicing emotion regulation, utilizing self care, and implementing mindfulness. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, safe space for clients to feel comfortable and to be their authentic selves. I believe therapy is a collaborative space where you can show up as your authentic self. I provide individual counseling and family therapy. I believe that using therapeutic interventions, such as CBT and Emotion Focused Therapy provides positive and healthy transformation. I think that no story should go untold. I have a passion for people and want to provide a safe place for all.

Helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, and traumatic life experiences are some of my areas of expertise. Adding school pressures, deadlines, work, parenting and other responsibilities on top of that can be very overwhelming. Pain and emotions that we have been running from can start to catch up with us, stress and anxiety can climb to a level we have never experienced, and the relationships that we cherish can become strained. As life evolves we can lose the ability to cope the way we once did. When this happens we often need to adjust, understand the deeper source of our struggle and learn new strategies to manage our thoughts and feelings. With over 15 years experience in the mental health field I have helped many people do just that, learn new strategies and better understand themselves so that they can successfully manage life's ups and downs. If you are reading this and find yourself saying, "that's me", give me a call. You don't how to figure this out alone.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, upsetting intrusive thoughts, or past emotional wounds that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, and sense of safety. They are ready for relief, connection, and to feel more in control of their lives. I help clients by providing specialized treatments for anxiety conditions, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), perfectionism, and the deep echoes of trauma—from relational and intergenerational wounds to betrayal trauma. I believe therapy can help us grow, even through deep pain. My role is to help you approach yourself with curiosity and compassion while guiding you toward healing and meaningful change. If this feels like the right fit for you then let's connect.
