Therapists for college students near New York University

Hello all, I am from NYC originally, and have been a licensed psychologist for 17 years! I completed my clinical internship at Yale, and my post-doctorate at the Boston College Counseling Center. I have been a Program Manager at NYU Langone Brooklyn in their mental health program for over a decade, and have my own private practice. The guiding belief of my practice is that all people can overcome their difficulties, no matter how difficult, when given the right tools and support. We would be happy to help you no matter what challenge is in front of you. I specialize in helping young adults navigate difficulties such as anxiety, depression, executive function, relationship issues, panic, and spectrum disorders. I have an advanced specialty in treating psychosis and bipolar disorder as well. I carefully selected two other members of my team who share my philosophy, and I supervise them for a real team based approach to helping patients who come to us for help. Our Team One staff member is African American, she enjoys working with all individuals but especially Black adults across the diaspora (given her background and culturally informed knowledge of struggles for Black Americans, Africans, immigrants, first-gen, and minorities within black cultures). One staff member is Chinese and speaks English and Mandarin. While skilled in treating all individuals, she has a particular interest in BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ communities, first-gen and international students, bicultural individuals, and people navigating anxiety and/or. depression We are here to help you. The first step is to call us for a free 20 minute consult (you can submit a request through the website too), but we enjoy receiving calls as well. When we speak, we will ask you some questions to get to know you and see how we can help and who is the best team member who can help. You would have a chance to ask questions and see if we feel like a good fit for you as well. Many people who are struggling with their mental health have a hard time reaching out for help. Please, I encourage you to pick up the phone for a free consult and let us hear how you are doing and see how we may help you. Thank you As a licensed psychologist practicing for nearly 20 years, I aim to keep the cost of treatment low. We accept several insurances, and we can also offer a sliding fee cheaper than our listed prices for people that are struggling but don't have the insurances we accept. Others are under their parents insurance. Send a message through the website or call for assistance!

Self-discovery is an evolving journey that takes time. I work with clients living at the intersection of identities, culture, and belonging. As an East Asian therapist who has lived across multiple cultures, I am passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality, relationship concerns, life transitions, and trauma. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from New York University and an advanced certificate in LGBTQ+ Health. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, grounded in person-centered and feminist therapy, while drawing on ACT, MBCT, and DBT to tailor therapy to your needs. I offer sessions in English and Mandarin and warmly welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds. Together, I hope to help you deepen self-understanding, cultivate self-compassion, and feel empowered as you navigate your life journey.

What haven't you said? And what might change if you said it? Some things only become known and shift under the right conditions. I'm Andrew, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in Ashland, OR, remote across OR, MD, and NY. I've been a therapist for 15 years. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship snags, troublesome patterns, career and purpose questions, and the more diffuse sense that something is off. I work with students and graduate students sorting out what it means to become themselves while meeting everyone else's expectations, and with medical students and residents under the particular pressures of clinical training. I've also spent years with addiction, trauma, and more acute struggles. My training is psychoanalytic, but in practice I'm more interested in you than in applying any of it to you. I'm not here to fit you into a framework or hand you formulas for how to be. Together we explore what matters, what repeats, what gets avoided, what happens between us. You come to know what's best. That stays with you anywhere. The first conversation is a brief phone call, fifteen or twenty minutes, to talk about what brought you in and whether we're a fit. Not sure if therapy is for you? That's a fine place to start. Reach out.

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State offering virtual therapy to college and graduate students. College can bring a unique mix of challenges, including loneliness, changing friendships, social anxiety, self-esteem struggles, academic pressure, and uncertainty about who you are or what comes next. Therapy is a place to address all of it. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. We won’t just talk about what’s going on, we’ll work to understand the deeper patterns, experiences, and beliefs keeping you stuck to create meaningful change. I integrate approaches including EMDR, CBT, somatic work and relational therapy to help you feel more confident, connected, and grounded in yourself.

I help bright, dynamic students deal with the anxiety and overwhelm that can creep up as you're out there doing what you always thought you were supposed to be doing. You work really hard but it's getting harder to hold it all together as you wrestle with the doubts and the stress. Your relationships might be feeling less than happy and fulfilling lately, or you're just plain overwhelmed. On the outside, you look like you have it all together - but that doesn't make you feel OK on the inside. I help people like you learn how to finally feel good about themselves, balance school work and self care, build strong relationships, manage anxiety and stress, and feel less alone and overwhelmed. You're not out of options - in fact, therapy could be the start of a great new chapter in your life.

Hi, I’m Dhvani! I offer virtual therapy sessions for students in NY and NJ who may be looking for support beyond their campus counseling center. I work with people navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions—especially during demanding or uncertain times in school. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I understand that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll tailor our work based on your goals—whether that means building practical tools to manage day-to-day stress or exploring deeper patterns that may be shaping your experiences. Finding the right therapist matters. If you’re interested in working together, I’d be happy to connect for a free consultation to see if it feels like a good fit for you.

I help college students, graduate students, and university faculty manage stress, cope with painful emotions, and navigate school, work, and relationships. Higher education offers a huge opportunity for growth and self-discovery, but it also presents unique stressors and challenges. In addition to treating anxiety and depression, I work regularly with issues of perfectionism, peer comparison, academic pressure, and burnout. I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore identity issues, adjust to new situations and life phases, and examine possible career directions. I believe that great therapy is tailored to meet clients’ needs and goals, so I integrate a variety of approaches into my work, including insight-oriented methods, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Depending on what a client brings to each session, we might work on specific tools to address a current problem, examine the origins of a long-standing pattern, or explore some of life’s biggest questions together. I believe in the inherent resiliency of my clients, and I empower them to tap into their inner strengths and resources. At the foundation of my practice is always the relationship with my clients, which is built on mutual trust and active collaboration. My professional training includes degrees in Psychology (BA, Harvard University), Social Work (MSW, University of Chicago), and Higher Education (EdD, Northeastern University), along with experience in university counseling, academic and career advising, community mental health, and international education. Clients describe me as authentic, attentive, compassionate, and dedicated. While I am not in-network for any insurance providers, many university students have out-of-network benefits that they can use to seek insurance reimbursement for our sessions. I am happy to assist clients in this process. Please visit my website for more information. I am based in Cambridge MA and licensed across MA, NY, DC, and CT.

Counseling for College Students & Young Adults College and young adulthood can be an exciting time—but it can also come with a lot of pressure, uncertainty, and change. At Inspiring Wellness, we provide a supportive, judgment-free space for college students and young adults to navigate the challenges that come with this stage of life. We help young adults work through academic stress and pressure, life transitions, body image, self-esteem, self-confidence, social anxiety, relationships, identity, and the everyday struggles that can come with becoming more independent and figuring out what’s next. Whether you’re adjusting to college, navigating friendships and relationships, feeling overwhelmed by expectations, or simply struggling to feel like yourself, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Our compassionate, client-centered approach combines traditional counseling with mindfulness-based techniques when appropriate. We help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and patterns so you can develop healthier ways to cope, build confidence, and feel more grounded in your life. At Inspiring Wellness, we believe mental health is connected to the whole person. Through an integrative, mind-body approach, we support you in creating greater self-awareness, resilience, and balance—not just getting through this chapter, but learning how to feel more confident and connected as you move forward.

I believe that being in therapy is about creating space for positive change. When we can slow down and make room for ourselves, we can grow and create lasting adjustments that make our lives more balanced and enjoyable. I work collaboratively with clients, providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore issues, problem solve, navigate life transitions, develop new and creative coping skills, and strengthen one’s relationship with themselves and with others. I specialize in helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction recovery. I also work extensively with artists of all kinds who are experiencing creative blocks or stagnation in their art/creative practices and life. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art materials and the creative process to help people express, process, and integrate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Art therapy is for everyone, not just people who identify as artists or have experience with the visual arts. Clients see me for talk therapy and or art therapy. All sessions are tailored to the preferences and goals of my clients. My approach is holistic and person-center, integrating traditional talk therapies and art therapy with mindfulness/body-based practices. I am a patient and compassionate therapist, who values humor and direct communication, dedicated to supporting my clients in their healing process and personal growth, enacting the changes they desire to see within themselves.

~Helping college and graduate students move beyond anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt into clarity, resilience, and deeper self-understanding~ College can look exciting from the outside — but many students find themselves quietly struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or a sense that something just isn’t quite right. You might be: Feeling anxious, burned out, or constantly “on edge” Overthinking everything — relationships, decisions, your future Navigating identity, independence, or family pressure Struggling socially or feeling alone even when surrounded by people Dealing with health challenges, stress-related symptoms, or emotional exhaustion Wanting to understand yourself more deeply — not just “cope,” but actually change I work especially well with thoughtful, self-aware college and graduate students who are ready to go beyond surface-level coping and really understand what’s driving their patterns. My approach is integrative and mind-body focused, drawing from: EMDR (for processing past experiences that still impact you) DBT (for emotional regulation and practical tools) Nervous system / mind-body work (understanding anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms) Insight-oriented therapy (helping you make sense of yourself on a deeper level) I aim to create a space that is both warm and real — where you feel understood, but also gently challenged to grow. This work isn’t just about getting through college — it’s about helping you build a foundation for a more grounded, confident, and authentic life.

We are here to help you. College life can be challenging- the demands of getting good grades, the the complications of social life, working to fit in, living alone for the first time- away from our previous support systems, and caring for you mental health are all intensified in the university setting. We get it. We have recent experience being in your world- knowing first hand the demands of today's college student. Mike, the director of Resouling Therapy, has over 25 years of experience working with college students- 6 years as a counselor on a college campus.
