Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I am Dr. Stephanie Miodus, a licensed psychologist dedicated to providing comprehensive assessments for autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and developmental challenges. My goal is to help you better understand your strengths, address difficulties, and access the support you deserve. Using evidence-based tools like the ADOS-2, I deliver clear, in-depth evaluations of social, emotional, cognitive, and academic functioning. Whether you are seeking testing for academic accommodations, personal development, or deeper self-awareness, I am here to assist you. Each assessment includes a detailed report and a follow-up session to ensure you have practical, actionable next steps. Beyond assessments, I offer social skills groups, executive function coaching, and autism consultations for schools and legal settings. I also provide individual therapy services rooted in a strength-based, neurodiversity affirming approach, using evidence-based techniques customized to fit your needs. My experience includes adapting therapy for autistic and neurodivergent individuals, as well as working with those who have been adopted or have experienced trauma, including sexual assault or chronic illness. I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens and work with you collaboratively to tailor treatment to help you set meaningful goals and achieve sustainable progress. I provide in-person services in New York City and telehealth sessions across New York and Pennsylvania. Contact me for a free 15-minute consultation to learn how I can support your journey toward growth and success and help you thrive.

I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, complex life transitions, interpersonal and gender-based violence and systems-related stressors. These experiences can all quietly reshape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we move through each day. Sometimes these experiences feel sudden and acute. Other times, they build slowly until something that once felt manageable starts to feel like too much. I also bring a unique lens from my background as a postpartum doula, where I supported birthing people and families through the emotional and physical transitions of early parenthood. My approach to therapy is relational, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe that each person's experiences and needs are unique, so I am less interested in delivering a formula and more interested in understanding what's actually going on for you. I work collaboratively with patients to create a space that feels supportive, genuine, and emotionally safe. Starting therapy for the first time can feel intimidating, vulnerable, or even emotionally draining. You don't need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy, and you also don't need to wait until things feel "bad enough" to deserve support. Therapy is a process, and it's okay if opening up takes time. It's important to remember that things can often feel harder before they start to feel better – that's not a sign something is wrong. The right therapeutic space will allow you to feel comfortable being honest at your own pace, without fear of judgment.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) and former corporate attorney, now based in New York City. I work with students, young professionals, and emerging leaders who often feel capable and accomplished on the outside but unsettled or stuck internally. I provide depth-oriented, relational therapy, helping clients explore patterns in relationships, identity, and emotional life. My work is informed by attachment, parts-based approaches (IFS), and somatic awareness, with extensive experience supporting trauma survivors. In our work together, I aim to create a reflective, safe space where you can explore what’s really behind the surface of your experiences, without manuals, homework, or pressure. I pay close attention to the relational dynamics between us, while giving you room to wander and discover. I work with adults, couples, and emerging adults, and I also facilitate two small support groups: one for male survivors of childhood sexual abuse and one for new therapists navigating their early clinical work.

Being a student can bring a lot of pressure, uncertainty, and emotional weight. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, or carrying pain that is hard to explain, you are not alone. I am here to support you and help you make sense of what you are experiencing in a way that feels honest and respectful. My approach is trauma informed, queer affirming, and non-more pathologizing. I believe your symptoms make sense in the context of your experiences. Together we will explore those patterns with care and curiosity, not judgment. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eastern philosophy to support healing, growth, and connection to your values. This work is always shaped by you, your story, your pace, and your goals. If you are ready to begin or just curious about starting, I would be happy to connect.

Starting with the "here and now," I tailor treatment to you, whether you are looking to change problematic behaviors, get along better with others, make a difficult decision, or develop greater confidence and peace of mind. I offer an integrated approach of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and DBT skills to facilitate change and growth. In addition to my experience addressing general life issues, I am very experienced in helping people specifically with addressing problem drinking and substance use.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship challenges, or the complexities of multicultural and minority identity, including those adjusting to life in the U.S. as immigrants or managing the pressures of being an international professional. In therapy, I provide a safe space to explore these experiences, understand patterns, and develop strategies for self-understanding and emotional regulation, helping clients move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life. I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, workplace burnout, relational conflicts, migration stress, and minority identity struggles. I help clients reconnect with their inner strengths and build healthier relationships. My focus includes international professionals, immigrants, and minority individuals. As psychoanalyst Nancy McWilliams writes, making mistakes and wishing we had done things differently is not a sign of pathology—it is part of the human condition. I bring this belief to my work, creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. 我与感到焦虑、关系困扰，或在多元文化与少数群体身份中经历迷茫困惑的个人、伴侣和家庭一起工作，包括那些作为移民在美国适应、扎根、生活或承受工作签证系统压力的国际专业人士。在治疗中，我提供一个安全的空间，让来访者探索自身经历、理解行为模式，并生发出自我理解与情绪调节的策略，帮助他们迈向更充实、真实的生活。 我专注于支持经历焦虑、抑郁、工作倦怠、关系冲突、迁移压力及少数群体身份困扰的来访者。我帮助来访者重拾内在力量，建立更健康的关系。我的服务对象包括国际专业人士、移民以及少数群体。 正如精神分析师Nancy McWilliams所说，犯错并希望自己当初做得不同，并不意味着有病理问题——这是人类的常态。我在工作中秉持着这样的信念，将其融入进一个让来访者感到被理解、支持和赋能，从而实现有意义改变的空间。

Life is not always easy. I’m here to support you through life’s challenges and obstacles with active and empathic listening, compassionate understanding, and assistance to build coping skills. I have worked with a diverse array of adolescents and adults to support them through life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, procrastination issues, sexual orientation and/or identity dilemmas, and overcoming traumatic situations and events. I am particularly passionate about supporting people through anxiety, life transitions and parenting challenges. My therapy style is warm, curious, and collaborative. Using a strengths-based, person-centered approach, I will listen to your story, meet you where you are, and work together to achieve your goals. My approach to therapy focuses on combining clinical skills and evidence-based practices with practical life experience. If you are struggling with the many stressors and difficult events that life often throws at us, or concerned that your feelings of anxiety are negatively impacting your life, now is the time to reach out. I aim to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and, working together, achieve your goals to live the life you want to live!

College can intensify anxiety, overthinking, and the pressure to get everything right. You may find yourself stuck in cycles of rumination, constantly seeking certainty about relationships, academics, career decisions, or how others perceive you. When your mind is always analyzing every possibility, it becomes harder to trust yourself, take action, and stay present. Over time, this can lead to avoidance, lower confidence, and feeling stuck in patterns that keep you from fully engaging in the life you want to build. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in anxiety (including GAD, OCD, panic, and social anxiety), depression, ADHD, and anger management. I also help individuals navigate relationship and family challenges and work- or school-related stress. Treatment is evidence-based and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical tools to reduce overthinking, manage difficult emotions, and build steady confidence that isn’t dependent on others’ approval, so you can move through college with greater clarity and confidence. Therapy is offered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making it convenient for busy student schedules. If this resonates, I invite you to schedule a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

I believe that each person wants to find fulfillment in life, and that through the therapeutic relationship, we can work together to achieve this goal. In today's world, there are so many pressures and obstacles that people face on a daily basis. I work to help people identify the factors that affect their lives, assist them in gaining insight into the causes of their problems, and develop real-life solutions to address problematic issues. I use techniques from various types of therapy to achieve this. I work to help people identify their strengths in order to increase resiliency and autonomy and develop growing self-respect. I specialize in treating couples, college students and young professionals, and individuals with borderline personality disorder. I have extensive training in emotionally-focused couples therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy, and I draw from these approaches to best treat each unique person and couple. Perhaps more than any other part of therapy or specific technique, I believe that my empathy, genuine care, and desire to help people are my greatest assets. I devote myself completely to my work and to the people I treat, and strive to make treatment as effective and meaningful as possible, with the continuous goal of creating progress in people's lives.

Hello! I'm Katie. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working in the mental health field for 4 years. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing life changes, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. I am dedicated to providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Together, we can work to develop coping strategies and deeper self-awareness. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to foster growth, healing, and resilience.

It can often feel daunting and challenging to ask others for help; however, I am glad you have ended up on my page and are looking for support at this point in your life. My hope as your future therapist is to help you emerge into the best version of yourself by helping you overcome some of the internal barriers that may be impacting how you perceive yourself, others, and the world. As a therapist, I like to approach my work with clients in a collaborative, exploratory, & conversational manner. I will also remain attuned to your unique experiences and intersecting identities (e.g., race, gender, sexuality) throughout our work. ​I have worked with clients on a wide breadth of concerns, including (but not limited to): anxiety, depression, career concerns, relationship concerns, family of origin concerns, identity exploration/development, & interpersonal concerns. I have experience working with undergraduate & graduate students, adults, and other mental health providers. **I am in-network with Aetna (NY, MD, & VA) and Anthem (NY).** I am an out-of-network provider for all other insurances. If you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance often will cover a large percentage of the session fee. I can provide a superbill for your sessions, which you can then submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and connected is key. Thus, I offer a complimentary phone consultation to help determine whether we might be a good match. If my approach resonates with you, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I have done psychotherapy with graduate students, especially around relationship, bereavement (particularly early parental loss), anxiety and fertility issues for over twenty years. I believe that most emotional pain stems from both difficult life circumstances and how we perceive those events. I work in an open, warm and empathically challenging way to help people better explore, understand and wrestle with the issues that are keeping them from finding more peace, joy, freedom and fulfillment.

The Rust Wellness approach to therapy is tailoring each session to fit the needs of the client and consistently reevaluating to meet their evolving issues and concerns. We know how difficult it is to open up about mental health topics, especially with a stranger, so we strive to establish a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages our clients to share their vulnerabilities. Trust is incredibly important in a therapist-client relationship, so we aim to create an environment that will facilitate our clients’ comfort.

Based on my experience, the students I work most effectively with often face similar challenges, especially as they adapt to college life and cope with stress or feeling overwhelmed. These individuals tend to find value in receiving support and guidance while adjusting to the demands of their new academic and social surroundings. I've found that my approach works best for those who are looking for practical ways to manage stress, improve time management, and build resilience in both academic and personal aspects of their lives. Through establishing a supportive and understanding therapeutic connection as well as medication management, my goal is to empower students to tackle their college journey with confidence and strength.

Being a college student—while also navigating identity, familial expectations, social anxiety, academic pressures, substance use, sex, sexuality, and questions about the future—can be a lot. I get it. With personal experience in many of these areas and professional experience supporting youth and young adults through trauma, mental health challenges, and life transitions, I know how overwhelming this stage can feel. My name is Eric Almond, LMSW, and I’ve worked with youth in community programs, outpatient clinics, and campus-based support spaces. I also know what it's like to return to school after some time away, and the challenges that inevitably follow. Whether you're new to school, returning, or continuing later in life, I aim to create a space that feels grounding, warm, and affirming—one where you don’t have to have it all figured out to be taken seriously. You're allowed to show up just as you are, and we’ll work from there. I offer a free fifteen minute virtual consultation to see if we're a good fit.

As a therapist and Licensed Master Social Worker, I help young adults, adults, and couples navigate attachment and relationship issues, anxiety, codependency, relationship issues, depression, trauma, OCD, and life transitions. I believe that the perspectives we hold make up our reality, which helps me meet people where they are without judgment and work toward realistic goals. I look forward to reflecting, analyzing, and learning about who you are and how you navigate the world during our time together. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and real to better guide you in developing greater self-awareness, building healthier relationships, and feeling empowered in your life. You are encouraged to achieve these goals in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment tailored to your unique needs, situations, and way of thinking. Your customized treatment may include attachment-based and patient-centered approaches to help you understand yourself and your experiences as well as develop practical tools for change. My path to becoming a therapist began with a strong interest in understanding people and their unique experiences and, in turn, how to support them through difficult moments in their lives. Through my work with children, teens, and families in crisis settings, I developed a deep commitment to providing empathetic, practical, and culturally responsive care. These unique experiences and perspectives allow me to bring genuine curiosity, therapeutic wisdom, and real discussion to each session. Outside of patient care, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies, from running and skiing to cooking and journaling.

My focus as a mental health counselor centers around uncovering or recovering your worth, wisdom, and creativity because it can get obscured by how brains and bodies sometimes operate. My role is similar to being a co-pilot: you're the one driving, and I'm here to help you find the best way to go. That path is personal and unique for everyone, but an ideal outcome for the people I work with is to grow toward dreams, get more out of life, and feel more comfortable being yourself.

Hi, I’m Destinee! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who supports young adults navigating anxiety, burnout, identity, and self-worth challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you’re becoming, I offer a warm, collaborative space to help you feel more grounded, confident, and clear. You're not alone—and therapy can help you find your way forward.

The Loom was created as a space that recognizes the interconnectedness between an individual’s struggles and their relationships. Life’s challenges can impact our relationships, and in turn, our relationships can either serve as a source of support or contribute to the challenges we face. The Loom aims to help clients address these issues by exploring how individuals’ struggles affect their relationships and vice versa, acknowledging the dynamic interplay between the two. This understanding forms the basis of our therapeutic approach, which seeks to support healing and growth within the context of these relationships. The most common reasons students come to see us are related to anxiety and depression, dating and relationship issues, academic or career related stress and burnout, gender and sexuality identity, disordered eating and body image, as well as cultural and identity focus. We offer individual and couples sessions in person in union square or online. We are also proud to offer sessions in Spanish.

Whatever the reason for your search; sadness, worry, anger, difficult relationships, life changes, substance use- I will join you where you are in order to assist you to get to where you want to be.
