Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Karlee Cousins
Hi! I work best with clients who are figuring out who they are, where they belong, and how to navigate stress, relationships, and big life changes. Many of the people I support come from multicultural, multiracial, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, or immigrant backgrounds, and are looking for a space where all parts of their identity are understood and respected. You might be dealing with anxiety, family pressure, identity questions, or feeling overwhelmed balancing everything. Some clients I work with are also navigating the impact of immigration experiences, acculturation stress, or racial trauma, whether from personal experiences, family history, or systemic challenges. These experiences can shape how you see yourself and move through the world, and you do not have to process them alone. You do not have to have it all figured out. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and find ways to move forward that feel right for you. In sessions, we will look at both the deeper parts of your story and practical tools to help you feel better day to day. I often use a mix of approaches, including exploring patterns from your past, building coping strategies, and working on how your thoughts and feelings connect. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your lived experience. I aim to create a space where you feel safe being fully yourself, no pressure, no judgment, just support as you grow, heal, and navigate this stage of life.
Taking Care of Me, LCSW, PLLC
I am a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience in individual, couples, group and family therapy. I believe in a strengths based treatment approach. I collaborate with clients to strengthen their ability to cope with stressors in a healthy and positive way. If you are experiencing any of the following: school issues, relationship issues, family issues, divorce, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, anger, work issues, communication issues, etc., I can help provide you with some tools and support to help reduce the issues and symptoms you are feeling. I offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation. In this free consultation, I will ask you a few questions and you can ask me any questions you may have before we schedule an actual intake session. I do offer a sliding scale fee. I accept some out of network benefits. I realize there is a great need for mental health services so I try to be flexible as possible. I will respond promptly to anyone who reaches out. I look forward to working with you and helping you accomplish your goals!
Krystal Haas
Welcome! I'm Krystal Haas, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). You may see letters next to the names you find on your search, like LCSW, PsyD, or LMHC, and so on. Looking for a therapist can be a daunting and confusing task, so first I'd like to congratulate you on taking your first step. I'm hoping I can make it a little easier by sharing about myself and how I may be able to help you reach your goals. In my case, as an LMHC, my master's degree education was geared specifically to counseling and learning all of the skills necessary to work directly with people. I've been working for about 5 years now as a clinician, and started my private practice at the end of 2022 - one of the best decisions I've ever made! I work with a variety of ages including kids, teens, and young adults, and I often work with individuals who are struggling with the transition to college and/or adulthood. If you've been experiencing anxiety, depression, changes in mood, identity exploration, stress, or problems with "adulting", then we may be a good match! I use methods like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and eclectic methods, but that may all sound like gibberish. Essentially, I take an educational and supportive approach by listening to your concerns and needs, and then working with you to establish a way to reach your goals. Even if we don't have all the answers right away, it can help to know you have someone on your team to listen. If this sounds up your alley, you're more than welcome to reach out by phone or email to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I hope to connect, and wish you best of luck on your search!
Tracy Garay, LCSW

Let us work together to build a positive connection between how you feel, where you are, and where you see yourself. Short-term, goal-oriented therapy is available. Or, perhaps you would prefer to delve deeper into the who, the why, and the how of things. With either modality, you can expect to be met with respect, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.

Amanda Amodio
With more than 17 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping adolescents, families, and adults navigate chronic stress, illness, loss, trauma, relational health, and life transitions. Whatever form difficulty takes in your life, my goal is to help you find equilibrium, develop new coping strategies, reduce stress, and move toward an improved experience of health and well-being. I believe in the strength of the therapeutic relationship and bring my genuine authenticity to every part of this process. It takes real courage to seek help, and I want you to feel that courage met with care. From our first session, I'm committed to building a strong connection so we can collaborate closely and I can fully understand your needs. If you're ready to take that step, I invite you to reach out so we can begin this journey of discovery toward healing and growth together. I believe in treating the whole person from a biopsychosocial and mind-body-spirit perspective. That means taking into account your identity, culture, beliefs, purpose, relationships, and environment, not just the presenting concern. My approach is evidence-based, insight-driven, and solution-focused, built around helping you find meaning in adversity and apply new skills to improve your health, well-being, and quality of life. Together, we'll gain awareness of your unique strengths and use them to better understand your circumstances. From there, we'll co-create goals and plans for facing challenges with clarity and a greater sense of ease. To support that work, I draw on a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, identity-affirming, and psychodynamic approaches. Throughout it all, you can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the direction of care is always shaped by your needs. My path to becoming a therapist began in a hospital setting, working alongside people living with serious illness. Witnessing how illness affected patients' emotional health, their family relationships, and their understanding of their own care had a profound impact on me. Watching people from different cultural backgrounds seek emotional support during some of the most stressful moments of their lives — and exploring what kinds of services were available to them — deepened my commitment to culturally responsive mental health care. These experiences are the foundation of how I practice today. I bring an awareness of cultural differences and a genuine focus on each person's unique perspective and preferences to every session, tailoring treatment to what matters most to you. In my spare time, I'm drawn to the outdoors. Swimming, long walks, and photographing nature are all ways I stay connected to the world around me. I also play percussion, love live music, seek exploration and travel to learn more about different cultures and try new foods from around the world, and find joy in spending time with family and friends.
Susanna Guarino
I'm a zen practicing therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their most authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, acceptance and presence connect us to who we really are, and who we can become. Along the journey, I've played a lot of music (with friends, in bands) and become a therapist. I wrote an album while in grad school and took a year off after grad school to play shows and work at a record store. I believe it's OK to have multiple passions, to want to do a lot of things, to use your voice, and to take your time figuring it all out. In our work together, I want to help you tap into your own creativity and inner wisdom while also drawing from evidence-based modalities to help you live a purposeful life, deepen your relationships, and reach your goals as a couple or as an individual. LGBTQI affirming. Puedo hablar contigo un poco de español, pero no puedo hablar con fluencia.
Samantha Borgida
You're out on your own and somehow now expected to juggle classes, deadlines, social plans you don’t even have the energy for, and the constant pressure to ‘be better.’ Maybe you’re asking yourself: Am I falling behind? Am I doing enough? Why does this feel so much harder for me than everyone else? I work with ambitious students and young adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, trauma, and life transitions - like starting college, moving out of the dorms or from college to career, adjusting to grad school, shifting friendships, or figuring out what adulthood is even supposed to look like. In therapy, we’ll untangle what’s keeping you stuck and build tools that actually work in real life. You don’t have to be falling apart to get support. If you look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you’re overthinking, panicking, or numb to it all, I get it. Together, we’ll find your middle ground where you can grow, slow down without losing your flow, and align your actions with your goals and values.
