Performing for everyone while quietly struggling underneath is exhausting — and it's one of the most common things nobody talks about on campus. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, substance use, or just a relentless inner critic, you don't have to keep managing it alone. I'm also a credentialed substance abuse counselor (CASAC), which means I can offer specialized, judgment-free support for anyone questioning their relationship with substances or navigating recovery in a high-pressure environment — no labels required. My space is direct, warm, and built around your actual life. You don't have to wait for a crisis to reach out. Let's stop the performance and start building something real. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Northwell Direct in NY only, and out of network with all other major insurance companies in NY and FL. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to ensure the process is seamless. I also offer a sliding scale rate for those in need. Please reach out to learn more about how we can make therapy work for you.

Steven is a Licensed Clinician Social worker and former teacher with a focus on truly connecting with clients and understanding their unique needs. He became a therapist because he saw too many people struggling to be heard, understood, or find tools that actually improve their lives. Over the years, he's developed practical, proven approaches that have helped many clients move forward. Steven typically works with young adults struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, and life transitions/habits they wish to change.

I provide therapy through WellQor, offering convenient online counseling for college students and young adults throughout New York. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or life changes, and they're looking for a space where they can be honest about what they're experiencing without fear of judgment. I especially enjoy working with students who are exploring their identity, adjusting to new environments, navigating transitions, or struggling with feelings of sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply want to better understand yourself, therapy can help you build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and create a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals. I believe some of the biggest periods of growth happen during times of transition and self-discovery. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, exploring your experiences, and developing tools to support your emotional well-being. WellQor accepts most major insurance plans, making quality mental health care more accessible. I'd be honored to support you as you work toward feeling more confident, balanced, and connected in both college and everyday life.

Do you feel like you have little control over your thoughts? Do you have difficulty sharing and making sense of your feelings? These issues may be the result of limited self-awareness, and/or challenges managing and regulating your emotions. These challenges can sometimes lead to difficulty managing conflict in your relationships with others whether at home/work/socially. Seeking support through therapy is an excellent first step. Therapy can help you gain insight and awareness on how past experiences affect your current relationships and behavior patterns. As a first-generation Indian female, I have a unique perspective on culture and family dynamics. I understand the importance of cultural/social elements in one’s development and perception. Through these experiences, I have learned that therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” modality but instead must take into consideration each person’s unique background. I serve young adults of all backgrounds. I am particularly interested in helping those struggling with anxiety, ADHD, body dysmorphia, depression, and attachment issues. In addition, I serve people dealing with cultural trauma.

Hi, I'm Stacey, and I have been a therapist for more than twenty years. I work with teens, young adults, older adults, couples, and families, and over that time I have walked alongside people facing just about every kind of life and mental health challenge. My approach is holistic, which means we look at how your mental, physical, and spiritual health connect, because that fuller picture often opens up solutions that are hard to find any other way. I will meet you with dignity, warmth, and respect, and I will hold a safe space where you can explore, grow, and figure out what balance looks like for you. Many people arrive feeling stuck or in distress, and I like to remind my clients that even in the middle of a struggle there is real room to grow into the best version of yourself. I genuinely love listening to people's stories and helping them move toward their goals. I see clients through WellQor, where I provide therapy entirely online, so we can meet from wherever you feel most comfortable. If you would like to begin working together, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you with the next steps and help get you on my schedule. I cannot wait to learn more about you.

Hi, I'm Marie. Life has a way of handing us more than we feel ready for, whether it is a loss, a change you did not choose, or a worry that just will not quiet down. When you are in the middle of it, you do not have to carry it alone. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, and I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and family conflict. Across schools and community settings, one thing has stayed true for me: everyone has a story, and every story deserves curiosity instead of judgment. I will meet you where you are and help you build on the strengths you already have, drawing on CBT, solution-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. What matters most is that our time together feels safe, honest, and genuinely yours. I promise to honor your story, celebrate your progress, and walk alongside you the whole way. I see clients through WellQor, which offers online therapy so we can connect from wherever works for you. To begin, visit the WellQor website and complete the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you the next steps and help set up your first appointment. I look forward to meeting you.

I am glad you are here. College can be really overwhelming, confusing, and empowering. To process these feelings and maybe dilemmas, you just need someone to hold space for you. I enjoy guiding college students through life’s complexities—whether you are navigating college stressors, anxiety, process addiction or substance use, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or major career & life transitions. I understand how deeply our environments, relationships, and internal worlds are connected as students. Before my work as a counselor, I supported college students as a career counselor, success coach, learning strategies tutor, and administrator for 20+ years. I hold Master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (St. John Fisher University) and Human Resource Development (RIT). To support the whole person, my integrative approach combines evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused work with trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and somatic practices. I can guide clients to connect the mind and body to regulate the nervous system and build lasting resilience. Counseling doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or intimidating. I enjoy integrating humor, practical metaphors, and a strengths-based focus to help you move from simply surviving to genuinely thriving.

I work best with college students who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain as they navigate school, relationships, and the transition into adulthood. Many of the students I support struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, setting boundaries, balancing responsibilities, or feeling pressure to have everything figured out. I enjoy working with students who want to better understand themselves, build confidence, develop healthier relationships, and feel more grounded in who they are. Whether you are adjusting to college, navigating a difficult transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to work through what you are experiencing and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

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.

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.

Breanna is a holistic, person-centered therapist with a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection and a genuine passion for making every client feel truly seen, honored, and empowered. Known for her warmth, compassion, and affirming presence, Breanna creates a space that feels safe, collaborative, and completely judgment-free, where each person's unique identity and story is celebrated, not just acknowledged. Her approach is grounded in holistic, person-centered values, with a deep commitment to building authentic, compassionate therapeutic relationships.

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.
