Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Hello! I specialize in working with emerging adults on a variety of issues, such as: adjusting to college, managing relationships, exploring identity issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, sexuality, sexual assault, strained relationships with parents, stress, anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorders. I also have extensive training in DBT and I am about to start a remote DBT support group. I am licensed in CT & NY. I am also a yoga instructor and explore fostering the mind/body connection.
Specializing in providing support for college students and young adults experiencing difficult life transitions that include developmental struggles, family dysfunction and mental health concerns. The transition from adolescents to adulthood can be fraught with barriers and as a strengths based, holistic clinician, my goal is to assist you in becoming a healthier and more resilient person.
YOU’RE NOT LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT TO BE LIVING. You’re unhappy, but you’re not sure why. At times, we can feel lost, numb, and disconnected from ourselves. There can be many reasons for this, and through our work together, we will understand what these are and how to reconnect, to live a vibrant, fully embodied life. Perhaps, no matter how many times you talk about past trauma, it still feels raw. Something isn’t healing. SOME PART STILL FEELS STUCK. It’s been my experience that trauma lives in the body, as well as the mind, and when we treat only the thoughts or the pictures in our heads, the deepest part of what is hurt sometimes isn’t heard. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, particularly childhood sexual abuse, in techniques that reach the whole self, such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and will work together to heal the past so that you can live fully in the present as a whole and empowered self. HAVING A NEW BABY can bring with it the highest highs and the lowest lows. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, and scared, and that you’re doing it wrong. Parenthood is a time of growth, but also an adjustment period, maybe the biggest we have ever faced! AS A MOTHER MYSELF, I understand this journey, and through my past work and training in perinatal loss and mood disorders, am here to help you navigate this time, and feel stronger as a result. Any transition into a new time of life, be it as a college student, first-time parent, or navigating midlife, there is the potential for creativity and growth, but uncertainty, anxiety, and fear as well. I’M HERE TO HELP YOU THROUGH THESE TIMES OF CHANGE. My approach is collaborative, creative, and individualized. Just as every fingerprint and person is unique, it’s my belief that every therapy should be as well.

The focus of my work is helping young people, adults, and couples respond to and manage feelings that negatively impact life, relationships, and work. I have successfully helped many young adults work through and solve problems coping with transitions and life adjustments. As a clinical social worker and psychotherapist in community mental health settings in NYC and the Hudson Valley, I have helped people experiencing acute symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress, among other problems. I specialize in supporting people in their relationships with others but also with themselves. My clinical work focuses on addressing emotional needs and how these are expressed outwardly but also implicitly, in ways that often go unnoticed. My therapeutic approach is influenced by both psychodynamic psychotherapy and emotionally-focused therapy, two experiential techniques in which I have begun training. I specialize in supporting people in their relationships with others, but also with themselves. Often, it is helpful to center emotional needs. Together we will explore how these needs are expressed outwardly, but also implicitly, in ways that often go unnoticed.

It is not uncommon to feel "trapped" in your own skin and feel out of control. This feeling overflows & disrupts our relationships, work/school, sleep, diet, exercise, finances & life goals. Desperation can cause us to reach for temporary solutions like fad diets, overworking, food restriction, over using substances & unhealthy relationships. You aren't meant to be at war with yourself everyday. Within therapy we will work on managing symptoms, finding the roots of your pain and healing where they originated using "parts" work & memory reconsolidation. I provide a safe place for you to be truly "heard" which is often underestimated. I specialize in disordered eating/body image issues using a HAES (Health at Every Size) approach. I work with people of all sizes as disordered eating does not discriminant. Other areas of specialty include grief, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, life changes and hormonal issues. It's common for these struggles to overlap. I understand how difficult it can be finding the "right" therapist. I believe in the power of human connection to be a strong component of therapy. I am humbled everyday by the trust my clients put in me to help them succeed. I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have which can be scheduled via email. Thank you for your time!

I am a licensed psychologist and I support individuals and couples facing trauma-related mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and a wide range of identity concerns. At the heart of my work, I create empathic connections with the individuals I work with—creating spaces for them to explore and express all of themselves, and to feel seen, understood, and connected while doing so. Broadly, my approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping you understand what’s holding you back and develop new ways of being that foster empowerment, authenticity, and meaningful change. I work from a psychodynamic, trauma-informed perspective, which means we will explore how your experiences in your family, community, and culture have shaped how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world. I will encourage you to bring a curious developmental lens to our work and deeply consider the coping strategies you may have had to develop in your life in order to feel safe, connected to others, and worthy. Together, we will determine if these strategies are still helpful. When they aren't, we will creatively develop newer ways of being that feel meaningful and aligned with your goals. Throughout this process, we will be particularly attentive to the impact of socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors on your development and possible connections to present day challenges. I also regularly draw from somatic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, because lasting change often requires attending to the body, our narratives, and our behavioral patterns. Through this process, many people come to recognize unhelpful cycles in their lives and discover more fulfilling ways to move through challenges. Above all, I emphasize self-compassion as we work together, so that you can approach difficult or painful areas of your life with greater kindness and resilience.
