Therapists for college students near New York, NY
We all can struggle with life transitions, among those are entering college and graduating. We also want a thriving life but can struggle with depressive thoughts, anxious thinking, grief or finding a sense of purpose. I aim to work with you to identify what gets in the way of a more fulfilling life and then to work together to figure out ways to better relate to difficult internal thoughts and feelings and external circumstances. I'm a collaborative therapist who knows that you are the expert when it comes ... to you. I want to serve as a guide. I like to have a bit of a sense of humor and encourage with an emphasis on finding your strengths and what matters most to you.
I’m a caring, outdoor loving, problem solving person at heart. I’m passionate about helping others feel alive, confident and encouraged. I have found many tools along my professional and personal journey to support people in managing painful emotions, de-escalating family and partner conflict and living a life informed, not run, by emotions. I’ve experienced how strong and complicated, messy and beautiful families can be. I’ve also seen how trauma, seemingly “small” or “large,” can affect a person and those closest to them, how it can empower and debilitate. Emotions can be confusing and they can also help cultivate our strengths. When it comes to facing painful emotions, people can sometimes feel alone, scared and hopeless, with nowhere to turn. There are resources, places, people and skills that can help. You don’t have to do this alone. I want you to know that it’s possible to find comfort and hope in the midst of loss, trauma, conflict or whatever challenge you may be facing. While I believe one of the most important factors in making therapy work for you is how you connect with your therapist, it’s also important you be given the tools and care to move you toward your goals. All too often I’ve seen how discouraged people become by mental health care and it’s my goal to provide a service that is routed in effective methods and treatment and a genuine, caring space for you to share and shape your story. I am committed to helping individuals and families get “unstuck” and lead you toward experiencing joy, genuine connection, hope and the ability to access your strengths, passions and resources. No matter what your age, socio-economic status, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or culture, mental health can affect us all; and sometimes these factors can unfairly make it even more challenging to navigate. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone to talk and heal.
Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist who believes in building relationships with my clients while using evidence-based practices to help each client achieve the changes that he or she is seeking to make. I am passionate about the "whole" person, taking a comprehensive, collaborative approach with services.

Hello! I offer in-person appointments at my office in Portland, Maine. I also provide video sessions to clients in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and participating PSYPACT states. I have 14 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students in college counseling center and outpatient settings. I love working with this population! My integrative approach to psychotherapy utilizes evidence-based skills-focused therapies (such as CBT) combined with a strong Psychodynamic (insight-oriented) framework. Treatment interventions are thoughtfully chosen to fit the particular needs of each individual client. Clients who tend to be a great fit are seeking help for: anxiety, depressed mood, feeling "stuck", adjusting to college, relationship concerns, improving communication, navigating dating and marriage, coping with stress, job dissatisfaction, grief from loss, chronic illness, health goals, substance use concerns, sleep issues, EMDR for past/recent traumas. I welcome you to reach out to me to discuss if we might be a good therapist-client fit. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to answer your questions and hear a bit about your personal therapy goals.
S H A D O W L I G H T CENTER is a holistic and alternative approach to traditional talk therapy. We offer sessions on Zoom. We are both POC as well as racial justice and LGBTQIA+ allies devoted to deconstructing systems of harm to humans and non-humans resulting from racial, heteronormative, and hierarchical power structures. We are licensed in New York to provide therapy and practice holistic help to people outside of New York State. We integrate the mind-body-spirit (this is not a faith-based approach). We are trauma-informed and create safe spaces for you to be heard for issues large and small that college students face both in and beyond college. We weave mindfulness, somatic awareness, ancestral healing, spiritual connection, finding purpose, grief counseling, energy balancing, post-psychedelic therapy integration, and more. We specialize in helping people understand how mental health issues like depression, anxiety, etc. are related to ancestral traumas, the pain present on the earth right now, as well as our personal histories. Conventional Western wisdom says it’s only about the self, i.e. a "chemical imbalance". But wellness is more complex and inter-connected than we have been made to believe. Reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Hi, I'm Kayla! My goal as a therapist is to guide my clients to learn various coping strategies to help them help themselves. I assist clients with building their toolkit to give them the necessary skills to help them better manage stress. I have experience helping children, teens and families through all different stages of life. As a part of the Insightful Paths Team, I am fully licensed in New York and able to serve any areas of NY by offering tele-health sessions. My approach to therapy is built around what works best for the client. I've worked with various ages in one-on-one or family sessions with focuses ranging from depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, RAD (reactive attachment disorder), and ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). The therapeutic interventions I use are rooted in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), and art therapy. While some clients prefer art/games, others may prefer strictly talk-based interventions; while others may prefer a combination. I look forward to working together so we can reach your individual or family goals!
I intend to help clients address their attachment and developmental trauma, often at the root of anxiety, depression, and other challenges, using NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model). Its heartfelt approach utilizes the shared human experience to support the client’s development and growth. . Within the modality’s framework, I create a collaborative environment where clients can reconnect to their heart’s desire as we address internal obstacles. In our exploration, the client finds healthier ways of relating to their self and environment.
When you have been at a low point for so long, it’s easy to be convinced that’s all there is. Instead of focusing on the negative, I look for strengths that will help you deal with challenges. We will also celebrate small victories. Sessions are full of high energy, enthusiasm, laughter, and positivity to motivate and pump you up. The focus is on what you do right and how you can believe in yourself again to be what you want. My office is a judgment-free zone. I will ask questions, listen intently, provide perspective, and give feedback. All to help you move forward. I understand you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of talking about yourself. It’s not always easy to do. My intention is for you to feel comfortable saying anything that comes to mind. It’s when you let their guard down that you can be your truest self and open to new possibilities. Everything I do is based on evidence about how the mind and body are connected and what you need to do in everyday situations to make them work for them – not against them. You are continuing to grow and adapt to new situations. It’s crucial to apply strategies that work at every stage. You can be assured that methods will be measurable, so you will “see” the progress you make.
Hello! I am a bilingual, trauma-informed, LGBTQ-affirming, multicultural, and humanistic therapist. I work with people with diverse identities and life experiences that have been impacted by mood disorders, health issues, discrimination, sexuality, gender, grief/loss, trauma/PTSD, stress, and life changes. I aim to provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to bring your concerns and together create the life you want to live. I have expertise using a wide range of psychotherapy approaches, from supportive to evidenced-based, in community mental health clinics, primary care settings, and medical centers. These clinical experiences have allowed me to witness and address a multiplicity of concerns. I have extensive experience working with depression and anxiety, identity development, LGBTQ+ issues, racial and ethnic minority stress, interpersonal and relational problems, health concerns (e.g. HIV, chronic pain), life changes, trauma/PTSD, among others. Addressing symptoms, bringing insight, developing coping mechanisms, and creating lifestyle changes are some of the many goals in therapy. Ultimately, I want to empower you to live the life you envisioned. I hope my warm and compassionate approach will assist you in this healing and vulnerable process called therapy. I look forward to working with you!
I'm a creative arts therapist trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. That's just a fancy way of saying that I help people work through overwhelming thoughts, feelings and experiences with a blend of talk, music, artmaking and mindfulness. I work with every client to figure out the right balance, but the goal is the same: helping you feel less overwhelmed so that you can live the life you'd always hoped you would.

Hi. I'm sorry you're struggling. Whatever's going on I encourage you to reach out. If we're a good fit, life will feel easier soon. The work will be both difficult and rewarding and is very worth while. Good therapy comes from safety and trust and both create healing. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
From the outside things may seem fine, even when on the inside we feel frustrated, dissatisfied, or lost. It can be hard to put this experience into words which makes it difficult to know how to start feeling better. My approach to therapy is focused on helping you better understand yourself and your struggles so you can take steps towards a life that is nourishing and meaningful for you. I strive to create a warm and supportive environment so we can work together to challenge what you’ve been told about how you’re “supposed” to be and identify the patterns that get in the way of your living the life you want to live. I am a licensed psychologist with expertise in both mental health and sport psychology. At my practice I provide psychotherapy for adults as well as sport psychology services for athletes and teams who want to develop the mental aspects of their performance. Whether I am working with people seeking growth through therapy or with athletes looking for more out of their sport, my favorite part of my job is seeing the transformation that takes place as people start to connect with themselves and trust their best qualities. If you think you would be interested in working with me, please get in touch!
I’m a good fit for students who get trapped in their head—overthinking everything, replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like they can’t relax unless everything is “handled.” You might be high-achieving, but constantly stressed, exhausted, or scared of messing up. Sometimes that turns into procrastination, avoidance, or feeling numb. In therapy, we’ll focus on helping you calm the mental noise, handle stress more effectively, and build confidence in your choices—so school and life don’t feel like a constant emergency.
