Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Regardless of what you've been through in the past, I believe anyone can benefit from talking to a mental health professional. Collaborating with a counselor can help provide thought provoking insights, allow you to move through problem solving more quickly, and leave you feeling more fulfilled and motivated to reach your desired goals. I offer a non-judgmental standpoint. I feel, it is important to feel heard, validated and supported throughout the counseling process. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression and trauma in any age group. I also have had valuable experience in working with individuals, who have experienced any form of domestic violence. The client and clinician relationship is incredibly important. A good fit should be prioritized, in order to reach a deeper level of meaningful change. I welcome you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me by either calling or emailing the contact details provided above.
Hello there, I'm Yolanda, Are you struggling with day to day tasks? Do you feel overly consumed with your thoughts? Are you losing meaningful relationships? Well, I'm here to assist you with managing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, and schizophrenia. As a team, we can identify issues and attack them from a medicinal standpoint. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, it will be my goal to advocate for you who struggles to be heard or respected, and to manage your treatment with compassion, understanding, and attention to holistic care.
Jung said “We don’t get wounded alone and we don’t heal alone.” Meaning everything that is hurt within a relationship must be healed within one. As a therapist, I believe in deep relational work, whether that is in an individual setting or with a parent-child dyad/triad. I am not about “quick fixes” and believe that the best results come with time and curiosity. I work with both adults as well as caretakers of children alongside their child. I worked a significant portion of my career in a state setting, which has informed my approach as being anti-behavioral, conscious of the impact of systems, and recognizing the importance of our upbringing in our future wellness.
Are you struggling to manage your emotions and navigate relationships? Are you stuck in a cycle of anxiety that you can't seem to escape? Do you have difficulty setting boundaries and find yourself frequently putting your needs aside for others? We will work together to help you better understand your emotions and behaviors. Through this work, you will learn coping skills to utilize during the stressful moments of life. My areas of focus in practice include anxiety, perfectionism, depression, ADHD, OCD, relationship issues and chronic health issues.
My clients usually approach me when they are ready to make a change in their lives. They are experiencing conflicts, inside themselves or with others, and are looking for an empathic, flexible and dynamic clinician to provide support and guidance. With clients and within myself, I emphasize maintaining mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health and wellness practices, as well as, feelings of HOPE and self acceptance. My clients and I are both “agents of change,” constantly progressing, and continuously developing through this journey called life. I am currently licensed and practicing in the state of California and New Jersey. I also have a permit to practice in New York supervised by Dr. Melissa Laracuenta- Hernandez.
Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards meeting with a therapist! You feel that that you don't have a good sense of who you are. You behave in different ways around your friends, family members, and colleagues. It's hard for you to keep your emotions in check and at times you feel your emotions are out of control. As a result, you react in ways that make things more challenging for yourself and others. Your relationships often have conflict, friends don't seem to stick around, and you can't figure out why. You wonder if you're doing something wrong and if there is something you can do differently. You question why things at home, with work/school, or with relationships can't be easier. When you try to handle these problems, it seems like things only get better for a little while, or they just get worse. I help clients figure out what truly matters most to them in life; assist clients in learning how to connect with and live in the present moment; support clients in finding ways to handle intense emotions, respond in ways that don't erupt their relationships, and to weather through the tough times.
I have been working in the outpatient setting for over 10 years. I've rotated through a student mental health clinic during my training and have worked with many college aged students. College can be an exciting time of change and growth and finding purpose and connection. College can also be a big adjustment, as you acclimate to a new setting, new responsibilities and being away from home for an extended period, sometimes for the first time. It is often during these big life changes that you may need a little extra help settling in, getting into new routines. Through a combination of therapy and careful use of medication, we can work on getting you in a place to fully engage in and enjoy your college experience.
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.
