Therapists for college students near 10003

The majority of my clients come to therapy expressing feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and stuck. I help Clients work through their feelings and develop effective coping skills. Upon completion of therapy, clients walk away with a feeling of renewal and self-confidence to manage life's challenges and enjoy life.

I specializes in supporting adults dealing with challenges such as anxiety, procrastination, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Together, you'll learn effective and practical skills using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). For deeper healing, we can use Brainspotting to access and process deeply rooted beliefs and trauma, often beyond the reach of traditional talk therapy. My practice is located in New York and is completely remote.

Blue Harbor Psychotherapy is a virtual psychotherapy practice based in New York City whose primary goal is to provide a safe, supportive and comfortable space for clients to work through issues and challenges. We believe in a holistic, integrative and collaborative approach to mental health wellness. We also aim to remove the stigma around mental health. We believe that mental health matters and taking care of it should be priority for everyone.

I empower students pursuing graduate-level degrees to successfully navigate the balance between being a student and a young professional. Together, we establish boundaries in their personal and professional lives, skillfully manage family and romantic relationships, and strengthen their support systems. We eliminate negative thoughts, worries, and maladaptive habits, fostering a journey of growth and resilience.

I am passionate about guiding clients on their journey to be their better self. I utilize a person-centered, trauma informed, and empowerment approach when working with clients. It is important for clients to have access to a therapist who looks like them and/or is understanding of their cultural experiences. As a Black clinician that identifies as a cisgender woman, I prioritize working with Black clients in general and Black women and LGBTQI+ persons in particular. I strive to help clients re-reparent their inner child to heal childhood wounds, create boundaries to reduce anxiety, and explore emotions to better understand self. I always show up as my authentic self; and, I want you to feel comfortable to show up as your authentic self. My time with you will be dedicated to you having that session time to learn, be, and grow into your full self. Your session is a time to explore emotions, relationship patterns, coping skills, and ways to solve barriers/problems in your life. My goal is to assist individuals from marginalized communities navigate oppression, micro/macro aggressions, trauma, and lack of understanding from others. In addition, my goal is to work collaboratively with you to heal, restore, and empower yourself. We will work on creating your goals and treatment together. Be prepared to show up and do the work. :)

Hello, My name is Lauren Pezzo and I am the owner of Dedicated Peace. I am a solo practitioner seeing clients remotely. I treat a variety of ages from 13 - 55+ and I am most familiar with Mood Disorders (Depression, Anxiety, Bi-Polar, Panic, etc). I have worked with individuals with a history of trauma be it recent or in the past. I do well with relationship issues, couples sessions and handling familial conflict. I am very big on clients learning to change their narrative. Meaning being open to changing the various stories we tend to tell and sell ourselves over the years. I want to help people think in the grey area of life and be open to challenging narrow thinking we may have become accustomed to.

I support individuals to navigate through stressors and life transitions. I help individuals to enhance communication skills to foster empowerment while strengthening confidence in their ability to create positive change. My goal is to support you to empower yourself to make informed decisions that align with your values and desired outcomes. I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution Focused and Strengths Based approaches to remain action oriented, collaboratively working towards your goals. I support clients with developing awareness and viewing the big picture. For me therapy is the work that you do outside of the session time. The mindful & intentional efforts you make to reflect & apply new skills as well as new perspectives to your day-to-day experience; that's where the change will really take place. The work I do with my clients is often centered around Self-Love; being able to nurture acceptance of your true self is often the key to alleviating a vast number of concerns and challenges. I feel passionate about supporting individuals & couples to re-define their boundaries & take ownership of their identity. Collaboration is the key to success!

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way!

Hello, I’m Stephanie! I'm here to help you on your journey to mental, physical, and emotional wellness. In my skillset, I incorporate the arts, mindfulness, and evidence-based behavioral techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I believe in getting your needs met through learning how to manage oneself through day-to-day functioning, as well as finding balance in our emotions.

I chose social work because I believe in helping the whole person. I recognize that we are all shaped by the environments and systems we live in, and I use this broader perspective in our work together. I specialize in adolescent, and emerging adult mental health, I have 6 years of experience supporting children, teens, and families across various settings, including schools and home-based services. Adolescence and emerging adulthood are periods of intense change, and my priority is offering a safe, non-judgmental space where young people can feel heard and truly understood. My therapeutic style is grounded in strength-based approaches and trauma-informed care. We might explore things using psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns, read and discuss books, music, and poetry through Bibliotherapy, or just have an open, honest talk therapy session. My approach is always about meeting people exactly where they are.

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in anxiety, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic attacks, and social anxiety, as well as depression and ADHD. I also support college students navigating academic stress, overthinking, self-doubt, perfectionism, social and relationship challenges, and balancing school, work, and personal responsibilities. I integrate evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you achieve your goals. You’ll develop practical tools to respond differently to unhelpful or intrusive thoughts, cope with uncertainty, manage intense emotions, and build a life that feels meaningful, enjoyable, and grounded. Our work focuses on lasting change, not just short-term relief. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and down-to-earth. Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand yourself, develop practical skills, and work toward your personal, academic, and professional goals. Sessions are offered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making it easy to fit therapy into your busy schedule.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at HOClinical, I work best with students who are high-achieving, driven, and carrying more than they let people see. Many of the students I support are balancing academics, work, family expectations, and relationships — while quietly dealing with anxiety, low mood, burnout, ADHD, sleep problems, or feeling overwhelmed. Some are struggling to focus. Others feel stuck, unmotivated, or not like themselves anymore. Many say, “I should be able to handle this,” but feel exhausted trying. If you’re a student who wants practical tools, clear guidance, and a provider who truly listens without judgment, we’re likely a good fit. I offer a supportive, down-to-earth approach that combines thoughtful medication management (when appropriate) with real strategies you can use right away to feel better, think clearly, and perform at your best. You don’t have to wait until you’re in crisis to get support. If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, HOClinical is here to help.

Many of the students I work with are used to pushing through, even when they're overwhelmed. They may be questioning their career path, struggling with perfectionism, procrastination, people pleasing, or feeling like they're falling behind while everyone else seems to have life figured out. Others are navigating ADHD, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or family stress. As a college professor and psychologist, I understand the unique pressures students face and help them better understand the patterns that keep them stuck, build confidence in their decisions, and develop a stronger sense of who they are both in and outside of the classroom.

I believe in community care, liberation, growth, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. The trauma we experience can make us feel so disconnected and dissociated while also craving connection and warmth. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. Through understanding our intersectional identities, we can start to process and unpack the ways we struggle to show up for ourselves and each other. Healing is a process that takes time, authenticity, and gentle care. My experiences and work are shaped by my identities, how I create and sustain joy, and community. I find it incredibly fulfilling to continuously build relationships through empathy, curiosity, and compassion. My areas of focus include trauma, relationships, life transitions, grief, polyamory/non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, and other alternative lifestyles. I am a queer, trans/nonbinary, neurodivergent, 2nd generation Chinese American. My approach is rooted in liberation and relational work through anti-oppressive and social justice lenses. I draw from modalities such as psychodynamics, somatic work, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. Please reach out for a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.

College can be exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming and uncertain at times. I often work with students who feel weighed down by the pressures of school, relationships, and figuring out their next steps in life. Many of my clients want to feel more confident and at ease but find themselves stuck in stress or self-doubt. I offer a welcoming space where you can talk openly, sort through challenges, and learn practical ways to feel more grounded and connected in your daily life. I look forward to meeting you!

Every client has unique stories and needs. I blend clinical expertise with a compassionate environment rooted in empathy, trust, and collaboration. I have extensive experience assisting clients in navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I don't believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Together, we will work to identify the issues and goals most important to you. To help you achieve meaningful growth, I tailor aspects of CBT, ACT, and DBT, including mindfulness and distress tolerance skills, to your unique situation. I believe the relationship between the client and therapist is critical for healing. I will work to encourage, support, and guide you as you make your own choices and lead your own progress. I invite you to reach out for a consultation to see if we are a good match for the goals you want to achieve.
