Therapists for college students near New York University
My practice focuses on helping people who want to get to know themselves better and change repetitive life patterns to improve their personal and academic lives. Many of the students, faculty, and administrators I work with have had anxiety, ADHD, or a history of trauma or loss that they need help working through in order to achieve at their optimal level and enjoy life more. I try to create a peaceful office environment in which to explore yourself and learn techniques for managing life better, inside and out. I believe the therapy relationship itself is important to experience so that you can connect with yourself in a different way. Growth comes from curiosity and freedom to express yourself in an empathetic, engaging, and knowledgeable setting. I invite you to visit my website for more detailed information.

She draws her approach from many sources including Depth Psychology, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems.

At their core, Anna views all these modalities as relational experiences— providing form and structure that allow clients to deepen the sacred relationship to self and others. Some of her areas of focus include complex trauma, somatic experiencing, emotional regulation, addiction in its many forms, divorce and life transitions, coparenting, the LGBTQIA community, eating disorders and chronic illness. Through all of these areas, and following her client’s lead, Anna brings a creative lens to therapeutic work—often intertwining art, writing, movement, nature, film and music into the healing process. She is also interested in helping clients create ceremony and ritual around the liminal spaces in their lives— be it professional transition, the start and end of relationships, birth and death, or recovery from addiction. Anna holds a BA in Creative Writing from the New School, a Masters of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary and a Masters of Social Work from Columbia University. She has worked as a Chaplin in a hospital, a counselor on Rikers Island and with Buddhist monks on end of life care. Through all these experiences, Anna draws on a simple truth: people desire to make meaning of their lives—no matter the circumstance.

Some days you’ve got it together. Other days, it feels like everything’s falling apart—classes, friendships, dating, or just trying to keep up. If stress, anxiety, or feeling down is making it tough to focus, connect with people, or feel like yourself, you’re not the only one. Therapy gives you space to talk it out—no pressure, no judgment—so you can figure out what’s really going on and start feeling more grounded and confident. I bring warmth, creativity, and a sense of humor into the room, because therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. If you’re ready to feel a little lighter—and a lot less alone—let’s get started.
Whether you are navigating a life transition, seeking to work through long-term issues and persistent patterns, or feeling stuck, I am here to support you in developing better ways of relating to yourself and others. I specialize in working with adults experiencing difficulties such as depression and anxiety, interpersonal challenges, professional issues, and identity and self-esteem concerns. I work primarily from a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic orientation and take an open-ended, exploratory approach. I believe this can help you develop insight about yourself and your experiences, sometimes in ways that have been outside your awareness, leading to greater self-acceptance and meaningful growth and change. I look forward to helping you become more curious about yourself and explore your inner life, and can consult with you to see if we would be a good fit.
Jiayi “Shao” Shao is a bilingual therapist with an international and multicultural background. She pursued her Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University. Having grown up in China, she believes in Tao, or the Way — the healing power that emerges as one learns to navigate the continuous flow of life with space and fluidity. She believes that fostering awareness and delving into various feelings, emotions, and sensations can assist individuals in resolving blockages that hinder a sense of freedom, ease, and deeper meaning in life. Passionate about the process of healing, growth, and rediscovery of self, Shao celebrates the courage of each and every individual choosing their own path. Acknowledging her intersectional identities as a person of color and a queer individual, Shao is passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. She utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy which includes psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR techniques. Her background as a Zen Buddhist and experience in improvisation theatre inspire a uniquely creative use of imagery, somatic work, metaphoric associations, and dream interpretation. She strives to create a warm, empathic, and reflective space that welcomes deeper questions, aiding individuals in reconnecting with their most authentic selves.
You’ve always been the one who holds it all together — dependable, driven, the go-to person when others need support. But lately, it might feel like the pressure to succeed is coming at the cost of your peace. You’re not alone in that feeling. I work with students who appear to be doing “just fine” on the outside, but underneath are carrying anxiety, self-doubt, and the weight of high expectations. Together, we’ll create space to explore how your past experiences, values, and internal narratives are shaping the way you move through the world — and gently question whether those patterns are still serving you. Therapy with me is relational, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. You don’t need to show up with the perfect words or a clear goal — just a willingness to begin.
