Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Many students I work with are navigating big changes, whether it’s adjusting to college life, managing anxiety or OCD, or trying to find balance in relationships and daily routines. You might feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or worry about not having things “figured out.” In our work together, we’ll create a supportive space to better understand your story, identify what’s been keeping you stuck, and build tools that bring more clarity, confidence, and calm to your daily life. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and that’s okay. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and get a sense of whether we’d be a good fit. When you’re ready, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can best support you.

Finding the right therapist is an important and thoughtful process. You want to find someone who ‘gets’ you, and who you can trust to be straightforward with you about your role in problems, and what steps you need to take. You want a person with solid credentials and experience, yet who is open, willing to listen, and who will consider a variety of treatment options with you. Clients have told me they appreciate my straightforwardness and compassion. I would characterize myself as contemplative and thoughtful, yet I am not the kind of therapist who will leave you ‘on the couch’ while I utter “mm-hmm”. I like to balance insight with concrete information and skills you can use to work between sessions. My goal is to foster respectful and collaborative partnerships with clients who are motivated to make changes in their lives. Being a psychologist has special meaning to me, and I care deeply about my work. I hope this offers helpful information as you search for your therapist, and would welcome you to contact me for a consultation.

Life is hard. For many of us, we often become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, fear, you name it. To make things worse, we experience trauma and discover that some of our deepest wounds come from our relationships. Of course, we want to protect ourselves from relationships, change, and the unknown. I get that. From working in schools, residential facility, and private practice setting, I've learned that there is also something inside each of us that yearns for healing, loving connection, and pure joy. So, what is getting in the way? Let's explore that together. I have a non-judgmental and compassionate approach when providing counseling for individuals. What that means is I relate to you as another imperfect human being who understands the impact of trauma, life transitions, stress, anxiety and several other factors that affect our day-to-day lives. I will offer you a space to freely explore your struggles and opportunities for healing. Let’s be real, we don’t know each other and it’s going to feel weird at first to share your story with me. I thank you for even considering. Sometimes the hardest step is the first one. I recognize and respect that. Whenever you’re ready, I am ready to join you. You don't have to figure it out on your own.

I'm Lex E Santí. Therapist. Writer. Professional overthinker. If you’ve ever tried to “just relax” and immediately thought of seventeen reasons why that’s impossible — you’re my kind of person. I work with people sorting through relationships, anxiety, creative blocks, and the general weirdness of being human. My sessions mix curiosity, structure, and the occasional well-timed eye roll at life’s absurdities. Before private practice, I spent years in crisis intervention and higher ed mental health. Now, I help clients rewrite their stories — with more agency, more humor, and fewer plot holes. Licensed in NY and DE. Individual and group sessions available.

With my clients, I like to create a warm, safe, welcoming, and trusting environment where individuals can feel comfortable with me and share all that they need to. I will meet someone where they are at, and establish goals together. My main goal is to empower individuals to meet their goals and to improve their overall mental health and wellness!

I specialize in working with young adults navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism and relationship challenges. You might be feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, even if things look “fine” on the outside. Maybe you find yourself constantly taking care of others while your own needs go unmet. My goal is to offer a space where you feel seen and supported as you explore patterns that are keeping you stuck and reconnect with what matters most to you.

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.
