Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Choosing a therapist is an important and deeply personal decision, and my goal is to offer a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood. I work with individuals who are navigating complex trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, worry, or sadness. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in cycles they can’t quite name, carrying burdens they’ve held alone for far too long. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and build a path toward relief, clarity, and meaningful change. My approach is collaborative, trauma‑informed, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. I draw from evidence‑based modalities including DBT, CBT, & ACT, while tailoring each session to your unique needs and strengths. I incorporate psychoeducation, skills training, and optional between‑session “homework" to help you apply what we discuss in real time. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or the long‑term impact of trauma, you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re curious about whether we might be a good fit, I welcome you to reach out. When you’re ready to feel more connected, grounded, and understood, I’m here to help.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy. ABOUT ME: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and New York with over 15 years in the field. I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008. My areas of study was Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Creative Arts Therapy. I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. It’s like dating, you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you. I work primarily with individuals and unfortunately am not accepting couples into my practice at this time. I build resilience by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression, life's ups and downs, be it learning to be kinder to yourself or learning to manage feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct. I welcome your mess. We can sort through the piles together and see if we can't come out with some gold.

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.

Maybe you are trying to understand your pain, and what you can do about it. Sometimes you might feel empty and numb, or you might feel flooded with overwhelming and difficult feelings.

Healing will mean challenging yourself to sit with painful feelings and face your fears. It will be helpful for you to find a safe place to do this hard work.

Hello my name is Gina. My experience is extensive in working with those experiencing depression, anxiety, postpartum, relational issues, stress & anger management, grief & loss, ADD, conflict with life direction & transitions. My approach is warm, empathetic and supportive. I am interactive and will give feedback, ask questions and also challenge you at times in areas to gain greater insight and growth. Asking for help can feel difficult, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to do it alone! I am here to help you navigate these areas, grow and heal. I attended NYU for my masters & EU for my bachelors. My training is in psychodynamic theory and my style reflects this by utilizing an eclectic therapeutic approach. I also believe the therapeutic relationship can be an important part of healing. I think it’s important to understand why we do what we do but also provide practical tools to cope as well. Therapy can be an effective tool in the healing process and can help people gain insight and control over otherwise overwhelming circumstances. I believe in an approach which works at a pace that you determine and are comfortable with. I like to offer feedback and reflection and explore both the underlying emotions and roots to behaviors and feelings.

I believe that being in therapy is about creating space for positive change. When we can slow down and make room for ourselves, we can grow and create lasting adjustments that make our lives more balanced and enjoyable. I work collaboratively with clients, providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore issues, problem solve, navigate life transitions, develop new and creative coping skills, and strengthen one’s relationship with themselves and with others. I specialize in helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction recovery. I also work extensively with artists of all kinds who are experiencing creative blocks or stagnation in their art/creative practices and life. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art materials and the creative process to help people express, process, and integrate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Art therapy is for everyone, not just people who identify as artists or have experience with the visual arts. Clients see me for talk therapy and or art therapy. All sessions are tailored to the preferences and goals of my clients. My approach is holistic and person-center, integrating traditional talk therapies and art therapy with mindfulness/body-based practices. I am a patient and compassionate therapist, who values humor and direct communication, dedicated to supporting my clients in their healing process and personal growth, enacting the changes they desire to see within themselves.

My practice involves first taking time to establish comfortability and trust. From there, I introduce everyone to a variety of approaches depending on what suits their needs helps then meet their goals.

Are you seemingly okay on the outside, but uncomfortable and anxious underneath? Do relationships with family, friends, or romantic partners feel stressful? Perhaps you are struggling to figure out your path in college or after graduation? It’s really hard to navigate relationships and decisions for yourself now, for the first time! I believe college and your 20s are the most important time where you can shape your future by learning about yourself. Often, you grow up not really knowing you are and who you want to be, and feel lost when you try to figure this out. I’d love to support you as you navigate this time by really listening and understanding you, providing non-judgmental guidance and empathy, and asking you helpful questions. I focus on issues with life transitions (yes college and graduation), self esteem, anxiety, interpersonal conflict and communication, dating, perfectionism, break-ups, and stress. Common goals include reducing anxiety, finding a suitable partner, building connection, stronger communication, creating healthy boundaries, finding purpose/career, managing life transitions, and increasing coping skills and confidence. My clients don't fill empty spots! This is my passion and you are so important to me; I remember details and strategize between sessions ensuring you receive the best care in return for your commitment to therapy.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of your personal identity, family expectations, or the impacts of generational trauma. You may find yourself caught between who you are and who others expect you to be, leading to feelings of stress, self-doubt, or disconnection.
