Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I know personally that therapy may be difficult and uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. When I first sit with someone, I genuinely thank them for showing up, both for themselves, and for the therapeutic relationship we’ll work to develop. I want us to explore how your thoughts and feelings impact your behaviors, how your past experiences have shaped the way you relate to others and how you communicate. I want to celebrate progress with you, and to create a safe space for when you need more support. I also enjoy incorporating psychoeducation to assist with applying and understanding the concepts and techniques we talk about in session to your everyday life. On an individual level, I want the client to develop trust and compassion in themselves. On a larger scale, my goal is to normalize mental health, especially for populations who’ve had limited access and face stigmatization for seeking support. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.

I am a culturally sensitive clinician who emphasizes working transparently and collaboratively with people of all backgrounds and orientations. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as in internal family systems (IFS) which helps clients to understand and heal the various parts of self that make up one’s internal world. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy, as well as mindfulness based and somatic therapy techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, grief, healing emotional pain and trauma, building self confidence, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system.

I have worked extensively with music industry professionals and creatives, as well as youth with varying abilities and disabilities, working predominantly with late teens (16+), adults, and couples. I specialize in trauma healing and recovery, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, executive functioning issues and navigating or healing from relationships.

When you’re ready to move out of the confusion of your story and find clarity in it, while gaining the tools to help cope with anxiety, depression, or other areas affecting your life, I am here for you. I am a person-centered Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who utilizes various theories to help you on your counseling journey in order to create and achieve your goals. My mission is to be an objective, receptive, and open-minded counselor who acts in your best interest at all times. My specialties include helping college-aged students navigate adulthood and new responsibilities, with goals of managing time and stress better; individuals going through relationship problems, boundary issues, and finding their authentic selves; adults who have experienced loss or trauma, whether that be as part of their past or an ongoing situation in their life; patients who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and eating disorders, with goals of not being controlled by their disorders; and patients with goals of gaining more confidence and self-esteem. I look forward to assisting you in realizing your mental health goals as we work together. Grab a cup of coffee or tea – any drink really. Get comfortable, and expect to be heard and seen, able to talk openly and honestly without judgement, when you’re in my care. I offer a person-centered approach that revolves around you and your unique needs, and is based around core values of acceptance, autonomy, and being genuine. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Internal Family Systems therapy, I guide you toward discovering who you are and what you want most out of life, as I am passionate about healing through the changing of thought processes. I knew I wanted to be a counselor at a young age, as friends opened up to me easily. This interest started me along a journey of self-discovery, where I learned more about myself as a person and how to heal all parts of me, which helps me assist others in their own healing journeys. More experiences along the way led to my schooling and commitment to providing person-centered care with an intuitive and open-minded perspective. In my free time, I love honing my green thumb skills by being around and taking care of my many, many plants! More hobbies include immersing myself in nature, learning new things, caring for animals, and crocheting.

Do you ever feel like your relationship with food, your body, or your emotions has quietly taken over more of your life than you ever intended? Maybe you have spent years managing it alone, turning to restriction, rigid rules, or old coping habits to feel some sense of control, only to find yourself exhausted, disconnected, or wondering if things can actually be different. I know how heavy that can feel. I bring both specialized clinical training and genuine compassion to my work with clients navigating eating disorders, body image, and the emotions that often live underneath both. With experience at The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders, one of the country's leading eating disorder treatment programs, I've worked with adolescents and adults across a wide range of presentations and levels of care. I specialize in eating disorders, body image, OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and brings a relational, trauma-informed approach to every session. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen rather than assessed, where the work moves at a pace that feels safe, and where healing feels possible rather than out of reach.

I use my sense of humor, most of all, and self-disclosure when I think it will help. I pride myself on trying to make therapy enjoyable. I have been a therapist for almost 20 years and have worked with so many different populations. I love what I do. Because I am a licensed Marriage family and child therapist, I can treat many people. My experience ranges from inpatient to outpatient as well as schools and foster homes. I specifically focus on trauma because we all have unresolved things that need to be resolved. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

I work with a number of presenting concerns including relationships, self-esteem, and grief and loss. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and trauma recovery. I enjoy creating genuine connections with my clients and helping them to not only address symptoms, but also to tune into their strengths and values and to feel empowered to handle the ups and downs of life. My approach is client-centered and integrative, combining mindfulness-based, relational-psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. This means we will look at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, understand how the past might influence the present, explore relationships, and be compassionate observers of your experience. When we grow awareness and understanding, we can also more intentionally choose our responses and how to navigate things in the present.

Welcome! As a clinical psychologist, I help people who are struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, insomnia, low self-esteem, and interpersonal difficulties. I also work with people who are experiencing significant loss or life transitions, or contemplating their future. I provide a confidential, safe, and compassionate setting where you can feel understood on your own terms. I work with adults of all ages and particularly enjoy college and graduate students. My eclectic approach to treatment includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness perspectives, and I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each client.

I specialize in treatment for anxiety and OCD. I help people understand and embrace their anxiety instead of constantly worrying about whether things are going to be okay. Together, I can help you tackle the internal judgments, assumptions, and fears that have been keeping you stuck and learn to stay in the moment instead of focusing on the “what-ifs.” Therapy with me will help you to: * Identify, understand and change unhelpful actions and behaviors * Stop avoiding people, places and things so that you can re-engage your life in a meaningful way * Learn and implement practical skills to reduce and manage constant worrying * Develop healthier, more effective ways of coping * Face and overcome your fears * Live a fuller life! Let’s work together to make sure that your anxiety or OCD is no longer an obstacle to moving forward in your life.

I provide highly specialized, action-oriented, individualized psychological treatment based on your goals and challenges. I maintain a small caseload so I can provide the highest quality evidence-based treatment within the framework of a client-centered and recovery-oriented approach. I specialize in treating: depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, psychosis, and serious mental health challenges. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the Aaron T. Beck Psychopathology Research Center within the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I worked with and received supervision from Dr. Aaron Beck one of the creators of CBT and CT-R. I am also faculty at The Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

I strongly believe in the power of therapy, whether you are struggling with your mental wellbeing, or are simply at one of those challenging, confusing, or stressful moments in life that we all experience. I provide therapy to individuals struggling with a broad range of concerns, and I specialize particularly in working with young adults. I invite my clients to use therapy as a safe and attuned space in which to share the thoughts and emotions that are most present for them, and then together we will untangle how these emotions are connected to current concerns, needs, and goals. Some common treatment focuses are life transitions, identity development, work or academic related stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, anxiety, and depression. Together, we can work to help you form a deeper understanding of both your strengths and stuck points, gain clarity and take steps toward your goals, and discover how you can use your unique strengths to cultivate a more authentic, liberated, and joyful life. Please feel free to contact me by email (counseling@lilyuribephd.com) or by phone (585)-309-5616 to schedule a free initial phone consultation.

You might be here because life feels overwhelming, or you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, or the lingering impact of trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in painful emotional cycles or disconnected from who they used to be, whether because of relationship changes, career shifts, immigration experiences, or earlier life events that continue to affect them. In our work together, I offer a safe, collaborative space where you set the pace. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and draw from narrative therapy to explore how your life experiences shape the way you see yourself and your future. We’ll also integrate mindfulness and self-compassion strategies so you have practical tools to navigate challenges day to day. My previous experience includes supporting individuals in crisis, leading wellness groups, and connecting clients with resources to enhance their well-being. These experiences strengthened my dedication to whole-person care and the importance of meeting people where they are. I specialize in supporting adults, including those navigating cultural identity-related stress and life transitions. As a trilingual clinician, I pay close attention to the ways culture and identity can impact mental health. My goal is for you to feel truly heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward lasting growth and well-being. When I’m not working, I recharge by sharing meals and conversations with friends, enjoying movies, or listening to music that helps me reset after a full day. If you’re considering therapy, you don’t need to have everything figured out to start. This is your time and space, and I’m here to meet you wherever you are.
