Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Students who come to work with me often share some things in common: -They're high-achievers. Driven, capable, and holding it together on the outside, but quietly exhausted, burned out, or feeling like something's missing on the inside. -They might be navigating anxiety or OCD, going through a major life transition, or questioning their purpose and what comes next. They may be working through shifts in their relationships, with a partner, with their parents, or with themselves. -Many have never asked for help before. They're used to being the one who has it together, and reaching out takes real courage for them. If any of that sounds familiar, reach out for a free 20-minute consultation and let's get started together :)

You’re used to handling things. You’ve figured out how to succeed, meet deadlines, and show up for others — but lately it feels harder. Maybe anxiety is louder, your mood dips more often, or relationships feel strained. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Therapy can help you build steadiness, clarity, and more intentional choices in the middle of a demanding season. At Mind Field Therapy, I work with college students navigating anxiety, depression, identity shifts, relationship stress, and the impact of difficult life events or past trauma. I’ll absolutely ask how you’re feeling — and we’ll go deeper than that. I’m direct, grounded, and occasionally use humor when it helps us loosen anxiety’s grip. The goal isn’t endless venting; it’s understanding what’s driving the patterns and building tools you can actually use.

*ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR JANUARY 2025.* I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, and together, we can explore how your past experiences have shaped who you are today. You will gain self-understanding, self-compassion, and begin to feel happier and more fulfilled. My clients are individuals and couples with a wide variety of concerns, including relationship issues, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. I can help you navigate unwanted emotions and get you ready to cope with any difficult life circumstances that might arise in the future. My past clients have described me as “non-judgmental, kind, and someone who calls them on their bullshit.” I also love working with people in non-traditional relationships as well as LGBT individuals and couples. I also specialize in transgender-affirmative therapy, and have worked with trans and non-binary clients who are questioning gender, people who are in the middle of a physical and/or social transition, and individuals who are either post-transition or have made other decisions in this regard. Even if your gender identity is not the topic you want to explore in therapy, I will provide an accepting environment where you can explore whatever you think will be most useful. If this sounds like what you are looking for, please email me to set up a 20-minute phone conversation so we can see if we would be a good fit.

I have been repeatedly impressed and moved by the process and experience that is psychotherapy. With each new person that I meet, I endeavor to foster a relationship through which healing, self-awareness, and personal growth can take place. I aim to help people identify their own emotional truths and live a more fulfilling life. If you are unhappy with the direction your life is going, dissatisfied with the quality of your relationships, or experiencing distressing symptoms that make it difficult to get through your days, please call for an initial consultation. I offer individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, and couples counseling, as well as consultation services for mental health professionals. My practice focuses on the treatment of depression and anxiety, grief and loss, adjustment to chronic illness, stress management, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is integrative and collaborative, based on trust, respect, and compassion. I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist (International Board for Certification of Group Psychotherapists) and lead therapy groups that focus on the improvement of interpersonal functioning and the enhancement of an individual's ability to develop healthy, satisfying and emotionally close relationships.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed? You are in the right place! I have extensive experience working with clients who experience anxiety, high stress, ADHD, neurodiversity, depression, relationship and family issues. Additionally, I am in expert in helping client's build skills in a number of areas including social skills, dating skills, executive functioning skills, and coping skills. I help motivate clients to reach their vision of success and to improve their lives in a judgement-free space. I take a person-centered approach and tailor treatment to meet each client's unique needs and help them reach their goals. This can include targeting specific mental health challenges or providing general support for life's daily stressors. I have extensive training in CBT, DBT skills, ACT, skills training, parent training, and life coaching. I provide more than just traditional therapy services. With a compassionate approach, I help clients navigate through their concerns and find effective solutions. I am committed to creating a safe space to explore thoughts/feelings and problem-solving. I value people as individuals, and also seek to understand family, social, and work/school environment(s).

Finding the right support is one of the most important steps you can take for your mental health, and I'm here to help you take it. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in anxiety and mood disorders, I work with individuals navigating emotional, behavioral, and psychiatric challenges, offering medication management, treatment planning, and holistic, patient-centered care. My goal is to serve as an engaged and invested partner in your care, empowering you through education, support, and evidence-based treatment. I look forward to helping you gain confidence, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based care is the framework of my practice, as I’m deeply passionate about creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and supported in your mental health journey. With me, you can always expect a warm and welcoming environment where your goals and experiences shape the direction of our work together. Through personalized therapeutic techniques and medication management, we'll work to build insight, strengthen resilience, and improve your quality of life. Every approach is tailored to you, because no two journeys are the same. My path to becoming a PMHNP was shaped by years at the bedside as an RN, as well as three years in inpatient psychiatry. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and mental health, and reinforced my commitment to compassionate, whole-person care. The clinical perspective I developed in those settings informs every session. Understanding how the body and mind work together allows me to bring a more complete and holistic lens to your care. When I'm not seeing patients, you'll find me out for a run, exploring somewhere new, or recharging with friends and family. Time in nature and meaningful connections keep me grounded, and that same sense of balance and presence is something I strive to bring to my work with you.

Biography: Hello! Thank you for visiting my Teladoc profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York with over 20 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with a Doctorate of Social Work from Capella University, a Masters of Social Work from Marywood University, and undergraduate degree from State University of NY -Suny Empire. I specialize in working with teens and adults coping with life stressors related to personal relationships, life changes, work-related issues, stress/anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and trauma. I have diverse experience from a variety of treatment settings. I have worked as a school-based social worker in both a school-based mental health center and as a social work consultant, worked with soldiers and their families on military installations, and worked in outpatient mental health clinics. I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Each person has a unique perspective and set of core beliefs around their experience of life. Through exploration of these perspectives and beliefs one can connect to the truth within themselves in the present moment, become free from self-generated suffering, and gain insight, clarity and choice in their behavior. Modalities utilized in therapy include Cognitive Processing therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry, Act therapy, and Positive Psychology. I believe that each person entering therapy is seeking to find the answers for their lives that will enhance their ability to have the best life possible. Life happens and then each of us need to figure it out. Sometimes we need someone to come along side on our journey to help us find our best way forward. Remember, life is a journey, not a destination. I look forward to working with you!

My goal as a therapist is to work with my clients to help them use their natural strengths and abilities to move past their challenges. I believe that most people already possess the natural abilities and talents to move past mental health or sleep challenges, but might need some coaching or occasional suggestions in order to do so. I utilize therapeutic methods that have been rigorously researched and studied. I have extensive experience working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and trauma.

I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University's Silver School of Social Work. I have years of experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, eating disorders, as well as different phobias.

Thoughts and emotions can be so powerful, but they can lead us to feeling stuck, lost, confused, dread, or even exhausted. We become so worked up that we might not know how to manage. We tend to isolate, panic, feel unseen, feel unheard, and become irritated because we don’t have the words. Clients will get to meet their present selves by exploring multiple aspects of their lives such as relationships with others and themselves, inner dialogue, communication, anxiety, depression, and more.As a therapist, I aim to create a space where clients have the opportunity to be vulnerable, grow, and feel empowered while working toward their goals and developing new skill sets. I offer a compassionate, creative, and individualized approach that is collaborative and non-judgmental. Together we will develop a deeper understanding of emotions, somatic symptoms, inner dialogue, boundaries, and how we view ourselves in order to improve our quality of life.
