Therapists for college students near New York, NY

If you are looking for a therapist, you know you want something in your life to be better, and you haven't been able to make that happen on your own. You might feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck. It doesn't have to stay that way. By looking for a therapist, you are taking the brave steps to make positive changes for yourself. I am genuine, warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of therapy expertise. My focus includes life transitions and relationship/family issues. I use an integrative approach to treatment, tailoring my approach to the specific needs and personal styles of each individual, couple or family. Change is not easy, but it is possible. We will figure out how to make it happen. There is nothing we can't face together. I look forward to working with you! Same-day appointments sometimes available.

If you've ever felt caught between worlds, or like your path hasn't quite followed the expected script, I get it — I've lived that too. I work with individuals of all ages who struggle with self-criticism, people-pleasing, and difficulty asserting their needs in relationships or life decisions. Working primarily from a psychodynamic approach, I help clients explore the deeper patterns and early experiences that shape their present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll investigate unexamined beliefs and influences that may be holding you back from living a life more fully like your own.

I'm here to be a support and safe place as you face a time of many life transitions. I often mix a little bit of humor and gentle accountability into sessions. My clients are often seeking support to navigate relationships, identity, and future goals. My multi-state licensure allows for continuity of care even when students are moving between multiple states. Schedule a free consultation on my website today! http://www.calliazimmerman.com/contact

Philosophy The guiding philosophy of my practice is to help people understand themselves in the service of personal development within the context of a safe and reliable relationship with another person. I believe that deep and rich self-examination requires rigorous and systematic pursuit on the part of both therapist and patient as they work together. I place a high value on curiosity, creativity, purposeful aims, tolerance of discomfort, and the strength for meaningful work and satisfying relationships. These cannot be attained in a vacuum, but rather are experienced or learned through the medium of the psychotherapeutic relationship. The internal world of imagination and the life of the mind are brought into balance with social relatedness and external realities. Therapist and patient endeavor to find verbal language to express the patient’s inner experience, feelings, thoughts, and that for which no words have yet been found. The human mind, brain, body and experience are neither separable nor unconnected, but instead form a comprehensive, whole system. Although it is tempting to think of stressors, struggles, problems, issues, events, transitions, and diseases as discrete and unique, I understand symptoms, perceptions, traumas and diagnoses not as circumscribed and distinct entities, but as signposts of underlying, complex unconscious expressions. By recruiting present and/or past events, the unconscious mind disguises itself defensively, in order to remain hidden and unchanged. Together, therapist and patient seek to discover the origins and symbolic meanings of symptoms, their purposes and functions, while accumulating new experiences formed by the proceedings of the psychotherapy process itself. In this way, patients find or re-discover authentic aspects of themselves, integrate or re-integrate shards of themselves that have been unconsciously split off or disconnected, and learn or re-learn how to interact with themselves, others and their environments. The result is the freeing of energy that has been bound up unproductively in the form of painful, unsatisfying, automatic and inhibiting symptoms, so that the energy may be re-directed toward consciously and voluntarily chosen, fulfilling, productive pursuits. If, among the pioneers of modern science, we count Einstein, who forever changed our view of the universe, and Darwin, who forever changed our view of humanity’s place in nature, we must count Freud, who forever changed our view of the human mind, probably the most complex structure in the universe, as the third, and arguably the greatest, of these intellectual heroes. His discovery of psychological defenses against self-knowledge, and his methods of detecting and resolving those defenses, stand among the highest achievements of humankind.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stressed? You don't have to face challenges alone. I offer compassionate support to help you grow to who you want to be. My experience as a therapist includes working with students at Cornell University on a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, academic and career stressors, perfectionism, relationships, addiction/recovery, grief and loss, and trauma/PTSD. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including DBT for emotional regulation, and EMDR for trauma and PTSD. My practice is via telehealth in NY, MA, and ME, and I have appointments available now. Please call or email me for a free 20-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit (no texts). I hope to speak with you soon!

Each person has a unique experience and healing requires an individualized plan. Healing occurs through a combination of multiple different sources. Therapy can be one tool that can aid in growth that can alleviate suffering. Therapy can be both challenging and rewarding. I believe that a critical component of therapy is a trusting relationship with compassion, feeling heard and seen. Working with someone who you trust to hear your experience and challenge you in positive ways. I am a Yale and VA-trained clinical psychologist , licensed in CT and NY, who has over a decade of experience working with people struggling with addiction. Additionally, I have expertise treating anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and relationship distress. I approach therapy from a gender-affirming, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive lens. I use an integrative approach that incorporates strategies from humanistic, relational and evidence-based therapies. My style is engaging, compassionate, and nonjudgmental.

A riverbend symbolizes a new direction and the future that is waiting to be discovered. When struggling with emotional distress like anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, or more it can be extremely difficult to see the positives that could appear ahead. Like a riverbend, counseling can be the new direction towards peace and calm, and a step towards a brighter future. I am an LCSW with experience in the field of mental health and addiction. I strongly believe in utilizing a holistic and person-centered approach to help empower individuals to reach the goals that are most important to them. If you are entering a new phase of life, have been struggling with your mental health, or are a parent who has been impacted by a loved one’s substance use, please feel free to reach out to schedule a free consultation, and know that you are not alone in this journey.

At Solstice, NP in Psychiatry & Family Health, PLLC, we provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for college students and adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and life transitions. College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Academic pressure, relationships, family expectations, identity development, burnout, loneliness, and uncertainty about the future can all impact emotional well-being. Our goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where students feel heard, understood, and empowered to take the next step in their mental health journey. We offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, brief supportive therapy, and full therapy sessions with our on-staff Licensed Mental Health Counselor. This allows us to offer more complete, coordinated care and a range of treatment options based on each student’s individual needs. Care is collaborative, practical, and personalized, with attention to the whole person — emotional health, physical health, sleep, lifestyle, academics, relationships, stressors, and personal goals. Whether a student is seeking support for the first time, continuing care from home, or transitioning from pediatric or campus-based services, we aim to make treatment feel approachable and supportive. Our approach is grounded in science and guided by compassion. Services are available by telehealth throughout New York State, with in-person appointments available in Gardiner, NY. We look forward to supporting you! -Jennifer Hoben, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, Founder -Jennifer Dipalo-Foley, LMHC

Jessica’s perspective: “I am a supportive and kink, fetish, queer & poly/ cnm affirming therapist and I love helping couples (and individuals) learn to effectively communicate, create intimacy and connection, reignite chemistry and provide sex education; because the sexual life you desire doesn't have to be out of reach! I am also completely supportive of monogamous relationships as I want each partnership to define the relationship type that works best for them. I am comfortable hearing about those spicy desires so that I can empower you to share them with your partner(s) in a safe and non-judgmental way. I specialize in couples counseling & sex therapy. There is nothing taboo or off limits to anything you share with me, as your psychological safety is my priority."

I’m here to help you know all that is possible for you and clear blocks of self-doubt, fear, shame, grief and other very human emotions and experiences in your way of a nourishing, self-loving and joyful life.

I weave together a range of therapeutic healing modalities including IFS, Hakomi and other somatic, nature-based and anti-oppressive practices. I would love to support you on your healing journey! I warmly welcome you to reach out and see if we are a match to work together.

It is both normal for us humans to get stuck, scared, or in our own way and also to need space and support to understand the cause of our struggles, face our fears, make changes, and grow. My goal as a therapist is to use our combined wisdom (your knowledge of yourself and your life, my experience and expertise), and sometimes that of my therapy dog Bella, to explore your concerns, increase awareness, insight, and self-compassion, identify options for change, and understand and respect what you choose to do as a result of this process. I have over 20 years experience as a psychotherapist and specifically working with university students (and staff), international persons, and musicians/performers.

In sessions, you can expect me to take a person-centered approach, prioritizing your perspective and experience while working to understand your inner world. As an EMDR trained therapist, I often use a lens focused on exploring how the past might be impacting the present and identifying the core beliefs we have about ourselves. I also integrate CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness based interventions to create individualized treatment plans collaboratively with each client to help them achieve their unique goals. My specialties include working with people who have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety, and hold negative beliefs about the self. One of my favorite quotes is, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be,” from Ralph Waldo Emerson. You have greatness within and I would be honored to help you find it.

Has your life turned upside down with unexpected changes, trauma, depression, grief, or increased anxiety? Are you feeling unheard by family, coworkers, or friends? Do you struggle with creating boundaries or breaking unhealthy relationship patterns? I believe you should not face these life changes alone. Let me walk beside you in your journey and unpack these feelings. Self-love and self-care are real, and if no one has told you it's okay to put yourself first! I am Marita Kershaw, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania. I offer individual, family, and couples telehealth therapy sessions. Currently, I solely offer virtual appointments. As a therapist, I believe in building individuals gradually by offering a safe space as they enter a judgment-free zone. I want to know more about you, and I also want you to know me better. If I seem like a good match, I encourage you to believe that one step further and start your therapy with me.

Hi, I'm Sean. I'm passionate about helping clients overcome struggles related to anxiety, OCD, life transitions, and identity development. In therapy, we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and create a plan to develop strategies to manage life challenges. In doing so, my goal is to create opportunities for you to come to know yourself more fully, to provide tools for you to connect with others more deeply, and to empower you to live a life more in line with your personal values. I am trained in providing CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention), and Psychodynamic Therapy. I often work using an integrated approach that emphasizes treating the whole person and incorporate elements of multiple modalities to meet your individual needs and goals. Change can be both terrifying and extremely powerful. I value meeting new clients where they are at in their journey, and working as a team to accomplish important goals. To book a phone screen and get started, I invite you to reach out!

Therapy is about YOU and your goals. Clients come to therapy seeking empathic support but also concrete skills to improve their lives. I provide non-judgmental and thoughtful support for teens and adults managing depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms that disrupt their lives. Clients are able to find connection in therapy and apply strategies to find more joy throughout their daily relationships with themselves and others. I empower clients to harness their courage in facing past and present losses, traumas, and stressors so that they no longer feel trapped or controlled by their experiences.

College is a time of real growth — and real pressure. For many students, it's also when questions about identity, mental health, and how they move through the world come into sharper focus. I work with college students who are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, identity exploration, trauma history, or the particular exhaustion that comes with being neurodivergent in demanding academic environments. Many of the young adults I work with are autistic, ADHD, or both — and are often doing so without the scaffolding that got them through high school. Others are transgender or gender-diverse, and are figuring out who they are while managing minority stress, family dynamics, and systems that don't always make things easy. My approach is relational and collaborative. I don't follow a rigid protocol — I draw from ACT, DBT, and CBT, and I tailor what we do to who you are and what you actually need. Sessions are a place to build insight, develop real skills, and figure out how to live more fully as yourself. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training in gender-diverse care, trauma, and neurodevelopment. Before opening my practice, I spent two years at Yale's Pediatric Gender Program and completed my doctoral internship at Yale School of Medicine. I keep my caseload focused so I can do this work with the depth it deserves. Sessions are available via telehealth across Connecticut and New York, and in person in Southington, CT — which may be convenient for students at nearby colleges and universities. I also see adolescents and teens, so referrals for younger clients are welcome. I'm happy to connect with counseling center staff to discuss fit, coordination of care, or consultation. The best way to reach me is through my website or by phone.
