Therapists for college students near New York, NY

As a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20+ years of experience, I value the connection and collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship. I provide straightforward, non-judgemental support and gently challenge you to explore, grow, and transform. As a team, we will work together to explore your stresses and life's challenges and develop strategies to help you lead a full and successful life.

Welcome, glad you're here! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. Creating a trusting environment for you is paramount. I am passionate about helping people feel safe, validated, and heard. This is a collaborative experience where we'll work together to examine relationships and communication, increase self-compassion and emotional regulation, and develop insights into your beliefs and behaviors. We can also discuss how nutrition and gut health play an integral, fundamental role in achieving comprehensive wellness. I want to help you feel empowered, live your most satisfying life, and be the best version of yourself. I believe such comprehensive wellness requires a holistic approach that includes exploring our emotional, physical, and energetic selves so we may better appreciate the interdependence of our internal systems. Since therapy is a unique, interactive process, I use several approaches including Psychodynamic, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and life experiences to deepen the work. When we have understanding, compassion, and context, we begin to release negative feelings and can start to forge ahead creating different pathways and skills to handle life. After shedding light on what brings us shame, it loses its hold over us. As Brene Brown offers, “when we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story we can write a brave new ending.” While there are uncomfortable feelings that arise in therapy, there is also laughter, connection, insight, compassion, and relief. In addition to discussing how you want to improve your life, we also talk about what is going well for you and what positive things you are doing that help you have meaningful relationships and make successful decisions. Most often the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle through which deep healing and lasting change occur. I invite you to notice, honor, and “welcome all of your parts” with compassionate curiosity. Together, we look at the past to inform the present and work towards a brighter future. .

Hello! It's wonderful that you've taken this first step toward change and I hope that I can help make that process a bit easier. I'm a psychotherapist with over ten years of experience helping individuals create change. I believe that effective therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to each person's unique needs and circumstances. I prioritize a collaborative approach, working closely with my clients to create a safe and supportive space where we can explore their challenges, identify their goals, and develop strategies for positive change. I'm passionate about empowering my patients to achieve their desired outcomes and live fulfilling lives.

Hi, I’m Donna Deming, LCSW, a clinical social worker in New York offering online therapy state wide . I work with college students and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, body image concerns, academic pressure, life transitions, loneliness, or feeling overwhelmed. College can be exciting, but it can also feel stressful, isolating, and emotionally exhausting at times. Many students struggle with overthinking, comparison to others, pressure to succeed, family stress, social anxiety, or uncertainty about who they are and where they’re headed in life. My approach is warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can talk honestly about what you’re going through while also learning practical ways to cope, manage emotions, and build confidence. Together, we can work on developing healthier coping skills, improving relationships, managing anxiety and stress, strengthening self-worth, and helping you feel more emotionally grounded and supported. Reaching out for help can feel difficult, but you do not have to figure everything out alone.

At MindWell, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care that respects each individual's unique journey. We believe in everyone's ability to grow and adapt, and we strive to support our clients in building a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Choosing to start therapy is an important step, and we believe that finding the right therapist for you is essential in this process. Our hope is that you feel welcomed, valued, and safe to explore yourself in our calm and nurturing environment.

Healing is rarely linear, and finding a provider who truly meets you where you are can make all the difference. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner bringing extensive clinical experience to every session, I specialize in helping people across the lifespan navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and mood disorders. Whether you're facing something you've carried for years or navigating a new and difficult chapter, you deserve a space grounded in trust and open, honest communication. My goal is to be a reliable, collaborative partner in your care, helping you gain clarity, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care is more than a philosophy; it's how every session is shaped. Helping you better understand your mental health and build a sustainable path toward healing and resilience is what this work is all about. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where your unique needs and goals guide the direction of care. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication management, my focus is on developing practical coping skills and improving your emotional well-being. Every approach is thoughtfully tailored to you, because no two people, and no two journeys, are exactly the same. My path to this work began with early work in psychiatric facilities, where I witnessed firsthand the power of compassionate, consistent mental health care. Experiencing that impact deepened my commitment to trauma-informed, patient-centered practice that continues to guide every aspect of care today. Each session is approached with this same level of empathy, clinical insight, and a collaborative spirit, because the relationship between patient and provider matters just as much as the treatment itself. Outside of the office, staying active, creative, and connected to everyday life keeps things grounded. Whether working out, experimenting in the kitchen, or finding a sense of calm and creativity in pottery class, these pursuits bring the same intentionality and presence that shape the care offered to every patient.

Whether you're burdened by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, identity questions, transitions, or physical pain linked to stress or emotions, therapy can bring relief. I offer a compassionate space where you can slow down, be seen and heard, and reconnect with yourself and what you aspire for your life. I often use Internal Family Systems to help heal painful parts and foster self-compassion and inner harmony, and Somatic Experiencing to help regulate your nervous system and heal trauma. I also offer somatic movement therapy for those interested in deeper mind/body connection. I tailor my approach based on your needs. I have helped a wide range of people in a variety of situations over more than 20 years as a licensed clinical social worker. I strive to be an ally to people of color and to be culturally responsive. I work collaboratively and without judgment. I consider it a privilege to help you find joy and make the most of that which is in your control.

Additionally, I can be helpful dealing with challenges in the present that get in the way of getting where you want to go.
