Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Pursuing our goals by obtaining a higher education can be exciting and challenging. Many of us experience challenges with anxiety, stress, perfectionism, life transitions, depression, a sense of identity, sexual orientation and relationships. I also help people from all walks of life, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, spiritual beliefs and ages. In addition to supportive and psychodynamic approaches, I work with specific trauma treatments. I help people who have experienced trauma involving relationships and abuse. I provide treatment for different types of dissociation. I look forward to see how I can be of help!

Her Purpose psych provides a space where everyone can expect a supportive, collaborative environment where they feel safe, heard, and respected. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental space that encourages open conversation about mental health needs and personal goals. In sessions with me, you can expect a safe and welcoming space where you can talk openly about what you’re going through. We’ll work together to create a plan that fits your needs — whether that includes coping skills, lifestyle changes, or medication support. My goal is to help you feel understood, build confidence, and give you tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, or other challenges so you can feel more balanced and in control of your life.

For over 40 years, I've worked with individuals, couples, families, & groups. From among the numerous treatment approaches in which I've trained, i custom tailor a way of working that best suits your needs. Thus, I start by listening to your concerns. Then together we can delineate goals. These can range from broad existential concerns, e.g. how you want to BE everyday, how to live "happier." . . to practical ways to improve your relationship(s), choose a career, reduce your anxiety or depression, manage your A.D.D. I work with local psychiatrists if you wish to consider, or manage, medication(s). I'm sorry but i do not accept any insurance (managed care was around when i started to practice). I'll help you find out if your insurance contract will reimburse you for an Out-of-Network (OON) Psychologist like myself. Also, since Covid, i've been working solely over Zoom. I look forward to hearing from you. Dr. Joy

Colorful Mind Psychotherapy is a compassionate team of licensed psychotherapists with years of experience serving Asian American communities.

Our practice offers tailored therapy for children, families, and adults. Our approach is rooted in trauma-informed care that honors the diverse cultural and personal backgrounds of each client.

I specialize in working with individuals battling with depression, self-esteem issues and anxiety issues stemming from overwhelming life experiences and Complex Trauma.

I work with students who feel like life is moving too fast and expectations are piling up. Maybe you’re stressed about classes, friendships, or future plans, or just feeling unsure of yourself. Therapy is a place to slow down, be heard, and figure out what really matters to you. The people I work with often struggle with stress, self-doubt, or adjusting to big life changes. Together, we explore ways to handle pressure, build confidence, and find balance in your academic and personal life. Sessions are a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings. You’ll leave with practical strategies and a clearer sense of your own goals and values, so you can navigate college life with more confidence and calm.

I work to help clients better adjust to academic and social stressors, as well as to make more meaningful connections. I encourage engagement in therapy towards your own empowerment and self-growth. My style of therapy is client-centered and humanistic.

I combine compassionate care with evidence-based therapies to enable you to set and meet goals, feel better, and live the life you want and deserve. My goal is to provide you with a caring, comfortable, and supportive environment to discuss your concerns and help you develop new skills to improve your quality of life.

This allows you to see a therapist from the comfort and convenience of your own home. When I'm not seeing patients, I am a professor at Rutgers.

Hello, I'm Dr. Clifford (please feel free to call me Heather!). I bring a compassionate and a caring approach to therapy that is trauma informed and queer affirming. The transition to young adulthood can be a time of major changes, successes, and disappointments. The pressure of being a young adult and figuring out "the future" is often overwhelming and anxiety provoking. You may be questioning your values, sexuality, relationships and career aspirations. I specialize in helping college students explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are getting in the way of them living a life that is in line with their values. Through our work together I can help you clarify what is important to you and develop skills to help you live the life you choose. I use evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help support you become present and participate in the important parts of life. I often incorporate mindfulness and compassion focused exercises during sessions. I am committed to unlearning oppressive biases and beliefs including but not limited to white supremacy, racism, ableism, homophobia, and fatphobia. I believe that these systems of oppression hugely impact our mental health and come to play in the therapy room. I am always open to discuss and explore these topics.

Our world can so often be judgmental and alienating, especially to those whose identities fall outside of the social norm. In my practice, I take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach with the aim of creating a warm environment where clients feel seen and heard. My approach is a collaborative, interactive process, as I view clients as the experts of their own lives. I am passionate about supporting clients who are struggling with issues of shame, self-esteem, interpersonal boundaries, relationships and intimacy, oppression, gender and other identity transitions, and trauma. I practice from an anti-racist/-transphobic/-ableist/-oppressive, Health At Every Size (HAES), and poly- and kink-affirming perspective. I’m in network with commercial plans (not Medicaid/Medicare) for Aetna, Anthem/Highmark BCBS, and Quest Behavioral Health and will soon also be taking Optum (United Healthcare, Oscar, and Oxford). I’m currently exclusively working with Telehealth clients residing in NY.
