Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of counseling experience. My specialties include working with depression, anxiety, substance use, mood disorders, bipolar and borderline personality disorders, and more. My top modalities are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. My behavioral health background includes case management, vocational case management, and social work, and I particularly enjoy working with college students (graduate and undergraduate) and faculty during moments of transition. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach to support you in making your desired changes. My communication style is non-judgemental, respectful, and observant. I actively listen to your concerns and provide support and validation. I enjoy working with people who would like to create a more satisfying life and learn skills to set and achieve their goals. During our first session, we will explore your reasons for entering therapy and the goals you have for your overall well being. I’ll create a supportive environment for you to explore your concerns and agree on a path forward in our work together. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out today. I am part of the Path referral network, which means that when you reach out, my team will get back to you quickly to schedule our first session. I am committed to making therapy affordable. Through Path, I am in-network for most commercial insurances, so you're only responsible for your co-pay!
Kelsey is a master of social work who works primarily with young adults experiencing life changes, relationships issues, grief, trauma, and depression and anxiety.

Kelsey incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, but makes sure to tailor her sessions to the individual first and foremost. Before becoming a therapist, Kelsey had a career in advertising and marketing working for consumer brands and tech companies. Having experienced these worlds first-hand, Kelsey is uniquely equipped to understand and empathize with many of the challenges her clients face day-to-day — things like burnout, navigating office dynamics, and the identity struggle that comes with learning who you are as an adult while maintaining a demanding career. Kelsey seeks to create a safe and welcoming experience for her clients. She knows how to address immediate stressors and concerns, while keeping long-term healing goals at the forefront.

I help my clients feel accepted, understood, and supported so they can explore and organize their experiences and create new ways of coping. I work with survivors of trauma and with people who are grieving a loss, whether a partner, a parent, or, a pet. Many of my clients are struggling with depression or anxiety or are having trouble in their work l, school, or in their relationships. I help people who have experienced trauma and loss find a way to cope with the present and make meaning of the past. I help people make changes and reach their goals with patience, encouragement and humor.
Welcome! I am a Manhattan based child, adolescent and adult psychotherapist committed to understanding individual perspectives and experiences, assisting you in articulating your unique needs and goals in order to optimize emotional well-being and happiness. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment that empowers you to explore your genuine self. I believe that quality of life experience is subjective and that we all feel validated and supported when our voices are heard and respected. I have a transparent communication style and warm, empathetic presence and employ various therapeutic approaches as needed. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Social Work at New York University. Previously, I worked as a pediatric palliative care social worker at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. I am fellowship trained in interdisciplinary pediatric palliative care from Harvard University/Boston Children's Hospital/Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Indiana University, as well as bachelor's degrees in Psychology and History from Indiana University.
As your therapist, I will help you know yourself in a deeper way. In doing so, you will be better equipped to enact changes in your life that will lead to greater happiness and a sense of well-being. We cannot erase negative past experiences. We can, however, work together to help you to better understand and to respond to these experiences in more constructive ways. Using a variety of therapeutic approaches, I will help you to become more aware of your long standing, negative behavioral patterns which are getting in your way of resolving challenges and of establishing and meeting your goals in life. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, conflicted relationships, work stress and identity issues. As an alternative to therapy, I also offer coaching services for clients working toward specific personal goals in the areas of career/work, self care (e.g. weight loss, improved work-life balance, meditation/mindfulness practices) and relationships. In addition to my 5th Avenue office, I have offices on East 57th St and in Great Neck, Long Island. I also provide therapy online to residents of NY State.
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, gain insights, and work toward meaningful change. I am committed to providing a compassionate and empowering space for healing, and my practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I prioritize your sense of safety, control, and trust at every step of our therapeutic process. I utilize a blend of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as CBT, CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), mindfulness practices, and somatic therapies to help you process painful memories and reduce distressing symptoms.

Reach out and let's see if we are a good fit.
The students I work best with often share a desire to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they navigate college life, especially when their path doesn’t look like everyone else’s. I work with a wide range of college students including international students, first-generation college students, students from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds, as well as both traditional and nontraditional students. What they often have in common is that they’re carrying a lot, whether it's pressure to succeed, cultural or family expectations, feelings of anxiety, questions about identity and belonging, or simply the stress of trying to figure out who they are and what comes next. In our work together, we create space to explore these experiences without judgment. If you’re a student who’s juggling multiple roles, feeling out of place, or simply looking for support during a major life transition, you’re not alone and you don’t have to do it all on your own.

If you're struggling with your relationship with food or your body, or you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or life changes, you're not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. In therapy with me, you’ll find a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. Whether you’re navigating disordered eating, body image concerns, low self-esteem, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with self!
Hi! I’m Sarah. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to "have it all figured out" while navigating the ups and downs of college life, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re a New Yorker studying away from home or a Virginian trying to find your footing, I’m here to help you manage the transition. I’ve spent the last three years helping people navigate life’s biggest shifts. I know that being a student isn't just about grades—it’s about managing relationships, setting boundaries with family, and figuring out who you are when the old labels don't seem to fit anymore. My Approach: I don’t believe in "one size fits all" therapy. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I bring a grounded, practical perspective to our sessions (with a touch of wit) to help you move from feeling stuck to feeling capable. I specialize in: Relationship Navigation: Modern dating, roommate friction, and family dynamics. Anxiety & Perfectionism: Silencing the "not enough" voice. Life Transitions: Moving, career pivot anxiety, and identity shifts. I offer a space where you can be completely yourself—no "clinical mask" required. Let’s work together to build a toolkit that actually works for your life, not just your syllabus.

Let me tell you a little bit more about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have always loved helping others. My passion for working with people in their 20s and 30s stems from years of working with children and adolescents in schools. I’ve helped students find their own path into adulthood and see my current work as a continuation of offering that guidance and support. Previous clients describe me as very kind, empathetic, non-judgmental, and caring. Counseling is in my blood, it's all I have ever done and I feel as passionate about it today as I did when I started.
If you were looking for a sign to try therapy, consider this that sign. Life feels hard, and everyone and everything feels overwhelming. You just want to feel better but don't even know where to begin. You don't have to figure it all out on your own. So let's talk. Even better, let's collaborate. I have a relaxed style based on science but led by empathy and humor. I commonly help clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions, or even just a case of the "blahs." Our work together will be as unique as you are to pinpoint and address your personal goals. I commonly I pull from evidence-based treatments including cognitive and psychodynamic therapies geared to target unhelpful thoughts, build up your coping skills or work through past and current patterns. During our sessions, you can expect to feel safe, seen, and fully embraced- just as you are. I look forward to connecting with you to learn how we can enhance your well-being, alleviate the stress and pain you may be experiencing and find your joy again.
