Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I engage with clients relationally to understand how unconscious dynamics impede connection and growth. I work with both individuals and couples seeking to understand their attachment styles, communication patterns, and family dynamics and have specialized experience in working with psychosis, sexual trauma, grief, and aging issues

I work with clients who experience trauma, whether it is childhood sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, or more recent traumatic events. You might wish to forget about it by not talking about it, but it often comes back and “haunts” you. The best way to deal with a “ghost” is to talk about it and take away its power over you. It is normal that you want to avoid it. However, the worst part of Trauma is that it continues. I would like to help you work through it, separate the past from the present so you can move on with your life. I am also very much interested in working on Women’s Issues, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. You might feel compelled to behave in certain ways, and you don't understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we will explore what works for you and what doesn’t by listening and seeking understanding. I will help reflect on any parts you did not understand before. With more information about yourself, you will be able to make better choices. I partner with teens and adults to navigate the complexities of trauma, intimate partner violence, and self-harm. Together, we work to understand fear, anger, shame, guilt, and envy, these difficult and painful emotions, rebuild your self-esteem, and cultivate a sense of resilience. I am licensed in New York and New Jersey and offer both online therapy and in-person sessions at my office located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I am fluent in both English and Mandarin

Mission Liberation Psychotherapy is a private group therapy practice located in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. Our foundational philosophy is based on the meaningful engagement between the therapist and client and achieved using Carl Rogers’ client-centered techniques of active-listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. Liberation Psychotherapy’s primary mission is to help clients explore their experiences thereby clients can heal and grow and embrace their strengths and resiliencies. To honor and respect the uniqueness of our clients, we subscribe broadly to a liberation and integrative model because our attention is drawn to the interplay of the clients’ identities and environments. Liberation is understood through the complex realities and histories in which we are living/having lived through: sociopolitical, economic, cultural. With an integrative approach, our therapists collaborate with clients on which treatment modalities may benefit them and can include: affirmative, bibliotherapy, client-centered, cognitive behavior, creative arts, dialectical behavior therapy, existential, holistic, narrative, psychodynamic, sexology, spiritual, and trauma.

I specialize in working with those struggling anxiety. I often support individuals who feel stuck in cycles of rumination and worry, helping them gain greater control over challenging thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll build a toolbox of skills to navigate stressors and create meaningful life change. My therapy style is curious, thoughtful, and non-judgmental. I strive to help clients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, accept what is beyond their control, and commit to values-driven actions that improve their quality of life.

My name is Savi and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. I have a particular interest in working with students as much of my clinical experience is in working with people in their teens and early 20’s who are going through the big life changes that happen at these times. There is so much to navigate during this time in life with academic demands, becoming more independent from our families, and starting new relationships. There are many reasons we are drawn to start therapy, but I find it is often because we are struggling with difficult feelings related to these things that we may not understand and don’t know how to get rid of. I think it’s important that you have a safe place to talk about these feelings and for us to begin to understand what is underneath them.

Choosing to invest in yourself and your mental health is an act of courage. By looking for a therapist, you have begun the first step on that path. In our work together, I will help you navigate life’s challenges. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, lonely, or otherwise struggling, then you are not alone.

My purpose is to ultimately help my clients achieve the goals they wish to accomplish. I offer a safe, empathetic and a warm environment. I use interventions that offer not only symptom relief, but also a means to improve emotional connections to the individual and others. I have experience in treating LGBTQIA populations, depression, sexual challenges, anxiety disorders, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, chronic pain, chronic illness, disabilities, and disease. As a dedicated psychotherapist, certified substance abuse counselor, and certified sex and couple’s therapist, I use holistic approaches where I treat the whole person and not just the symptoms. Clients who are in non-monogamous, swingers, polyamorous, and/or kink relationships are welcomed.

I believe therapy means making you feel deeply known and accepted, and by creating a warm and secure bond opens the space for long-lasting, personal growth. I appreciate how some old habits you have picked up at an earlier point may no longer serve you now. The process of understanding yourself with compassion and learning new ways of being in the world isn't always easy, but I'll be with you every step of the way. Together we can find and solve the "stuck points" holding you back from living a full and meaningful life. I work with individual adults focusing on mood and personality issues. As your therapist, my goal is to help you live up to the best version of yourself. My approach centers on harnessing your unique strengths in building the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. I take an integrative approach that reflects my dual training in transference-based theory such as Schema and evidence-based theory such as CBT. Thus, my treatment balances the exploration of experiential life with actionable change.

Are you unmotivated by everyday tasks and struggle to find where you belong in your social group? When you look in the mirror, do negative thoughts such as “I’m not enough” or “I feel hopeless” roam inside your brain? Do you find yourself freezing up in social situations, wishing you knew how to react? In a society plagued by institutional racism, gender inequalities, and generational differences, it is common to feel disheartened, anxious, and angry at ourselves and the world around us. By reaching out and prioritizing self-care, we can create a safe space to process difficult emotions and learn to manage your reactions.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Worried? Do you struggle with transition and change? Are you wondering how to silence that voice in your head asking “Am I even worth it?” and build confidence and self-trust? If these experiences and questions sound familiar to you I encourage you to reach out and we can begin to work through them. Life can often feel overwhelming and reaching out for support and prioritizing self-care can feel difficult. I am here to provide you with kindness, compassion, and help you believe that you are worth it. I work with young adults to help them understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behavior and how to transform harmful thought and behavior patterns. Together, we can build up your skills in navigating life transitions, managing mental health symptoms, reducing distress, exploring relationship problems, and developing long-term coping strategies through shared empathy and good humor as fellow humans. I am honored to work with you as my client.

Are you having trouble managing day-to-day worries and fears? Do you struggle with imposter syndrome in a world where everything is social media perfect? Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Finding yourself saying yes when you would rather say no? This can create anxiety and dissatisfaction in our lives and relationships and can leave us feeling resentful and unfulfilled. We’ll work together to dig deep, identify your challenges and create solutions to effectively manage the difficult situations you find yourself in over and over again. We’ll develop a plan to shift old patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from living your best life. My goal is for you to live more authentically with a greater sense of understanding and connection to yourself and others. I offer guidance and support in developing self-awareness and building effective coping skills to break free from anxiety and stress while accessing one’s own inner resilience, strength, and wisdom. If you are ready to find a new sense of confidence and meaning in your life, I’m here to help you get there.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor E. Frankl One of the greatest gifts we can grant ourselves is the gift of inner peace. While we may not have control over our environment, situations, or the actions of others, we do have the power to control our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. As a therapist-in-training, I am dedicated to helping clients identify and understand the connections between their thoughts, beliefs, actions, and the decisions that shape their daily experiences. My goal is to help you turn life's lemons into lemonade. We all encounter challenging experiences, and I understand the importance of having a robust support system, combined with the right resources, time, and commitment. My aim is to ensure you feel safe, understood, validated, empowered, and supported throughout our sessions. Together, we will explore various therapeutic interventions to identify the best fit for your individual situation. I am currently a second-year graduate student at UMGC/Salisbury-Global Campus, pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work. My experience includes working with wounded warriors and NATO allies stationed overseas, addressing issues such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, substance abuse, separation anxiety, and identity struggles.

MY ROLE AS YOUR THERAPIST is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for self-exploration and healing.

I AM HERE TO SUPPORT YOU with space and tools to recognize your own strengths and realize your potential for happiness. I believe that healing is most effective when all aspects of ourselves are aligned - mind, body, and spirit; therefore, my therapeutic approach is holistic, mindful, psychodynamic, collaborative, goal-oriented, and integrative.

Hi, I'm Stephanie. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who provides trauma-informed care to a wide variety of patients. I strive to provide a warm and safe space where patients can feel comfortable sharing without fear of judgment. My goal is to help my patients reflect on their values so that they can work towards what it means to be their "best self." I will always focus on treating the symptoms and not the "disorder," in an effort to tailor my approach to the individual. I believe deeply in fighting stigma associated with mental illness and am involved in advocacy and research outside of treating patients.
