Therapists for college students near New Jersey Institute of Technology

The Essential Counseling Services team is a group of mental health providers helping adolescents and adults through challenging times. Our professional therapists help people heal through traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and other emotional hardships.

Every individual has a unique set of strengths and experiences. Making home, school and work happy, safe and successful requires harnessing existing skills, building new strengths, and carefully navigating challenges. I bring a holistic approach to helping foster positive social, emotional, and behavioral well-being across settings. Through my work with children, young adults, parents, school staff, and therapeutic providers, I understand the nuances necessary for successful growth. I offer a safe and trusting environment, where clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are impacting their lives and make intentional changes to achieve their goals. I bring extensive counseling and assessment experience. In addition to private therapy, I have extensive experience working with grades K-12 through school-based mental health counseling centers and special education programs designed for students who need additional learning, emotional, and / or behavioral supports.

Hi! I'm Dr. AlRoy, a Psychologist since 2000. I do everything in my power to resolve your issues and empower your relationships, school/work performance, and maximize your ability to earn money. I have a side practice of coaching, and in developing compensatory study and work skills for learning disabilities. Am able to do teletherapy in most US states - see psypact map: https://psypact.gov/page/psypactmap If this description appeals to you, you might like my style. Appointments available virtually, in midtown Manhattan or downtown Hoboken, NJ for consultations and/or ongoing treatment.

Growing up with learning disabilities, I had an experience that is all too familiar for the neurodivergent community. Often feeling misunderstood and out of place, I was faced with indifference, ignorance, neglect, gaslighting, shame, and the assumption that I could navigate a world that was not built for me without the support I so badly needed. Lonely, adrift, and struggling to find a sense of belonging, I was cast aside and left to fend for myself. After a series of negative experiences with mental health resources and support, my personal journey led me to a couples therapist in 2014. There, I embarked on a journey of transformation, and I was able to see the profound impact that the right therapy relationship could have on a person. It was then that I was introduced to Gestalt psychotherapy, which I immediately connected with. From there, I set forth on a new journey to study Gestalt psychotherapy at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy, a post-graduate training program. Pursuing this path, I have continued to experience connectedness, belonging, compassion, the wonder of curiosity, and love itself. Arriving at this place of acceptance and understanding changed everything for me. Understanding that this positive experience is not the norm for members of the neurodivergent community, I decided to dedicate myself to providing that same transformation for others. With this mission, I founded Welcome Home Healing in 2023. Since then, I have had the pleasure of helping many clients embrace their own innate worth, gifts, individuality, and the freedom to shed their masks of shame and self doubt.

Our team of therapists work with individuals and families at all stages of life. We offer a wealth of expertise in treating a full range of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal issues.

We help them to manage academic, campus, and social stressors and with ongoing identity development, future planning, and relationships of all kinds. Our therapists focus on promoting growth, change, resilience, and contentment.

We use multiple treatment approaches tailored to meet each client’s specific needs. These approaches include but are not limited to insight-oriented, interpersonal, mindfulness based, and cognitive-behavioral therapies.

I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey and New York with over 25 years of experience working with college and graduate students to improve their quality of life. I create a safe, supportive environment in which to explore what may be creating obstacles to taking control, feeling better and having more satisfying relationships. When people are in pain or feel “stuck”, this can help to empower them to make changes that lead to a healthier life. I have extensive experience working with diverse clientele who experience depression and anxiety, family and parenting issues, and grief and loss. I also address challenges around life transitions, questions of identity, chronic illness, and work stress/conflict. Certified in EMDR, I am passionate about exploring how this treatment can help individuals heal from life experiences that continue to negatively impact them. Appreciating one’s culture, family background and life experiences is essential to understand a person’s perspective and values to gain insights. I am a caring and respectful clinician who works collaboratively with clients to achieve outcomes important to them. Goals for therapy are discussed intentionally so that people achieve a greater sense of wellbeing in measurable ways. The relationship between myself and my client is a true partnership.

The transition to college can feel overwhelming, exciting and full of possibility, yet also uncertain and stressful. I work with college students and young adults who are navigating this new chapter while managing academic pressure, identity exploration, and changing relationships. As the daughter of immigrants, I have a deep passion for supporting immigrants and first-generation Americans. I understand the unique challenges that can come with balancing family expectations, cultural values, and personal goals. I strive to create a space where all parts of your experience are welcomed and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative and relationship-centered. I believe that a strong, trusting connection is the foundation of meaningful work. I take time to get to know you and tailor therapy to your individual needs, drawing from a variety of therapeutic strategies to create a personalized and supportive experience. Together, we will identify an approach that feels right for you and supports your growth, resilience, and well-being.

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.

College is this interesting time of transition where you are given an opportunity to explore independence away from your parents, hometown, and all that feels comfortable. But for many, this independence and freedom can be lonely, confusing and downright uncomfortable. You may feel like you are not cut out to succeed in such a high pressure environment. Decisions can seem overwhelming. Am I in the right major? What internship should I choose? Should I study abroad? Do I need to take a semester off? How do I manage my money? The pressure to perform academically can be intense and feel overwhelming. Picking a major, choosing classes, second guessing your decisions, and simply managing time and assignments can feel insurmountable. If you previously struggled with time management or organization, you may find your safety net is now far away and now your grades are suffering. I have worked with many students just like you. I work to treat a range on issues that get in the way of optimal academic performance - from depression to anxiety to ADHD. I further specialize in working with students who are also parents. Parenting young children while working towards your degree is no small feat. Pregnancy and/or postpartum during graduate school is challenging but together we can get through it.
