Therapists for college students near 10003

Everything you need to cope with the struggles you're going through is inside of you as you read this. Our job as your therapist is to act as a mirror so that you can truly see yourself for the first time. We will be a sounding board for you to start the conversations that you need to have with yourself and potentially with others. We provide a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space where you can feel free to express yourself and be as open as you feel comfortable. We specialize in working with women, especially women of color, who need help learning to cope with stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. We have vast experience working with clients who have survived trauma during various stages of life. We can all use help from others, especially when we're going through a particularly tough time. Even at a time where you may feel like you don't know what on earth is going on and everything is upside down, you know that something has to change. Let's make some changes together!

Welcome to my practice! My name is Nick and I am a licensed mental health counselor, credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor, and board certified telemental health provider. All services are offered online only. Most of our suffering derives from within. Imagine if you talked to a loved one the way you talk to yourself, or if someone spoke to you the way you speak to yourself. It would be unacceptable and it would not be tolerated. Yet we surrender to these thoughts, repeating the same hurtful, debilitating monologue in the echo chamber of our mind. Herein lies the certainty that derives from being on your own, stuck in a position you never reasoned yourself into in the first place. As you develop an awareness of these thoughts that have so greatly affected your life, you’ll learn how to develop a new, more rational narrative based on the values and beliefs that you yourself will create. As your therapist, my job is to navigate this process as you learn to actively change your thoughts, which change your feelings and impact your actions. I am a firm believer in achieving functionality. We want life to work for us, and not against us. Being a flawed, living, breathing human being, I too struggle with this everyday, and I bring that intense desire to make things work in the therapeutic relationship. We work together to solve the ambivalence. It is understandable that when it comes to our motivation to change, we have our ups & downs. I know what it feels like to be stuck. It’s painful, and when you’re in it, you think it will never end. The good news is that it does, and the process of seeing that end can be so much better having someone that understands you by your side, every step of the way. So are you ready to get started?

My practice serves children, adolescents, young adults struggling with educational issues, career development, the artistic community and general population. My offices are located in midtown Manhattan and Toms River South Jersey. I direct my patients to feel confidence in their autonomy and potential. They find me approachable, accepting and respectful of their privacy. All ages feel comfortable in sessions; share the follies and humor in life with me and eventually work towards acceptable solutions. I work on the need for personal development, independence, academic progress and career plans throughout the developmental spectrum. In addition, I lecture for professional schools and organizations on "Resilience in Children" and "Complexity of Child Therapy".

Do you find yourself feeling anxious in relationships? Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating old behaviors? Is your relationship to sex or substances becoming difficult to manage? Are you battling internal voices that say you aren’t good enough? Has life thrown you a curve ball that’s making day-to-day living increasingly difficult? My practice focuses on young adults dealing with relationship challenges, compulsive behaviors, issues of self worth, and major life transitions. Together we create a way for you to move through these issues. For some, that means a structured approach with homework and a focus on applying skills outside of session. For others, it could mean lots of space to be reflective and identify long standing patterns. And still with others it could mean working with visualization and the way the body holds emotional distress. Therapy is an invaluable tool for navigating the turbulence we encounter in society, at work, in our relationships, or when we are alone. It provides a space where we can better understand ourselves, and embrace our experience. A space where we can experiment with new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I provide psychotherapy for young adults experiencing attention/executive functioning difficulties, anxiety, school/work stress, relationship issues, difficulty coping with life transitions, and more. I work with individuals to enhance self-understanding, improve communication skills, and develop effective solutions to achieve their goals. I draw from many treatment models and approaches, including developmental, cognitive behavioral, relationship-based, and collaborative problem-solving approaches. Typically, psychotherapy is weekly, and is always specifically tailored to meet each individual’s needs.

Are you an artist, entertainer, or creative struggling with your mental health? Individuals who work with me are often people with big dreams and ambitions, but who also happen to deal with anxiety and depression. They understand that in order to do their best in their work, working on themselves in a must. With my own prior experience working in the arts, I am able to connect to my clients on a deeper level to help them achieve their artistic and personal goals. Helping artists and creatives navigate their mental health has become a life passion, and is the main focus of my private practice. Managing mental health while dealing with the ups and downs of the arts industry is no easy task. Having a provider that understands these unique challenges and addresses them regularly can help. You don't have to go through these challenges on your own, and there is help out there. Please reach out so we can discuss your goals for treatment, and begin your wellness journey! I believe in offering free 15 minute phone call consultations, so we can both see if it is a good fit. Hope to hear from you soon.

I work hard to create a safe and inviting space for my clients to work on whichever problems they choose to bring into their sessions. My approach reflects my empathic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate style. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in treatment, as I believe that healing happens when there is a strong therapeutic alliance. I collaborate with and empower my clients to harness or reclaim their inner strength and power. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, work/life stress, life transitions, and trauma.

Have you experienced significant life changes recently and are having a hard time adjusting? Have you been feeling lost, lonely, isolated, anxious, or frustrated? Has serious illness entered your life or the life of a loved one, creating new challenges in adaptive coping and finding meaning in your life? Are you navigating profound grief and loss? I believe that by working together, we can identify and enhance your strengths while working on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful social connections. Each person is unique and deserves a care plan designed for them. For some people, a therapist is a sounding board and place to process through life experiences with someone who is non-biased, or maybe what you're seeking is encouragement, accountability, or assistance in assessing your lived experiences. While my approach is eclectic and strengths-based, it is informed by Acceptance and Commitment therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and a mindfulness/ mind-body connection approach. I am a certified yoga teacher and am working toward a Yoga Therapy certification. I am comfortable bringing in elements of mind body connection, breathwork and meditation if that is something of interest to you. Together we will build your resiliency and empower you to experience your most authentic self. I look forward to hearing form you and embarking on this journey together!

"It's a privilege to be able to bear witness to someone's story when they may not have had the chance to tell it before." I’m here to hear you; to sit with you through the tough stuff, lift you up, challenge you, and cheer you on as we work together to identify and reach your goals. I help teens and young adults challenge depression, face their anxiety-driven fears, build self-confidence, and manage life’s stressors by taking a hands-on approach to problem-solving and building upon meaningful changes. I will help you identify and utilize your strengths, establish positive coping skills, improve communication, reframe the way you think, and build healthy habits. You are the author of your story, and I am eager to hear your history and help you identify what your next chapter holds. I believe people begin to heal the moment they feel heard, so it is my honor to be on the receiving end of what you are ready to share. I specialize in anxiety, stress, OCD, perfectionism, and body focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking and hair pulling. I will also work with you on self-esteem/body image, relationship conflicts, time management, depression, and life transitions.

My practice specializes in Millennial and Gen Z clients, especially college/grad students and young professionals. I help them to find their balance in this chaotic world, so that they can finally enjoy all they’re doing and working for—instead of letting anxiety, stress, and insecurities call the shots. My clients may be driven or thoughtful, and from the outside, it may look like they are doing OK. But on the inside, they feel defective and alone, like everyone else must know some secret to life that they don't. If you're feeling that way, I get how painful and exhausting it can be. I'd love to help you get to a better place. Most of my clients come in for help with anxiety, depression, traumatic or upsetting memories, or just feeling overwhelmed. For some there's a sense of being in "quarter life crisis." They're needing support navigating school, work, relationships, self-esteem, or the transition to college or postgrad life. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD, autism, and others), unconventional thinkers, and deep feelers. I affirm and embrace what makes each client unique. My active, personalized approach draws from CBT, ACT, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Reach out anytime. I’d love to connect!

Cooper Mental Health Counseling was developed by its founder Dr. Marty Cooper. There are several principles that guide our work. We believe that in order to help you we need to understand your concern from your perspective. We believe that you can feel better. Our focus is on your whole life and by maintaining this focus you have the potential to radically change your life. Although we recognize that therapy may be difficult at times, we believe that you have the possibility of finding something awesome on the other side. We will work tirelessly with you to help you develop a road map that may guide you for years beyond your work with us.

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.

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.

One of the greatest gifts I've received in my 19+ years of private practice, has been to witness individuals as they move towards healing, and discover a more fulfilling, whole life. The hold an eating disorder, anxiety or trauma can have on a life is profound. To watch the grip loosen, and healing emerge, is very moving. I enjoy learning, and collecting new tools and skills to help my clients. After I obtained my MSW from New York University's School of Social Work, I completed postgraduate training in eating disorders and body image issues at the Women's Therapy Centre Institute, and in Trauma Studies at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. In addition, I completed a three-year training in Somatic Experiencing, and have assisted at professional trainings, helping other therapists to learn the model. I've led eating disorder groups for New York University's Counseling Center and various non-profit organizations, and have served as both a lecturer and group case consultant on eating disorders and trauma at postgraduate institutes in New York City. Interested in creating a culturally and spiritually sensitive practice, I completed a two-year program studying the world's major faith traditions, in an effort to better understand my clients from all backgrounds. I do not take any insurance. My fees range from $150-175 based on need, and I do not presently have a sliding scale beyond that range. If you have questions, or would like to request an appointment, please feel free to contact me. I offer ONLINE ONLY therapy in CA, CO and NY.

Hi! I offer an approach that is trauma-informed and holistic, and grounded in bodily autonomy, liberation, and anti-racism. I am particularly dedicated to those who have been excluded from mainstream therapeutic spaces.

My approach is informed by my shared identities and experiences with these communities.

I offer psychotherapy, EMDR, DBT, IFS, grief counseling, somatic approaches, and harm reduction counseling. All sessions remote.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or drained? Do you feel like no one understands what you have gone through/are going through? Or do you find that you keep your feelings and personal experiences to yourself so you’re not a burden to others? You are not alone. It is not uncommon to feel disconnected and lonely, especially in this day and age. My name is Patricia Sibiga and I am a graduate student at CUNY Hunter studying Mental Health Counseling. My goal is to work together to talk through feelings of dissatisfaction and having a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and heard. Being vulnerable about your feelings and experiences can feel really scary and hard to do, especially if you have experienced being shut down when trying to in the past. Holding onto difficult feelings on your own can start to feel like a weight on your shoulders that continues to get heavier without an end in sight. Starting therapy can help to release that weight and strengthen your resilience to life’s inevitable encounters. My ambition as a therapist-in-training is to create a space where you are able to discuss these feelings and experiences without feeling shut down and unheard. You deserve to have a space in your life to discuss these topics in a non-judgmental, uplifting environment! My practice is rooted in psychodynamic, CBT, and mindfulness based approaches with a sprinkle of somatic therapy. With these theoretical approaches, we can work together to learn how current and past experiences are impacting your day-to-day, to practice grounding and mindfulness, and discover healthy cognitive behaviors and coping skills that may help with psychological distress. Patricia Sibiga is a therapist-in-training at Sol Health. Sol Health is a digital health startup that offers $30 therapy to Gen Zs by connecting them with therapist-in-training accruing clinical hours.
