Therapists for college students near 10003
Hi! My name is Melissa Mason (she/her) and I'm a seasoned therapist with an established history of working with adolescents & young adults. I possess clinical expertise in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma & other co-occurring disorders & I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) designed to reduce symptoms of trauma & PTSD. In addition to my clinical training I have been extensively trained in the use of yoga & mindfulness as a complimentary intervention. I recognize the strong connection between mind & body & work to help clients develop practices that enhance their overall wellness. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that an effective therapist builds good relationships, built on mutual respect & trust. This sets the tone for the work & allows the client to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. I work with clients to develop insight into the function of their presenting problem without shame or judgement, allowing them to find alternative ways to get their needs met. I believe in taking a multidimensional approach to treatment & work collaboratively with allied professionals to ensure each patient is getting the most comprehensive care possible. I whole heartedly believe recovery from whatever you are struggling with is possible & aim to impart that hope to my clients. My approach is warm, open & non-judgmental. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/melissa-mason-fishkill-ny/789530

As humans we all have experiences of feeling stuck, or overwhelmed with life, or even having a loss of direction. This is completely normal, especially in our college years. The good news is, there are some really helpful tools you can learn to navigate through these challenging times, and really discover yourself! You already have the tools within you, my role is to show you how to access them in order to move forward in your life feeling confident and in alignment with your authentic self.

I am doing Tele-health sessions at this time. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood, trauma, or sexual orientation, and you are ready to make a change in your life, I would be glad to hear from you. As a therapist, I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental place for people to honestly examine their problems and develop the skills and behaviors that help them move forward with their lives. My approach is one of respect and warmth, and attention to the dignity of every person. Many of my clients have gone through traumatic or disorienting experiences, and struggle with depression, anxiety, or other debilitating emotional problems. Too often, we feel alone; and that our voices are not heard. I am here to guide you on your journey. You are not alone.
I am a New York State licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice, with an office in Mamaroneck, NY. During the covid pandemic, I am working with all clients using tele-health. I have had extensive training in Mindfulness, Acceptance & Compassion Based Therapies (aka 3rd Wave Therapy) From my diverse experiences I have learned that: The way you speak to yourself matters. Negative self talk can be detrimental and it can be changed. Shame is a major contributor of emotional suffering and mental illness. This emotion thrives in secrecy. Compassion is a reliable way of improving your relationships, with yourself and others. Life is hard, and many times unfair. Knowing what you need, and developing the skills to support those needs, helps make the best out of life's difficult situations.

Life is hard. For many of us, we often become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, fear, you name it. To make things worse, we experience trauma and discover that some of our deepest wounds come from our relationships. Of course, we want to protect ourselves from relationships, change, and the unknown. I get that. From working in schools, residential facility, and private practice setting, I've learned that there is also something inside each of us that yearns for healing, loving connection, and pure joy. So, what is getting in the way? Let's explore that together. I have a non-judgmental and compassionate approach when providing counseling for individuals. What that means is I relate to you as another imperfect human being who understands the impact of trauma, life transitions, stress, anxiety and several other factors that affect our day-to-day lives. I will offer you a space to freely explore your struggles and opportunities for healing. Let’s be real, we don’t know each other and it’s going to feel weird at first to share your story with me. I thank you for even considering. Sometimes the hardest step is the first one. I recognize and respect that. Whenever you’re ready, I am ready to join you. You don't have to figure it out on your own.
Have you ever experienced a feeling of constant worry or intrusive thoughts that you just can't get out of your head? Perhaps you experience a constant stream of "what ifs" for all of the possibilities that may happen or worry about being in new social situations. These feelings are particularly prevalent for college students, since you are managing a rigorous course load, creating new relationships and figuring out how to be an adult. It can be totally overwhelming, defeating and exhausting, and can get in the way of you living your life and having the college experience you’ve always imagined. I specialize in working with young adults who experience anxiety, social phobias and OCD. Reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we can be good fit!
You are not satisfied with what’s happening (or not happening) in your bedroom. -Maybe you would like more sexual intimacy with your partner and every time you ask for it, it blows up in your face because they think all you want is just sex. -Maybe you are struggling with performance anxiety and you’ve been avoiding sex so you don't have to face the sense of failure or disappointment that comes with it. -Or Maybe your low libido is making sex feel like a chore or obligation and is keeping you from enjoying your sex life all together. Then, let’s get to work! I help motivated individuals and couples that have the desire to reclaim their sexual self and reignite the passion in their relationship, relax and be playful with each other again.

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” Healing from trauma is a journey; a journey I would be honored to be on with you. My experience is working with children, adolescents and young adults who may have suffered from a trauma in their life, such as physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, etc. I work with young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety and transitions in their lives. When working with adolescents and young adults it is also important to incorporate the family in the journey of healing. My approach is holistic with a specialization of trauma. I believe in meeting each client where they are every time they walk through my door. I believe in seeing a person as a whole and finding strengths in every situation. I am passionate about helping clients take control of their lives and feeling empowered. For additional information, please contact me via phone or email. I look forward to talking with you soon!
Welcome! My work focuses on helping you overcome beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors that stem from difficult relationships and experiences throughout life. I recognize that our "bad" choices often arise from issues with our sense of self and self-worth, which we will explore and understand in our work together. My approach to therapy encourages you to embrace the freedom to be yourself, letting go of who or what you “should” be. I offer a warm and non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard and respected. I never tell you what to do because I trust that you know -- you just need to parse through some of the noise to get there.
