Therapists for college students near 10003

For many, college is the best of times..the newfound freedom to discover who you are and where you’re going in your career and your relationships and the sense of all that’s possible. But, for others, it’s also the worst. Why? Because this is also a time of existential crises. New freedoms bring up so many questions: Is this really the relationship or career I want to pursue? If this is such a great time in my life, why do I feel so anxious, stressed, or depressed? Why can’t I regularly tap into the motivation I want to do all the things I’ve always wanted to do? Imagine how it feels… the waves constantly coming at you. You personally have to navigate these situations, because you’re the only one with all the answers. But it feels scary and shameful that you don’t have the foggiest clue of what you’re doing. And shouldn’t you already know by now?? Not at all! Truth is, college is a much more difficult time than most people acknowledge. But hard times can also be opportunities… for you to discover more fully who you are and how to embrace this ‘not-knowing.’ Our work together will help you learn how to make sense of all these different feelings, and cultivate the creativity needed to make something interesting and new out of all those questions. Instead of being pummeled by the waves, you can actually surf them! Instead of getting pulled in by the undertow, the barrage of self-critical and anxious thoughts that keep you up at night, I’ll help you learn how to approach these without fear and harness them so you can find your answers. Let’s get started! If you’re excited about putting aside the worry and the stress and finding your energy and direction again, call or email me so we can get started. College can be that great time you’d always hoped it would be.

Are you a deep thinker? Do you benefit from processing situations and thoughts out loud? Together we can navigate the challenges of being a young adult in college. I have over a decade of experience helping young people focus on their mental and emotional health so they can achieve their life goals. I work well with students who are open to being challenged and are seeking better coping and communication skills, working on healthy boundaries and relationships, and achieving a better understanding of themselves.

My approach to therapy is strengths based and collaborative. Therapy will be a place for you to learn more about yourself and how to move your life in a valued direction. I am neurodiversity affirming, LGBTQIA affirming, and culturally responsive. Treatment will draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques rooted in goal-oriented strategies and interventions.

Connection is healing, and change happens when trust exists. My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I work to cultivate a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, empathy, and respect. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, and my therapeutic approach is strength-based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that conform to the individualized needs of my clients. I draw from mindfulness-based approaches while incorporating cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused techniques. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have over 20 years of experience working as a mental health counselor in various settings, including community-based agencies, public schools, and higher education. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, adjustment issues, and recovery from trauma. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I applaud your willingness to take those next steps! If you are ready, I am here to support and empower you.

We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment services for a wide array of psychological issues to help you and your family reach your fullest potential. Our mission is to work collaboratively with our patients and their families to provide them the tools necessary to succeed in life.

If you are ready for a change and your old patterns are not working for you, together we will explore healthy, realistic changes to improve the quality of your life and relationships. I work with my clients to help identify and explore ways to help make their everyday life and struggles easier. Together we build a trusting environment to create positive change. I help my clients address mental health needs such as depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I believe that counseling is a pathway for growth and healing. My job as your counselor is to give you the tools to do just that. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic and genuine. I find that both challenge and encouragement helps individuals make optimal changes. I aim to teach skills that will help you better manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and inviting space with the opportunity to promote self-reflection. I would like to help you develop hope and positive curiosity about your inner life and the opportunities for growth and healing that lie before you. I look forward to the opportunity to guide you along this path!

I understand you may be experiencing excessive worry, anxiousness, pounding chest, and shortness of breath and cannot understand why. Or you may be feeling down, not able to enjoy the things you once enjoyed, feel like you don’t want to get out of bed; I don’t want you to continue to suffer anymore; I will work with you to provide a combination of medication and therapy that will give you the relief you are seeking and give you your life back.

Life can have its challenging moments, especially during this time of uncertainty and quick changes. Throughout our life we develop methods of coping that, at one time, perhaps helped us to survive, but now prevent us from ultimately thriving. This can manifest in our relationship patterns and our mood which can cause disruption in work, love, family, friendships and a healthy identity. I am here to help support you through these changes as well find new ways to create balance and better manage the stressors influencing your daily life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, life changes, or processing this past year, I am here to listen. While I am licensed as an art psychotherapist, creating art during session is not required.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards meeting with a therapist! You feel that that you don't have a good sense of who you are. You behave in different ways around your friends, family members, and colleagues. It's hard for you to keep your emotions in check and at times you feel your emotions are out of control. As a result, you react in ways that make things more challenging for yourself and others. Your relationships often have conflict, friends don't seem to stick around, and you can't figure out why. You wonder if you're doing something wrong and if there is something you can do differently. You question why things at home, with work/school, or with relationships can't be easier. When you try to handle these problems, it seems like things only get better for a little while, or they just get worse. I help clients figure out what truly matters most to them in life; assist clients in learning how to connect with and live in the present moment; support clients in finding ways to handle intense emotions, respond in ways that don't erupt their relationships, and to weather through the tough times.

I’m a good fit for students who get trapped in their head—overthinking everything, replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like they can’t relax unless everything is “handled.” You might be high-achieving, but constantly stressed, exhausted, or scared of messing up. Sometimes that turns into procrastination, avoidance, or feeling numb. In therapy, we’ll focus on helping you calm the mental noise, handle stress more effectively, and build confidence in your choices—so school and life don’t feel like a constant emergency.

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!
