Some days you’re holding it together. Other days it feels like everything’s slipping through the cracks. If anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles are making it hard to focus, connect, or feel like yourself, you’re not alone. Therapy is a place to talk things through without pressure or judgment—to get curious about what’s going on beneath the surface and start feeling more grounded, clear, and in control again. I believe that warmth, creativity and a sense of humor are cornerstones of...
Ricardo Bermudez, LCSW. I listen to people to get a sense of what their needs are. We work collaboratively to develop goals to support the therapeutic process. I work with a variety of people. It depends on the need for therapy and if I have the skills to support the issue. I am open-minded and do not judge anyone for their life circumstances. Listening is the most useful skill for a therapist. This is a safe space for you to talk and have someone hear you. This is a collaborative process, and y...
I help college students, graduate students, and university faculty manage stress, cope with painful emotions, and navigate school, work, and relationships. Higher education offers a huge opportunity for growth and self-discovery, but it also presents unique stressors and challenges. In addition to treating anxiety and depression, I work regularly with issues of perfectionism, peer comparison, academic pressure, and burnout. I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore ...
When we struggle with setting boundaries, building authentic relationships, or adapting to life changes, we often feel out of balance and disconnected from our true selves.

When grappling with hard questions like these, I am here to accompany you on your path to healing. With a nurturing and understanding approach, I create a safe envi...

Throughout my career, I've guided clients through a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, perfectionism, trauma, relationship difficulties, and transi...
Many of the students I work with are thoughtful, creative, and driven—but they also feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Some are dealing with high expectations, self-doubt, or pressure to be perfect. Others feel disconnected from their families or unsure about their identity. I work especially well with students who tend to think and feel deeply, including those who have a strong inner life, creative interests, or complicated relationships with ambition or independence. I often work with wom...

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, ...
I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and school stress. I spent more than two years working at Cornell's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), which provided me with deep knowledge of the ins and outs of their mental health system, along with the pressures that one can face at college in regard to competition, academic stress, and building social connection. Being from upstate NY, I also understand some of the isolative parts of the experience, and adj...

I work with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It can be hard to adjust to college life and even harder to navigate if you need ac...
We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move t...
