Therapists for college students near New Paltz, NY

I support young adults who feel overwhelmed with school stress and anxiety, depression, relationship stress/dating confusion, and needing support with managing emotions. In our work together, we focus on: Calming the mental overload and racing thoughts, feeling more in control during moments of anxiety or panic, breaking out of overthinking and self-doubt, set healthy boundaries in relationships while working on the guilt, and building coping tools that actually work in real life. I’ll meet you where you are while also helping you move forward in ways that feel doable. If you're looking for support and practical tools to start feeling better, I’m here to help.

My name is Soren and I work with people of all ages to help them grow in whatever directions feel the most authentic. If you are feeling misunderstood, lost, trapped, or alone, my practice is a safe space for you. Many times we hide our deepest truths from others and even from ourselves in order to keep moving forward and not make a fuss or ignite difficult emotions. However, this denies us the chance for a more full and connected life. Life is hard, beautiful, and confusing. In my work we learn to hold space for all of these truths and explore them honestly. We are so often told what to do and who to be in this world, that we can lose sight of our intrinsic, genuine selves and desires. I help my clients move towards holistic connection with themselves and others through learning to live in more authentic and fulfilling ways. The path I take with each client is unique and matches their natural ways of healing. Each person has the ability to feel whole, valuable, and content in their lives. I like to give my clients the support and perspective that they need to fulfill this potential. I know counseling can be a challenging journey, but I am here to be a partner on that path and provide you with the warmth, understanding, joy, and safety you deserve.

Whatever your struggle may be at this time, you do not need to face it alone. Often times we can become overwhelmed with our circumstances, we can feel down about who we are, or we allow fear to block us from reaching our full potential.

Counseling works best when the focus is on getting back to yourself. It is a space to seek guidance, introspection, and wellness all geared around your own unique strengths, interests, and needs. Counseling is not about "fixing" you, it's about exploring and connecting with your own capabilities to bring you the wellness you deserve. When I work with clients it's important to guide you down your own path of wellness and to use my skills and expertise to help you embody your own power to heal. Through narrative and mindfulness based approaches we will work together to connect to your emotions and learn from your own self what it is you need to thrive. With over a decade of experience working in the mental health field in a variety of settings, I have gathered wisdom and knowledge from a variety of frameworks, such as person centered care, cognitive behavioral therapy, and crises and stress management, to address a variety of concerns such as trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, personal identity, goal setting, sexuality, grief, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, mind-body healing and so much more.

You have a story to tell. Every chapter of our lives presents new challenges and asking for help can be incredibly tough. Deciding to speak with a therapist sounds so simple, but we all struggle with this simple act of vulnerability. You may be struggling to find a sense of purpose in life, navigating difficult transitions and feel constantly overwhelmed, or making new discoveries about who your identity. I will be there to support you through your journey. Let's begin writing the story of your life you want to tell. Nobody likes working towards inauthentic or forced objectives and we will work together as a team to create our goals and guide treatment. I specialize in art-based interventions and adjust my approach to each individual client using evidence-based treatments. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents, the queer community, geeky folks, and young adults. Connecting with your therapist is difficult; I've had a few therapists myself who I did not relate to. Through a strong connection and trust will, you will feel valued, heard, and appreciated as we work towards your personal progress. Let's start today!

My approach to therapy is focused on developing genuine relationships that are collaborative and empathic, so clients can feel safe, understood, and supported in sessions.

I work with adults focused on issues related to social anxiety, ADHD, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship/communication dynamics, and climate anxiety. Sessions are based on a foundation of relational warmth and safety to build a sense of connection, empowerment, deeper insight, and personal resiliency. I primarily draw from person-centered, feminist, trauma-informed, narrative, and IFS approaches, but there is not one specific kind of therapy that works well for everyone. We all have unique strengths and perspectives. Sessions focus on identifying ways to create sustainable positive changes given each client's particular context and lived experience.

Hi All! I’m a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience. I have worked with college students since 2003, first in my postdoctoral fellowship at Purchase College, then through my private practice in New Paltz since 2005, and for 2 semesters at Marist College (2019 and 2022). College psychotherapy is my thing… So many developmental changes and challenges occur during these years. I love this work. I won’t take, or keep, anyone just for the sake of building my practice- it’s built! Let’s see if we’re a good fit. Trauma and anxiety, lgbtqia+, athletes, are a few areas I particularly enjoy. If eating disorder or substance abuse are primary issues I might refer…

Are you finding yourself overwhelmed by your new environment, new people and a lack of connection? Are you concerned what your next step might be? Are you unsure who to turn to discuss your concerns? Have you been drinking or smoking more than usual to help ease the anxiety, loneliness or uncertainty? College is a very stressful time for the most well adjusted person, I am here to listen, guide and support you through your adjustment. I will help you explore your areas of concern. I am here to guide you, not tell you what you need. You are the expert of your life, I can offer you skills to help you overcome the uncomfortable feelings. I offer online therapy as well as in-person sessions. I believe therapy is an opportunity for people to develop insight into themselves in order to find self-acceptance and a deeper connection with others. We will explore the barriers that are interfering with reaching your desired goals. I will support you in developing new coping strategies that can be applied to a variety of life situations. Feelings are overwhelming and unhealthy patterns are developed as a defense. I will encourage you and gently guide you through the challenges.

Therapy should feel like an exclusive experience. It should not be a cookie cutter or one size fits all process. As your partner, I will be there every step of the way, challenging you to grow, while at the same time helping you to honor the person you have always been. I believe in fostering a non-judgmental and safe space for clients to express themselves and explore difficult feelings.

Take heart! I want to say it is our actual, living birthright to heal any disempowering history, whether circumstantial, or chronic. Over the years, students have come with trauma, depression, anxiety, identity and spiritual concerns, academic pressures, relationship, family, and work conflicts - each can begin to shift as we change our familiar thoughts, feelings, and relationship to the past. This is the contract we honor in a therapeutic partnership. I have made it my life's work to train with the originators of powerful techniques engaging the mind, heart, and spirit - from the unconscious to the transpersonal - so that you can step out of your own way, & shift into relief, and resolution! This is the work we have been accomplishing together in therapeutic alliance for 25+ years. The best way to reach me is (845)256-0047.
