Therapists for college students near New York University
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

I thought about listing all my education, training and clinical experience here but I don’t think that’s what you are truly interested in. I believe you want to know whether I would be a good person to work with, whether I can really understand what you are going through, whether you will feel safe talking to me, whether I know what I am doing, whether I am the right match for what you are seeking in therapy. All of those questions and concerns are absolutely valid and I know I was asking myself the same things before I started my own therapy many years ago. So maybe I will tell you a little bit about what it may be like working with me. I am a very active therapist who will get in the weeds with you. I will want to get to know you – who you are as a person, what is going really well in your life, what is missing, what you feel you would like to explore more or change, what your goals and dreams are and the obstacles that have prevented you from creating the kind of fulfilling life you deserve. I use humor often and we laugh a lot in my sessions. I aim to be authentic and honest while creating a warm and non-judgmental space for us to work in. I will be invested in your success and transformation – I get tremendous joy out of supporting my clients through their process of self-discovery and change. I will also challenge you to look at things that may make you feel uncomfortable and hold you accountable to achieving the goals we set up together. My specialties include anxiety, adjusting to college and stress related to academics or relationships, perfectionism, eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder) and disordered eating (including emotional eating, chronic dieting, excessive exercise, body image issues, binge eating, etc.). I want you to know that I am passionate about what I do and believe that therapy can truly be a transformative experience. Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. I am excited to get to know you and work together to create lasting change in your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for college students and young adults in the Pittsburgh area and throughout Pennsylvania via telehealth. Many of the students I work with are dealing with anxiety, academic pressure, relationship challenges, identity questions, and the stress of major life transitions. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented and collaborative. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Therapy provides a space to better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships while developing healthier ways of responding to stress. Students often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Together we work to clarify what is happening beneath the surface, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in areas such as anxiety, depression, relationships, and self-confidence. I provide both in-person sessions in Carnegie, Pennsylvania and secure online therapy throughout the U.S. via PSYPACT. Prior to private practice I trained and worked full time at five counseling counseling centers in various cities.
I am a body-centered psychotherapist who specializes in working with Queer and Trans folks as well as folks with trauma, and traumatic upbringing. Our work together will be relational, experiential & holistic. I want to know your lived experience, help deepen the connection between your mind & body, develop insight and awareness around patterns of thought and behavior that no longer serve you. We will cultivate compassion & presence, and tune in to your needs and desires to support your overall wellness. We will consider impact of oppressed identities, larger systemic dynamics and how they interact with your experience of yourself in the world. I believe in your capacity to heal.

Hello! My name is Abigayle Bennett, but you can call me Abi. I am in my second year of my Master’s of Social Work at Binghamton University and hold an Associate’s in Human Services and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Education. I have been working in children’s and family services for the majority of my career, and hope to eventually open a Child and Family Development Center and offer an inclusive space for families to seek tools and resources to improve their family’s mental well-being. I specialize in areas such as anxiety, mood disorders, parenting and family issues, relationships, self-esteem, self-harm, lgbtq+ youth, and domestic/sexual abuse. I strive to create a laid-back, open, and approachable environment in our sessions. I understand that starting therapy can be daunting, but I aim to make our therapeutic relationship as comfortable and supportive as possible. My goal is to be someone you feel at ease talking to so that you can freely share and explore your thoughts and feelings. I know how intimidating it can be to bare your soul to a stranger, so I want to work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship so we can tackle your needs as a team. I firmly believe that mental health has to start from a sort of ground-up perspective. In order to control your feelings, emotions, and reactions, you have to understand them and be able to respond to them using tools that meet you where you’re at. I practice primarily using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, attachment theory, and family systems theory. In our sessions, we will use an eclectic mix of various therapeutic frameworks to best meet your needs. In session, this may look like guided meditations, processing past traumas, exploring family dynamics, and cognitive reprogramming techniques. By utilizing a mix of modalities, we can work together to find ways to best respond to the difficulties and struggles you may be facing, and hopefully overall improve your quality of life.

College and medical school can be some of the most exciting — and overwhelming — years of your life. I work with college students and medical trainees navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, identity development, and life transitions.

I help students build emotional regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop resilience without sacrificing their ambition.

I especially enjoy supporting high-achieving students who feel like they “should” be fine but are quietly struggling. You don’t have to do this alone.
