Therapists for college students near New York University
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.
Virginia Psychology is dedicated to delivering exceptional assessment and therapeutic treatment to individuals across the lifespan.

Managing anxiety and chronic stress can be isolating, but you do not need to do it alone. Do you feel consumed by worry? Like you're always waiting for the next disaster to strike? Do you find it difficult to be present in your life due to racing thoughts or feelings of dread? Have you been struggling with the exhaustion, tension, or panic that never seems to leave you? You see where you want to be, but you're feeling stuck and are uncertain about the next steps. You can grow and heal by voicing your thoughts in a safe environment, exploring your emotions, and expressing yourself in a purposeful way! We are all trying to cope with life's continuous changes. During our sessions, we will evaluate where unhelpful thoughts and ways of coping originated from and create goals to lead to healthier habits and a deeper sense of self. Since the body and mind are connected, we will also focus on managing the physical symptoms of stress to support overall wellness. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize that everyone has a unique story and I would be privileged to hear yours and to walk alongside you in your healing journey. I invite you to reach out via email or my website to book a free 15-min consultation. During that time, we can discuss what therapy may consist of for you.

In sessions, we will explore the nature of your symptoms, learn tools you can use to manage these symptoms, and aim to reach a point where you can live the life you value and desire!

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.

My name is Ann Schuhlein. I am a graduate intern and currently attending the University of Rochester - Warner School of Education for Mental Health Counseling. I provide a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring and expressing their thoughts and feelings. My therapeutic approach aligns with individualized treatment plans and goals of each client.

Hi I'm Liz! I know that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make it a comfortable one. I’m here to offer a space where you can feel understood, supported, and free to just be yourself. I help individuals who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or difficult transitions so they can regain a sense of control, confidence, and calm in their everyday lives. My approach centers on uncovering patterns, improving emotional regulation, and offering strategies that fit your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and feelings that may be holding you back. I’ll help you build simple, practical tools to manage stress, ease anxiety, improve self-talk, and move through life’s challenges with steadier confidence.
I’m a caring, outdoor loving, problem solving person at heart. I’m passionate about helping others feel alive, confident and encouraged. I have found many tools along my professional and personal journey to support people in managing painful emotions, de-escalating family and partner conflict and living a life informed, not run, by emotions. I’ve experienced how strong and complicated, messy and beautiful families can be. I’ve also seen how trauma, seemingly “small” or “large,” can affect a person and those closest to them, how it can empower and debilitate. Emotions can be confusing and they can also help cultivate our strengths. When it comes to facing painful emotions, people can sometimes feel alone, scared and hopeless, with nowhere to turn. There are resources, places, people and skills that can help. You don’t have to do this alone. I want you to know that it’s possible to find comfort and hope in the midst of loss, trauma, conflict or whatever challenge you may be facing. While I believe one of the most important factors in making therapy work for you is how you connect with your therapist, it’s also important you be given the tools and care to move you toward your goals. All too often I’ve seen how discouraged people become by mental health care and it’s my goal to provide a service that is routed in effective methods and treatment and a genuine, caring space for you to share and shape your story. I am committed to helping individuals and families get “unstuck” and lead you toward experiencing joy, genuine connection, hope and the ability to access your strengths, passions and resources. No matter what your age, socio-economic status, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or culture, mental health can affect us all; and sometimes these factors can unfairly make it even more challenging to navigate. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone to talk and heal.

In our work together, you will find a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards lasting change. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I am passionate about helping you discover your strengths and resilience. Outside of my professional life, I find joy in listening to soca and reggae music and capturing moments through photography.

Let's work together to create a brighter and more fulfilling future.
Those who seek my services are often looking to quiet their anxious minds, set boundaries in their relationships, and feel more confident on their life path. Trying to balance personal relationships with career/school, all while trying to convince everyone that you're in control and that you know what you're doing is exhausting. Life doesn't have to feel this hard! Our work together will involve identifying and removing barriers to your ideal life. Often that means learning to quiet the anxious voice inside your mind, shifting perspective, and unlearning the behaviors which have kept you stuck for so long. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” strategy. That is why I take the time to get to know you, see issues through your perspective, and create an individualized plan to help you reach your goals.
