Therapists for college students near New York University

Welcome! I offer a light hearted, approachable, and down to earth experience during sessions. I want all of my clients to walk away feeling motivated and secure with his/her journey towards wellness. Maybe you feel like something is "wrong" with you, you're stuck in life, or you're not even sure how to cope. I can help you take those difficult steps forward. I work with many clients that are dealing with current or past traumas, general anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress management, and low self confidence. If you see yourself in any of those scenarios please reach out and let's talk! Allow me to be your sounding board. The first step towards healing is taking that initial step. Making sure my clients feel heard is my number one priority.

I work collaboratively with clients to gain an understanding of current problems, how they may have developed, and ways to make meaningful changes both internally and in one’s relationships. This might include skills based techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy, facing difficult emotions in a safe environment to gain a greater sense of control and acceptance around them, or understanding how past experiences may influence current emotional reactions. I specialize in improving relationship functioning and working with couples. I start a couples counseling session with an assessment which provides a detailed account of the strengths and challenges in a relationship. From there we work together to help each partner feel heard and understood so that those challenges can be addressed. If you are interested in individual or couples counseling, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have over the phone or via email. You can also fill out a client interest form at https://www.dr-saavedra.com/contact . If you do call or email, please state that you were referred by thriving campus.

In the quiet of my office, I will listen closely as you share who you are and what makes you and your life situation unique. I will guide you in expressing and exploring your challenges, then help you find practical solutions for what might now seem like insurmountable challenges. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma and anxiety. With a creative mix of therapy techniques, wisdom and life experience, I build on your strengths, identify and address root causes, and help you create and work towards a plan to achieve the changes you seek. I have advanced certification in EFT-tapping which can be used to process intense emotions and trauma. I spend a full-hour with you each session so I can guide you to a healthier, more productive place in life. My approach is compassionate and non-judgmental. Call now to schedule an appointment.

One of my favorite things a patient has said to me is - “Thank you for being part of my journey”. That’s what life is to me – a journey we are all on together. What I want for everyone is that they can overcome any barriers they may have so that they can become their whole selves and live life to its fullest. I work with many kinds of people from all walks of life on issues like neurodiversity, autism, anxiety, ADHD, family history, relationships, and couples’ concerns. I also have expertise working with college students, international students, young adults, and couples after working and training at the University of Rochester counseling center. I have done training specifically to provide therapy through an anti-racist lens and continue to reflect on my own whiteness. I use a mixed relational approach pulling from person centered therapy, existential therapy, DBT and more. I am committed to providing a safe, sex positive, non-judgmental space for trust and growth to happen. Are you looking for change? Are you ready to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and uncover your potential? Then give me a call or send an email and we can set up a consultation. Let’s start the conversation!

I have been working in college, young adult, and adult mental health for 20 years. I am board-certified in the treatment that works best in most cases, behavioral and cognitive therapy (CBT).

I also support individuals experiencing depression, difficulties with emotional regulation, and major life changes. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences while developing practical strategies to manage challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Life so far has been fairly manageable. However, you are now experiencing emotions you have never experienced before. Life has changed for better or worse, and you are finding it difficult to cope and comprehend your reaction. It is hard to pinpoint what you are feeling, and it may make it difficult to communicate to the ones you love. Perhaps a specific memory has come up for you and you are taken by surprise. Why is this happening now? You want answers. You want to gain a better understanding of what you are experiencing and how to move forward. My passion lies in helping others build confidence, find their voice, and connect to what matters most within as they navigate the many twists and unexpected turns life may present itself with. It is a great honor to be welcomed into the sharing of one's unique life experiences. I truly enjoy walking alongside the individuals I have the pleasure of working with on their journey to gaining a better understanding of themselves and what they want out of life. If this resonates with you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

I am person-centered. I work collaboratively with clients, providing individualized care customized to address your needs and concerns. It is my belief that the client is the expert of their own lives, and I am along on the journey to provide the therapeutic support needed. I prefer to use trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and behavioral approaches to assist with achieving your goals.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to connect! You likely wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t struggling with the pressures of life, and the demands placed upon you from both internal and external sources. I would like to take the time to acknowledge that where you are in your journey to find help is challenging and I am here to make that process as smooth as I am able. The first thing to know about me is that I attempt to live my life in an authentic manner that honors my truth, self-identity, and worldview; while helping others discover what that may look like for them. Some of the roles I fill in my life are husband, father, son, sibling, friend, mentor, and helper. While each of these roles is unique and requires special attention, they each contribute to my passion in life and therapeutic approach. I began my journey to becoming a therapist almost a decade ago, when I realized my previous career in healthcare management was not aligned with my passions and purpose in life. I found myself running businesses for other people who were focused on profits and growth, but lacking a focus on people and connection, which is where my heart finds fulfillment. It was then I decided to change my career path and further my knowledge in the human experience. With the goal of learning how to connect with others in a meaningful way that can lead to growth and healing, I pursued my education and licensure as a clinical mental health counselor. Through a person centered approach, which employs a wide variety of evidence based interventions, I work with my clients to achieve their goals in a way that fits them individually. I believe that every person is unique and can benefit from unconditional acceptance and compassion. By creating this environment of acceptance, we are able to identify areas that you want to change and implement strategies tailored to your experience. I look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to help you along your journey. Contact information: jwhitlock@truedirectionmhc.com or Phone: 845-264-2477
