Therapists for college students near New York University

I have experience helping people of all ages and backgrounds. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, feeling stuck, coping with transitions, chronic stress, low self-worth, substance abuse, or relational stress, we can work on these things together. I offer a safe and supportive space for you to explore the underlying issues of what is going on. This is a collaborative process where we can examine the behaviors and thought patterns you are experiencing and how they are affecting you. Life can present itself with many hardships and transitions. Whether you’ve been in therapy before, or if it is your first time, there is no better time than now to get the extra support you need.

Hi ! I am Samah, a South Asian therapist originally from India. I specialize in working with students, including international students, people of color, and immigrants who are navigating not just academics, but identity, belonging, and the pressure to succeed. As an immigrant myself, I understand how cultural expectations can affect us and manifest as beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that may not serve us; therefore, we will navigate these concerns together in a way that allows you to uphold your cultural values while building a strong sense of self. I understand what it’s like to begin this journey away from family, balancing the guilt of leaving loved ones behind while trying to build a new life. It can feel like you’re living between two worlds: holding onto your cultural identity while also trying to adapt, grow, and find your place in a new environment. This experience can bring up feelings of isolation, anxiety, and self-doubt, even when things seem to be going well on the outside. In our work together, I aim to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as your full self. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, academic pressure, or questions around identity and family, we can explore these challenges at your pace and help you feel more grounded and confident in who you are becoming.

I am a bilingual Latinx clinician with years of education, training, and clinical experience as a psychotherapist and social worker. As a proud second-generation Latinx person, I understand the importance of respecting your unique intersectionality and the desperate need to decolonize psychotherapy.

I may be a person of color trained in some of the top educational institutions, but I have never lost sight of the complex challenges we have and continue to face daily in our society. Together, we can explore the beauty and power of the unique intersectionality we each experience. So, contact me, and we can discuss the next steps. I work with Horizon Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna, Oscar Health, United Healthcare, Oxford, Aetna, Optum, Headway, and Alma. Out-of-pocket and sliding scale options are available.

MY VIEW ON THERAPY As a fellow New Yorker who balances personal and professional commitments, managing life’s multiple roles is a necessity. Therapy can serve as the missing link to one’s happiness and future success. In our work together, discovering how to live exactly the life that you want is paramount.

As a trained psychologist, I provide integrative strengths-based psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in scientifically backed, evidence-based psychology methods. Through our work together, you’ll unlock your confidence, understand yourself more fully, and add coping skills to your toolbox to use for the rest of your life. You’ll look within to navigate your life and make decisions moving forward. MY STYLE I’ve worked with creatives, professionals, CEOs, college students, and entrepreneurs. I work best with people who take an active role in discovering fulfillment. I’m caring, curious, warm, and interactive. I’m highly motivated to help you transform your life and get your needs met. I believe that everyone is capable of thriving.

We’ll balance the seriousness with laughter, and you’ll start to notice changes in your mood from our first session. When not in the office, I am facilitating meditation and mindfulness workshops in schools, clinics, and the community. Weather permitting, I can be found at various parks throughout Manhattan enjoying the natural beauty, a good book, or others’ dogs. MY PROFESSIONAL TRAINING I have worked in urban and suburban public and private schools, community mental health clinics, and outpatient clinics providing therapeutic services to individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. After years in the field, I’ve honed my expertise and continue regular training in these areas: anxiety and stress reduction, relational concerns (family, romantic, peer, work relationships), college transitions, career/executive coaching, low self-esteem, and mood disorders.

I provide psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis for adult individuals of all ages, identities, and backgrounds. I use several therapeutic techniques and an integrative approach that is tailored to suit the needs of each individual patient. I believe in the transformative powers of honesty, authenticity and unconditional positive regard. Therapy is ultimately about meaning making. I listen closely to my patients without judgment and without jumping to conclusions. My goal is to understand you on your own terms—free of any rigid diagnoses or other labels. I believe that the heart of this work resides in the therapeutic relationship itself, and to this end, I seek to build bridges of clarity and comfort between us. Our work together will consist of attempting to understand you in a holistic, depth-oriented manner. We will consider how your past might be effecting your present—have you developed patterns in your life that are inhibiting and no longer serve you well? I understand that some people seek out therapy to address a discrete, well-defined issue, while others come out of a more abstract, gnawing sense that something in their life needs to change.

My experience as a therapist includes working at the NYU Counseling Services for many years. I have a deep understanding of the challenges both undergraduate and graduate students face with the changes, separations and transitions involved in becoming independent adults. It is a time filled with excitement as well as stress and worries about the future. The internal and external pressures, expectations from family and demands of the academic world can feel overwhelming at times. For graduate and doctoral students, there are the stressors of completing programs, dissertations and the challenges of seeking employment. Students may also be struggling with feeling alone, isolated, anxious, depressed, dealing with body image self-esteem and sexuality issues as well as social pressures around alcohol and other substances. Therapy can help in navigating these challenges, offer insight and reduce stress. I am a compassionate, extensively trained and interactive therapist. Together, we can work to develop strategies, address negative patterns of thought and behaviors, manage stress and help you deal with relationships more effectively. I am also trained and certified in clinical hypnosis which can be very useful in managing the physical and psychological symptoms of stress and anxiety including phobias, GI issues such as IBS as well as reducing symptoms of depression while increasing self-confidence and success.
