Therapists for college students near New York University
Therapy can feel intimidating. Together, we can create a space that feels comfortable and secure. I invite compassion and safety with all of your life's challenges. I specialize in navigating big life transitions, reducing stress/anxiety and offering practical tools that help facilitate your day to day. I love being a therapist, and helping my clients improve their mental health.
I approach my work with clients as a collaborative process, with empathy and trust as the most important factors. I find genuine connection to be healing, and I feel fortunate to provide that for clients in supporting them through self exploration and overcoming challenges. I believe anyone can benefit from counseling, whether it’s to sort through past experiences, deal with current struggles, or work towards future goals. Taking an integrative style to therapy, I am able to adjust my approach to the unique needs of each client.
I understand college can be a huge transitional point in life. It is a time where most are gaining agency and control over their lives and that can get tough at times for us all. Let's see if we can work together to give you some tools to feel ready to live that life!
Many of the people I work with have complicated histories and families. They have struggled with relationships and symptoms of one kind or another and come to therapy to share their experiences, often for the very first time. I earned my doctorate at Rutgers University in the School of Social Work and I have been in private practice for over twenty-five years working with adults, couples, adolescents and families. I received my MSW at Columbia University and a Post Masters Certificate in Individual Therapy at Hunter College School of Social Work. I completed my psychoanalytic training at The Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey; I serve on the Board of Directors and Training Committee as Dean of Students and I teach and supervise psychotherapists. My approach to therapy utilizes Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Attachment Theory, Trauma Theory, Emotionally Focused Theory (EFT), and EMDR.
Hey, man. Your friends, family, or your partner aren't supposed to be your therapist. You need an outlet where you can be vulnerable, speak freely, and unburden yourself without any fear of backlash that could damage the relationship. You want a return on investment of the time, money, and energy that you put into therapy because that's what matters most. You need a therapist who gets you because you deserve to build a life worth living. This relationship needs to feel right, and you want a therapist who can join you through the truth, tell you like it is, and help you find the best tools for your toolbox. Usually, clients connect with me because of challenges connected to men's issues, grief & loss, emotion regulation, relationship issues, and life transitions through pregnancy and postpartum.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying the weight of your personal identity, family expectations, or the impacts of generational trauma. You may find yourself caught between who you are and who others expect you to be, leading to feelings of stress, self-doubt, or disconnection. Many of my clients seek a space where all parts of their identity are seen and affirmed, while also working through challenges like anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, or difficult life transitions. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and building a stronger sense of self. I provide a supportive, collaborative space grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. Drawing from relational, strengths-based, and evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, I help clients explore challenges, build resilience, and create change that feels authentic to who they are. I know it takes courage to seek support, and it's important to find someone who truly understands and respects you. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can feel seen, valued, and empowered to move forward in ways that feel right for you. If you're ready to begin this process, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Do you struggle with often thinking about the worst case scenario? Does it affect your ability to sleep, function at work, and enjoy certain activities? Do you feel overwhelmed by things that you constantly have to do, resulting in feeling stuck and unable to take any action? Do you wonder if you’ll ever be able to live a life that is free of anxiety? People are feeling anxious on a regular basis now more than ever. However, life does not have to stay like this. Therapy can help you conquer tasks by learning coping skills to manage these day-to-day stressors. In my practice, I use a combination of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help you manage these daily stressors. You will learn realistic coping skills to then conquer that feeling of being stuck. I also emphasize the importance of the mind/body connection.
Hello! I am Jacqueline Treml and I've been a psychotherapist in the community for over 25 years. Although I specialize in Anxiety, OCD & Phobias, I also practice EMDR for trauma, as well as offering support around the full spectrum of issues including identity, relationships, depression, and issues around grief & loss.

I hope that by coming to therapy with me, you are offered a warm and comforting environment where we can look together at issues without judgment. I will try to offer you perspective and what wisdom I've gained over the years to help your life at Cornell be what you'd like it to be. I look forward to hearing from you.
