Therapists for college students near New York University

Hello, I am a therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals across a range of settings. I spent the first 15 years of my career in a college counseling center, where I worked with students navigating both academic pressures and personal challenges. During that time, I also developed a specialized focus on supporting international students, with particular attention to cultural adjustment and the complexities of adapting to a new environment. I value creating a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel understood and work through challenges at your own pace. I look forward to partnering with you as you navigate your college experience.

Great to meet you! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Hofstra University. My path in healthcare has taken me through both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported people during some of their most vulnerable moments. These experiences shaped how I practice today with empathy, patience, and a deep respect for each person’s story. As a Black provider, I understand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and culturally understood in mental health care. I recognize that many individuals, especially within underserved and minority communities, may face unique challenges, stigma, or barriers when seeking support. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and free to be yourself without judgment.I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, as well as prenatal and postpartum mental health. I understand that mental health can feel especially overwhelming during life transitions, including pregnancy and postpartum, and I aim to meet you with compassion and understanding.When we work together, my focus is on truly listening, not just treating symptoms, but helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing. I believe in explaining things clearly, collaborating on a plan that feels right for you, and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and more in control of your mental health. My approach to therapy In my practice, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but more importantly, I focus on meeting you where you are. In our first session, we’ll take the time to talk through what brought you in, what you’ve been dealing with, and what you’re hoping to feel or change. There’s no pressure just a space for you to be open and heard. As we work together, we’ll gently explore how your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are connected. I’ll help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck and give you simple, practical tools to challenge negative thoughts and manage overwhelming emotions. My goal is to make this process feel supportive and empowering, so you leave with skills you can actually use in your day-to-day life. What you can expect from me I take the time to really get to know you, not just your symptoms, but your story, your experiences, and what you’ve been through. I understand that everyone’s journey is different, and I approach care with that in mind, especially when it comes to stress, trauma, and life’s challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. I show up with patience, warmth, and honesty, and I take the time to explain things in a way that actually makes sense.

I am a Postdoctoral psychologist who works with individuals that are hoping to improve their relationship with themselves and with others. I have experience working with adults across the lifespan experiencing a variety of difficulties. My area of specialty is with clients who have a history of disordered eating patterns, as well as a history of trauma. In therapy I encourage clients to be curious about their experiences, and my hope is that together we will deepen our understanding of how your past may be currently impacting your present. My approach with clients is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe personal change occurs best when we notice how our experiences show up for us mentally and physically, so my work often involves active use of the mind-body connection. I use an integrated trauma-informed approach to treatment, which may include the use of somatic internal family systems, relational, psychodynamic, humanistic, feminist therapy and I incorporate techniques from CBT and DBT when appropriate. I provide embodied centered therapy for people struggling in their relationship with food, all with the goal for clients to foster awareness of self, connection with others, and to reconnect to their capacity for full-bodied engagement with the world. Additionally, I offer comprehensive psychological assessments that include both cognitive and personality assessment tools. These assessments are best suited for individuals who are wondering if they may have ADHD and can help to clarify any other mental health diagnostic questions. The results will be provided to you via a written report, which can be used to further your treatment or to justify accommodations to support your needs. I currently am only seeing clients virtually. Please reach out to connect and see if we’d be a good fit. I look forward to meeting you!

Offering in person and telehealth sessions, our licensed therapists are ready to help you move from a mind full to a mindful way of living.

I start with listening and seek to cultivate a perspective that enlivens, enlightens and unburdens. I use an integrative psychoanalytic approach founded in curiosity and collaboration to address problems relating to trauma, depression, anxiety or self-esteem that can undermine ones ability to thrive interpersonally, creatively, sexually or professionally. Whether it's a life-change, a search for meaning, creative blocks, frustration with the quality of relationships or something else, I will meet you there. Through listening and talking, we will explore internal experience and how it impacts relating to oneself and others. Beyond psychoanalysis. I am also a trained attachment-based EMDR therapist, a powerful modality to process trauma when words don't seem to cut it. I may also use CBT & mindfulness training. These approaches can help develop an ability to detect unhelpful thinking styles, a stronger mind to body connection, and an increased awareness in the present. To give you a chance to practice outside our sessions, I encourage meditation and journaling. With a background in anthropology, I have a special interest in how culture shapes each of us, and always consider the impact of your culture in context with the struggles you face.

If balancing academic/work pressure and your personal life is leaving you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, I am here to help. Many clients I work with enter therapy feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or pushing themselves at the expense of their well-being. Perfectionism and self-criticism often make it even harder to slow down or feel satisfied. I specialize in therapy with college/graduate students and young professionals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, early career stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also work with survivors of sexual trauma and individuals who want to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their emotions, relationships, and sense of self. My approach is warm, collaborative, and values-focused. After working together, my clients often have greater self-confidence, increased insight into how past experiences shape current patterns, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I integrate psychodynamic therapy with evidence-based behavioral approaches such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, along with emotion-focused, self-compassion, and strengths-based perspectives. We'll explore practical tools to move forward from unhelpful patterns so that you can live more authentically. I am here to support you in understanding yourself with greater insight and compassion, easing anxiety’s influence on your wellbeing, and building a life that reflects your values rather than fear or pressure. I offer telehealth therapy for busy academic and professional lives. If this sounds like you, I invite you to explore my website and reach out for a consultation.

I am also PSYPACT authorized to see clients in 40 additional states. *Note: I am in-network with several insurances in Massachusetts and Colorado, and I am out-of-network in New York, New Hampshire, and in PSYPACT states. I provide a superbill for my clients to request reimbursement from their insurance. Please reach out with any questions; I'm happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.
