Therapists for college students near 10003

Welcome! Taking the first steps into therapy are not always easy. I am here to partner with you throughout this process. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key and will work to help you do so as well. I strive to create a warm, non judgmental space where you can feel comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. Together we will work to gain self-awareness and create the meaningful change you would like to see. As we meet, we will begin to explore what has brought you into therapy. You can share your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. I'd be happy to connect for a consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Hello, my name is Lisa Snyder and I have been practicing in the area since 2016. I utilize a number of therapy techniques, including but not limited to, Humanistic, CBT, and DBT. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgemental environment.

During your life, you may experience difficult periods of adjustment related to major life changes and/or losses, difficulty in relationships, and/or cultural/social differences in environmental contexts. These periods in your life may lead to or be related to general difficulty coping with life circumstance, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. I provide a holistic approach to working with clients striving to understand them from an intrapsychic, interpersonal, and sociocultural perspective. In working with you, I endeavor to understand how your personality, relationships, and sociocultural identities and environmental contexts interact to affect your psychological functioning and wellbeing. Personal development through counseling/psychotherapy comes from feeling secure in a relational context to explore one's issues. Primary to this process is the establishment of a nurturing therapeutic relationship/alliance. In establishing a safe environment, I will assist you in experiencing more satisfying attitudes, relationships, and feeling more empowered. A major aspect of my work involves understanding how racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity affects one's psychosocial functioning. Understanding your sociocultural identities and how they inform and affect your life assists me in determining what interventions and techniques will be most appropriate for you.

I am so glad you reached my profile! I have experience working with individuals impacted by trauma, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. I use a number of evidence-based practices when working with clients. I am down-to-earth, nonjudgemental, and focused on you feeling safe in the session. Email if you have any questions!

Have you been trying to find a path for relief from feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others due to trauma or other life challenges? You are not alone. There is a path to find relief and gain insight to feel more grounded and capable each day. Thank you for taking the time to explore your healing options. Take a deep breath, slowly let out the breath, and praise yourself for taking this time. I have over 20 yrs of experience working with people of all ages as a therapist and social worker in various human service roles. I can assist you in tapping into your inner strengths and wisdom to achieve lasting changes to your physical and mental wellness. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive-behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Safe and Sound Protocol using Polyvagal theory. I can use an eclectic approach to meet your needs. I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART). ART uses rapid eye movements to change the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain to minimize strong physical and emotional reactions. ART is recognized as an effective psychotherapy for PTSD, depression, stress, and personal resilience. I am part of a group practice with Renew Hope and Healing. You can contact Renew Hope and Healing at 585-398-8835 to schedule an appointment with me.

In helping teens, and young adults, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, warmth, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 20+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I endeavor to create a nonjudgemental and safe therapuetic environment for my clients. My work is informed by recent advances in both neuroscience and psychology, and draws from Internal Family Systems, Positive Psychology, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behvaioral Therapy.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counseling, whether or not you have a significant mental health issue or are just facing stressful situations and life transitions. I work collaboratively with each individual client to form goals and a treatment plan that is as unique as the person I'm working with. Common issues that I help clients with include (but are not limited to): anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, anger management, relationship issues, LGBTQIA issues and concerns, self-esteem, family issues, and overall self-improvement. Some clients are looking for short-term counseling to address a specific issue that they currently face, while others are looking for long-term counseling to work through issues from the past or to learn to cope with chronic symptoms. I am here to help no matter where you fall on that spectrum! I am also happy to speak with you on the phone before setting up an initial appointment to determine if I am a good fit for what you hope to get out of therapy.

We’re a New York and New Jersey based telehealth practice that supports adults, young professionals, and teens who feel caught in patterns they’ve tried to change in relationships, family, school, work, or within themselves. Our therapists offer a thoughtful, compassionate space where you don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or already understand why you feel the way you do. Therapy is a place to slow down, reflect, and begin creating change that feels sustainable and real. Whether you’re navigating academic pressure, career stress, relationship challenges, family dynamics, or questions of identity and self-worth, we meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and support.

My approach is influenced by C.G. Jung, Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning) Socratic dialogue, Buddhism and Quaker meetings. I work best with the person who sees their life as a journey of self-discovery. I will help you uncover the solutions that you already have and see the problematics of those solutions. I will help you listen to your muse, interpret your dreams, identify your interpersonal patterns and face the fears and anxieties that haunt you. I will treat your troubles with the utmost respect because they help you learn and grow. Gratitude softens pain. I find parallels between creativity & spiritual inspiration.

I have been repeatedly impressed and moved by the process and experience that is psychotherapy. With each new person that I meet, I endeavor to foster a relationship through which healing, self-awareness, and personal growth can take place. I aim to help people identify their own emotional truths and live a more fulfilling life. If you are unhappy with the direction your life is going, dissatisfied with the quality of your relationships, or experiencing distressing symptoms that make it difficult to get through your days, please call for an initial consultation. I offer individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, and couples counseling, as well as consultation services for mental health professionals. My practice focuses on the treatment of depression and anxiety, grief and loss, adjustment to chronic illness, stress management, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is integrative and collaborative, based on trust, respect, and compassion. I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist (International Board for Certification of Group Psychotherapists) and lead therapy groups that focus on the improvement of interpersonal functioning and the enhancement of an individual's ability to develop healthy, satisfying and emotionally close relationships.

My practice is geared toward teens and young adults. I provide professional cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) along with Gestalt therapy. Only during exceptional circumstances would medication management be offered. I always counsel low medication doses and follow up with patients frequently because I like to err on the side of caution. I believe in the value of a genuine understanding of mental health, a confidential place to self-explore, and a healthy patient-provider relationship that is trustworthy, cooperative, and supportive.

I operate under the assumption that every human wakes up each day and does the best job they know how to do. By creating an environment of safety and unconditional positive regard, my hope is for you to stop just surviving the day-to-day and start living. I believe firmly in the healing experience of coming to therapy and feeling seen, heard, and accepted for exactly who you are. Together we will journey towards authenticity, self-identified goals, and deconstructing painful narratives and patterns, all while firmly maintaining self-compassion. I graduated from St. John Fisher with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked with a vast range of individuals throughout my career, including but not limited to college students, survivors of sexual harassment and abuse, and marginalized identities. I have experience working with addiction, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adjusting to life transitions, interpersonal violence, guilt and shame, suicidal ideation, and personality disorders. I have formal training in Polyvagal Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. And while I am confident in utilizing these evidence-based interventions in my clinical work, I also firmly believe in the healing power of two individuals holding space together and creating safety, which will be the foundation of every session. Together we can explore who you truly are rather than who the world tells you you should be and push back on the internalized systems that keep us trapped in spirals of shame and pain. It would be an honor to share this journey with you.

Therapy is an invitation to identify and gently question beliefs and perceived obstacles that stand in the way of our wellness, happiness and living our lives fully. We base our work together on you- what you see happening in your life, what you want to be different, your strengths, your goals and bigger life plans. Together we identify ways to make positive small shifts to clarify and work toward obtaining your best future. We believe in positive psychology interventions that are solution focused and strength based. We believe your mind is the most powerful resource. We can help you to learn how to use it to make powerful, lasting change. ​

As a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20+ years of experience, I value the connection and collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship. I provide straightforward, non-judgemental support and gently challenge you to explore, grow, and transform. As a team, we will work together to explore your stresses and life's challenges and develop strategies to help you lead a full and successful life.

My approach to therapy is based on the idea that if we can gain self-awareness and insight into our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, then we can learn and develop the skills we need to have more satisfying relationships, with ourselves and others, and better cope with life's challenges.
