Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I help bright, dynamic students deal with the anxiety and overwhelm that can creep up as you're out there doing what you always thought you were supposed to be doing. You work really hard but it's getting harder to hold it all together as you wrestle with the doubts and the stress. Your relationships might be feeling less than happy and fulfilling lately, or you're just plain overwhelmed. On the outside, you look like you have it all together - but that doesn't make you feel OK on the inside. I help people like you learn how to finally feel good about themselves, balance school work and self care, build strong relationships, manage anxiety and stress, and feel less alone and overwhelmed. You're not out of options - in fact, therapy could be the start of a great new chapter in your life.

Hi, I’m Dhvani! I offer virtual therapy sessions for students in NY and NJ who may be looking for support beyond their campus counseling center. I work with people navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions—especially during demanding or uncertain times in school. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I understand that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll tailor our work based on your goals—whether that means building practical tools to manage day-to-day stress or exploring deeper patterns that may be shaping your experiences. Finding the right therapist matters. If you’re interested in working together, I’d be happy to connect for a free consultation to see if it feels like a good fit for you.

I help college students, graduate students, and university faculty manage stress, cope with painful emotions, and navigate school, work, and relationships. Higher education offers a huge opportunity for growth and self-discovery, but it also presents unique stressors and challenges. In addition to treating anxiety and depression, I work regularly with issues of perfectionism, peer comparison, academic pressure, and burnout. I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore identity issues, adjust to new situations and life phases, and examine possible career directions. I believe that great therapy is tailored to meet clients’ needs and goals, so I integrate a variety of approaches into my work, including insight-oriented methods, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Depending on what a client brings to each session, we might work on specific tools to address a current problem, examine the origins of a long-standing pattern, or explore some of life’s biggest questions together. I believe in the inherent resiliency of my clients, and I empower them to tap into their inner strengths and resources. At the foundation of my practice is always the relationship with my clients, which is built on mutual trust and active collaboration. My professional training includes degrees in Psychology (BA, Harvard University), Social Work (MSW, University of Chicago), and Higher Education (EdD, Northeastern University), along with experience in university counseling, academic and career advising, community mental health, and international education. Clients describe me as authentic, attentive, compassionate, and dedicated. While I am not in-network for any insurance providers, many university students have out-of-network benefits that they can use to seek insurance reimbursement for our sessions. I am happy to assist clients in this process. Please visit my website for more information. I am based in Cambridge MA and licensed across MA, NY, DC, and CT.

I am a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with young adults with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, autism, suicidal ideation and personality disorders. My goal-oriented treatment approach helps clients work towards symptom relief, improved relationships, and a wider variety of coping skills. My approach is collaborative and proactive so we can work together to help you accomplish your goals, experience symptom reduction, and become the person you want to be in a warm welcoming space where there is no judgment. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Exposure & Response Prevention (ER-P) therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), in addition to Psychoanalytic Therapy to help clients get to the root of their symptoms and discover how past experiences influence current behavior. My approach has been described as genuine and thoughtful while creating a space that is warm and judgement-free. I draw on her expertise while also building on the strengths of my clients in order to assist them in moving towards accomplishing their goals.

Welcome! I am a psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with college students.

I am very well acquainted with the Bard community and find this is quite helpful in my work with Bard students.

I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students. Ultimately, the nature of therapy depends on the patient, what they are up against, and their goals. For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but surely only ever works in a context of empathy & respect, not to mention humor (sometimes life can only be laughed at). This is a perspective I lay out in some detail in a recently published, two-volume book, titled, "A Humane Vision of Clinical Psychology." I'm a good fit for someone looking to understand and change established patterns, and to find relief from associated symptoms. Currently, I am contracted with the student insurances at Tufts and Boston College, which make sessions very inexpensive for students. I am licensed in Massachusetts, New York, Colorado, Vermont, and Connecticut. Very happy to arrange telehealth sessions for students in any of those states.

I enjoy working with emerging adults in college on any issues related to managing stress, anxiety, depression or trauma/loss. I use a variety of evidence based techniques for recovery and healing.

My eclectic approach to treatment includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness perspectives, and I tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each client.

The foundation of my therapeutic work is the relationship between me and my client. When appropriate I incorporate techniques from other modalities.

What haven't you said? And what might change if you said it? Some things only become known and shift under the right conditions. I'm Andrew, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in Ashland, OR, remote across OR, MD, and NY. I've been a therapist for 15 years. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship snags, troublesome patterns, career and purpose questions, and the more diffuse sense that something is off. I work with students and graduate students sorting out what it means to become themselves while meeting everyone else's expectations, and with medical students and residents under the particular pressures of clinical training. I've also spent years with addiction, trauma, and more acute struggles. My training is psychoanalytic, but in practice I'm more interested in you than in applying any of it to you. I'm not here to fit you into a framework or hand you formulas for how to be. Together we explore what matters, what repeats, what gets avoided, what happens between us. You come to know what's best. That stays with you anywhere. The first conversation is a brief phone call, fifteen or twenty minutes, to talk about what brought you in and whether we're a fit. Not sure if therapy is for you? That's a fine place to start. Reach out.

I believe that being in therapy is about creating space for positive change.

I specialize in helping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction recovery. I also work extensively with artists of all kinds who are experiencing creative blocks or stagnation in their art/creative practices and life. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art materials and the creative process to help people express, process, and integrate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Art therapy is for everyone, not just people who identify as artists or have experience with the visual arts. Clients see me for talk therapy and or art therapy. All sessions are tailored to the preferences and goals of my clients. My approach is holistic and person-center, integrating traditional talk therapies and art therapy with mindfulness/body-based practices.

~Helping college and graduate students move beyond anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt into clarity, resilience, and deeper self-understanding~ College can look exciting from the outside — but many students find themselves quietly struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or a sense that something just isn’t quite right. You might be: Feeling anxious, burned out, or constantly “on edge” Overthinking everything — relationships, decisions, your future Navigating identity, independence, or family pressure Struggling socially or feeling alone even when surrounded by people Dealing with health challenges, stress-related symptoms, or emotional exhaustion Wanting to understand yourself more deeply — not just “cope,” but actually change I work especially well with thoughtful, self-aware college and graduate students who are ready to go beyond surface-level coping and really understand what’s driving their patterns. My approach is integrative and mind-body focused, drawing from: EMDR (for processing past experiences that still impact you) DBT (for emotional regulation and practical tools) Nervous system / mind-body work (understanding anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms) Insight-oriented therapy (helping you make sense of yourself on a deeper level) I aim to create a space that is both warm and real — where you feel understood, but also gently challenged to grow. This work isn’t just about getting through college — it’s about helping you build a foundation for a more grounded, confident, and authentic life.
