Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Hello! I’m Sakena, and I’m a Master’s student in the Social Work Program at Binghamton University. I aim to create a safe space for clients to comfortably navigate through any difficulties. I understand everyone is different, and with that, I make sure my approaches are in each client’s best interest. When working with clients, I use approaches such as active listening, skill building, and mindfulness to help clients through the difficult experiences they’re facing. These skills come from a holistic approach that is person-centered and follows CBT and SFBT. My goal as your therapist is to help you reach your goals. I believe this journey is a collaborative process, and you can progress through it at your own pace. I hope to help clients explore how past experiences have shaped their current emotions and way of life. So together, we can highlight your strengths and aim for clarity and balance. Sakena Kearse is a therapist-in-training at Sol Health. Sol Health is a digital health startup that offers $30 therapy to Gen Zs by connecting them with therapist-in-training accruing clinical hours.

Hi, I’m Pura, and I’m here to listen without judgment, support your growth, and help you feel seen and empowered. I’m a therapist-in-training and a Certified Peer Support Specialist with nine years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My work is rooted in a deep belief in client-driven recovery, collaboration, and the healing power of authentic connection. I believe in walking alongside clients on their journey, never in front, never behind. I love working with individuals who are seeking to understand themselves more fully, process complex emotions, and step into their own strength. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach and often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while integrating other modalities depending on what feels most supportive for each individual. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I honor the uniqueness of every person’s story and healing path. I look forward to meeting you, and hearing your story.

With 8 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, I've witnessed the tremendous pressure to "have it altogether" in this next generation of adults. The pattern I see is one where one's self-worth is contingent on performance, and the pursuit for perfection is at the cost of authenticity. It's why I focused my practice on working with adults early/mid in their career who would describe themselves as high-performing, ambitious, and even perfectionistic. I want to support you with building a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself so that you can continue doing what you love without sacrificing your values. My approach is interactive, feeling-forward, and collaborative. My goal is to create as much space as possible so that, for one hour a week, you can talk about how you're really feeling. The therapy process is hard work but I'll be there with you the entire way through. I can't wait to meet you.

Hello, my name is Ari. I'm a native New Yorker whose passion for psychiatry started early on and has grown through years of experience in healthcare. I specialize in medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD, and also provide brief supportive therapy around personal challenges like relationships, self-esteem, and sexual health. My approach is grounded in inclusivity and affirmation, shaped in part by my own experiences within the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I focus on helping people work through uncertainty and doubt, with the goal of opening up space for clarity, growth, and possibility. Outside of work, I love to exercise, travel, read, and get lost in a good movie.
I’m a dual Board Certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a strong foundation in whole-person, evidence-based care. My clinical background spans child, adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations, with experience across acute care, primary care, oncology, hospice, and other community health settings. College can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief or loss, or constant stress. I provide a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel understood. We will work together to better understand what you’re going through and create a plan that fits your life, school schedule, and goals. If medication may help, we can discuss safe options and what to expect. You don’t have to handle this alone. Help is available.
My ideal client may be struggling with a wide array of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, academic pressures, life transitions, or identity exploration. They may require support in developing effective coping strategies, enhancing their emotional regulation skills, and building a strong sense of self-worth. They may also need guidance in understanding their mental health, navigating interpersonal dynamics, or setting or achieving goals. The goals for my ideal client often revolve around self-discovery and personal growth. As a therapist-in-training with a background in social work and chemical dependency counseling, I specialize in helping college students navigate life's complexities. I understand that college can be a time of significant stress, change, and personal development, and I am here to support you as you face these challenges. I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when you're already managing so much. Therapy is not about "fixing" you; it's about understanding you—your story, your strengths, your struggles, and your hopes. It's about creating a space where you can be your most authentic self without fear of judgment.
