Therapists for college students near New York, NY
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.

Specialties: General Mental Health, Depression, Anxiety, LGBTQIA+, Grief and Loss, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) We care deeply about the wellbeing of our clients. Each clinician is trained in both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches, so we use an integrative approach specially tailored to each client. It is important to understand the past to change the present, but our focus always starts on immediate symptom relief. Our work is based on unconditional positive regard with a focus on empowering clients to live more fulfilling lives. We believe that we each have the capacity to heal and, as your therapist, we are here to support you on your journey.
My clients often come to me with a history of trauma or adversity, and a strong desire to process and understand how their past has shaped them to be the person they are today. They’re motivated, insightful, eager to grow, and have a strong desire to learn the skills necessary to have healthier relationships, better communication, and improved confidence. Through our work together, we begin to understand and develop the tools necessary to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms that can at times be a barrier for further growth. I aim to provide an empathetic and compassionate space where clients feel safe to open up and supported in their process. Utilizing a non-pathologizing and trauma-informed lens, I help clients put together a cohesive narrative of their life experiences to empower them to begin building a life that feels aligned with their goals and values. At the core of my work is the belief that a strong therapeutic connection is the foundation for successful treatment allowing for personal growth, insight, and healing. Beginning therapy is not always an easy process, but we will always go at your pace as we work toward better days.
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! Pursuing therapy can be an intimidating but ultimately life-changing experience. I'm grateful you're here moving forward with care that resonates with you and your goals. My name is Yvonne (she/her). I’m a first-generation Latina therapist with a background in the arts. I've studied clinical social work at Fordham University and gained experience in psychiatric hospitals, crisis hotlines, child welfare, and private practice. I specialize in working with clients who are working through depression, anxiety, relationship/dating dynamics, life transitions, family dynamics, and race-related stress. I’m a kink-friendly therapist and LGBTQIA+ allied. The best next step is for you to book a free, brief call with me to share a little bit more about what brings you to therapy and for me to share about my experience so that together, we can confirm our fit. I am currently in network with Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and United Healthcare. For anyone with out-of-network benefits, I can assist with the paperwork necessary for reimbursement. I am only accepting clients age 18+ at this time. I look forward to meeting you and beginning our work together soon!
Hi :) Congratulations on taking the first steps in looking into therapy! Everyone goes through hard times and mental health is important. I am a dedicated Graduate Social Work Student at Binghamton University, building on the strong foundation I established during my undergraduate studies in Social Work at SUNY Plattsburgh. My professional journey has equipped me with valuable experience in supporting individuals who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and those struggling with substance use disorders. I am well-versed in therapeutic techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing, and I adopt a collaborative, team-oriented approach to help clients achieve their personal goals. My passion lies in addressing complex trauma and personality disorders, areas in which I am deeply committed to making a meaningful impact. Looking ahead, I aspire to open a practice dedicated to serving clients with intricate and challenging cases. My mission is to ensure that everyone I work with understands that they are not alone, and that effective help and support are always available. I aim to provide a judgment free space where you can express yourself and process both the good things and the challenges in life. I look forward to working with you!

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) offering collaborative, creative, and strengths-based therapy. Rooted in psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches, I create a space where you can show up fully—curious, overwhelmed, messy, or hopeful—and be met with care and curiosity. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic illness, grief, and LGBTQ+ identity. As a queer and trans therapist, I know how powerful it is to be seen and affirmed without needing to explain yourself. I earned my MSW from the Smith College School for Social Work, a program rooted in psychodynamic and anti-oppressive practice. I currently offer virtual therapy in the state of New York. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a consultation and see if we may be a good fit to work together. I look forward to hearing from you.
Life as a student can be stressful, especially when you find yourself impacted by academic or administration complications, or struggles outside of school. As a therapist, I take a holistic approach in order to recognize all the complexities of who you are and your unique situation, and strive to provide a space where you feel supported and understood. Many of my clients identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ (and found me because they wanted a therapist who shares their identity), although I have worked with students from all walks of life. I have a Masters of Social Work from CUNY Hunter and seven years of clinical experience with techniques such as psychodynamics, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT. These have helped me with students struggling with a variety of concerns - depression, self-esteem, family or relationship problems, and more. Let's talk together about what's been on your mind and explore how to support you on your journey. I look forward to hearing from you!
Through a blend of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, I provide practical tools to manage emotions, build confidence, and create lasting change. My role is guiding you in discovering your strengths, deepening self-awareness, and learning how to respond to life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.
Therapy is an invitation to be messy, to dive into the unknown, to shed layers and come home to your truest self and aspirations with a sense of ease and belonging. Therapy is a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore, practice and play with challenging emotions, life patterns and memories that have shaped our internal world.

Hello! I have over 20 years of experience working as a counselor and social worker and enjoy working with people of all ages. I employ techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, tapping, and motivational interviewing to assist my clients. I have a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. I believe in meeting people where they are at, and empowering them to do the things that they want to do, not the things others tell them they should be doing. Many of my clients have told me that I am easy to talk to, a good listener, and nonjudgmental. My communication during therapy is truthful and real. My tone and demeanor will fit what you need - some people desire a soft and gentle tone, and some people want to get straight to the point. I believe that it is important to hear a person's story and understand what their goals are before beginning any treatment. In our first session, we will talk about why you came to counseling and what you hope to achieve while meeting with me. I'd like to hear from you if you think we might be a good fit. I am part of the Path referral network, which means that when you reach out, my team will get back to you quickly to schedule our first session. I am committed to making therapy affordable. Through Path, I am in-network for most commercial insurances, so you're only responsible for your co-pay!
I am passionate about working with college students 18 and older that are struggling with painful life experiences that affect their mental and physical health. I provide a safe, accepting environment, using evidence-based modalities for change, and support my clients in the process of healing and becoming the best versions of themselves. My clients are resilient- however, having to be "strong" and in survival mode all the time is exhausting, and it's okay to let your guard down with me. I aim to support my clients in not only surviving, but thriving. My clients achieve a healthier relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Hello, I'm Dr. Clifford (please feel free to call me Heather!). I bring a compassionate and a caring approach to therapy that is trauma informed and queer affirming. The transition to young adulthood can be a time of major changes, successes, and disappointments. The pressure of being a young adult and figuring out "the future" is often overwhelming and anxiety provoking. You may be questioning your values, sexuality, relationships and career aspirations. I specialize in helping college students explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are getting in the way of them living a life that is in line with their values. Through our work together I can help you clarify what is important to you and develop skills to help you live the life you choose. I use evidenced based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help support you become present and participate in the important parts of life. I often incorporate mindfulness and compassion focused exercises during sessions. I am committed to unlearning oppressive biases and beliefs including but not limited to white supremacy, racism, ableism, homophobia, and fatphobia. I believe that these systems of oppression hugely impact our mental health and come to play in the therapy room. I am always open to discuss and explore these topics.

Everything you need to cope with the struggles you're going through is inside of you as you read this.

We specialize in working with women, especially women of color, who need help learning to cope with stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. We have vast experience working with clients who have survived trauma during various stages of life. We can all use help from others, especially when we're going through a particularly tough time. Even at a time where you may feel like you don't know what on earth is going on and everything is upside down, you know that something has to change. Let's make some changes together!
