Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards meeting with a therapist! You feel that that you don't have a good sense of who you are. You behave in different ways around your friends, family members, and colleagues. It's hard for you to keep your emotions in check and at times you feel your emotions are out of control. As a result, you react in ways that make things more challenging for yourself and others. Your relationships often have conflict, friends don't seem to stick around, and you can't figure out why. You wonder if you're doing something wrong and if there is something you can do differently. You question why things at home, with work/school, or with relationships can't be easier. When you try to handle these problems, it seems like things only get better for a little while, or they just get worse. I help clients figure out what truly matters most to them in life; assist clients in learning how to connect with and live in the present moment; support clients in finding ways to handle intense emotions, respond in ways that don't erupt their relationships, and to weather through the tough times.

Hello, Thank you for taking a peek at my info. I am passionate about human potential for change. I believe the key to understanding making new change is recognizing the strengths and values we have used to make changes in the past (we’ve all done it). Exploring this process can lead us all to successful resolutions of our concerns and achievement of our goals. See my web page to learn more. Also I do take CDPHP insurance

Melvinik Simmons was born and raised in Brownsville Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in a single parent household in the projects of Brooklyn was challenging. Where she comes from truly makes her the person she is today. "I saw everything that you can imagine, drugs, violence, even witnessing my childhood friend jump off a building". She knew at a young age people were "broken and felt helpless". Melvinik’s passion and mission is to inspire people and work with them to achieve their goals. "I am not only a therapist, but I care a great deal about my clients who I work with". "I am you and you are me" My mission is to help heal broken hearts. "I have been through a lot of what you may be going through, and I am here to tell you that healing is possible". Melvinik has been in the helping profession for over 20 years. She specializes in depression, grief/loss, anxiety and PTSD. She was a social worker for several foster care agencies, a supervisor for a crisis unit, a counselor for YMCA, and a therapist in the behavioral health department for several years at Richmond University Medical Center (N.Y) and St Luke University Health Network (P.A.). She has been in private practice (Talk Trust Heal LLC) for 4 years providing virtual therapy to clients in N.Y. P.A. and S.C. where she currently resides. She has an integrative approach combined with different styles, modalities, and methods to promote wellness. "I don't have a "one size fit's all approach" I immediately like to start where my clients are and offer a non-judgmental platform where they are able to talk in a safe environment. She is dedicated and committed to her clients and their mental health. Her motto is "Trust the therapeutic process, talk about the presenting issues and heal".

Many of the people I work with are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) who are struggling to navigate multiple areas of their life like work, school, family, relationships, or the intersectionalities of their identities. Many talk about often feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. This then kicks off to what feels like a never ending cycle of confusion, frustration, depression, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to find clarity and work through these obstacles to help people get their life back on track. My clients and I work together to develop more mindful behaviors to help lead a more meaningful and healthy life. People develop certain attitudes and perspectives based on their early life experiences to survive when they were younger. But these attitudes and perspectives are not helping now which is part of the reason why people might feel stuck. By looking at these attitudes and perspectives closely, people can learn to change how they talk to themselves, how they react to their emotions. and take more thoughtful actions to move forward towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. My practice integrates several evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that encompasses principles of person-centered, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, multiculturalism, and strength-based values. With my compassionate, collaborative, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth style, therapy can address the things that are getting in the way of people’s life so that they can move forward. COMMON EXPERIENCES THAT I WORK WITH PEOPLE ON: - It feels like your mind is playing tricks on you - It feels like your eyes or ears are playing tricks on you - It feels like something odd is going on or hard to explain - Confused at times whether something is real or imaginary - You feel suspicious or mistrustful of others - It feels like you have little control over your thoughts - It feels like others can hear your thoughts or read your mind - Having thoughts or beliefs that you or others find strange - Race-related identity, culture, and intersectionality - Cultural and systemic trauma and oppression

Hi! I work best with clients who are figuring out who they are, where they belong, and how to navigate stress, relationships, and big life changes. Many of the people I support come from multicultural, multiracial, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, or immigrant backgrounds, and are looking for a space where all parts of their identity are understood and respected. You might be dealing with anxiety, family pressure, identity questions, or feeling overwhelmed balancing everything. Some clients I work with are also navigating the impact of immigration experiences, acculturation stress, or racial trauma, whether from personal experiences, family history, or systemic challenges. These experiences can shape how you see yourself and move through the world, and you do not have to process them alone. You do not have to have it all figured out. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and find ways to move forward that feel right for you. In sessions, we will look at both the deeper parts of your story and practical tools to help you feel better day to day. I often use a mix of approaches, including exploring patterns from your past, building coping strategies, and working on how your thoughts and feelings connect. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your lived experience. I aim to create a space where you feel safe being fully yourself, no pressure, no judgment, just support as you grow, heal, and navigate this stage of life.

College can be an amazing time full of new experiences, but let’s be real—it can also feel stressful and overwhelming. I love working with young adults who are figuring out the ups and downs of campus life. Whether you're dealing with roommate drama, trying to balance work and fun, or adjusting to being more independent, sometimes it helps to talk to someone who gets it and can help you work through the tough stuff. If this sounds like something you’d find helpful, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect and support you through this exciting but challenging time.

I understand that life can be challenging, and I am here to guide you through those difficult times. My comprehensive psychiatric services are designed to equip you with the tools that you need to overcome obstacles and thrive. In this space, young adults can find solace and understanding during tough transitional phases. I offer a safe haven where individuals can freely express their concerns without judgment. This nurturing atmosphere is essential for those navigating the complexities of early adulthood.

Hi there, Thanks for visiting my profile! I believe that problems do not arise spontaneously, but are instead influenced by the behaviors, opinions, and connections with those around us—even those who are no longer living. My intention is to build honest and trusting relationships with each of my clients so that healthier patterns can be created and new solutions learned. Regardless of the challenges you are facing now, I am committed to helping you discover a new sense of health, happiness, and strength.

Connection is healing, and change happens when trust exists. My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I work to cultivate a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, empathy, and respect. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, and my therapeutic approach is strength-based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that conform to the individualized needs of my clients. I draw from mindfulness-based approaches while incorporating cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused techniques. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have over 20 years of experience working as a mental health counselor in various settings, including community-based agencies, public schools, and higher education. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, adjustment issues, and recovery from trauma. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I applaud your willingness to take those next steps! If you are ready, I am here to support and empower you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy. I understand that trauma can shape the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world—and that healing requires both safety and choice. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of control, and create space for growth that feels steady and empowering.I work from a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing safety, trust, empowerment, and emotional regulation in every session. I move at your pace and always respect your autonomy. Together, we’ll explore your experiences gently and intentionally, focusing on how trauma impacts your mind, body, and daily life. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process traumatic memories in a way that reduces emotional distress and shifts long-held beliefs. EMDR can be especially effective for individuals who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed by past events, or disconnected from their sense of self. I also integrate CBT, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and strengths-based approaches—always tailoring the work to what feels most supportive for you.Your first session is a calm, low-pressure space to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask gentle questions about your goals, your history, and what you need to feel safe and supported. We’ll talk about what trauma-informed therapy looks like and, if you’re interested, I’ll explain how EMDR works and whether it may be a good fit—though we won’t begin EMDR on day one. You can expect a collaborative, compassionate conversation where you set the pace. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and clear about our next steps.

Bussey Holistic Therapy is founded on the premise that all human beings have an innate desire for balance, healing, and growth. How each person defines these concepts are individually unique. I view each client as a whole person–mind, body, and spirit. I meet each client where they are in order to help them meet their personal goals. As a therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey. Although life has the potential to be joyful and fulfilling, at times we all face challenges. This is part of the human condition and none of us is immune. While we may generally have the resilience to cope and to move through difficult experiences, there are those times when we become aware that additional support and resources may be helpful in navigating difficult circumstances, healing from painful experiences from the past; or when we become aware of thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that we would like to address in order to live a richer life. Therapy can be a constructive resource offering a safe space to heal and grow.
