Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Hi there! I'm so glad you found my page. I look forward to helping you navigate whatever might currently be keeping you from feeling fulfilled. As a neurodivergent, queer identified therapist, I find myself working best with those who are developing greater attunement with their own identity. Together with my clients, I use a person-centered, strength-based approach to identify and practice coping skills and expand emotional awareness and resilience. Life is stressful and full of difficult experiences, and through art therapy directives as well as talk therapy techniques, I partner with my clients to help them identify what it is that they would like to change and make a plan of action. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step! Whatever it is you need, I look forward to partnering with you in support and compassion.

Hello, I’m Gabrielle Toussaint, a dedicated and compassionate clinician with a deep commitment to destigmatizing mental health and promoting overall wellness. Raised in the vibrant community of the Bronx, NY, and rooted in my Trinidadian heritage, I bring a rich tapestry of cultural understanding to my practice.

Whether you're dealing with behavioral concerns, substance use, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or trauma, I am here to provide the support you need. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, Solution Focused (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing, to help you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life. In our work together, you will find a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards lasting change. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I am passionate about helping you discover your strengths and resilience. Outside of my professional life, I find joy in listening to soca and reggae music and capturing moments through photography. These personal interests enrich my life and bring a sense of balance and creativity to my work. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey to wellness and self-discovery. Let's work together to create a brighter and more fulfilling future.

Despite the muddy surroundings and dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower. Blossoming Lotus Therapy was founded as a safe space for individuals and families to find peace and healing while blossoming into their best selves.

Providing a safe and validating space for others is a value of mine. This has lead me to pursuing a Doctorate in Psychology and thus far 8 years of experience. Throughout my training and career, I've always gravitated towards the college/graduate school population. I've especially appreciated working with students on relationships, identity, and self-love. Being a South-Asian, I've also enjoyed exploring cultural/ethnic/racial identity with clients. In a therapy session my approach is inviting, warm, curious, and a grounding presence. I strongly believe clients are experts on themselves; hence my approach to therapy is empowering and encouraging clients to lean into experiences to meet their goals. I like to use the metaphor that my clients are in the driver's seat and I'm there to support them as they explore where they want to go. Along with a multicultural lens, some therapeutic orientations I often pull from are CBT, ACT, and IFS. Gift-giving is important in many cultures and hence the gift I want to give clients is hope, validation, and safety. I also strive to plant the seeds of empowerment and self-love in clients and continue to nurture that together throughout our sessions. I encourage clients to try out various exercises/skills in between sessions to continue to meet their goals. Overall I hope a client leaves our sessions feeling supported, heard, and respected.

Hello, I am accepting new clients to my practice and have experience working with people of all ages, ethnic and socio economic backgrounds and a wide range of life difficulties.

I would be happy to offer a free 15 minute consult to see if my practice would be a good fit for you.

Are you carrying the weight of being a first-generation eldest hija while trying to find your own path? Te veo. Balancing school, family expectations, and your own needs can feel overwhelming. You may feel pressure to succeed, to make your family proud, and to hold everything together, while quietly feeling stretched or disconnected from yourself. In our work together, we create space to slow down and check in with what you’re feeling and needing. Therapy becomes a place to explore who you are beyond expectations, while gently tending to the parts of you that have learned to push through or put yourself last. My approach is trauma informed, relational, and culturally attuned, with attention to both your emotional experience and your body’s response to stress. We move at a pace that feels steady, supporting you in building self trust and a more grounded relationship with yourself. I also provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases, conducted with objectivity, care, and cultural awareness. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York, and a first-generation eldest daughter of Colombian parents. My work is shaped by both lived experience and over a decade of clinical practice, offering a space that honors the complexity of your story.

Hi, My name is Marissa Klejbuk and I am so glad you are here taking your first step in finding support! I have a passion in helping people find new ways of managing and working through stressors, especially big life changes like starting college, moving or starting a new job. I also have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, identity, LGBTQ+, intimate partner violence, and sexual trauma. My approach is affirming, holistic, collaborative, and compassionate. I help people understand how our past experiences helped us get to where we are today, whether we initially view these as positive or negative. Sometimes that place is a point of overwhelm or emotional detachment with intrusive thoughts. Sometimes that place is being unaware of our strength and resilience. I wholeheartedly believe that the power of healing and breaking unhealthy patterns lie within the therapeutic practice that empowers your authentic self. I meet your vulnerability with mine to create a safe space that supports deeper processing. I believe in working holistically to help you connect to your mind, body, and soul. I often bring in creativity, metaphor, humor, cognitive-behavioral approach and body-based interventions including mindfulness and imaginative play. Expanding on your skills helps you feel more empowered to make choices that improve all areas of your life. Contact me today for a free phone consultation to see how I can best help you reach your goals!

I am a clinical psychologist and have been in practice for over 20 years. I specialize in working with individuals and couples ages 18 years and older. I address a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship/family dynamics and trauma, as well as stressors particular to the college and graduate school experience. My Interest in psychology is based in my wish to help people decrease their pain and expand their lives in ways that are important to them. I am described by my patients as a warm person who creates a safe environment through being respectful and sensitive to who you are: your personality, family, developmental and cultural history, other identities and the emotions you are experiencing. Psychodynamic and insight-oriented, I utilize a variety of techniques, especially Internal Family Systems (IFS), a therapeutic approach that is extremely effective for many issues and is known to be especially helpful with trauma recovery. IFS helps individuals, as well as couples, tease apart and learn about conflicting feelings or parts of themselves. Doing so improves one’s ability to feel better, function effectively and heal painful experiences from the recent and distant past. In couples work I also utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based model that helps couples identify difficult cycles of interactions and recognize the needs, hurts and fears that underlie them. Partners emerge from this process feeling more connected with one another in meaningful, supportive and secure ways and are better able to communicate. Research has proven this to be a highly effective form of therapy. I have held positions at several university counseling centers including Fordham University where I was Assistant Director of Counseling and Psychological Services, The Graduate Center in New York City and Princeton University. College and graduate students have always been a significant part of my practice.

To be seen and known by others is an incredible feeling of connection but it means being authentic and vulnerable. Sadly, we live in a time with the illusion of connection while being more disconnected than ever. You may feel disconnected from others and even from yourself. Though you are a gift to this world, it is often blocked and unexpressed. This may leave you feeling alone and invisible. The truth is, you may be starving for deeper connection and that starvation looks like depression, anxiety, stress, and more. When you are living disconnected, you are abandoning yourself. Thankfully, you have a beautiful inner voice. I help you redefine your view of barriers (I call it protection), frustration around recurring struggles, failures, shame+fears through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and courage. My working style is non-judgmental, and I endeavor to bring curiosity, humor, empathy, patience, and respect to our relationship. I warmly invite you to reach out by phone or email through my website and schedule a free initial consultation to explore how we might work together to help you live a life of purpose and connection with self and others
