Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Beginning therapy can be a challenge, and finding a therapist who is the right fit for you may be an additional challenge. As a Psychotherapist, I specialize in management of Trauma/PTSD, Relationship Issues, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Depression and Personality Disorders. I use a person-centered approach to best serve each of my clients. My role is to be both a "coach" and supporter, who will help you progress from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth. I can assist you with providing new coping skills, and help you to increase insight into the issues you may be facing. I believe that the best therapy outcomes result from building a strong connection, setting goals, and working together as a collaborative team. If you are wanting to modify unhelpful patterns and behaviors, increase ability to reflect, or process a difficult event in your life, I am here to provide you with a safe listening space, and help you with provision of constructive feedback and support.

I believe everyone has a vision for the life they want to be living and that often times people have difficulty achieving and making their vision a reality. In my work as a psychotherapist I help people develop their own capacities, skills, and inner resources, so they can address their problems, and live a more satisfying life. People often come to therapy to deal with situations and problems that have effected their sense of self and their sense of safety and left them struggling to navigate their lives and relationships. People benefit from and need to be able to heal from the negative ways their pasts have impacted them. I welcome the opportunity to support and guide you on your journey of self-discovery and change, by actively engaging in the process of psychotherapy with you. Some of the problems people come to me with include stress, family and relationship problems, LGBTQ+ and sexual identity issues, anxiety, depression, histories of trauma, and more. I look forward to working with you in your therapy.

Are you trying to manage your stress in the ever-growing tumultuous environment? Are you working from home having a hard time juggling with family life? Perhaps you have a challenge with practicing effective communication? Or maybe just talking about your issues can be difficult, and that's ok. Do you want to learn more about yourself, how to cope in a healthy way, and have better communication? I can help. In my practice, I respect the unique experience of each individual. I see the particular difficulties that each faces. I listen and interact with empathy and provide insight and support. No two treatments are the same. Using techniques from Solution-Focused Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I offer support and teach skills to help you change negative thought patterns, increase your coping strategies, and feel more empowered. We’ll work side-by-side to ensure your success. I believe it is important to feel heard, validated, and understood. We need to feel purposeful and that we matter. We can't change difficult situations of the past, but we can work together to better understand them and to resolve current challenges in your life. I offer a safe place for you to discuss your feelings and emotions without judgment.

The LGBTQ+ population from youth to adults navigate the challenges of being ones-self and accessing safe housing, affirming healthcare, integrating into social circles of family and friends, feeling safe to exist in all spaces they enter, challenging the expectations to be the educator of their identities, and even policing themselves for their own safety and other people’s comfort.
