Therapists for college students near 10003
Therapy is not about “fixing” you, it’s about understanding you. You are not broken-you are human. Being human means experiencing various complex feelings that can be difficult to navigate and understand, especially on your own. No matter what life throws you, you do not have to go through it alone. As a therapist, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely heard in a judgement free environment. Together, we can collaborate to help you reach a place of self-improvement and understanding through recognizing behavior patterns, processing complex emotions, and exploring solutions to any challenges you may be facing. When working with me, you can expect a relationship rooted in trust, empathy, and openness. Whether you need a space to process, vent, reflect, or simply breathe-I will meet you where you are at. I will show up for you authentically, even if it means gently challenging you and confronting obstacles head on. There is no rush when it comes to your progress. Think of me in the passenger seat and you are the driver-you are the expert of your life and your voice matters most. Nearly ten years ago, I began my personal journey with therapy during a time of major life transitions. What stayed with me was the feeling of unconditional support and understanding I received. For the first time, I felt truly seen and encouraged to be vulnerable. This experience sparked a sense of strength and empowerment in me that I strive to help my clients discover within themselves.

Finding a good psychotherapist can be emotionally exhausting and time consuming. We take it very seriously that you are entrusting us with key/critical aspects of your life.

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 believe that healing and growth happen when one is truly heard. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to support this process and help you move past fears and obstacles that may be getting in the way of your success and happiness. I specialize in helping adults navigate life transitions as well as stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma related to issues of identity, self-esteem, relationships, school, and career. Together, we’ll work towards goals such as deepening self-awareness, overcoming unhelpful patterns, learning effective coping methods, cultivating self-acceptance, and building emotional resilience. I am particularly interested in working with diverse populations, including 1.5 and 2nd generation Asian Americans, BIPOC, and expats. As a native New Yorker and second generation Taiwanese-American, I’m especially attuned to issues of belonging and marginalization, and the complexities that arise from navigating intersecting identities and conflicting expectations, wants, and needs. In addition to being trained and licensed as a mental health counselor (LMHC), I have completed post-graduate work in psychodynamic therapy at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing®, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). Prior to practicing therapy, I worked in advertising and marketing. I have found that my own winding path has given me a unique perspective and ability to connect with a variety of individuals and their struggles. If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary video consultation and take the first step towards feeling better. I would be honored to help you reshape your life story to create more balance, meaning, and fulfillment. www.dianaliao.com @therapywithdiana
Is now the time for change? Do you have goals but aren’t sure how to achieve them or even set them? Has life thrown you some curveballs lately? You are in the right place. I commend you for taking the first step on the path to a better you. You deserve to be the best version of yourself and you are already taking the first step in self care by being here. Investing in yourself is the very best investment you can make. As a therapist, I have the wonderful opportunity to support you on your path to becoming the best version of you. In my career and life I have experienced the difficulty in trying to balance it all and found that it’s not easy. We often put ourselves on the back burner while taking care of everything and everyone else. I look forward to helping you prioritize, set boundaries, and find happiness for you. We are a good team if you are ready to make the time to evaluate your life, adjust your goals and gain confidence in putting yourself first.
Entering your next level of education is a wonderful thing yet even good things can be stressful or scary. This is especially true in the current climate of Covid-19. Whether it's about school or something else in your life, there's a strength in knowing that you need help with it, as evidenced by you're being on this site. I'd be happy to talk for 15 minutes by phone or video and then, if you like, we can set an online appointment.
My name is Dr. Laura Pantaleo and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based out of New York. I specialize in individual therapy for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management and life transitions. I also provide support around understanding and making meaning from psychedelic experiences. As your therapist, my priority will be to foster a non-judgmental environment where you feel safe and validated so that you can be empowered to do the hard work to make changes in your life.

You might be the one others rely on—the one who seems fine—but inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, or creatively blocked. Whether you’re focused on academics, the arts, or both, therapy with me can help you sort through what’s been weighing on you and why things don’t feel as manageable as they used to. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience, and I’ve partnered with Headway to accept in-network insurance and make therapy more accessible for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. I offer a space to slow down, feel understood, and sort through the thoughts, emotions, and stress that are getting harder to carry. I help students navigate anxiety, academic pressure, self-esteem challenges, and the weight of expectations. I also have a deep appreciation for working with creative students—artists, performers, writers, and others—who may feel blocked, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their work. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and attuned to the emotional layers that shape how you show up—in school, in your work, and in your life.
Welcome to my practice! My name is Nick and I am a licensed mental health counselor, credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor, and board certified telemental health provider. All services are offered online only. Most of our suffering derives from within. Imagine if you talked to a loved one the way you talk to yourself, or if someone spoke to you the way you speak to yourself. It would be unacceptable and it would not be tolerated. Yet we surrender to these thoughts, repeating the same hurtful, debilitating monologue in the echo chamber of our mind. Herein lies the certainty that derives from being on your own, stuck in a position you never reasoned yourself into in the first place. As you develop an awareness of these thoughts that have so greatly affected your life, you’ll learn how to develop a new, more rational narrative based on the values and beliefs that you yourself will create. As your therapist, my job is to navigate this process as you learn to actively change your thoughts, which change your feelings and impact your actions. I am a firm believer in achieving functionality. We want life to work for us, and not against us. Being a flawed, living, breathing human being, I too struggle with this everyday, and I bring that intense desire to make things work in the therapeutic relationship. We work together to solve the ambivalence. It is understandable that when it comes to our motivation to change, we have our ups & downs. I know what it feels like to be stuck. It’s painful, and when you’re in it, you think it will never end. The good news is that it does, and the process of seeing that end can be so much better having someone that understands you by your side, every step of the way. So are you ready to get started?
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to live authentically and understand your own story. You can live a life that excites you. If you are working through life transitions, trauma, or are looking to deepen your understanding of yourself and enhance connection with others, I can help you on your path. Peeling the layers of trauma takes courage, strength, and inner power. I work through a social justice lens with an understanding that societal influence/injustice impacts individuals and communities. I have over ten years of experience in mental health and specialized training in trauma. I offer a compassionate space where you can explore what may be affecting you, find ways to move past it, feel empowered to work toward becoming the best version of yourself, and learn to live with greater purpose and intentionality.
Are you struggling with self-love and self-acceptance? Do you find yourself fighting with anxiety, addictions, and negative or scattered thoughts? Perhaps you are dealing with issues pertaining to your identity or even going through an existential crisis. I know how hard these times can be because I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. Through our work together you will discover deeper levels of self-love, self-acceptance, and mental resilience. We can unearth past traumas and bring you into alignment with your true Self. You will find calmness and clarity of mind, along with the healing you desire. Come see what it's like to be fully yourself in a caring and compassionate presence. As an LGBTQIA+ therapist, I use a client-centered, humanistic and trauma-sensitive approach to address anxiety and mood disorders, ADHD, and issues pertaining to identity and sexuality. Together we can work through whatever obscures the light of your being. Contact me whenever you are ready to start your healing journey.

PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES: Rebecca’s clinical focus is on helping adult female identified dancers develop healthy relationships with their bodies and food. She guides clients in reconnecting with their bodies, often using the process of “embodiment,” a multilayered awareness of your body and how you connect to or relate to the world around you. Through the holistic practices of mind- body awareness, Rebecca educates her clients on how their emotions may sometimes be reflected through physical symptoms, often called psychosomatic symptoms. Working with Rebecca, clients also receive guidance on eating in a self attuned way to manage disordered eating behaviors. She works from the Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective and helps clients understand the internal and external factors that contribute to disordered eating, body image issues and problems with self esteem. Dancers are always on display, whether taking recreational classes at the studio or at rehearsal and especially during performances. Outside of the dance world, there’s the everyday societal expectations of how our bodies should be. Rebecca is familiar with the unique challenges dancers face on and off stage. PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT COACHING FOR PERFORMING ARTISTS: Contact Rebecca for more information. With her background in Applied Sports and Performance Psychology, Rebecca offers individual and group coaching sessions to adult dancers. Coaching sessions are available to help dancers of all levels achieve improved overall performance, using mental skills training. Coaching is separate from health care service.
