Therapists for college students near 10003

Hi! I am Dr. Monica Johnson. If you’re reading this, it means you are taking your mental and emotional health seriously and researching someone who will be a good fit for your journey. This is exciting! Let me tell you more about me to help you with your decision making process. I am a Licensed Psychologist in NYC, but some people think of me as a problem solving pro, empowerment guru, and self-compassion guide! I partner with my patients to find pathways to a better life. I work best with people who are tired of being stuck and ready to make changes. I can’t change you. Only you can do that, but I’m super excited to be your side kick on the journey and help you highlight roads to success. One of the most important things to know about me is that I am NOT a smile and nod type of therapist. I get down in the trenches with you. I’m down to earth and real with you through this process which means I will call you out on your BS and help you figure out what to do with it. We will work hard and laugh a lot. For the record, there is nothing off limits or shameful in therapy. I’ve seen it all and heard it all. If you need to talk about sex, money, medical issues, or “that one time in Amsterdam,” don’t hesitate! I work with people of all backgrounds (race, gender, sexuality, religion, alternative relationships) and you should expect that I will affirm your identity while helping you to develop a fuller self concept. My job is to help you tap into strengths you already possess (we all have them even if we can’t see them yet) and create new ones! If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, feel constantly overwhelmed by your emotions, past traumas, poor relationships, low self esteem, or just deciding what the next step is in your career/life, I can help.

I offer an empathic and non-judgmental space for self-exploration and moving through what might feel stuck or challenging as you navigate the college journey. This might include struggling with managing academic demands, anxiety, low mood, relationships, or self-esteem. You don't have to go through it alone. I have expertise in working with those that have experienced relational trauma, such as abuse, neglect, betrayal, or unhealthy relationships. We can work together to increase awareness and understanding of what brings you to therapy and to help empower you to achieve your goals. My approach is relational and psychodynamic and can incorporate mindfulness and somatic-based techniques, including EMDR. I look forward to hearing from you!

College can feel exciting, but also stressful, overwhelming, and lonely at times. Many of the students I work with are balancing school, relationships, family expectations, and their own mental health. My approach is warm and supportive, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you manage stress, build confidence, and feel more grounded. You don’t have to go through it alone.

The students I work best with are often juggling a lot—classes, exams, relationships, family expectations, jobs, and the constant pressure to “have it all figured out.” If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, unmotivated, or just not like yourself lately, you’re not alone. College can be exciting, but it can also be lonely and stressful in ways people don’t always talk about. In our sessions, you’ll have a space where you can be real—no judgment, no pressure, just honest conversations about what’s going on and practical tools to help you cope. Whether you’re struggling with stress, burnout, confidence, friendships, or big life decisions, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control. If you’re ready for support that actually fits your life as a student, I’d love to help you take that next step.

I am a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) and licensed creative arts therapist (LCAT). I work from a foundation of person-centered and psychodynamic psychotherapy and emphasize trauma informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive care. My work focuses on working collaboratively with clients to develop caring and compassionate relationships in a space of safety and healing. I utilize traditional talk therapy as well as working through recorded music, singing, improvisational music-making and instrument play to encourage creativity and enhance joy. I have received advanced training in trauma and the arts from Kint Institute, had writing focused on several professional publications, and presented at national and regional conferences. Most recently, I was the co-author of a chapter in Creative Arts Therapies and the LGBTQ Community. I also run workshops and individual sessions utilizing singing as a form of wellness, and supportive groups for body neutrality/fat positivity.

My mission is to support, guide, inspire, motivate, educate, and empower students to improve academically and mental health. My intensive clinical training allows me to provide students with effective counseling, social support, and education so they can transform challenges into positive change and become the best version of themselves which can lead to self-confidence, academic improvements, and a sense of independence. I have experience helping college students with stress management anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, academic challenges, and career difficulties. I provide brief solution-focused & CBT treatment modalities. Every student will have a tailored individualized treatment intervention to meet their unique strengths, needs, and goals.

Hi! I’m Sarah. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to "have it all figured out" while navigating the ups and downs of college life, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re a New Yorker studying away from home or a Virginian trying to find your footing, I’m here to help you manage the transition. I’ve spent the last three years helping people navigate life’s biggest shifts. I know that being a student isn't just about grades—it’s about managing relationships, setting boundaries with family, and figuring out who you are when the old labels don't seem to fit anymore. My Approach: I don’t believe in "one size fits all" therapy. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I bring a grounded, practical perspective to our sessions (with a touch of wit) to help you move from feeling stuck to feeling capable. I specialize in: Relationship Navigation: Modern dating, roommate friction, and family dynamics. Anxiety & Perfectionism: Silencing the "not enough" voice. Life Transitions: Moving, career pivot anxiety, and identity shifts. I offer a space where you can be completely yourself—no "clinical mask" required. Let’s work together to build a toolkit that actually works for your life, not just your syllabus.

Hey there, college life can be both exciting and overwhelming, right? Between managing classes, friendships, family, and figuring out your future, things can feel overwhelming. If you're feeling stressed, anxious, or just need a space to sort things out, I’m here to help. I specialize in helping college students like you navigate the challenges of this stage of life, whether it's dealing with homesickness, relationship struggles, or academic pressure. Together, we’ll work through your challenges so you can focus on thriving in and out of the classroom. My approach is all about collaboration: no judgment, just support. Whether it’s your first time in therapy or you’re continuing your mental health journey, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be. I accept Loveland Foundation vouchers to offset the cost of therapy. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s tackle it together.

I invite you to plant the next seed in your healing journey, a space where your whole self is welcome, not only the parts that learned to survive. I’m Lalo Nahui (lah-loh nah-wee) and I use they/he pronouns. I am a queer, transmasc, neurodivergent, disabled, polyamorous, first-generation Mexican therapist. My lived experience shapes how I listen, how I notice, and how I sit with you in this work we grow together. I work with college students who are tired of surviving on autopilot, balancing academics, relationships, jobs, and the expectation to always have it figured out. You might be navigating identity exploration, grief, anxiety, burnout, executive functioning or procrastination, career decisions, or the impact of carrying burdens that were never yours to carry. Maybe therapy has felt like talking without it landing in your body; together we create practices that feel embodied, creative, and practical. We slow down. We listen to your nervous system with patience, curiosity, and care. We make space for parts of you that learned to protect, perform, disappear, or endure, and we tend to them like weathered land learning to soften again. I weave somatic and nervous-system attuned practices, parts work, narrative and expressive approaches, and spiritual tools like tarot or astrology when desired. I also offer neurodivergent-informed coaching for routines, time management, and goal-setting. I center queer and trans students, QTBIPOC and students of the global majority, neurodivergent and disabled students, and first-generation and immigrant students. This work is collaborative, consent-based, and rooted in care, curiosity, and accountability. Healing moves at the pace of your body; it unfolds in cycles and seasons. Together we clarify next steps, release narratives that echo in your body, and practice returning to your full self in ways that feel real, embodied, and empowering. Virtual telehealth available in New York (Under Supervision of Andrew Triska, LCSW).

Are you an artist, entertainer, or creative struggling with your mental health? Individuals who work with me are often people with big dreams and ambitions, but who also happen to deal with anxiety and depression. They understand that in order to do their best in their work, working on themselves in a must. With my own prior experience working in the arts, I am able to connect to my clients on a deeper level to help them achieve their artistic and personal goals. Helping artists and creatives navigate their mental health has become a life passion, and is the main focus of my private practice. Managing mental health while dealing with the ups and downs of the arts industry is no easy task. Having a provider that understands these unique challenges and addresses them regularly can help. You don't have to go through these challenges on your own, and there is help out there. Please reach out so we can discuss your goals for treatment, and begin your wellness journey! I believe in offering free 15 minute phone call consultations, so we can both see if it is a good fit. Hope to hear from you soon.

Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with individuals, families, and couples I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with clients on body-image-related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that relational work can be an incredible way to embark on a healing journey. No one lives on this earth alone, nor should we feel as though we do. Strengthening or rebuilding our relationships, even the one we have with ourselves, can positively impact our lives in incredible ways.

Hello! I am a New York State licensed Psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and reshape negative thoughts and unproductive behaviors or issues in a client's daily life. Many of my clients find it helpful to set goals together and break problems into small, manageable steps. I work in collaboration with my clients to achieve short-term and long-term goals. I particularly enjoy working with college and graduate students in times of transition. I am warm, genuine, positive, and engaged. In session, I will build rapport with you, make sure I’m hearing what you’re communicating, and establish a therapeutic alliance. I’ll listen to your thoughts and feelings and reflect back what I notice to highlight opportunities for growth and facilitate behavioral change. During our first session, I'll ask about your symptoms and what brought you to therapy. We may cover your history, education, relationships, career, and current living situation, and agree on your goals and objectives. If you want to make positive changes and think we might be a good fit, please reach out! 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 also committed to making therapy affordable!
