Therapists for college students near 10003
Having spent part of my life in Europe and Africa, my background helps me work with a diverse range of clients - from college students and veterans to corporate employees and expats. I am a clinical psychologist and cultural psychologist (Rutgers, PsyD; Harvard, BA) with 19 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults. My specialties include depression, trauma, and anxiety as well as stress, life transitions, cultural adjustment, and relationship issues. I am a caring, interactive therapist and use an integrative approach (ACT, CBT, psychodynamic, and mindfulness techniques) to provide you with a safe space to heal and practice new tools as you reset your life compass. I see therapy as a gift to yourself: making time to build knowledge, awareness, and compassion, try new behaviors, and improve your quality of life. Change is possible at any age if there is courage, flexibility, willingness, and action. I also believe that a variety of things can help us heal and enrich our lives (e.g. music, sports, nature, friendships). I look forward to starting this chapter of compassion, healing, and growth with you and invite you to schedule a free consultation today.

We all hit speed bumps in the road we call life. It is okay to require assistance getting over these bumps and back on track. That is what I am here for. I enjoy helping clients who need assistance reaching a healthier emotional life. I always tell my clients: my goal is to get you to the point where you tell me I'm no longer needed in your life. When that time comes, it is very bittersweet; but the goal is for my clients to be on their own and thriving. My specialty includes young adults and adults with depression, anxiety, life changes, relationship concerns, anger, and burnout. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy; specifically rational emotive behavioral therapy. My practice is telepsych, which means you get to see me in the comfort of your own space. We all know that life can be hard and the feeling of "I can't take it anymore" can arise. I provide a safe, non judgmental place for you to open up and become healthier! If it sounds like I am a good fit for you, let me help you get through the difficult times so you can continue to keep moving forward!

I specialize in helping people cope with the emotional ups and downs of life transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship endings, and academic and career stress. I can help you find your way back to feeling whole again and learn to treat yourself with self-compassion. I have an extensive background in providing counseling for undergraduate and graduate students, including medical students and residents. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for people to be heard and seen and find hope for the future.

Many students I work with are navigating big changes, whether it’s adjusting to college life, managing anxiety or OCD, or trying to find balance in relationships and daily routines. You might feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or worry about not having things “figured out.” In our work together, we’ll create a supportive space to better understand your story, identify what’s been keeping you stuck, and build tools that bring more clarity, confidence, and calm to your daily life. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and that’s okay. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and get a sense of whether we’d be a good fit. When you’re ready, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can best support you.

Welcome! I'm Leighann Sapienza, a licensed clinical social worker with over 5 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, families, and couples. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming stress, anxiety or navigating life transitions, I'm here to provide support and guidance every step of the way. With empathy and compassion as guiding principles, I'll work collaboratively with you to explore your concerns, identify goals, and implement strategies for positive change. I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation where, together, we'll collaborate to develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at fostering a life of meaning and fulfillment.
You may look like you have it together on the outside, but actually feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I help individuals better understand themselves, discover ways to cope and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing and overthinking. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients have trauma histories, caregiving roles, or chronic illness and are seeking deeper insight. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. Many people come to therapy simply feeling stressed, on edge or misunderstood. Through therapy, you'll gain tools to manage overwhelming feelings, improve relationships and break patterns negatively impacting your life.
You have the power to make positive changes in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. You may be thinking about improving relationships, coping more effectively with daily stress, or becoming more successful academically or in a career. Unfortunately, sometimes stress, anxiety, & depression make it difficult to make the changes you truly want. I aim to empower my clients so that they discover (or re-discover) the inner-strength needed to believe in themselves, learn new coping strategies, & achieve their goals. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral & client-centered approach to help young adults improve socially, emotionally, & academically. I create a motivational, non-judgmental space where clients can practice mindfulness & relaxation strategies. I teach my clients to replace unhelpful thinking patterns & behaviors with productive ones. As a licensed psychologist & certified school psychologist, I specialize in the assessment & treatment of children, adolescents, and adults with learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, & autism. I teach strategies to reduce test anxiety & improve study skills.

I partner with adolescents and adults looking to address anxiety disorders, depression, self-esteem issues, and family dynamic challenges. I take a relational and empathetic approach and work to provide a safe space for clients to discuss their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. The therapeutic relationship is a privilege, and I am grateful to listen and try to understand how you see the world. I received my MSW at Fordham University. I trained in a hospital setting where I conducted group/individual therapy in an acute inpatient psychiatric unit. I take a holistic approach to understanding my clients and use psychodynamic and evidence based-practices (CBT) to help clients observe patterns of thoughts and behaviors with compassion. Thank you for having the courage to ask for help. Wherever you are starting from, I am happy to meet you there. No topic is off limits.

I graduated from UMass Medical school and was trained in adult psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Prior to going to medical school I received a Masters in Teaching from Boston University and worked as a teacher. This unique background affects my approach to psychiatry. I believe that a good psychiatrist should work with you to help you learn about yourself and your mental health. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), psychodynamic therapy, supportive therapy, and Gottman style couples/relationship therapy. During my time at CHA I worked extensively with the Gender and Sexuality Clinic to serve patients of diverse sexual and gender identities. I also co-lead a group therapy for individuals in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. I have taught at the American Psychiatric Association’s specialized rotation for HIV Psychiatry, including lectures on how to provide effective telepsychiatry, and I have presented at a national meeting on teaching providers how to better work with patients to prescribe medications. I am a licensed physician in Massachusetts, New York, and California. I offer in person appointments in Somerville, MA as well as secure telehealth appointments to those residing in Massachusetts, New York, and California. In addition to medication management I offer individual and relationship/couples therapy.
The clients I work best with are young adults who are navigating complex relationship and intimacy challenges, struggling with self-esteem, or experiencing anxiety and depression. Often, these individuals are seeking a safe space to better understand themselves, heal from past hurts, and build stronger, healthier connections with others. My ideal clients are looking for guidance in managing overwhelming emotions, improving their mental health, and gaining the tools they need to navigate relationships and life transitions. Many have faced feelings of isolation, low self-worth, or uncertainty in their personal lives and are ready to explore solutions that can help them grow and thrive. If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected in your relationships or struggle to find confidence within yourself, we may be a good fit. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself openly, explore your experiences, and work towards meaningful change.
