Therapists for college students near 10003
College and medical school can be some of the most exciting — and overwhelming — years of your life. I work with college students and medical trainees navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, identity development, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and practical. I help students build emotional regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop resilience without sacrificing their ambition. Whether you’re managing academic pressure, imposter syndrome, family expectations, or simply feeling stuck, therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. I especially enjoy supporting high-achieving students who feel like they “should” be fine but are quietly struggling. You don’t have to do this alone.
Are you have having trouble transitioning through life’s many changes? Have you felt increasingly anxious, stressed, and irritable? Do you doubt yourself? Do you find yourself having trouble connecting with family members, romantic partners, and/or friends? Are issues from your past keeping you from moving forward? Maybe you just don’t feel like yourself. All of these feelings are normal. Whether we have been struggling with these things our entire lives or just the past few weeks, all of us feel lost at times. If you’d like help coping with difficulties in your life or gaining a better understanding of yourself, your past, your culture, your experiences, and how it all affects the person that you are, we can work together. We can talk about patterns and behaviors that have been holding you back, find strengths and interests that will help you thrive, and set goals which will encourage you to move forward. Together we can help you feel more like you and take steps towards making positive changes.
My story starts with losing a delivery job with UPS in my early 20s because I ran over two cones during training. I needed a new direction and found my passion for helping people. I am grateful I ran over those two cones because it changed my career. Now, I have 15 years of experience as a licensed mental health professional and started Cuda Counseling (CC), where I work with an amazing team. We help individuals succeed by dialing down their inner critic and creating an inner ally. I understand that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective counseling. That's why I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can freely discuss your challenges and wins. My action-oriented approach is designed to help you identify achievable measures of success, empowering you to realize your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're ready to experience inner freedom by identifying and overcoming challenging thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Let's connect and start your journey towards more joy, better relationships, and peace. Remember, the first step is often the hardest and most rewarding.

Hi, I’m Megan—Licensed Therapist (LCSW) Starting therapy in college can feel overwhelming—maybe you’re navigating new independence, academic pressure, identity questions, or a recent breakup. Or maybe you're simply looking for someone steady to talk to. Whatever brings you here, I aim to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and actually helpful—not stiff or one-sided. I work with students managing a range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, ADHD, and relationship or family stress. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in trauma-informed care. I have a particular interest in working with students who are high-functioning on the outside but feeling overwhelmed or stuck internally—those who are used to keeping it together for everyone else but could use some space to focus on themselves. Whether you’re sorting through a situationship, burnout, or just trying to figure out who you are in this stage of life, I offer a nonjudgmental space to reflect, feel supported, and build lasting change. Humor and real talk welcome.
The therapy practice is called Lotus Psychology Practice because we find ourselves inspired by the lotus flower. It grows beautifully out of the mud. Many get stuck in the mud and fail to see their inner strengths and beauty. At Lotus Psychology Practice we help you get out the mud and help you find your strength.
I am a licensed psychologist with 23 years of experience, practicing in NY, KS, and WA. I have several years of experience working in college counseling centers and specialize in working with university students who are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulties with adjustment and life transitions, identity issues, relationship challenges, and many other problems. I work with clients to increase understanding of how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors relate. I work in collaboration with clients to identify their goals and to learn specific skills to improve their overall functioning and well-being. Please note that I have flexible hours Mon-Thurs and will work with your schedule. (My available hours are not limited to what is listed on this site.)
Many of the people I work with are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) who are struggling to navigate multiple areas of their life like work, school, family, relationships, or the intersectionalities of their identities. Many talk about often feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. This then kicks off to what feels like a never ending cycle of confusion, frustration, depression, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to find clarity and work through these obstacles to help people get their life back on track. My clients and I work together to develop more mindful behaviors to help lead a more meaningful and healthy life. People develop certain attitudes and perspectives based on their early life experiences to survive when they were younger. But these attitudes and perspectives are not helping now which is part of the reason why people might feel stuck. By looking at these attitudes and perspectives closely, people can learn to change how they talk to themselves, how they react to their emotions. and take more thoughtful actions to move forward towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. My practice integrates several evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that encompasses principles of person-centered, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, multiculturalism, and strength-based values. With my compassionate, collaborative, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth style, therapy can address the things that are getting in the way of people’s life so that they can move forward. COMMON EXPERIENCES THAT I WORK WITH PEOPLE ON: - It feels like your mind is playing tricks on you - It feels like your eyes or ears are playing tricks on you - It feels like something odd is going on or hard to explain - Confused at times whether something is real or imaginary - You feel suspicious or mistrustful of others - It feels like you have little control over your thoughts - It feels like others can hear your thoughts or read your mind - Having thoughts or beliefs that you or others find strange - Race-related identity, culture, and intersectionality - Cultural and systemic trauma and oppression

You may be doing well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.
