Therapists for college students near 10003

College is a time of huge transitions, and it’s easy to feel anxious, stressed, or unsure where you stand. If you're struggling with overwhelming worry (anxiety), feeling stuck after a tough transition (like starting school or a breakup), grappling with past trauma, or just trying to figure out challenging relationships, you've come to the right place. Your Therapy, Your Tools My practice is built on the belief that you already have what you need within you (though it may not feel like it, right now) —we just need to clear out all the noise and find and focus on what actually works for you. We'll ease your mind: We use practical, science-backed strategies to help you unhook from negative thought spirals and calm that constant feeling of being "on edge." We'll discover and heal the root causes : We'll gently explore the "parts" of you that are feeling anxious, unclear, or worn out, and use powerful processing methods to reduce the intensity of recent or past trauma or fear (like EMDR and IFS). We'll help you adjust: Whether you're dealing with the stress of major life transitions or trying to set healthier boundaries in relationships, we'll create space for you to process the change and build a stronger sense of self. We'll get you grounded: I integrate the calming power of nature-based tools (in or out of the office) to help your nervous system slow down, allowing you to find a peaceful space even when deadlines are looming. We’ll work together, at your own pace, to move you from feeling overwhelmed to thriving on campus and beyond. Ready to take a breath and start building a college experience that feels authentic and manageable? Let's connect.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in the Watertown, NY area, though I can see any clients in NYS as I primarily conduct therapy through a secure telehealth platform. I have many years experience working with teens and young adults. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space for anyone to be able to discuss and explore stressors related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, school issues, and other life adjustments. I utilize a client-centered and trauma-focused approach to provide psychotherapy, including using skills of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. Starting the therapeutic process can be overwhelming but I commend you in taking your first step forward in this journey. I will strive to create a warm, comfortable, and validating space for each therapy appointment together. If you have any questions, want further information, or would like to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation, please do not hesitate to reach out! I look forward to working with you!

Has your life turned upside down with unexpected changes, trauma, depression, grief, or increased anxiety? Are you feeling unheard by family, coworkers, or friends? Do you struggle with creating boundaries or breaking unhealthy relationship patterns? I believe you should not face these life changes alone. Let me walk beside you in your journey and unpack these feelings. Self-love and self-care are real, and if no one has told you it's okay to put yourself first! I am Marita Kershaw, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania. I offer individual, family, and couples telehealth therapy sessions. Currently, I solely offer virtual appointments. As a therapist, I believe in building individuals gradually by offering a safe space as they enter a judgment-free zone. I want to know more about you, and I also want you to know me better. If I seem like a good match, I encourage you to believe that one step further and start your therapy with me.

Do you feel like anxiety, sadness, or grief is making it hard to enjoy your life the way you hoped you would? Maybe you expected this chapter of your life to feel exciting or full of possibility, but instead you feel overwhelmed, confused, or like something is “off.” You might be dealing with loss, relationship stress, changes in your body, or worries about the future. You may not even have the words for what you are feeling. You just know you do not feel like yourself. You are not alone, and you do not have to figure this out by yourself. I’m Gabrielle, and I support students who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, reproductive or hormonal changes, identity shifts, and life transitions. Many of the students I work with are navigating experiences like: • Anxiety or depression that feels heavier than usual • Grief after a loss or major life change • Pregnancy or postpartum feelings that are confusing or overwhelming • Stress related to fertility concerns or reproductive health • Difficult medical or hospital experiences • Identity or relationship changes that feel unsettling My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and centered on what you need most. Therapy with me is a place where you can slow down, explore what you are feeling, and learn tools to help you cope day to day. In our work together, you will find a safe space to: • Untangle overwhelming thoughts and emotions • Learn coping skills you can use right away • Process grief, fear, or confusion with support • Reconnect with what matters to you • Feel more grounded and hopeful again You do not have to carry everything on your own. With the right support, healing is possible, and you can start to feel more like yourself again.

I am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in working with adolescents and young adults (ages 13 and older) across various biological, psychological, and social backgrounds. My goal is to help you understand yourself within the context of your unique life experiences as you navigate mental health struggles. These may include emotional/behavioral dysregulation, communication challenges, life transitions, academic/work stress, grief/bereavement, LGBTQAI+ issues, harm reduction in substance use, and other day-to-day life stressors. The therapeutic alliance between therapist and patient is the most important part of therapy, and I am passionate about building that foundation of trust with you. Working together, you can expect an empowering, non-judgmental environment with a little sense of humor sprinkled in. I use a warm, welcoming, and person-centered approach to meet you where you’re at in your healing journey, allowing me to tailor my style and interventions to your therapeutic goals and needs. These interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, and more structured approaches to best help you meet your therapeutic goals. My path to becoming a therapist began one week into college, when I decided to switch my major from studio art to psychology. The motivation to make this drastic change and give psychology a try came from my own intuition and feeling like I had natural qualities of empathy and introspection. This journey of self-discovery deepened my commitment to helping patients identify what a life worth living and feeling of purpose looks like for them. My journey led me to work in a community agency as a therapist, where I found that my patients’ demographics were very different from one another and, as such, deserved their own unique approaches and integrated mix of interventions. Now, I am passionate about bringing that same energy to my practice at SOL Mental Health! Outside of sessions, I like to enjoy a wide range of hobbies, such as painting, hiking, playing the ukulele, and going to live music concerts.

I am in private practice in the Princeton area, and work with individuals and couples. I truly enjoy working with young adults in their desire to learn more about themselves and grow emotionally. I assist clients in managing their depression, anxiety, and traumas. I also work to address client issues around relationship and family concerns, identity, life transitions, and immigration and acculturation needs. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions, and am licensed in the states of NJ, NY and also with Psypact (which allows me to work with clients in the states that are also members of Psypact)

My name is David Petti, LCSW, and I am a graduate of the New York University Silver School of Social Work. In our first sessions, you can expect to build a strong therapeutic relationship with me while identifying your concerns and goals. We’ll work together to create a personalized plan that focuses on what matters most to you. I specialize in working with clients with schizophrenia. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through Journey Clinical ONLY and not as an individual therapist. Please search for them online and identify if Journey Clinical accepts your insurance within New York State. My practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, with a focus on helping you develop a sense of safety and control, as well as effective coping skills. I work with adults who are navigating challenges related to generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), PTSD, depression, schizophrenia, and mood disorders. I am passionate about this work because I believe in the power of therapy to foster healing, growth, and positive change—even in life’s most difficult moments.

You try so hard to keep the peace. You don't want to "rock the boat", and desperately want others to like you. After years of bending over backwards, your nerves are so much on edge that others have called you "too sensitive" or "overly emotional". In relationships with family, friends, partners, and coworkers, you feel powerless and plagued with doubt. Overthinking and spiraling thoughts are your new norm. But recently, you're realizing that you've been putting other people first for years, so much so, that you've forgotten to take care of yourself. That's where our work together comes in. Are you ready to learn to trust your own voice? Are you ready to shed the message that you have to please others to have happy relationships? Are you ready to stop overthinking? And most importantly, are you ready to begin taking care of yourself, the way you've been taking care of others for years? Invest in yourself and take that next step by clicking "Email Me" button or giving me a call. I offer a free phone consultation, and see clients in-person in my Oneonta Office and via telehealth anywhere in New York. I specialize in working with college students, and have experience in working with adults of all ages. I look forward to hearing from you!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and major life transitions. With more than five years of experience across diverse clinical settings, I offer care that is compassionate, evidence-based, and built on trust. My goal as your engaged and supportive partner is to ensure you feel safe and understood as we work through what’s weighing on you and progress toward the life you want to live. Our work is a partnership, one where you’re met with respect, curiosity, and care every step of the way. I look forward to supporting your growth, healing, and lasting change. My approach to therapy centers on you. I work collaboratively and from a strengths-based, culturally responsive perspective, creating a space where you feel respected and supported. Together, we’ll explore your unique needs and lived experiences, build insight, and tap into the resilience you already carry. Our sessions are nonjudgmental, trauma informed, and grounded in compassion, with an emphasis on practical tools you can use to create lasting change so the work feels meaningful and relevant. My journey toward becoming a therapist began in my teenage years, when I was searching for ways to make sense of my own emotions and searching for support that truly helped. Along the way, I learned how powerful it can be to feel genuinely understood, an experience that shaped my commitment to offering care that’s warm, trauma informed, and deeply compassionate. In my work today, I bring empathy, patience, and a real-life understanding of what it’s like to build emotional skills one step at a time, meeting people exactly where they are. Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, painting, boxing, and a little retail therapy. These hobbies help me stay grounded, creative, and energized, bringing balance and presence into the work I do with patients.

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or big life changes? Many students come to me feeling stuck, pressured to have everything figured out, or caught between growing independence and complicated family or social dynamics. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I’m Kaylie, a Licensed Master Social Worker, and I help people manage anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and everyday stress that starts to feel like “too much.” I focus on getting to know you—what you care about, what feels hard, and what you want to change. Together, we’ll use practical tools and strategies (like problem-solving skills, coping techniques, and supportive conversations) to help you feel more grounded and confident. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. You don’t need to have the perfect words or a clear plan. You just need a place to start. If you’re ready, I’m here to support you.

Have you been trying to find a path for relief from feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others due to trauma or other life challenges? You are not alone. There is a path to find relief and gain insight to feel more grounded and capable each day. Thank you for taking the time to explore your healing options. Take a deep breath, slowly let out the breath, and praise yourself for taking this time. I have over 20 yrs of experience working with people of all ages as a therapist and social worker in various human service roles. I can assist you in tapping into your inner strengths and wisdom to achieve lasting changes to your physical and mental wellness. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive-behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Safe and Sound Protocol using Polyvagal theory. I can use an eclectic approach to meet your needs. I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART). ART uses rapid eye movements to change the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain to minimize strong physical and emotional reactions. ART is recognized as an effective psychotherapy for PTSD, depression, stress, and personal resilience. I am part of a group practice with Renew Hope and Healing. You can contact Renew Hope and Healing at 585-398-8835 to schedule an appointment with me.
