Therapists for college students near New York, NY

As a clinical psychologist, I assist clients to address issues that are difficult to confront alone. I encourage self-reflection, help clients gain a clearer understanding of their life experiences and bring awareness to patterns of relating that are interfering with living a satisfying life. My orientation is primarily psychodynamic; it promotes self-exploration and gaining insight, along with productive behavior change. I take an active and engaged role with my clients by asking questions and offering ideas. I approach therapy as a collaborative process with the intention of reducing suffering, increasing self-understanding, and cultivating deeper and more compassionate relationships. I specialize in addressing chronic trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss, and relationship difficulties.

I have been in practice in Rochester for many years and received all of my medical and psychiatric training at the University of Rochester, home of the biopsychosocial model. I have enjoyed treating students and members of the medical community. I am one of the few psychiatrists in town that continues to offer psychotherapy, both individual and group therapy.

My name is Dadiana Lopez. I am a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and CT, and I am here to tell you that you don’t have to suffer through life constantly overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and depressed. I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in a cycle of exhaustion or overwhelm learn to break this cycle, find relief, feel more confident, and finally leave behind people-pleasing behaviors, perfectionism, and dysfunctional family patterns. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD or a constant sense of unworthiness, I can help you too! My approach to therapy is evidence-based, trauma-informed and holistic. I integrate traditional science-backed psychotherapy with somatic modalities, nervous system regulation tools, and mind-body-spirit practices, to uncover and treat the root cause of struggles, not just your symptoms. I want to help you challenge unhelpful beliefs about yourself, build upon your strengths, and work toward healing, authenticity, and the life you want to live. If you're tired of living in survival mode and are ready to heal, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consult with me today! I am in-network with Optum/United Healthcare and Aetna plans.

It can be hard deciding you want help and are worthy of it. Whether your challenges arise from trauma, relationships, life transitions, loss, school, work, or parenting, ultimately what you may be seeking is a change in your relationship to yourself. By inviting insight into the past and respect for the present, I cultivate compassion for self, and help clients, including couples, try out new ways of being in the world while acting consistently with their most cherished values. Your process of self-discovery, healing, and growth begins with collaboration and trust. I bring curiosity, warmth, and humor to the therapeutic relationship. Integrating skills based and psychodynamic approaches, I will creatively tailor science-informed techniques to your unique challenges and style of relating. I specialize in treatments for trauma/PTSD and couples or relationship problems. I also treat a range of issues arising from significant life transitions, including parenthood, workplace or school stressors, and the reproductive journey.

🌟 Embodied Hope For Your Journey to Healing and Growth 🌟 Dealing with trauma can be really tough, whether it's from a specific event or something that's been with you for a long time. It can affect so many parts of your life, from your mental health to your relationships to your sleep. Doing it all while keeping up with classes? That's exhausting. It helps to have someone who knows trauma work and can support you while you gauge how to pace your healing process. I provide therapy for many different types of trauma: emotional neglect, abuse, combat, complex PTSD, intimate partner violence, sexual assault/harassment, bullying, accidents, medical illness, pregnancy/birth, and toxic relationships. I'm experienced in gold standard therapies for trauma, nightmares, insomnia, anxiety, and OCD. It's important to me to help people to understand and work with - not in spite of - their nervous system. I've been through a lot of different experiences in my career, working in hospital and outpatient settings. Real progress comes from having a place where our nervous system can gradually rebuild a sense of safety, grow in flexibility, and practice new learning. My goal is to make therapy that kind of a place. I believe in using therapy strategies that are proven to be effective, but that doesn't mean sessions have to be rigid or boring. Depending on the client, I'll pull in painting, novels and movies, music, Minecraft, sports, and comedians. I'm also always learning and growing as a therapist to make sure you're getting the best care possible. Although therapy progress isn't always a straight line, learning new skills and ways of thinking almost always has ups and downs. That's completely normal. It's totally understandable if you wish you could feel better right away. I'll do my best to create a fluid plan, tailored just for you, to help you head in that direction. You don't have to be alone. Someone I value once told me that sometimes we carry hope for others until they're ready to pick it back up themselves. Let me know if you'd like to talk about what that might look like for you to be ready to carry your own hope again.

College can be an amazing time full of new experiences, but let’s be real—it can also feel stressful and overwhelming. I love working with young adults who are figuring out the ups and downs of campus life. Whether you're dealing with roommate drama, trying to balance work and fun, or adjusting to being more independent, sometimes it helps to talk to someone who gets it and can help you work through the tough stuff. If this sounds like something you’d find helpful, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect and support you through this exciting but challenging time.

The beauty of therapy is its ability to provide a safe space, unbiased, listening ears, and dedicated time to focus on you. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central. It creates the foundation necessary to promote mental and emotional growth and well-being. Therefore, each session we will work to build an alliance, which will become instrumental for making progress and attaining your identified goals. Using an integrative approach will allow me to tailor our time together to best meet your needs. I will highlight your strengths and provide you with the tools necessary to strengthen the areas you wish to improve. In addition to others, I have a special interest in working with those invested in holistic health, more specifically a mind/body connection. I am here to support, guide, and encourage you throughout this journey, as you take control. Reaching out takes courage; it is the first step in the direction of growth and positive changes. I look forward to creating a space where listening is focal, empathy is provided, improvements are acknowledged, goals are accomplished, and individuality is celebrated. Come as you are!
