Therapists for college students near New York, NY

For many, college is the best of times..the newfound freedom to discover who you are and where you’re going in your career and your relationships and the sense of all that’s possible. But, for others, it’s also the worst. Why? Because this is also a time of existential crises. New freedoms bring up so many questions: Is this really the relationship or career I want to pursue? If this is such a great time in my life, why do I feel so anxious, stressed, or depressed? Why can’t I regularly tap into the motivation I want to do all the things I’ve always wanted to do? Imagine how it feels… the waves constantly coming at you. You personally have to navigate these situations, because you’re the only one with all the answers. But it feels scary and shameful that you don’t have the foggiest clue of what you’re doing. And shouldn’t you already know by now?? Not at all! Truth is, college is a much more difficult time than most people acknowledge. But hard times can also be opportunities… for you to discover more fully who you are and how to embrace this ‘not-knowing.’ Our work together will help you learn how to make sense of all these different feelings, and cultivate the creativity needed to make something interesting and new out of all those questions. Instead of being pummeled by the waves, you can actually surf them! Instead of getting pulled in by the undertow, the barrage of self-critical and anxious thoughts that keep you up at night, I’ll help you learn how to approach these without fear and harness them so you can find your answers. Let’s get started! If you’re excited about putting aside the worry and the stress and finding your energy and direction again, call or email me so we can get started. College can be that great time you’d always hoped it would be.

I am doing Tele-health sessions at this time. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood, trauma, or sexual orientation, and you are ready to make a change in your life, I would be glad to hear from you. As a therapist, I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental place for people to honestly examine their problems and develop the skills and behaviors that help them move forward with their lives. My approach is one of respect and warmth, and attention to the dignity of every person. Many of my clients have gone through traumatic or disorienting experiences, and struggle with depression, anxiety, or other debilitating emotional problems. Too often, we feel alone; and that our voices are not heard. I am here to guide you on your journey. You are not alone.

At Perspectives Mental Health Counseling, PLLC, you are welcome. You may come to gain a viewpoint outside of your current network of friends, family, co-workers, teammates, and to take a look at your own perspective as well. By gaining new insight, you will find ways to make positive change in your life and cope with whatever it is you carry with you through the door. Together we can, through talk therapy, work towards discovering and helping you to become the healthiest you. I specialize in working with individuals who are coping with medical issues.

My Approach Transitions in our lives can bring up a lot of different emotions. Some of these emotions can be conflicting if the transition “should” be happy. My work focuses on individuals and couples as they navigate through these transitions. There are ways to process it, work through it and allow you to show up authentically for yourself and your relationships. Your emotions are valid and your reactions are safety mechanisms learned through your survival of your experiences. My goal is to help you navigate through these changes, learn about yourself and build a meaningful life.

Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or just have the feeling there should be more to life, I can help you explore possibilities for change.

I believe every person grows from the positive and negative relationships they've been in or are currently in.

Therapy can be like having personal training at a Gym. Just as a personal trainer shows you how to use the various machines and discusses nutrition, a counselor shows you the different ways to get your most important organ (brain) into shape. Ever feel overwhelmed with life and everything you have to deal with daily? The truth is most people feel this way and need to take time to reflect. This is also where a professional, such as myself, can guide you to acquire clarity. As a licensed counselor, I consider it a privilege to help people resolve life issues. I am licensed in New York, New Jersey and South Dakota. For the last 11 years I have been working in outpatient settings helping, people through life's toughest issues. I have specialized more in working with adults who have issues with depression, anxiety and relationships. In my practice, I believe in a holistic approach to healing which includes one's bio, psycho, social and spiritual self. Wherever you may be in your journey, we can and will explore this in order for you to find strength on your journey to find resolution and healing.

My clients usually approach me when they are ready to make a change in their lives. They are experiencing conflicts, inside themselves or with others, and are looking for an empathic, flexible and dynamic clinician to provide support and guidance.

My clients and I are both “agents of change,” constantly progressing, and continuously developing through this journey called life. I am currently licensed and practicing in the state of California and New Jersey. I also have a permit to practice in New York supervised by Dr. Melissa Laracuenta- Hernandez.

Are you carrying the weight of being a first-generation eldest hija while trying to find your own path? Te veo. Balancing school, family expectations, and your own needs can feel overwhelming. You may feel pressure to succeed, to make your family proud, and to hold everything together, while quietly feeling stretched or disconnected from yourself. In our work together, we create space to slow down and check in with what you’re feeling and needing. Therapy becomes a place to explore who you are beyond expectations, while gently tending to the parts of you that have learned to push through or put yourself last. My approach is trauma informed, relational, and culturally attuned, with attention to both your emotional experience and your body’s response to stress. We move at a pace that feels steady, supporting you in building self trust and a more grounded relationship with yourself. I also provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases, conducted with objectivity, care, and cultural awareness. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York, and a first-generation eldest daughter of Colombian parents. My work is shaped by both lived experience and over a decade of clinical practice, offering a space that honors the complexity of your story.

I strive to create an atmosphere of trust, respect, and compassion that allows people to become more self-aware, to find healing, and to living a more fulfilling life. I'm very familiar with the needs and issues of undergraduate, graduate, and medical students because I worked for two years at the University Counseling Center and have had many students in my practice. I offer individual and relationship counseling and integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques based on the particular needs of each client or couple. I provide support and direction, but also find it essential to work collaboratively with my clients. And, I not only help address the specific problems clients bring to therapy, but also strive to assist them in identifying and fostering their specific strengths and abilities. I have a teletherapy only practice. I’ve worked with a large number of students via this format and it has proved very successful. Many people like it because it's so convenient, especially when they’re juggling a busy schedule or don't have transportation. I’m always glad to have an initial conversation to answer any questions you might have about teletherapy or my practice. A note about insurance and payment: Some insurances other than those listed under the finance section may be covered. Actual costs for therapy are based on your insurance's copay amounts. Most clients with insurance only pay between $10-$40 per session. If I'm not able to accept your insurance, session costs will be based on your income if you are emancipated from your parents or a graduate student. If you are still a dependent in your parent's household then your fee would be based on your parent's combined income.

Have you been feeling lost or stuck? Feeling disconnected with yourself? Or feeling alone in the challenges you are facing? I believe that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have; that we are shaped by the tools we have adopted or have learned throughout our lives. However, these tools aren’t always enough, or don’t serve us in the ways we truly need. Many of our emotional challenges or struggles come from pieces of ourselves that are hurt or misunderstood. While these experiences can feel isolating, this is not a journey you have to approach alone. I work with clients to help them explore their identities, develop self-compassion, process trauma, and learn more effective ways to identify and manage their emotions. Through a mix of counseling modalities, we will work together to help you heal and feel better equipped to handle both current challenges and those you may face in the future. As someone who's been on the "other side of the couch", I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating; not knowing if things are going to "get better" can be scary. However, therapy is not always about just moving forward, but rather sometimes visiting the past or sitting in the present so that you can grow and feel more prepared for the future.
