Therapists for college students near New York, NY
With warmth, empathy and humor, I create a non-judgemental, and safe environment in which to explore and resolve challenging issues. I am a solution-focused therapist, and my primary goals are the relief of distressing symptoms, restoring emotional balance and clarity of thought, improving self regulation, developing more stable and intimate relationships, and having a more satisfying life experience. While we can't change difficult experiences of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in the present.
I specialize in supporting young adults, professionals, and couples who experience challenges with relationships, anxiety, self-esteem, and chronic illness. Finding calm and balance is essential when the world around us is changing so quickly. In fact, times of uncertainty provide opportunities for us to look within, reevaluate our priorities, and recognize what we really need. I’m here to give you concrete help, guidance, and tools to navigate change, communicate effectively, and identify your wants and needs. I work to create a safe, judgment-free space that supports you in finding your truths.
We would collaboratively with college students of all ages and offer a free -15 telephone consultation to provide space for you to share a bit more about why you are seeking therapy, an opportunity to share a bit more about how we work as well as time for any additional questions you, your partner or your parents may have.

My name is Savi and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. I have a particular interest in working with students as much of my clinical experience is in working with people in their teens and early 20’s who are going through the big life changes that happen at these times. There is so much to navigate during this time in life with academic demands, becoming more independent from our families, and starting new relationships. There are many reasons we are drawn to start therapy, but I find it is often because we are struggling with difficult feelings related to these things that we may not understand and don’t know how to get rid of. I think it’s important that you have a safe place to talk about these feelings and for us to begin to understand what is underneath them.
I believe healing starts with genuine connection, and it’s an honor to be part of that process with you. My passion is helping people discover a fuller, more meaningful life, and I’m committed to walking alongside you every step of the way. With evidence-based tools and a compassionate approach, we’ll create a nurturing space for you to explore your values, hopes, and goals at your own pace. My intention is to always meet you exactly where you are and empower you to experience more freedom, presence and joy in your life. I work with individuals who want to understand their story more deeply; exploring childhood experiences, recognizing patterns, and healing from attachment wounds. Using evidence-based tools and a compassionate, meet-you-where-you-are approach, I’m here to support you along the way. Therapy is about understanding yourself more fully and finding the confidence to live in alignment with what matters most to you. The hardest part is often getting started. If this resonates, let’s talk. I’d be honored to hear your story and support you as you create the life you’re ready to step into.

Individual and Couples Psychotherapist Board Certified in Clinical Neuropsychology
We assess each client's environment, family, biological factors, and experiences from childhood to the present day. We consider a strong therapeutic relationship to be the highest indicator of progress in therapy. Being able to be open with one another enhances the therapy process. Without a strong rapport between therapist and client, safety doesn't exist, and barriers to positive change exist. After gathering history and establishing rapport, we then tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. We provide EMDR (trauma therapy) as well as regular talk psychotherapy.

I am a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, currently practicing and licensed in New York and California. I have a virtual private practice. I am also an attending child and adolescent psychiatrist/Clinical Assistant Professor at New York University Grossman School of Medicine, Medical Director of the Mental Health Team at the Nicholas Scoppetta Children's Center, and the Medical Director of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Association for Children's Services. I completed my child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. I was born and raised in New York City, where I also completed my medical education at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine and my adult psychiatry residency at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. I enjoy working with each individual to find out what the needs are. No family, child, adolescent, or adult are the same, and everyone exists within a system. It is important to see a person as a whole, including the family they come from, school, job, community, and much more, in order to treat properly. My approach, when treating a child or adolescent, is to consider the community they are in, come from an attachment-based lens, and meet the youth where they are. Involvement of the parents will be important, especially depending on the age of the youth. My approach, when treating an adult, is to meet that adult where they are, understand their unique situation and treat accordingly. Personally, and professionally, I am interested in attachment theory and mind-body connection. I have received training in mindfulness-based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, family therapy, parent management training, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. My main areas of focus: anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, ADHD, trauma, behavioral issues, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), self-esteem, family, parenting, interpersonal dynamics, and school issues. However, each person is unique, so I am happy to speak to anyone and see if we are a good fit.
I have a decade of experience in college mental health and enjoy working with students, both undergraduate and gradaute, from all backgrounds.

I see therapy as a two-person journey that I embark on with each and every one of my clients.
Are you in the midst of navigating young adulthood, trying to carve out your own identity? This journey is exciting, yet it can also feel overwhelming and uncertain. Do you often feel the weight of expectations from family, friends, or society, pushing you toward specific paths—like what college to attend or which career to pursue? From the outside, is your life “together” or “on track” but on the inside, you’re struggling with anxiety and self-esteem? If so, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you explore who you are and who you truly want to be. It’s completely normal to experience anxiety, stress, or confusion during this pivotal time in your life. Your role in your family is changing as you grow into an adult. Social media and comparison may be making you feel inadequate. These are real and intense pressures of young-adulthood. Together, we’ll develop skills to make real change in managing your anxiety, building your self-esteem, and empowering you to embrace your authentic self. Utilizing a blend of Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I guide young people in processing emotions, understanding past experiences, and developing concrete skills to feel more empowered and in control. Our therapy sessions will provide a safe and affirming space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. As an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, I create an inclusive space where people of all identities can feel accepted. This period of life is all about exploration and self-discovery, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I practice holistically integrating an evaluation of overall health and lifestyle into my recommendations for possible medication options. You can learn more about me and my approach by visiting my website, www.drsaraiya.com
