Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Are you trying to manage your stress in the ever-growing tumultuous environment? Are you working from home having a hard time juggling with family life? Perhaps you have a challenge with practicing effective communication? Or maybe just talking about your issues can be difficult, and that's ok. Do you want to learn more about yourself, how to cope in a healthy way, and have better communication? I can help. In my practice, I respect the unique experience of each individual. I see the particular difficulties that each faces. I listen and interact with empathy and provide insight and support. No two treatments are the same. Using techniques from Solution-Focused Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I offer support and teach skills to help you change negative thought patterns, increase your coping strategies, and feel more empowered. We’ll work side-by-side to ensure your success. I believe it is important to feel heard, validated, and understood. We need to feel purposeful and that we matter. We can't change difficult situations of the past, but we can work together to better understand them and to resolve current challenges in your life. I offer a safe place for you to discuss your feelings and emotions without judgment.

I am an ANCC Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and PNCB Board Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in psychiatric diagnosis, medication management, psychotherapy and holistic interventions for children, adolescents, and young adults with mental health concerns. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, a Master’s degree in Nursing from Yale University and a Post-Master’s Certificate from Hunter College with a specialty in Psychiatric Mental Health. My background includes working in Community Health and Outpatient practices. I am strongly committed to working with adolescents and young adults and I have over 15 years of experience with a wide range of common issues like stress, anxiety, depression, and attention deficit (Attention Deficit Disorder/ADHD), amongst others. I also provide care with: relationship difficulties or family or other interpersonal challenges; stresses at work or school; grief or loss; or a tricky transition. As a dually certified provider, my treatment approach respects the client as a whole and I frequently recommend treatment interventions including the use of psychotropic medication, but also place emphasis on other important domains of wellbeing, including nutrition, exercise, interpersonal and familial relationships, and psychotherapy. In my practice, I will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan which may include therapeutic strategies, medication management, or lifestyle changes. My clinical approach is based on the clinical and developmental needs of each client and is tailored to their individual strengths. I integrate the neurobiological understanding of mental health with an emphasis on the nursing model, which focuses on patient education, advocacy, and a holistic approach of maintaining overall wellness.
