Therapists for college students near New York University

If you feel lost in your relationships and are not sure how to reconnect, I can teach you a different approach to communication. If your anxiety (or your child's anxiety) is taking over your life, I can teach you strategies that restore calm and help you build confidence. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals and families just like yours, with a specialty in anxiety (including health anxiety and OCD), and relationships. I love helping clients build more peaceful, connected relationships with themselves and with others, and I invest just as much as my clients do in each session. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible.

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to see a change in their life. I’ve worked in a myriad of settings, ranging from satellite clinics based on early educational settings to social adult daycares (and everything else in between, including hospitals and intensive day treatment). I believe that starting from the client's needs is the key to successful treatment. In order to explore the possible foundation of the problem, I like to get a general overview of the concerns and the person's current living environment, support system, background, and upbringing. Homework is assigned only if warranted; depending on the mode of treatment utilized and individual preferences, it may or may not be necessary.

I provide a range of strategies for addressing anxiety, managing stress, and improving functioning in life, work, and relationships. As a therapist, I develop a collaborative relationship through which to address areas in your life that are in need of change. Whether one is dealing with a painful experience or are seeking new perspectives, I will help you gain greater self-knowledge, to overcome self-limiting behaviors and to face barriers in achieving your goals. I will listen attentively while actively helping you to develop techniques and skills for coping with life’s challenges. I take a holistic approach that focuses on the whole person, including biological, psychological, and social concerns. Through the use of evidence-based practices, my clients frequently experience a reduction in symptoms early on in treatment. I have over 8 years of experience and have received training in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic approaches. I utilize methods that fit best for you, including mindfulness, coping-skills building, and creative expressive techniques. I work with individuals with an array of concerns, including addiction, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Clients may be struggling with the lingering impact of trauma or with current life stressors. Therapy may include exploring questions around identity, family of origin issues, or career and life goals. I support anyone who is seeking to improve their relationships, to develop greater self-knowledge, and to find new strategies for coping with life’s challenges.

If you’re here, I see the courage it takes to start this work. Many clients seem put-together but privately struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or people-pleasing—often rooted in past trauma or early relational patterns. Using EMDR therapy, parts work, and mind-body approaches, we move beyond insight to embodied healing in a warm, collaborative, trauma-informed space—processing trauma, breaking old patterns, and nurturing your growth, confidence, and self-trust so you can feel grounded, resilient, and fully alive. Alongside more structured therapies like CBT and DBT, I also incorporate mind-body healing practices including the Emotional Freedom Technique, mindfulness, attachment theory, and inner child healing. You can expect therapy to feel like a safe space where you, your needs, and your growth are prioritized, and where elements of the body, mind, and spirit are all equally emphasized. I look forward to meeting with you and traveling through this healing journey together.

Let’s be honest, going to therapy can be a little intimidating. I know what you are thinking, “what would speaking to a shrink do for me? I have so much on my mind, it will take more than a few sessions to unleash everything.” Well…I got time AND passion. I believe that as human beings living in our present society, we are conditioned to put our needs aside and we frequently forget how to take care of ourselves. As your therapist, I am strongly devoted to assisting you in tackling life challenges, managing problems, and coming out stronger than ever because YOU are capable. My approach to therapy is to use a strength based perspective, CBT and create an unapologetic space for my client. I want my client to feel they don't need to sugar coat anything in sessions because I truly believe transparency will open up my client's full potential to self-discovery and personal growth. I know taking this next step is scary AND brave. Imagine yourself opening up to possibilities you only dreamt of and finally being in control over your life and happiness. Let's work together to build that dream by tackling those negative thought distortions and create new perspectives in order to create your new reality.

I am a bilingual bicultural licensed clinical social worker fluent in English and Spanish with background in psychodynamic psychotherapy and school-based/school-linked mental health services. I have 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults across a variety of settings (in-home, schools, clinics). As a Native New Yorker I’m aware of the various stressors of city living—My work has focused on issues such as depression/anxiety, PTSD, grief, women’s issues, multicultural identity issues, interpersonal difficulties, (ADHD),conduct disorder, autism, intellectual disability, life transitions and trauma. My practice focuses on the psychological and social well-being of the individual. I’m passionate about helping people improve their lives by developing better cognitive and emotional skills. I am an empathic, caring and compassionate individual. I always try my best to understand the needs of the individual(s) i serve with a listening ear and nonjudgmental attitude. I believe that the work that we do is no simple task, but with courage, faith and a trusting therapeutic relationship we can safely begin the process of healing. I look forward to working with you.

My clients often come to me with a history of trauma or adversity, and a strong desire to process and understand how their past has shaped them to be the person they are today. They’re motivated, insightful, eager to grow, and have a strong desire to learn the skills necessary to have healthier relationships, better communication, and improved confidence. Through our work together, we begin to understand and develop the tools necessary to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms that can at times be a barrier for further growth. I aim to provide an empathetic and compassionate space where clients feel safe to open up and supported in their process. Utilizing a non-pathologizing and trauma-informed lens, I help clients put together a cohesive narrative of their life experiences to empower them to begin building a life that feels aligned with their goals and values. At the core of my work is the belief that a strong therapeutic connection is the foundation for successful treatment allowing for personal growth, insight, and healing. Beginning therapy is not always an easy process, but we will always go at your pace as we work toward better days.

College years are exciting and full of opportunity, but they also have their share of challenges. Navigating academic pressure and social changes, managing stress and uncertainty about the future, balancing academic demands with work, family, and social life can feel overwhelming. As a therapist working with college students I draw on my own experiences as a student in multiple settings and work to provide a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals without judgment. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or just adjusting to the demands of college life, I’m here to help. Together, we can explore your strengths, learn and implement strategies to cope with the stress, and help you identify a path that will feel meaningful and fulfilling to you. As a person-centered therapist I work to create a space where you can be unapologetically yourself. I provide non-judgmental, compassionate and affirming support to individuals navigating the complexities of life, including dealing with depression and anxiety, navigating significant life transitions, and exploring gender identity and sexuality. My therapy approach is rooted in understanding, respect, and empowerment. I offer a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we’ll work to identify your strengths and cultivate a sense of authenticity and self-acceptance. Working from a perspective of cultural humility and drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs and goals. I commit to providing you with the support you need to thrive in all aspects of your life. The goal in my work is to help clients identify anything that will help them feel a sense of fulfillment and meaning in their life – work through any obstacles that they are experiencing – both internal and external – and take steps towards those values. I have specific experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals (particularly transgender and non-binary individuals), neurodivergent individuals, activists and artists. I also draw on personal experience as a transgender, neurodivergent (Autistic) woman in my work. For transgender and non-binary individuals seeking support in medical transitioning I can work with you to explore that and provide any support you need in the process (including letters as needed). I work from a Feminist and Person-Centered perspective and use a mix of Existential, Narrative, and Acceptance & Commitment therapy.

Finding the right mental health support can be a powerful step toward lasting change. I work with individuals ready to explore what's holding them back and open to discovering healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. Together, we’ll address issues such as anxiety, depression, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and mood disorders. I also have extensive experience with bariatric patients, both pre- and post-surgery, as well as individuals managing codependency or struggling with emotional regulation. In our work, I blend the latest evidence-based therapies—like CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, and supportive therapy—with medication management to provide a comprehensive approach to your mental well-being. I believe therapy is deeply personal and unique for everyone, so I also incorporate personality assessments and value inventories where helpful, tailoring the approach to fit you. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. With over 20 years of experience, I understand the importance of a compassionate, direct, and practical approach. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment where you can feel safe to work on yourself, trust the process, and make meaningful progress. This journey may ask you to be open to difficult truths and new perspectives, and I’m here to work just as hard as you do, helping you navigate the path toward a healthier, more balanced life. Whether you’re managing life-long patterns or recent challenges, we’ll work together to help you find resilience, improve coping skills, and feel better equipped to handle whatever comes next.

Since starting private practice, my clients have been for the most part POC, LGBTQ/non-binary, undergrad/graduate students. Since I spent five years teaching as an adjunct and then full-time professor (in nursing), I have some insights into the challenges today's students currently experience and believe I can be a useful asset toward managing any symptoms that may interfere with obtaining your degree. Even though I am a prescriber, I treat the whole person. I don't want to just know the medicine efficacy, or lack thereof; I also want to know what's going on in your life. Is there balance? Are you connected socially? Should we also be discussing any family issues? Going off to school can be challenging and although psychotropic medication plays a role in ameliorating anxiety and depression, we also can engage non-pharmacologic interventions to get you to a better place.

Life can be overwhelming at times and that can sometimes make our relationships complicated.

My focus is on being your guide to learning to implement compassion with yourself and your reactions while also allowing yourself space to grow. Take the first step in your therapeutic journey. I'm here to support you every step of the way. I encourage you to reach out, the best way to reach me is through email or phone.
