Therapists for college students near New York University

I thought about listing all my education, training and clinical experience here but I don’t think that’s what you are truly interested in. I believe you want to know whether I would be a good person to work with, whether I can really understand what you are going through, whether you will feel safe talking to me, whether I know what I am doing, whether I am the right match for what you are seeking in therapy. All of those questions and concerns are absolutely valid and I know I was asking myself the same things before I started my own therapy many years ago. So maybe I will tell you a little bit about what it may be like working with me. I am a very active therapist who will get in the weeds with you. I will want to get to know you – who you are as a person, what is going really well in your life, what is missing, what you feel you would like to explore more or change, what your goals and dreams are and the obstacles that have prevented you from creating the kind of fulfilling life you deserve. I use humor often and we laugh a lot in my sessions. I aim to be authentic and honest while creating a warm and non-judgmental space for us to work in. I will be invested in your success and transformation – I get tremendous joy out of supporting my clients through their process of self-discovery and change. I will also challenge you to look at things that may make you feel uncomfortable and hold you accountable to achieving the goals we set up together. My specialties include anxiety, adjusting to college and stress related to academics or relationships, perfectionism, eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder) and disordered eating (including emotional eating, chronic dieting, excessive exercise, body image issues, binge eating, etc.). I want you to know that I am passionate about what I do and believe that therapy can truly be a transformative experience. Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. I am excited to get to know you and work together to create lasting change in your life.

Your story matters. Let’s explore it together. Life’s challenges—whether in relationships, career, or personal identity—can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps. My approach is collaborative and holistic, integrating both body & mind to address the full scope of your experience. I draw from somatic therapies and parts work like IFS, resourcing techniques in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, to provide tools and techniques that go beyond talking, helping you create deeper, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and holistic, integrating body and mind to address the full scope of your experience. Together, we’ll uncover strategies to build resilience, process past traumas, and shift patterns that no longer serve you.

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. If you’re ready to create a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling, I can help you. Let’s work together to create lasting change. Reach out today to take the first step.

My specialty is ‘extreme stuckness’. My approach is intense, caring, tough, and free-flowing rather than structured. My therapy groups are full of challenging, brilliant, courageous people who seek depth and growth. All the therapists in our group practice are trained in a meta-approach called "Feedback Informed Treatment" which means that we track how things are going session-by-session to see if anything needs to change about our work together to help you get where you want to go.

Most of my 25 plus years of practice have been spent working with adolescents and young adults. I have done so within classrooms as a teacher as well as in my office in private practice. I am specifically aware of the increasing demands placed upon young people to excel whether those demands are internal, external or both. My clients will tell you that they never have to wonder what I am thinking as I am fairly direct in my approach. My experience has been that, tempered with a good sense of humor and genuine concern, this style allows for lasting change. In this time of telehealth, I have night and weekend video appointments available as well.

Many of the people I work with are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) who are struggling to navigate multiple areas of their life like work, school, family, relationships, or the intersectionalities of their identities. Many talk about often feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. This then kicks off to what feels like a never ending cycle of confusion, frustration, depression, and anxiety. Therapy is an opportunity to find clarity and work through these obstacles to help people get their life back on track. My clients and I work together to develop more mindful behaviors to help lead a more meaningful and healthy life. People develop certain attitudes and perspectives based on their early life experiences to survive when they were younger. But these attitudes and perspectives are not helping now which is part of the reason why people might feel stuck. By looking at these attitudes and perspectives closely, people can learn to change how they talk to themselves, how they react to their emotions. and take more thoughtful actions to move forward towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. My practice integrates several evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that encompasses principles of person-centered, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, multiculturalism, and strength-based values. With my compassionate, collaborative, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth style, therapy can address the things that are getting in the way of people’s life so that they can move forward. COMMON EXPERIENCES THAT I WORK WITH PEOPLE ON: - It feels like your mind is playing tricks on you - It feels like your eyes or ears are playing tricks on you - It feels like something odd is going on or hard to explain - Confused at times whether something is real or imaginary - You feel suspicious or mistrustful of others - It feels like you have little control over your thoughts - It feels like others can hear your thoughts or read your mind - Having thoughts or beliefs that you or others find strange - Race-related identity, culture, and intersectionality - Cultural and systemic trauma and oppression

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.

Helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, and traumatic life experiences are some of my areas of expertise. Adding school pressures, deadlines, work, parenting and other responsibilities on top of that can be very overwhelming. Pain and emotions that we have been running from can start to catch up with us, stress and anxiety can climb to a level we have never experienced, and the relationships that we cherish can become strained. As life evolves we can lose the ability to cope the way we once did. When this happens we often need to adjust, understand the deeper source of our struggle and learn new strategies to manage our thoughts and feelings. With over 15 years experience in the mental health field I have helped many people do just that, learn new strategies and better understand themselves so that they can successfully manage life's ups and downs. If you are reading this and find yourself saying, "that's me", give me a call. You don't how to figure this out alone.
