Therapists for college students near New York University

My practice involves first taking time to establish comfortability and trust. From there, I introduce everyone to a variety of approaches depending on what suits their needs helps then meet their goals.

I specialize in treating mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, and BiPolar Disorder as well as ADHD. I am able to help you learn how to manage the symptoms associated with these conditions to live your life as fully and healthily as possible. I am psychodynamically oriented but able to utilize cognitive behavioral tools to manage acute concerns and struggles. This means we can talk about absolutely everything and anything that matters to you, from the practical to the esoteric. Currently, I am offering therapy, remotely as well as in-person, in my Ridgewood, New Jersey office.

Do you worry about the future? Would you describe yourself as having difficulty with perfectionism, relationships with family & friends, social anxiety or identity? We are a small practice with two therapists--Spencer & Carlie who love providing therapy to young adults as they navigate this exciting and nerve wracking time moving from childhood and dependence to adulthood and independence. We often work with young adults who may have had therapy in high school but did not previously find therapy helpful (often due to a lack of agency in picking their therapist, misunderstanding or invalidation of their experiences, disruptions in confidentiality or lack of concrete coping skills/goals worked on). We provide a reparative experience where clients feel genuinely supported and able to advocate and ask for what they need. We use a variety of different therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal-Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Based Therapy, EMDR, Goal-oriented Therapy and Mindfulness. Our clients often move towards a feeling of confidence, improved relationships and belief in their abilities to handle any challenges that may come their way.

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Army war veteran and psychotherapist. My experience includes working with military, veterans, immigrants, domestic violence survivals and generational trauma. I am trained on EMDR and somatic. I provide you a safe environment to help you on your journey of healing.

CONNECTIONS BEYOND LOCATION! Our practice is a full time telehealth practice providing our clients with relatable and experienced clinicians who can meet with you in your space and work at your pace. We are a practice that prioritizes mental, physical and spiritual wellness. We all both identify as persons of color and are aligned with racial and social justice/equity.

Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood, no matter what you do? You may be feeling fed up with not knowing truly who you are and what you want, feeling like you will never be truly happy again. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and stressed. You're ready to find your true authentic self and peace of mind. Most of all you're ready to create safe and reliable relationships with others, where you feel understood, heard, and cared for. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who listens without judgment and understands their inner experiences, because therapy should be a place where you feel safe and understood. Sessions with me are tailored to each client individually. Together, we can find peacefulness and happiness within our selves and in our relationships. As an experienced trauma informed practitioner, I believe that clients deserve the power to choose the areas of their life they want to focus on. You do not have to continue to feel misunderstood, and you don't have to do it alone. Email me today or visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I can not wait to hear from you.

College can be hard, especially the first year. Do you feel overwhelmed, and anxious all of the time? Do you often feel sad, lonely or stay by yourself often? Do you scroll through social media or binge watch shows for long periods of time. Are you developing headaches, stomach aches or your heart just starts palpitating out of no where? Do you just don't feel like yourself lately? Welcome to Mind Meets Movement Counseling Services, PLLC. We are an integrated group practice with over 15 years of experience specializing in young adult psychotherapy. We strongly believe in the mind body connection and incorporate natural holistic methods during the therapy process. These methods include learning the benefits of breathing exercises and the light movement. We are a firm believer that everyone is capable of change. Together we will figure out how to help you move forward in your life.

My philosophy in working with others is to work within a respectful and collaborative relationship, with a here-and-now orientation, that acknowledges your strengths and competencies. My belief is that you know yourself better than anyone and it is you who determines your therapy goals. I recognize that change is a process and occurs on a continuum or in stages. Where you are on this continuum will help guide our work supporting a very individualized treatment experience. I approach therapy with a sense of shared expertise - client and therapist each co-creating successful experience and outcome. In other words - you are not alone! I work within an integrated model of care which is strongly influenced and rooted in Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), positive psychology, harm reduction, mindfulness meditation, self-compassion and acceptance-based approaches all of which are now considered mainstream approaches to psychotherapy. I am also greatly influenced by the evidence-based teachings of Lifestyle Medicine as they impact emotional well-being. I specialize in the treatment of relationship issues including infidelity; depression, anxiety and its spectrum disorders; grief and loss issues, including pet loss; lifestyle and its impact on health and wellness (nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep and social support), sexuality concerns (including but not limited to those impacting individuals who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, gay dads and coming out issues), as well as men dealing with compulsive sexual behavior, erectile dysfunction (ED), Internet pornography; and those living with chronic illness, HIV/AIDS related concerns, alcohol and substance use.

My name is Ann Schuhlein. I am a graduate intern and currently attending the University of Rochester - Warner School of Education for Mental Health Counseling. I provide a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring and expressing their thoughts and feelings. My therapeutic approach aligns with individualized treatment plans and goals of each client. I am committed and dedicated to collaborating with clients to provide the necessary tools to manage and overcome challenges in a healthy manner in addition to helping clients attain the goals they have set for themselves.

Young adulthood is a time of transitions, growth and self discovery. While many new challenges can be exciting, this time of exploration can also become overwhelming. There can be a lot of “shoulds”, comparisons and uncertainty. My office is a safe space to process through all of these thoughts and feelings without feeling judged or criticized. Together we work to figure out a path to help you build the necessary skills and insights to launch into the adult life you are seeking. I love working with young adults and college students to help them embrace this season of their life. As a Registered Yoga Teacher I value the connection between the mind and body and what stress does to our overall well being. With that being said- if yoga/meditation/mindfulness is not your thing it does not need to be involved in your treatment. I always work to creatively match the evidenced based treatment modalities I am trained in to fit a client’s unique goals and strengths. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at 585-432-0717 or through email at maryvanvoorhislcsw@gmail.com to learn more about my practice or to set up a brief initial call to see if my practice might be a good fit for you.

Working through your struggles can feel like an isolating experience. I create a supportive and collaborative environment to help you safely work through your personal challenges and achieve your goals. I am an experienced social worker who’s practiced clinical therapy in acute, medical, community, and outpatient settings. I work with diverse populations ranging from college students to active adults. I specialize in, but am not limited to, working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and life transitions. Additionally, with a background in visual arts, I embrace your creative process and understand the importance of self-expression.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a licensed school psychologist. I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY. Urban and rural, inpatient and outpatient work settings have taught me about the many challenges an individual may face including experiences of oppression and injustice, as well as a deep appreciation for the richness of the human experience. My style is described as warm, analytical and collaborative, balancing deep emotional work with elements of humor and lightness when appropriate. I aim to help clients address the root of complex challenges, in a safe and supported way. I most enjoy working with anxious kids and families, neurodivergent humans, queer clients, and folks working with depression, trauma, attachment, and identity including DID. I use insight-oriented, mindfulness-based, and systemic approaches including family therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, and emotion-focused work. I seek to help clients understand patterns that may not be serving them, and to hold a safe and empowering space in which positive shifts can occur. I am a student and teacher of yoga and meditation and I often weave these practices into my work with clients. I currently offer virtual therapy to clients in Oregon, New York, Colorado and Vermont.

We are a group therapy practice that gives you private practice attention and quality with reasonable rates. We also take many insurance plans. We have in-person and virtual sessions available (as long as you are somewhere in NY state!) We work with many college students and totally understand the academic and social stresses and pressures of being in college!

I am a New York state licensed clinical psychologist, supervisor, and doctoral professor. I work with individual adults and couples experiencing distress due to fluctuations in mood, changing life circumstances, difficult relationships, and uncertain identity. Given my own multicultural identity, I approach every patient with compassion and curiosity for their experiences, encouraging those I work with to practice the same. I find that the most successful therapy is a result of healthy collaboration, trust, and creating a safe space to do the work. Let’s do this.

there are a number of credentials i could share about myself and ways you might decide if i'm the right therapist for you, but honestly, between you and me, what matters is that i love this work and i believe in this work. i feel deeply humbled to hold people's stories and hearts for a living. the trust that this work requires is no small thing, and i never take that lightly. in my clinical practice, i use theories rooted in an anti-racist, queer liberation, harm reduction, and body-neutral framework. i feel most drawn to this work through an attachment-focused analytical frame. we have all been harmed in relationships, and i believe our healing must also exist in relationships. i know we cannot look at one's personal frame without understanding the systemic and cultural impact that intersectionality has had on one's own experience. i have committed to my clinical work always evolving, and we will both teach each other what comes next. i can't promise a safe place, but i can promise an accountable one. i will create the container, i will show up for rupture, and together we will build a foundation of trust to help you heal, grow, challenge, and shift the things that brought you here. i received my master's in clinical social work from silberman school of social work at hunter college in new york city. after graduation, i worked in community mental health, supporting young mothers on their journey towards recovery from opioid-based addictions. i then joined a group practice where i've worked for many years, supporting folks to heal complicated relationships with food, their bodies, their boundaries, their gender, and their sexuality. i believe i am a partner in this work with you, and as people change, heal, and move forward in their lives, i feel profoundly impacted to bear witness and be a part of your story. it is miraculous. finding the right therapist is a process: trust yourself, explore, ask hard questions. we work for you and with you. i am a white, queer, abolitionist, non-binary, dyslexic, jewish, body-liberatory therapist, and most importantly, a client. the only thing i ask of the folks i work with is a commitment to show up, and the rest we will figure out together.

They are looking for a therapist who is empathetic, warm, affirming, and inclusive to guide them on their journey of healing. As your therapist, I will work alongside you to build effective tools for managing day-to-day life stressors, healing from your past trauma, and empowering you to move towards a more fulfilling life.  My goal is to help you let go of fear and self-doubt, be kinder and more accepting of yourself, identify and express your needs, develop healthier boundaries, and feel more connected.
