Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Liberation-Based Therapy is a specialized services psychotherapeutic group practice rooted in liberation-based healing. We understand that systemic and structural forces shape our lives, and we meet you with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that healing is communal. We see everyone: with a focus on The People of the Global Majority (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+, Immigrants - anyone that sees themselves at the intersections. Finding the right therapist matters and you deserve to choose someone who feels like a good fit.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) specializing in person-centered therapy, I work with adults (18+) and adolescents who are ready to do meaningful work, wherever they are in their journey. I take a radically empathetic approach to help you navigate anxiety, depression, self-worth challenges, relationship difficulties (both platonic and romantic), and the weight of oppressive systems that can make life feel harder than it should. Whether you're brand new to therapy or well into the process, I'm here to walk alongside you, meeting you exactly where you are and helping you move toward where you want to be. I believe deeply in your capacity to grow, and am passionate about helping you build the skills and self-awareness that allow you to live more authentically. My approach is nonjudgmental, relational, and insight-oriented, creating a space that feels both calm and energizing, where real exploration can happen. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and psychodynamic approaches, I help you develop the tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Because no two people are alike, I tailor my style to fit your unique needs, background, and lived experience. What works for you will always guide how we work together. My path to this work is a personal one. My own experiences with anxiety, and the process of seeking and receiving help, gave me a firsthand understanding of how transformative the right therapeutic relationship can be. That experience opened my eyes to the profound value of feeling truly seen and supported when navigating life's hardest moments. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me lost in a good book, out on my bike, or making time for the people I love. These moments of connection and curiosity keep me grounded, and remind me why balance and joy matter so much in a well-lived life.

Dr. Del Psychotherapy on Park Avenue is committed to serving the New York community. Each clinician brings their years of training and individual life experiences to the work. There is a commitment to developing a safe space where you have the opportunity to figure out who you are. What your needs are and how you get your needs met. Each clinician has an integrated approach to working with people. We appreciate the courage it takes to go towards therapy and we work very hard to be sensitive to each person's unique story.

(For referral email please email jonathanle@lementalhealthcounseling.com) My approach is to work on ways to change your thoughts, ways to be mindful of triggers, stimuli or outside factors that contribute to negative thinking and negative behaviors . I have worked on a vast amount of different concerns such as phobias, anxiety, or depressive symptoms and many other mental health concerns as well. I worked with a numerous people with different backgrounds and mental health concerns and while every client is unique, I was able to work with my clients to meet their goals and improve their mood and thoughts, and I believe I can provide the help and support for you too.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) specializing in anxiety and depression, with a focus on youth and young adults. As a partner in your healing journey, I help you navigate life changes, relationships, and coming-of-age issues, with a steadfast belief in transparency and relationship building. You can always come to me as a friend. I look forward to learning and growing with you together. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with talk therapy and play therapy, all in service of helping you build the tools to live a healthy and happy life. Real-life experience helps me connect with you, creating a space that feels comfortable and familiar. Every patient is unique, and I allow you the space to dissect those experiences. My path to becoming a therapist started with my own mental health journey. Everything I preach, I practice, and would never ask a patient to do anything I would not do myself. Through this approach combined with compassionate and culturally responsive care, I hope to normalize therapy in Black and brown communities. When I’m outside the office, I love photography, playing sports, and sometimes even getting a new tattoo!

You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. You may only know that something feels difficult, that a familiar way of coping is no longer working, or that you want your life or relationships to feel different. In therapy, we work together to understand the thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and experiences shaping your struggles. As a therapist, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I'll help you build practical coping and emotional regulation skills, approach yourself with greater self-compassion, clarify your values, and respond to challenges with more flexibility and intention. The goal is to strengthen self-trust and create changes that feel meaningful, realistic, and sustainable. I believe meaningful change becomes possible when you feel understood enough to be honest and supported enough to try something new, and my role is to be that steady, compassionate, and active partner as you make sense of what you're carrying and recognize the patterns shaping your choices. We can begin where you are and work toward greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change in everyday life. Working with me is warm, collaborative, and active. I create space for you to feel heard while also helping you look honestly at patterns that may be contributing to your distress. In our sessions, I ask thoughtful and sometimes direct questions, offer practical tools, and gently challenge avoidance, self-criticism, black-and-white thinking, or familiar responses that are no longer serving you. Together, we slow down reactions, explore what lies beneath them, and distinguish productive problem-solving from worry or rumination. My approach balances insight with action: we build emotional awareness, strengthen coping and regulation skills, clarify your needs and values, and practice more flexible ways of responding. The goal is not perfection, but greater self-trust and meaningful change. My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by more than two decades of experience across countries, careers, cultures, and life roles. Before entering the mental health field, I worked as a lawyer, filmmaker, nonprofit leader, and mother. Moving through these different identities gave me a deep appreciation for how complex and nonlinear life can be, especially when a relationship, career, identity, or familiar way of living begins to change. These experiences strengthened my commitment to compassionate, culturally responsive care grounded in the realities of each person's life. I bring curiosity, steadiness, and respect for the many parts of each patient's story to my practice now, along with an appreciation for the courage it takes to question familiar patterns and begin again. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing, and exploring how stories help us understand ourselves and one another. I also value time with my family, which helps me slow down, remain curious, and stay connected to what matters most.

Welcome. I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Group Psychotherapist, and EMDR practitioner. My specialties include trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, men's issues, technology addiction, climate-related distress & other existential concerns. My approach is humanistic-existential and trauma-informed, and integrates psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy, CBT, and mindfulness as needed. I am also trained in Attachment-focused EMDR, which is well suited to working with complex trauma. My approach is tailored to each client, and I’ll use all the tools I have to help you feel better and more present in your life. Feel free to request a free phone consultation or ask me any questions you have. I want you to understand the process and feel as much agency as possible. You'll find more details, including fees, on my website. I work in Manhattan on Mondays and in Poughkeepsie the rest of the week, so just let me know which office you're near.

Wellness, and relationships play a vital role in our everyday lives so let's work together to achieve your individual goals and relationship satisfaction. My dedication and passion for guiding clients and supervisees is unmatched as I not only help you survive, but thrive. My treatment and supervision specializations include trauma, anxiety, sex and intimacy, sexual dysfunctions, sexuality exploration, gender diversity, and relationships. My experience in counselor education, counseling supervision, and research supports counselors-in-training seeking personal growth, multicultural competency, and professional development.

Seeking care is a vulnerable experience, particularly during a season of life defined by constant transition. Whether you are navigating the acute pressures of a demanding program, processing a life-changing event, or grappling with an elusive sense of discontent while everyone else seems to have "figured it out," you don’t have to carry that weight in isolation. Much of our suffering derives from inner conflicts between different parts of ourselves: the part that feels driven to achieve versus the part that is profoundly exhausted; the part that seeks independence versus the part that still feels small and uncertain. Often, these tender parts stay hidden beneath the surface of academic rigor and social performance. In the high-pressure environment of college and graduate school, it is easy to feel siloed—locked within your own mind and the deepest, most quiet anxieties of your life. My approach offers you the freedom and flexibility to examine these various facets of yourself. Together, we will work toward a greater self-understanding that allows you to move through your studies and your life with a renewed sense of fulfillment and agency.

Pamela Rice, LMSW, graduated from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. She believes nurturing our emotional well-being allows for more peaceful relationships with ourselves and with others, and helps us to navigate the world more easily and authentically. Whether you are looking to understand and ease symptoms of anxiety, trauma, or depression, or you are interested in improving your mind-body connection, Pamela offers you space, resources, and support for this work.

I specialize in supporting adults navigating OCD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and bipolar disorder. My focus is on understanding the whole person—your experiences, strengths, and challenges—rather than just symptoms. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I adapt my style based on what resonates best with you, whether that means a more structured approach or a more exploratory, insight-oriented conversation. My goal is to empower you with tools and understanding you can carry beyond our sessions. Supporting patients in developing coping skills, accessing resources, and maintaining hope during difficult times inspires me. I am deeply committed to reducing stigma and ensuring that mental healthcare is accessible, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. Outside of work, I like to engage in activities that help me feel relaxed and present. Sometimes that means going for a walk outdoors to clear my mind. Other times, I might read a good book, listen to music, or spend time with friends and family.

Reaching out for help can be hard. We will do our best to provide a safe, supportive environment, when you can feel free to share as much as you need to. We consider therapy to be a collaboration between clinician and patient. Our job is to work with you to help you better understand your inner thoughts and feelings so that you can become the best version of you. We tend to follow patterns of behavior based on our earliest identities. Some of us go through life thinking we are not smart enough, not good looking enough, not capable enough, or not as good as others. It's important to understand that these beliefs are not in fact reality, but an internalized sense of self that we have learned from our earliest experiences. Because of these beliefs, we can often find ourselves repeating unhealthy patterns in relationships, how we deal with stress, social isolation, engaging in unhealthy or risky behaviors, and all manner of acting out in self-destructive ways. Therapy can help re-define who you are, so that instead following these unhealthy patterns, you can make choices that are informed by what you really want, as opposed to what you think you deserve. Therapy is not a quick fix. It takes time and commitment, and it is hard. We are ready to make that commitment with you, and be with you on your journey of self-discovery, so that you can become the author of your own life, rather than letting it be written for you. Please contact us for a free consultation.

We're a Hudson Valley and NYC based practice that provides client-centered individual psychotherapy via tele-health. Our areas of specialization are young adults, life transition, anxiety, depression, harm reduction oriented substance use treatment, and worthiness & perfectionism.

I enjoy working with college students. It is so much wiser to try and get hold of whatever issues you are struggling with earlier in life, rather than later, as problems can repeat themselves and really become entrenched, causing you pain and needless suffering. In addition, opening yourself to another person and focusing on what hurts often takes courage. My college age patients are often dealing with relationship changes, a changing sense of personal identity (sexual or in terms of sense of who I am or who I am becoming), concerns about study pressures or dynamics within friend groups or the dorm. Issues with your family at home can also be bothering you. Whatever your needs, I am comfortable defining exactly what they are, working with you to figure out what you need, and doing my best to get you on your way feeling that you've been helped and you possess the tools to keep going with confidence.

Hello! I work with students who are struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism and self-esteem, procrastination, relationship difficulties, or feeling the impact of past experiences in their daily lives. My style is warm, gentle, and honest, with appropriate humor. I'm happy to provide short-term or long-term therapy depending on your goals. I offer telehealth appointments Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and I'm available for in-person sessions on Thursdays in Midtown Manhattan.

I believe that all of us have had some challenges in our lives whether that translates to bigger traumas or smaller hardships. As a result of our challenges, we have beliefs about who we are and our place in the world. I use evidence-based practices including EMDR to identify and manage triggers that may manifest in fear, anxiety, and negative beliefs about who we are and what we deserve. Let me help you break free from your People-Pleasing, Perfectionist, and/or Procrastinating tendencies and find peace with being your authentic self.

Hi, I’m Dianne. I’m glad you’re here! I’m here to support you to be free from fear and anxiety, align to inner guidance, develop nourishing relationships, and make choices from a place of love, curiosity, and possibility. My intention is that our sessions allow you to feel deeply known, and that through our work you’ll feel more free to be authentic in your life and relationships. Together, we’ll get to know you — your patterns, your strengths, your desires — so you become your own best teacher, with me as a steady support along the way. I hold a Master’s of Social Work from Smith College. I’ve worked with individuals of diverse ages, identities, and backgrounds in community mental health in New York City and in educational settings including San Francisco International High School and Vassar College. I trained in post-abortion counseling with Exhale Pro Voice, and I participated in FemSex, now called GenSex, an anti-oppression workshop for people of all identities about sexuality, gender, consent, and privilege. Before returning to school to train as a therapist, I worked for several years in international women’s rights, food justice, and bilingual education. I draw from psychodynamic, relational, somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches. If you’re struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, or questions of meaning and purpose, let’s talk.

At EveryBody Psychotherapy NYC, we believe everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re navigating body image concerns, identity exploration, trauma, or the challenges of daily life, you don’t have to go through it alone. We offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals seeking healing, connection, and greater self-trust.
