Therapists for college students near New York University

Hey, man. Your friends, family, or your partner aren't supposed to be your therapist. You need an outlet where you can be vulnerable, speak freely, and unburden yourself without any fear of backlash that could damage the relationship. You want a return on investment of the time, money, and energy that you put into therapy because that's what matters most. You need a therapist who gets you because you deserve to build a life worth living. This relationship needs to feel right, and you want a therapist who can join you through the truth, tell you like it is, and help you find the best tools for your toolbox. Usually, clients connect with me because of challenges connected to men's issues, grief & loss, emotion regulation, relationship issues, and life transitions through pregnancy and postpartum.

Let’s be real. Life is hard. It is messy and crazy and sometimes, it just feels out of control. Your space is a mess, your roommates are on your last nerve, you have a major assignment to work on, and you just cannot get a moment to think straight. Then there’s that thought in the background that you’re not doing enough, that you’re not enough. You’re questioning yourself and feeling overwhelmed. College is hard. This phase of life is hard. Feeling the pressure to succeed can feel unbearable. This is where therapy comes in. To learn how to address these thoughts & emotions in a safe space and develop a plan of action to move forward, feeling confident in yourself.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I take a trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy. I understand that trauma can shape the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world—and that healing requires both safety and choice. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore a sense of control, and create space for growth that feels steady and empowering.I work from a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing safety, trust, empowerment, and emotional regulation in every session. I move at your pace and always respect your autonomy. Together, we’ll explore your experiences gently and intentionally, focusing on how trauma impacts your mind, body, and daily life. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process traumatic memories in a way that reduces emotional distress and shifts long-held beliefs. EMDR can be especially effective for individuals who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed by past events, or disconnected from their sense of self. I also integrate CBT, mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and strengths-based approaches—always tailoring the work to what feels most supportive for you.Your first session is a calm, low-pressure space to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask gentle questions about your goals, your history, and what you need to feel safe and supported. We’ll talk about what trauma-informed therapy looks like and, if you’re interested, I’ll explain how EMDR works and whether it may be a good fit—though we won’t begin EMDR on day one. You can expect a collaborative, compassionate conversation where you set the pace. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and clear about our next steps.

We all can struggle with life transitions, among those are entering college and graduating. We also want a thriving life but can struggle with depressive thoughts, anxious thinking, grief or finding a sense of purpose. I aim to work with you to identify what gets in the way of a more fulfilling life and then to work together to figure out ways to better relate to difficult internal thoughts and feelings and external circumstances. I'm a collaborative therapist who knows that you are the expert when it comes ... to you. I want to serve as a guide. I like to have a bit of a sense of humor and encourage with an emphasis on finding your strengths and what matters most to you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've had the pleasure of providing therapy since 2018. I have over a decade of experience working with a range of populations from young adults to geriatrics. I support people through a variety of issues including tackling depression, anxiety and major life transitions. I prioritize human connection and feel that is strengthened when we are able to be our authentic selves. I utilize a person-centered approach to therapy. Your pace is my pace. I can provide you with strategies and coping skills to manage your symptoms in a non-judgmental space. I offer a warm and welcoming environment for open conversations, while also holding you accountable to your goals. During our first session together, you will have the opportunity to share about yourself and your goals for therapy. If this is something you are unsure of, we can figure that out together. Therapy doesn't have to be so scary. I aim for you to feel comfortable, heard and empowered. I enjoy helping people thrive and be the best versions of themselves. Humor is incorporated in much of what I do. When all else fails, we will find ways to laugh together!
