Therapists for college students near New York University

I am a caring and compassionate licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping clients navigate challenging periods in their lives. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, which has given me a broad understanding of diverse needs and life circumstances. I utilize an integrative approach to treatment, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to best support each individual. My areas of specialization include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavior therapy, parent training, client centered therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. I have worked in academia since 2016; I am fully aware of variables that impact well-being and academic performance. I am certified bilingual English-Spanish, and well versed in testing and evaluations.

We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move through life with more self-awareness and confidence.

Hi! I’m Julia Taub, the owner and lead therapist at Julia Taub Therapy. I am a New York-based psychotherapist who specializes in helping high-achieving young women navigate everyday challenges and major life changes. Helping women as they transition into and throughout college is a particular area of focus for me and my practice. We utilize a modern approach to psychotherapy that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic techniques to help clients tap into their inner strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. We work with clients facing a range of concerns, including interpersonal and romantic relationship issues, school stress, career exploration, general dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. We understand how difficult these years can be and what an important outlet therapy can provide to help you live your best life! We look forward to working together!

New View Psychology group consists of a team of experienced professionals who deliver warm and compassionate therapy services. Melissa A. Tillman, Ph.D. founded the practice in 2017 to provide cognitive behavioral and mindfulness treatment to adults and children suffering with social-emotional difficulties.

Our goal is to help clients learn new skills and build upon their strengths. We have developed a specialty providing services to adults and children suffering from mood, anxiety and related concerns. Additionally, working with women’s issues has become a key part of our practice. Specifically, fertility challenges, perinatal mood difficulties, and pregnancy loss.

I graduated from UMass Medical school and was trained in adult psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Prior to going to medical school I received a Masters in Teaching from Boston University and worked as a teacher. This unique background affects my approach to psychiatry. I believe that a good psychiatrist should work with you to help you learn about yourself and your mental health. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), psychodynamic therapy, supportive therapy, and Gottman style couples/relationship therapy. During my time at CHA I worked extensively with the Gender and Sexuality Clinic to serve patients of diverse sexual and gender identities. I also co-lead a group therapy for individuals in polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. I have taught at the American Psychiatric Association’s specialized rotation for HIV Psychiatry, including lectures on how to provide effective telepsychiatry, and I have presented at a national meeting on teaching providers how to better work with patients to prescribe medications. I am a licensed physician in Massachusetts, New York, and California. I offer in person appointments in Somerville, MA as well as secure telehealth appointments to those residing in Massachusetts, New York, and California. In addition to medication management I offer individual and relationship/couples therapy.

We all hit speed bumps in the road we call life. It is okay to require assistance getting over these bumps and back on track. That is what I am here for. I enjoy helping clients who need assistance reaching a healthier emotional life. I always tell my clients: my goal is to get you to the point where you tell me I'm no longer needed in your life. When that time comes, it is very bittersweet; but the goal is for my clients to be on their own and thriving. My specialty includes young adults and adults with depression, anxiety, life changes, relationship concerns, anger, and burnout. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy; specifically rational emotive behavioral therapy. My practice is telepsych, which means you get to see me in the comfort of your own space. We all know that life can be hard and the feeling of "I can't take it anymore" can arise. I provide a safe, non judgmental place for you to open up and become healthier! If it sounds like I am a good fit for you, let me help you get through the difficult times so you can continue to keep moving forward!

Many students I work with are navigating big changes, whether it’s adjusting to college life, managing anxiety or OCD, or trying to find balance in relationships and daily routines. You might feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or worry about not having things “figured out.” In our work together, we’ll create a supportive space to better understand your story, identify what’s been keeping you stuck, and build tools that bring more clarity, confidence, and calm to your daily life. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and that’s okay. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and get a sense of whether we’d be a good fit. When you’re ready, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can best support you.

Congrats! You've made a huge step by contemplating therapy. The next step is to see if there's a match for a good therapeutic alliance.

Finding your path right now may be becoming clearer, or maybe more cloudy, but I can assist through the psychic fog. I use unconditional positive regard for the client while holding space for transformation and change to occur. What life do you remember dreaming of as a kid? What do you already KNOW about yourself that you're unsure of articulating? I want to help You reawaken to your own purpose. Your own power. Book a consultation today!

Are you tired of "reacting" and not feeling good about yourself? Is your past controlling you in the present in ways that aren't serving you? When we are "hijacked" by our past experiences we lose the ability to "choose" how we want to respond. This affects how we feel physically and emotionally; which can make us feel depressed, anxious, shameful. This in turn impacts the quality of our interpersonal relationships. It doesn't have to be that way. I see therapy as a relational and collaborative process that supports wellbeing on mental, physical and spiritual levels. My approach blends several Somatic and Talk based psychotherapies: EMDR, The Trauma Resiliency Model, Internal Family Systems, Gestalt Psychotherapy, Relational, and several, Mindfulness based awareness techniques which include my many years background in the healing effects of yoga. Each person is an embodied being with pleasant an unpleasant experiences embedded in the flesh and bones and tangled in the mind. My therapeutic work with individuals and couples is to process the unpleasant and build resiliency in support of personal transformation.

I approach my work with clients as a collaborative process, with empathy and trust as the most important factors. I find genuine connection to be healing, and I feel fortunate to provide that for clients in supporting them through self exploration and overcoming challenges. I believe anyone can benefit from counseling, whether it’s to sort through past experiences, deal with current struggles, or work towards future goals. Taking an integrative style to therapy, I am able to adjust my approach to the unique needs of each client.

Acceptance can be a powerful experience that shapes who we are. Reflect on a moment when you felt truly accepted and how it impacted your journey. I’m passionate about helping clients of all identities live authentically and build a strong, empowered sense of self. My practice is inclusive of people from all walks of life. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care. You don’t need to educate me about your identity—I meet you where you are and work to honor your lived experience. I provide space that embraces all of who you are—my goal is to provide therapy that feels grounded, relational, and deeply affirming. Therapy with me is collaborative and nonjudgmental. I offer treatment for Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Grief, Life Challenges, Adjustment, Sleep, and many other major challenges people experience.

Are you working through trauma or a difficult life transition? Are you in relationship with a toxic or narcissistic person? Are you facing painful loss? Do you want to use principles of spirituality to strengthen you and answer life's deepest questions? Do you suffer from DID or dissociative disorder? For 30 years, I have guided people toward authentic ways of living and relating. Through many types of treatment, I help people to understand how traumatic life events change us and how to transform thoughts, feelings, and relationships. We focus on real actions you can take to find the power to reverse the effects of pain and trauma. I was educated at Cornell University and the University of Denver's School of Professional Psychology. I interned at the Albert Einstein Medical School and earned a post-doctoral fellowship at the world-renowned Menninger School of Psychiatry. I have highly specialized training in trauma, dissociative disorders and DID, spirituality, and toxic relationships. Many therapists look only at the surface. Instead, I will work deeply with you to see what and who causes you anxiety and depression, grief, sadness, emptiness and fear. We will take a thorough look back to see what and who has made an impact on you, positively and negatively. We will focus on actions to create a way to go forward with success and happiness.

Sometimes we all need a little help. No one has life all figured out. We are all a work in progress. That is especially true of young adults transitioning from high school into college, or from college into the working world. Relationships with parents are changing, romantic relationships may begin or end, friendships change, and we may grow apart from people who we thought we'd be friends with forever. These are challenging times to be alive, and sometimes it's helpful to talk about what you're going through with an objective third party, a therapist, someone to validate your feelings and give honest feedback in a kind, gentle manner. I help my patients learn healthy coping skills and try different strategies to deal with whatever mental health challenges they are facing. With 18 years experience, I'm sure I can find some strategies that will help you too. Please feel free to reach out when you are ready!

This practice aims to provide you with opportunities to heal yourself through taking a holistic approach to mental health care considering your mind, emotions, body and spirit.

I offer the ability to engage conversation regarding anything from test anxiety to the meaning of life. I love working with the college population because they are just finding out who they are and are always thinking critically about themselves and where their talents and abilities fit into this chaotic world. I can help provide guidance to discover what is preventing you from reaching your full potential in both an emotional and intellectual way.

I have extensive experience working with individuals navigating addiction and recovery, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and stress. I also incorporate DBT-informed coping skills—particularly mindfulness—which I’ve found to be powerful tools in both clinical work and everyday life. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you. I typically structure sessions around one or two main areas to help keep our work focused and meaningful. Treatment planning is a collaborative process, and I strive to make sure it aligns with your unique needs and goals. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step is a brave decision. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in a patient-centered approach—working collaboratively to understand your goals, meet you where you are, and support you at your pace. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, I’d be honored to support you. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
