Therapists for college students near New York University

Feeling stuck in a rut? Feeling stressed and overwhelmed? In a safe and supportive environment you will gain insight and learn specific skills so you can get back on track and start living a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in providing compassionate and effective therapy for adolescents and young adults facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning concerns, life transitions, and attachment and relationship issues. With a wealth of experience as a pediatric and adult medical social worker at a leading NYC hospital, I bring expertise in counseling individuals and families dealing with chronic medical conditions, grief, and loss. My unique professional background with individuals across the lifespan has afforded me a practical understanding of psychosocial development and enriched my humanistic approach to care. In my therapy practice, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment that addresses the specific needs of each individual, promoting growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

Being a college student today is HARD. Managing academic stress, navigating relationship dynamics, making big life decisions, coping with financial pressures, and figuring out what comes next is a lot. Maybe you're also feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed. Although it might feel that way, you're not alone. As a therapist, I employ my 13+ years of experience working with diverse groups of adolescents and young adults to make you feel safe, supported, and heard. We'll work together to get to the root of what you're experiencing, so that you can live the fulfilling life you deserve. I provide convenient, flexible telemental health services, which means you can get the support you need while being comfortable in your own space.

Counseling is not just about mental health without considering physical, social, and spiritual health. It’s all connected. We provide an integrative and team approach to meet our clients where they are and help them become the best adult versions of themselves, for themselves and for others. You’re here because you know that life can be better. We know it takes a while to decide to come to counseling. No matter what that final thing was that made you come here, we want to help.

Psychotherapy is a profoundly personal and individualized process. It can foster a deeper understanding of self and others, promote healing and resilience, increase coping skills, change behaviors, instill hope, create meaning, and help individuals live their lives in more emotionally honest, authentic, and relationally connected ways. At the heart of the therapeutic process is a collaborative working relationship between therapist and client, and the best outcomes are achieved when there is a feeling of connection and understanding between the two. Continually attending to the fit between therapist and client is important in establishing a relationship that has the strength and ability to explore difficult experiences and the impact of those experiences on clients’ lives. Dr. Kapadia approaches the work with both curiosity and compassion, tailoring the treatment to the individual and using an integrative approach to meet each person’s needs. She draws from a variety of therapeutic orientations, including interpersonal, psychodynamic, family systems, and affect regulation models (cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies).

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Group Psychotherapist with over 12 years experience providing individual, group, and family therapy. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, relationships, decision-making, work/school achievement, and/or making behavioral changes.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with lived experience as a BIPOC individual, I understand the unique challenges and pressures faced by college students from marginalized communities. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and empowerment. I provide a safe and affirming space for students to explore their identities, navigate academic pressures, and build resilience. Together, we can work through challenges related to mental health, identity development, and acculturation. My goal is to equip you with the tools and support needed to thrive in college and beyond. Hablo Espanol! Como Trabajadora Social Latina comprendo los desafíos y presiones únicos que enfrentan los estudiantes universitarios de comunidades marginadas. Mi enfoque terapéutico se basa en la empatía, la sensibilidad cultural y el empoderamiento. Proporciono un espacio seguro y afirmativo para que los estudiantes exploren sus identidades, naveguen las presiones académicas y construyan resiliencia. Juntos, podemos trabajar en desafíos relacionados con la salud mental, el desarrollo de identidad y la aculturación. Mi objetivo es equiparte con las herramientas y el apoyo necesarios para prosperar en la universidad y más allá.

ADHD is more than just "having difficulty focusing," and no, not "everyone has a little bit of ADHD" as many people claim nowadays. The impact of ADHD is pervasive and can keep you from reaching your goals, connecting with others, maintaining a routine despite knowing that it would be helpful, and constantly "masking" for fear that you will not be accepted as you are. Life administrative tasks feel daunting and get postponed repeatedly, and the negative self-talk that ensues as a result takes a further toll and increases avoidance. I can help you understand the brain science of ADHD, incorporate aspects of mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities to overcome these challenges, and regain your mental energy. You'll learn to work with your neurodivergence, NOT against it. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, lens and am mindful about how culture, immigration journeys and systemic racism play a role in how someone compensates for their ADHD.

Hi, I’m Reeti Kumar, and yes, therapy really can make life feel lighter. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy in Rhode Island, New York, and Connecticut. I help people get back to living the kind of life they actually want — not just the one they’re pushing through. I love working with college & grad students who are motivated to make changes but maybe feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in a loop of overthinking (hi, anxiety and perfectionism). In our sessions, you’ll find a mix of evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, (because science works!) and down-to-earth conversations (because we’re both human). I also treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention - the gold standard to help you say "No way" to those compulsions making you late to class! I bring in a multicultural lens, helping clients explore their identities, navigate family dynamics, and find balance between culture and expectations. I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can say what’s really on your mind (yes, even the “weird” thoughts — we all have them). Together, we’ll work on untangling unhelpful thinking patterns and building habits that support a calmer, healthier life.
