Rebecca Vandermark
Hello! Being a college student can be difficult, I’ve been there, and I can help you throughout this process and even beyond. Therapy, like college, is a journey that begins with a single step. Therapy does not have to focus on one area, the joy of this is that we can work on whatever it is that you want. I will push you when needed, laugh with you, and most importantly, meet you where you are in your process. Take the first step for therapy today by reaching out to set up a free consultation.

My theory is that a combination of a deeper understanding of self, coupled with practical skills, can lead to desired personality change, sustained self-discovery and curiosity, and relief. I utilize a modern relational and collaborative approach along with CBT skills, psychodynamic theory, and a host of trauma-informed practices. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle to regulate emotions and mood, are experiencing interpersonal issues, existential dread, anxiety, depression, chronic suicidality, and/or have experienced childhood trauma. I provide ongoing individual psychotherapy for ages 18+. Additionally, I have valued experience working with Trans folks, BIPOC, LGBTQ folks, and polyamorous folks. I have extensive training in CBT-based therapies, a variety of evidence-based practices, and modern psychodynamic psychotherapy. My previous work experiences include Bellevue Hospital Center, New York University, and City University NY in New York City.

Jonna Revitz
College can be exciting, but it can also bring a lot of stress, pressure, and big transitions. Whether you're struggling with your mental health, navigating friendships or family dynamics, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you're headed, therapy can help. I’m an experienced therapist who works with college students and young adults in a supportive, non-judgmental space. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness tools, and insight-oriented work to help you build self-awareness, manage stress, improve relationships, and feel more confident in yourself. I also have specialized training in working with trauma and chronic stress, and I help clients make sense of the past so they can feel better in the present and create a meaningful path forward. I've worked with individuals from many different backgrounds, and I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. If you're thinking about therapy—or even if you're not sure—reach out for a free phone consultation. We can talk about what’s going on and see if we’re a good fit.
Hannah Kim
My approach is to try to respond to the unique needs of each client. We all need a place where we can be ourselves and find meaning and healing. I will work with you to explore life's challenges and find insight and acceptance. I generally work best with clients who are looking for personal growth and better self care and life balance. I also provide life coaching and work with those who are going through transitional periods or want to explore spirituality. I have particular interest in philosophy, Buddhism and mindfulness and the creative arts and offer lessons in healing through art and sketch-booking.
Mind Field Therapy
You’re used to handling things. You’ve figured out how to succeed, meet deadlines, and show up for others — but lately it feels harder. Maybe anxiety is louder, your mood dips more often, or relationships feel strained. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Therapy can help you build steadiness, clarity, and more intentional choices in the middle of a demanding season. At Mind Field Therapy, I work with college students navigating anxiety, depression, identity shifts, relationship stress, and the impact of difficult life events or past trauma. I’ll absolutely ask how you’re feeling — and we’ll go deeper than that. I’m direct, grounded, and occasionally use humor when it helps us loosen anxiety’s grip. The goal isn’t endless venting; it’s understanding what’s driving the patterns and building tools you can actually use.

Harita Koya
I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing a multitude of challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, disability/chronic illness, identity exploration, and challenges with self-esteem. This can include family/relationship issues, life transitions (including college/early adulthood), or identity formation. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, especially women with ADHD. Supporting LGBTQ+ mental health from an intersectional lens is another focus. I also have an interest in working with clients who are exploring immigrant experience, family dynamics, and generational trauma. I previously worked in college counseling (at Wellesley College) and residential life (at Harvard College), so I'm well-attuned to the specific experiences and challenges of college student life! As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I believe that our experiences are shaped by our relationships with ourselves, other people, and the world at large. My work is informed by feminist, queer, disability, and critical race theory. I also integrate narrative therapy, which allows us to reimagine the stories we tell about ourselves and our lives. I am deeply attentive to how identity and marginalization can impact one's experiences and movement through the world. In my work, I strive for a trauma-informed, culturally-sensitive, and socially just practice. I meet clients with curiosity, warmth, and nuance to explore their experiences, relationships, and challenges. My goal is to co-create a welcoming and supportive space in which clients can tell/retell their stories, appreciate their strengths, and work towards their goals

Melissa Crecca
In my years of experience I have come to realize so much about living in the world robs us of our ability to acknowledge our own magic. Therapy should be a safe place for you to begin to reclaim that magic and learn how to discover your own power. By using a "bottom to top" approach to identify how long held, negative beliefs, have kept you reliving and repeating the past, you can finally live in the present. I provide a safe, non judgemental space for you to work through trauma and reclaim the power inherent in you.
MJ Danis Therapy
Loss is a quiet grief that doesn't conform to the world's pace, especially when we need stillness as well as acknowledgment. Whether your loss involves a companion animal, a relationship, a career path, or a life that looks OK to others but feels hollow to you, your circumstances deserve to be honored and processed with care. For many years, I have been drawn to working with people who carry more than they can say out loud. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician, where I sat with families as they navigated some of their toughest moments. Those experiences, as well as my own, inspired me to become a therapist and have informed and shaped how I understand deep pain. I employ a variety of professional modalities, along with humor and a touch of sharp wit, when working with clients, centering them as they move forward with their lives. Grief is not a problem to solve, regardless of the type of loss you're experiencing, what others say, or what hustle culture expects from you.
