Therapists for college students near Boston, MA

You find yourself stuck in cycles of overhwelm and numbness. Your anxiety is increasing. You've experienced loss or trauma. Maybe you spend hours scrolling, avoiding painful emotions. You crave a life of connection - whether that is with yourself, others, or the world around you. Who I am: I am an experienced mental health therapist with a master’s degree from the University of Chicago. I have a passion for helping people overcome anxiety, navigate life transitions, heal from trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships. Who you are: I love working with all types of clients, but I most often find myself working with people who struggle with perfectionism, people pleasing, boundaries, and healing from complex relational trauma. My therapeutic style: I strive to be real and relatable - the type of person who can see the complexity and nuance of life. What therapy with me looks like: My approach helps people identify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, most commonly associated with feelings of depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict, and provides people with tangible skills that enable you to think and behave in ways that promote inner confidence, strength, and achievement of goals.

You are 20 and you have already cried in three different bathrooms this semester. The friend group from freshman year quietly disappeared. The situationship is in its eighth round of "we are figuring it out." The professor who said your paper was "interesting" in a tone that meant something else has been living in your head for two weeks. You are tired in a way that sleep does not fix. I work with college aged women and young adults who are doing everything they were told to do and somehow feel further from themselves than they have ever been. The girls who got into college on perfectionism and are now watching that same perfectionism eat them alive. The ones who left a religious or controlling home and are realizing, in real time, what it actually cost them. The ones whose body image got worse, not better, when they got here. The ones who keep ending up in the same kind of relationship with a different person and cannot figure out why. The ones who looked around the dining hall and realized everyone else seems to have a friend group already and felt something crack a little. I do EMDR for trauma, which is the work I love most. It is especially useful when something specific from your past keeps showing up uninvited in your present. The breakup that should not still hurt this much. The thing that happened in high school you have never really told anyone. The childhood version of you who learned to make herself small and is still doing it. We can also just talk. My process is flexible and so am I. Some sessions are heavy. Some sessions you tell me about your week and we laugh. Both are doing real work. I am licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, and Massachusetts. If you are at school in one and home for the summer in another, we can keep going without starting over with someone new.

Starting college and figuring out life as a young adult can feel exciting but also overwhelming! I’m a psychotherapist on the Upper East Side who works with college students navigating stress, relationships, academics, and life transitions. As a former college athlete, I support many student-athletes balancing the pressures both off and on the field. My approach is based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), where we work together to shift unhelpful thought patterns and build specific skills that help you reach your goals. If you’re curious about therapy, reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation, I’d love to connect.

College can be a naturally high stress period during your life. I’m here to help. With a career spanning business and higher education administration, I am equipped to support students as they navigate this critical transition period in their life. Providing guidance and support for students in highly competitive and high-pressure environments is a cornerstone of my experience as a master's program coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution. For many, college is less of an exciting journey and more of an overwhelming burden. As an Asian American, LGBTQ+ therapist, I am passionate about addressing the unique cultural and intergenerational dynamics that can shape your mental health experiences. My therapeutic style is client-forward and we’ll work together to identify, understand, and alleviate the pressure points in your life.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who works with young people to understand and disrupt unhelpful patterns, better cope with challenging situations and discover greater ease, self-acceptance and healthy expression. I am committed to serving students in all content areas to navigate pressure, the pursuit of excellence and transition to career. It is important to me that LGBTQ+ people feel safe in the therapeutic space. I often help clients navigate grief, complex trauma or anxiety and I offer unique therapeutic perspectives when supporting those processing childhood rejection, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, university stress, or careers in the arts. My clinical practice is informed and enriched by my career as a professor, director, and administrator in the performing arts. I have directed or taught theatre courses at some of the most well-regarded theatre programs in the country, including Juilliard, Yale School of Drama, and NYU TISCH School of the Arts. As a therapist, I create a space for you to bring your whole self, feel safe, respected and understood as well as learn new skills and take on new perspectives. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy, instead I tailor therapy to your individual needs. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, relational, and trauma-informed strategies, while also integrating expressive arts and movement or somatic lenses when useful. And I always offer a steady and reliable presence. Clients who work with me gain a more accurate understanding of what is really going on for them, and make positive changes in their thoughts, assessments and actions, resulting in greater satisfaction and functioning in their lives. I’m honored to support you in your therapeutic journey!

My work is grounded in the belief that trust is the foundation for healing and growth. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore who you are, understand what’s getting in the way of the life you want, and learn tools to support meaningful change. Growth can be uncomfortable, but it’s also an opportunity to rediscover yourself—and you don’t have to do it alone. In my practice, I support clients navigating neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), racial and cultural identity, sexual health, problematic porn use, and challenges with executive functioning. Together, we work on building awareness, creating systems that support your unique needs, and developing skills to foster balance and connection in your life. My background spans clinical practice, advocacy, and policy. I’ve had the privilege of serving communities both locally and internationally including work in Mexico and Ghana, and serving as Director of Health Policy and Advocacy at a healthcare advocacy organization focused on Latino communities. These experiences have shaped my commitment to equity, inclusion, and cultural humility. Whether you’re exploring your identity, working through relationship challenges, or learning to create healthier habits and boundaries, I’m here to support you in finding yourself and building meaningful relationships both with others and with yourself that will help you thrive!

Wherever you are in the journey, I look forward to supporting you!

College life is an ongoing balancing act that can feel overwhelming, swinging quickly between success (acing an exam) and total collapse (stress from classes, relationships, and the future). If you're experiencing stress, anxiety, or burnout that makes it hard to focus, connect with others, or feel like yourself, you're not alone. Therapy offers a judgment-free, low-pressure space to sort through the noise, hit pause, and figure things out so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

At our practice, we recognize that emerging adulthood represents a critical period of identity formation and personal growth. This stage—often marked by exploration, instability, self-focus, and a feeling of being “in between”—is both exciting and challenging.

We help clients focus on their own development, goals, and emotional well-being, using evidence-based interventions tailored to the unique challenges of this life stage. Whether you are exploring career paths, building relationships, managing mental health symptoms, or simply seeking clarity about your direction, we can hold space for you to pause, reflect, and grow.
