Therapists for college students near 10003

I treat clients who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and transitional issues that cause identity crisis. I also work with Neurodivergent clients including clients who are autistic (ASD). My clients often struggle with their high standards, perfectionism, and wanting to please others. I have a very diverse clientele that includes LGBTQ+, AAPI, Arab Americans, Indian Americans, Pakistani/Bangladeshi Americans, and African Americans. My approach is, we are in this together. I have clients who know why they are seeking therapy, but many clients can’t articulate the specific reason. You don’t need to have a specific reason, but you sought out help because you are ready to address something in your life. I focus on your strengths and skills that can help you address your problems. My approach is to have an open and organic conversation with you while being non judgmental, patient, and actively listening. My clients have said that my interactive style, positive attitude, and humor are reasons they continue to see me. In our initial sessions, we will work to identify the issues you wish to discuss and how they impact your life. I value your perspective and life experience as key components of the therapeutic process. I am always willing to meet with a client for a free consultation via phone or video.

Academic pressure, past trauma, and the pressure to have it together can leave you feeling like you're running on autopilot — going through the motions while different parts of you feel constantly at war. That exhaustion is real, and it doesn't have to be permanent. I use IFS, CBT, DBT, and somatic techniques to get beneath the surface — because stress isn't just in your head, it lives in your body too. We identify the anxious or protective parts keeping you stuck, release what you've been carrying, and build real tools to help you make choices that actually align with who you are. You don't have to wait for a breaking point to ask for support. Reach out today — let's build something that genuinely feels like yours. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Northwell Direct in NY only, and out of network with all other major insurance companies in NY, FL, and AK. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to ensure the process is seamless. I also offer a sliding scale rate for those in need. Please reach out to learn more about how we can make therapy work for you.

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. Feel free to reach out for a consultation – I look forward to our work together!

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!

Have you ever felt stretched thin by the demands of your workload, personal responsibilities, and the pressures that come with navigating a major life transition? I specialize in supporting first-generation, BIPOC, and legacy students who are navigating the challenges of academia. Using a person-centered approach, we will work to strengthen your sense of self beyond academic and professional achievement. My experience supporting individuals in high-stakes environments—ranging from community-based settings to state and city government agencies—has equipped me to work at the intersection of trauma, systemic inequity, and resilience. I often integrate somatic practices to deepen the mind-body connection and take a trauma-informed approach to foster sustainable growth and healing. Reach out for a free 15-minute video consultation. 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. My approach is warm, genuine, and sometimes funny, showing that therapy doesn't have to feel heavy. Reach out for a free 15-minute video consultation! If you're ready to let go of constant pressure and feel lighter, it's time to connect.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with several years of experience providing trauma-informed care and individual therapy. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing begins in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I work with individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and major life transitions. I tailor therapy to each person’s unique story, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to help you reconnect with your values, build coping tools, and move toward meaningful change. Whether you’re working through past trauma, adjusting to new life circumstances, or simply want to feel more grounded and motivated, I’m here to support you in finding balance and self-compassion as you move forward.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. I also work with clients experiencing relationship challenges, grief and loss, trauma, and family-related concerns. My approach is person-centered, creating a safe and supportive space where you feel truly heard. I also use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you build coping skills, manage challenges, and make meaningful changes in your life. I view therapy as a collaborative process—one where your voice, strengths, and goals guide our work together. Whether you’re seeking support through a difficult season of life or striving for long-term growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.

For as long as I can remember, I was the person who pushed through. I was the one who performed, produced, and held everything together even when life was falling apart behind the scenes. As a first-generation Asian American who built a career and became the family anchor long before I felt ready, I know how easy it is to confuse survival mode with strength. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the therapy room: grounded, real, and attuned to the pressures you don’t always say out loud. I work with high-achieving young adults who look fine from the outside but feel exhausted on the inside. Specifically, I work with students who are juggling deadlines, family expectations, identity questions, burnout, loneliness, and the quiet fear that if they slow down, everything might fall apart. My style is steady and collaborative. I help you untangle the pressure, understand what’s actually driving your stress, and build a version of self-trust that doesn’t depend on perfection. You get a space where you can be honest, drop the mask, and finally talk about the things you usually keep to yourself. If you’re a student who’s tired of pretending you “should be fine,” therapy can be a place where you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to hide how overwhelmed you are or figure everything out alone. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again (not the polished version, but the real one), I’d be glad to support you. Reach out today to create a life you can breathe in, not just push through!

Hey there — I’m really glad you’re here. College can be an exciting time, but it can also feel overwhelming, uncertain, or emotionally confusing. Between academic pressure, relationships, identity questions, and figuring out what comes next, it’s easy to feel stretched or stuck. I specialize in supporting first generation college students and BIPOC. My goal is to help you understand what’s going on inside you in a way that actually makes sense — not just label things, but build real transformation and confidence that you can carry forward. I bring a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental approach to therapy, where you’ll be heard and understood — not rushed to “fix” anything but supported in figuring out your own direction. We’ll work together to strengthen your emotional awareness, navigate stress and relationships, and develop tools that help you feel more grounded and connected both in and outside of the classroom. If you’re looking for a space to slow down, unpack what you’re feeling, and build self-trust — I’d be honored to walk with you through that.

At Mindful Mental Health Counseling, I work best with college-aged young adults in New York and New Jersey who feel stuck in cycles of worry, overthinking, or stress that never seems to let up. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety disorders, OCD, perfectionism, or the pressure to succeed academically and socially. You might notice your heart racing, your body tense, or your mind jumping to the worst-case scenario. You may wish you could focus, make decisions without doubt, or just feel calmer. In our work together, you’ll learn practical strategies to manage anxious thoughts, cope with uncertainty, and reduce both the mental and physical impacts of anxiety. My goal is to help you feel more confident, resilient, and able to engage fully in your life, school, and relationships.
