Therapists for college students near 10003

I offer a calm nonjudgmental space where clients show up as they are. I use an integrative approach that emphasizes each client’s individuality rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method. Together, we'll explore past experiences and patterns to better understand what’s showing up in the present and create meaningful change in everyday life. I value being real, practical, and collaborative in the work we do. I am experienced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, eating disorder treatment, and group therapy. My experience allows me to support clients in navigating complex emotions, building resilience, and fostering healthier relationships with themselves and others. I am dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative space where growth and healing can take place. "Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are." - Brent Brown

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, with an emphasis on existential, narrative and somatic techniques. My main tool is my curiosity about my clients’ inner lives - by working to understand my client’s motivations and boundaries, I help them gain clarity about their emotions and behavior. I use a person-centered and solution-focused lens to help clients find space for healing and change. I am a queer identifying therapist and a third generation Holocaust survivor. I have experience helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavement, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My background in birthwork and psychedelic crisis counseling has led me to prioritize trust and consent in the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help clients construct lives that they find fulfilling and meaningful. Being human is hard - fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. My job is to help you find joy, integrity, meaning, and peace in the journey.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach, meeting each person where they are. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported and empowered to explore their experiences, build insight, and grow. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and work toward meaningful, sustainable change at your own pace. I have a background in mental health counseling, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and sports psychology. I’ve supported individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, life transitions, self-esteem, and performance enhancement. I’m passionate about helping people build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and create lasting change through a supportive, client-centered approach. Driven by compassion and curiosity, I strive to create meaningful impact through connection, creativity, and care. I believe in showing up authentically and helping others feel seen, heard, and valued.

Therapy invites room for reflection, healing, and personal growth. Creating a warm and steady space allows clients to explore their thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace. My style balances honesty with compassion, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered work. Trauma-informed care and psychoeducation are woven in to support clients in developing insight and meaningful change. More than two decades in school counseling and additional clinical experience have shaped my work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families from varied cultural and neurodivergent backgrounds. I often support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. When working with couples, Gottman-informed strategies guide communication, emotional awareness, and stronger relational foundations. “You do not just wake up and become the butterfly - growth is a process.” ― Rupi Kaur

I adopt integrative modalities, primarily CBT and EFIT, to meet individual needs. I am passionate about working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I create a warm, inclusive, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, accepted, and understood. Lastly, I am convinced the therapeutic alliance is key to optimal treatment and client's growth. I have experiences of working with kids and young adults from diverse backgrounds in community settings, research labs, as well as private practice. I specialize in helping emerging adults and BIPOC populations with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. My trainings in CBT, DBT, and EFIT allow me to tailor my work to each individual’s needs, and I see the world from a multicultural lens. Therapy is like a journey to explore ourselves. Thank you for coming and staying with yourself, and I am here to support.

Born and raised in New York and coming from Latino roots, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can show up as you are—no shame, no judgment. Mental health can carry stigma in many underrepresented communities, and I’m here to help change that using my eclectic approach. I tailor therapy to your unique story, walking with you through it all—with respect, care, and authenticity. Coming from a private practice, I aim to make sessions a safe therapeutic space. My work is grounded in providing empathy and evidence-based practices, with a deep commitment to helping clients heal, grow, and thrive. I’ve previously worked with clients focusing in areas such as anxiety, depression, relational issues, adjustment disorders, emotional regulation, and life transitions. "Grow Through What You Go Through"

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from ACT, CBT, EMDR, and psychodynamic frameworks. I aim to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and genuinely human—one that welcomes empathy, humor, and honest reflection. Through collaboration, we work toward deeper self-understanding, healing, and meaningful change while honoring your pace, values, strengths, and goals throughout the therapeutic process with care. With experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and body image concerns. My work is guided by the belief that healing begins with understanding and connection. Through an integrative, client-centered lens, I help clients uncover resilience, build coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” — Carl Rogers

I honor the complexity and uniqueness of each person. In our work together, I will help you understand yourself and uncover your inherent strength and worth. Informed by my own complex cultural background, I value nurturing multiple identities and telling your story in a way that feels empowering. Rooted in person-centered therapy, my approach weaves in psychodynamic, narrative, and behavioral perspectives, complemented by mindfulness practices. I have extensive experience working with clients navigating substance use, as well as depression, anxiety, and trauma that often accompany it. I also focus on helping clients manage life transitions and identity shifts, such as becoming a parent, immigrating, or experiencing loss. I bring my own identities as an immigrant and a mother into the room and welcome clients adjusting to a new reality. “The past exists for each of us only as we constitute it in the present against the horizon of the future”. Irvin Yalom & Molyn Leszcz.

I am dedicated to creating a safe therapeutic space where clients feel safe to be vulnerable and authentic. With warmth and empathy, I act as a guide in each client’s journey to pursuing a present and fulfilling life. I tailor my approach individually, integrating feminist theory, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). With a background in dance, I believe that our minds and bodies are connected and feel passionate about incorporating somatic principles into my work. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent individuals and have experience with clients navigating life transitions, early childhood trauma, and creating healthy boundaries. "No matter whom you are, or what you do, the ground is always shaky. And, the really good news is that shaky ground is fertile ground for spiritual growth and awakening." -Pema Chodron

I believe that the heart of therapy lies in the connection we build together. When you work with me, I take the time to understand your history, cultural background, and the key moments that have shaped you. Together, we’ll create sessions filled with support, laughter, and reflection, empowering you to create a life that reflects your truest self. I've always had an innate interest in deeply understanding people. My diverse experience spans private practices, suicide hotlines, inpatient hospitals, and schools, which has allowed me to work with a wide range of populations. These experiences have only deepened my dedication to delivering trauma-informed and thoughtfully tailored care. Your journey starts here—because sometimes talking to your cat just isn’t enough.

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re navigating something challenging—anxiety that won’t quiet down, relationship patterns that aren’t serving you, overwhelming emotions or depressive symptoms that make it difficult to experience joy and connection. Whether you’re facing a life transition, feeling stuck in your relationships, managing trauma, or simply seeking greater clarity and connection in your life, you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy is a place to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what's been weighing on you.

I help my clients escape the noise, integrate their healing, and reclaim the clarity they need to lead their lives.

My expertise also includes helping young adults and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, family of origin challenges, relationship issues, perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, life and career transitions, women’s issues, grief and loss, sports performance/mental health of athletes and self-esteem and empowerment.
