Therapists for college students near 10003
I help people feel better and improve their lives with music psychotherapy. If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, addiction or everyday stress with relationships, work or family. If you want a fluid and creative approach to therapy that helps you go deep to the core of your issues, I can help. I am particularly passionate about working with those who identify as LGBTQIA+, especially trans and GNC folx. In a world full of stigma, with so much pressure to conform to a heteronormative society, being trans or GNC can be an isolating and scary experience. I can help you on your journey to become your true self.
My name is Savi and I’m a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. I have a particular interest in working with students as much of my clinical experience is in working with people in their teens and early 20’s who are going through the big life changes that happen at these times. There is so much to navigate during this time in life with academic demands, becoming more independent from our families, and starting new relationships. There are many reasons we are drawn to start therapy, but I find it is often because we are struggling with difficult feelings related to these things that we may not understand and don’t know how to get rid of. I think it’s important that you have a safe place to talk about these feelings and for us to begin to understand what is underneath them.
Navigating the student journey can be quite a rollercoaster. As someone who's been in your shoes, I understand the highs, the lows, and everything in between. From juggling coursework, navigating social pressures, managing anxiety, and finding your footing in the career landscape, it's no small feat. But here's the thing – you don't have to do this all by yourself. I'm here to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, and a personalized approach to tackle the challenges you're facing. Whether it's anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the transition, together, we can navigate these hurdles and carve out a path toward your personal and academic success. Your well-being and your future matter, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Reach out and let's get started.

You might be someone who’s always striving—high-achieving on the outside, yet still feeling like it’s never enough. Or you may be carrying past experiences that continue to hurt, or navigating the tension between cultures, family expectations, and societal pressures. Whatever brings you here, we can explore your story together and move toward your unique path of healing. I work with women and Asian immigrants who have experienced trauma, as well as clients navigating generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. I also help people manage challenges like depression and navigating life transitions. In our sessions, you’ll have space to look at what healing means to you, why certain pains linger, how they show up, and how we might begin to rise above them or make peace with them. If this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Send an inquiry today and start your therapy journey. Sessions are available via telehealth or in-person. Evening sessions are also available. Please inquire for further information on available appointment times.
Are you frustrated by how anxious thoughts take over your mind? Have you noticed when this happens and the cost that comes with it? Do you find yourself overthinking situations in your romantic or familial relationships? Does this impede your ability to honestly identify your needs and speak up for them? It can be frustrating and anxiety-inducing to step out of your comfort zone and stand up to unwanted emotions, but the life you want to live is waiting for you, and together as a team we can tackle these issues! I practice through a psychodynamic lens often honing in on your strengths and helping with solution-oriented approaches. I am a strong believer in the power of mindfulness and breathwork. I provide a warm, safe and nurturing space for you to uncover what may be holding you back from connecting with yourself and your needs. I help clients express their feelings and fears in order to work through them so that they can enjoy a place of higher self-esteem, authenticity, and abundance. I am passionate about working with adolescents and young adults who are motivated to do the courageous inner work to shift from a place of anxiety and suffering to greater certainty and joy.

Life is so often filled with stressors, unexpected obstacles, and struggles. We believe that everyone has the power to make great things happen and to grow, heal, and thrive. We are dedicated to providing a caring, nonjudgmental space where you can feel open to sharing vulnerabilities and telling your unique stories. Our therapists seek to help you recognize and build upon your strengths and resiliency to make the changes that matter most to you, to heal from past hurts, and to create greater happiness and fulfillment. We know that change often feels deeply overwhelming and scary, so having someone truly and consistently there for you can make the world of a difference. We meet every client– individuals, couples, and families– where they are, with genuine respect and compassion. Everyone can benefit from support and guidance, and for us, therapy is most effective when grounded in understanding, authenticity, and collaboration that enhance motivation. Our clients come to us with a wide variety of challenges and struggles, past and present. Issues in one area of life inherently and inevitably trickle into others. Together we will seek to more deeply understand the problem and its roots so that feeling of being stuck dissipates and you feel empowered and inspired. We work from a strengths-based, humanistic, holistic lens and incorporate different approaches to support your unique needs and aspirations. Our therapists incorporate individualized treatment approaches including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, relational, as well as trauma-focused, strengths, and attachment-based therapies.

Jiayi “Shao” Shao is a bilingual therapist with an international and multicultural background. She pursued her Masters in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University. Having grown up in China, she believes in Tao, or the Way — the healing power that emerges as one learns to navigate the continuous flow of life with space and fluidity. She believes that fostering awareness and delving into various feelings, emotions, and sensations can assist individuals in resolving blockages that hinder a sense of freedom, ease, and deeper meaning in life. Passionate about the process of healing, growth, and rediscovery of self, Shao celebrates the courage of each and every individual choosing their own path. Acknowledging her intersectional identities as a person of color and a queer individual, Shao is passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. She utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy which includes psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR techniques. Her background as a Zen Buddhist and experience in improvisation theatre inspire a uniquely creative use of imagery, somatic work, metaphoric associations, and dream interpretation. She strives to create a warm, empathic, and reflective space that welcomes deeper questions, aiding individuals in reconnecting with their most authentic selves.

Hi! My name is Alicia, and I want to meet you. Yes, you! College can be intense. You're away from home with the pressure to succeed and do well, but there's also dealing with roommates, parties, and being around people who resemble aliens. You know, they just don't get you and you've never encountered anyone quite like them before. On top of this, you may be the first in your family to go to college. You can't admit to them that it's hard. They had all their hopes and dreams riding on you. So where to go? Come to therapy! Yes, therapy. It may be your first time talking to someone, but I promise it helps to tell someone what you're thinking and what you're feeling. College doesn't have to be scary, and you don't have to go through it alone. We can figure it out together. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with many college students, especially those who identify as first-gen and/or veterans. Therapy with me is conversational. In sessions, you can speak freely. I'm not into judging. That would probably make me a lousy therapist. I offer thoughtful reflection and point out patterns in your behavior that may not be the most helpful, and then we problem-solve and strategize solutions to help get you feeling better. I can also teach you skills to help when your emotions feel overwhelming.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotions that are difficult to understand or express? Do you sometimes find yourself reacting in ways that feel unfamiliar, confusing, or even unsettling? You're not alone—and therapy can help. I offer a safe, supportive space for healing through a blend of Psychodynamic talk therapy and Art therapy, with my approach informed by DBT, CBT, and IFS. I believe in working collaboratively, honoring the pace of deep healing, and empowering your choices throughout the therapeutic process. My goal is to help you move from a place of survival toward resilience, self-understanding, and a sense of possibility.
My practice focuses on helping people who want to get to know themselves better and change repetitive life patterns to improve their personal and academic lives. Many of the students, faculty, and administrators I work with have had anxiety, ADHD, or a history of trauma or loss that they need help working through in order to achieve at their optimal level and enjoy life more. I try to create a peaceful office environment in which to explore yourself and learn techniques for managing life better, inside and out. I believe the therapy relationship itself is important to experience so that you can connect with yourself in a different way. Growth comes from curiosity and freedom to express yourself in an empathetic, engaging, and knowledgeable setting. I invite you to visit my website for more detailed information.
