Therapists for college students near 10003
Let’s be real. Life is hard. It is messy and crazy and sometimes, it just feels out of control. Your space is a mess, your roommates are on your last nerve, you have a major assignment to work on, and you just cannot get a moment to think straight. Then there’s that thought in the background that you’re not doing enough, that you’re not enough. You’re questioning yourself and feeling overwhelmed. College is hard. This phase of life is hard. Feeling the pressure to succeed can feel unbearable. This is where therapy comes in. To learn how to address these thoughts & emotions in a safe space and develop a plan of action to move forward, feeling confident in yourself.
Connection is healing, and change happens when trust exists. My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I work to cultivate a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance, empathy, and respect. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, and my therapeutic approach is strength-based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that conform to the individualized needs of my clients. I draw from mindfulness-based approaches while incorporating cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused techniques. I will tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have over 20 years of experience working as a mental health counselor in various settings, including community-based agencies, public schools, and higher education. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, adjustment issues, and recovery from trauma. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I applaud your willingness to take those next steps! If you are ready, I am here to support and empower you.
I am a New York state licensed clinical psychologist, supervisor, and doctoral professor. I work with individual adults and couples experiencing distress due to fluctuations in mood, changing life circumstances, difficult relationships, and uncertain identity. Given my own multicultural identity, I approach every patient with compassion and curiosity for their experiences, encouraging those I work with to practice the same. I find that the most successful therapy is a result of healthy collaboration, trust, and creating a safe space to do the work. Let’s do this.

I help people understand themselves, not just manage symptoms. If you're ready to look at patterns, relationships, and what keeps you stuck, this work is for you. One of my specialties is psychoanalytic dream interpretation: I've worked extensively with dreams in treatment and have seen how dreams foster insight, emotional depth, and lasting change.
I have worked with college and graduate students for many years. Many have struggled with issues including low self esteem, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, learning disabilities, family conflict and socialization difficulties. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques ranging from traditional “talk” therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR, as needed. My primary goal is always to help the student to feel better, by gaining greater insight and understanding as to better ways to address their situation.

I enjoy helping clients feel empowered and more satisfied both individually and in relationships. I tailor my approach to your specific needs and unique circumstances. Emotional pain can make you dread going to sleep, waking up, eating and even interacting with loved ones. It can disconnect you from your joy. If you’ve had a life event that shakes you to the core can feel incredibly isolating. But major losses in life also open doors to big transformations.
Through the stress of everyday life, so many of us have learned to put our needs aside. Often, we ignore them in the service of others, overwhelm, or simply not knowing how to nurture ourselves. I help clients to develop insight around why they may do this and address the root cause of the problem for healing that lasts. It is my honor and privilege to join you on this journey.
You are not broken — you are human. And being human means facing change, pressure, and uncertainty — things that can feel especially heavy during college. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, questioning who you are or what’s next, or trying to balance school, family, and your own expectations. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin again — with support and intention. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, understanding space where you can show up just as you are — no need to have it all together. My role isn’t to fix you, but to walk beside you. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, reconnect you with your strengths, and find new ways forward that feel true to who you are. Every student’s story is different. That’s why I don’t believe in one “right” way to do therapy. Our work will be shaped by your needs, your culture, and your goals. Whether you’re coping with stress, adjusting to college life, dealing with family or relationship challenges, or trying to rediscover your sense of purpose, we’ll move at your pace. A big part of our work will be exploring three things: WHY – Why are you seeking change? PURPOSE – What gives your life meaning? PRIORITIES – What matters most to you right now? When we understand your why, purpose, and priorities, therapy becomes more than just talking — it becomes growth. Wherever you are in your process, you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you as you find your way forward.
I’m Tiffany, and I’m genuinely excited to meet you. I specialize in supporting individuals through anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and depression. My approach is all about creating a warm, empathetic space where you can explore your experiences and work towards meaningful change at your pace. Navigating anxiety, major life shifts, or past trauma can be incredibly challenging, and finding a path forward often feels overwhelming. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, using proven techniques to help you manage these struggles and build resilience. In our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where your thoughts and feelings are valued. My goal is to help you gain clarity, develop effective coping strategies, and find a sense of balance and fulfillment. I’m here to support you every step of the way and am looking forward to embarking on this journey with you.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. At times we can easily overcome the barriers but for the other times we may need to reach out for support. Therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental place to help us decrease emotional stress, better understand our past, and help us to develop tools to move forward. I'm a licensed Creative Arts Therapist with 9 years of clinical experience and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety and stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity and self-exploration. I strive to be genuine, developing positive relationships so I can be a partner in your healing process. In my 9 years of practice working with many different people with a large variety of diagnoses, I have come to individualize treatment utilizing a variety of techniques including talk-therapy, non-verbal therapies (EMDR), and art-based techniques. The path to healing is not straight and can feel like an impossible task, but we do not have to walk alone. The human body has incredible power to recall difficult memories, bury negative thoughts, and to remind us of unfinished business. However, the body can also heal itself given the right environment. Together we can journey towards health and happiness.
