Therapists for college students near New York, NY

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 am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in relationship issues, stress management, anxiety and life transitions for the adult population. As a therapist with over ten years of experience, my work has allowed me to treat both children and adults. I understand that trust takes time to develop. Regardless of the population, my therapeutic approach aids in navigating potential challenges that arise throughout the lifespan. Life can be overwhelming at any age, and having a trustworthy, neutral person to confide in is ideal. In my experience, I have come to learn that individuals want someone that will listen to them without judgement, which is what I provide. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Humanistic Therapy. My approach is non-judgmental, person-centered and collaborative. I am a strong believer that a person's mental health is as equally important as their physical health. Working together, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment. I utilize CBT, Humanistic and Interpersonal Therapy, to help clients develop skills that, with consistent application, improve their ability to manage the issues they present with. My style is creating a working alliance , and I modify my approach to each individual's unique goals. My journey to becoming a therapist began with being labeled 'the voice of reason' by friends. I would ask if they wanted someone to vent to, or were they seeking advice. When giving advice, I would take a neutral standpoint of seeing the entire picture, because there can be different perspectives in situations. My neutrality would take precedence, regardless of my personal relationship with the friend. This has deepened my commitment to providing an unbiased perspective to client sessions. I believe in individualization and client self-determination. People come from diverse backgrounds and have a multitude of life experiences, so acknowledging that diversity positively impacts the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship I strive to build. I have interests in music, various forms of exercise, arts and crafts, cooking and collecting.

I offer an eclectic approach to therapy that pulls from a variety of treatment modalities, including solution-focused and strengths-based therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. When entering therapy, you should expect an opportunity to feel understood, validated, and confident in discussing concerns without judgment. I aim to equip clients with tools they can use to successfully manage stressors in their personal lives.

Hi, I’m Aneeta, a licensed psychologist based in New York. I received my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including college counseling, community mental health, inpatient care, and private practice, supporting adults and young adults through life’s challenges. I tailor my care to your needs, moving at your pace in a safe, non-judgmental space. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. Our work centers on relationships, including ours, because I believe feeling connected is key to healing and growth. Together, we'll explore the different parts of yourself, your strengths, identity, and values to help you feel more connected and whole. I especially enjoy working with people who are exploring their identity, navigating relationship and family dynamics, healing from past experiences, or adjusting to big life transitions. Whether you’re trying to understand yourself better, heal from past wounds, or create more fulfilling relationships, I’m here to support you. If you think we might be a good fit or want to learn more, please reach out!

Having moved countries multiple times, I deeply understand the stressors and challenges associated with settling into a new place, leaving behind friends, family, and pets. I can help you navigate these challenges and build meaningful connections and a fulfilling life. My primary focus is on adults who feel unfulfilled or trapped in a gilded cage and those who feel like they don't belong. When working with couples and individuals, my specialties include redistributing the mental load, fostering open communication, resolving conflicts, and reigniting intimacy. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, always respecting their individuality and autonomy. I believe that even the most self-destructive behaviors originate from a place of protection. Let’s work together to reframe your relationships with yourself and others, transforming self-loathing and shame into understanding and kindness.

I strive to help people understand their emotional and behavioral patterns and work towards behaviors that can generate meaning and purpose. The evidence-based therapies that I use help treat OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, and more. I utilize an empathic and nonjudgmental stance, and aim to compassionately recognize the function of behaviors, and why they might make sense in the past and present. The evidence-based practices I use will include learning skills to help foster more flexible and effective responses to painful and difficult thoughts and feelings. I firmly believe in tailoring treatment to meet your unique needs and goals, and believe our collaboration and therapeutic relationship is essential in this process. My hope is that together we can create a space where you can relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings and create change in their presence.

During college, it's not unusual to feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you want closer friendships. Maybe you get anxious when you talk to new people, or you feel lonely or down. Maybe you're falling back into a familiar depression or returning to high levels of anxiety you hoped wouldn't follow you to college. It can be hard to think about going to therapy when you don't even know what you'd say. If you feel badly about yourself or you feel hopeless, it might be hard to think anything will help. You are not alone. You don't have to have the answers. Listening compassionately, I will invite you to bring your experience into the room. Together, we can collaborate to better understand you and the challenges you're confronting. We may discover unmourned losses or unhealed wounds. We may identify recurring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and interactions that may not be serving you anymore. Experiencing a greater emotional range, you can begin to heal. After working in university counseling centers for over 15 years, I now see many undergraduate and graduate students in private practice. I enjoy working both with students who are new to psychotherapy as well as those who have been in therapy previously. Many students I work with are LGBTQIA+/ queer students.

I have worked at different university counseling centers in the past, including California College of the Arts, Barnard College, Columbia University, the Graduate Center of CUNY, and last in the role of assistant director of the counseling center at Fordham University. I have been in private practice for 20 years now, where I see many undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of my work with you is to help you make your life more fulfilling. Good psychotherapy will alleviate your personal suffering, and make you more resourceful emotionally and practically. It will strengthen your capacity to negotiate relationships, to love, and feel more alive and connected. I respect your intelligence, and aim for us to be collaborators in the process of psychotherapy. I listen closely to you and share my questions and observations with you. I am a psychoanalyst certified by NYU, where I received four awards. I completed advanced training in couple's therapy (White Institute). I published a book entitled "Immigration in Psychoanalysis," give talks, supervise and teach. Areas of specialty are: Our relationship to ourselves and others. Couples therapy, immigration and acculturation, childhood trauma, creative and work blocks. I work with a diverse group of people of different ages, class backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, sexual identities and orientations. I see adolescents, adults and couples.

My therapeutic work tends to resonate with people who have spent a long time thinking their way through distress and are ready for something that goes deeper. I tend to work well with people who are struggling with a persistent sense of loneliness or feeling misunderstood, and who need therapy to be able to hold complex layers of experience. Many are navigating a queer, trans, or neurodivergent experience that doesn't fit easily into any category, struggling with nuanced questions about relationships and sexuality, or bearing the weight of repeated traumas, anxiety, and depression.
