Therapists for college students near New York, NY
With over 20 years of experience, I’m an anxiety specialist who helps college students navigate overthinking, self-doubt, avoidance, uncertainty, academic stress, relationship challenges, and the demands of balancing school, work, and personal responsibilities. I also support students experiencing OCD, panic attacks, depression, and ADHD. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ERP, and ACT, tailoring treatment to your individual needs and goals. ERP is considered the gold-standard treatment for OCD, while CBT and ACT provide effective tools for managing anxiety, difficult emotions, and unhelpful patterns. We’ll work together to understand what may be keeping you stuck and find more effective ways to respond when anxiety, difficult emotions, or uncertainty arise. You’ll leave sessions with practical strategies to apply in your everyday life. Whether you’re adjusting to college, struggling to keep up with competing demands, navigating relationships, or preparing for life after graduation, I’d be glad to help.
In my practice, I partner with my client to discover how to ride the wave of life. With a person-centered approach, emphasizing unconditional positive regard, I strive to build an empathic environment which begins with the belief that all human beings have an innate need and right to express themselves.

I offer a combination of traditional talk therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness and body awareness, with creative exploration through an array of artistic modalities. Techniques are tailored to each client’s comfortability and needs. Healing and change are often uncomfortable, but necessary for a joyful life. I look forward to being your advocate on this journey where you can expect to be seen and heard.

I believe in community care, liberation, growth, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. The trauma we experience can make us feel so disconnected and dissociated while also craving connection and warmth.

I draw from modalities such as psychodynamics, somatic work, narrative therapy, and mindfulness. Please reach out for a free consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
If you’re looking for a therapist who shows up like a regular person, and not a blank slate, look no further. In this room, you won’t get a lot of blank “I see” or “Ahh.” Instead, you’ll have a therapist who is warm, empathetic, and (most importantly) FUNNY. I aim to make the therapy room a space where you can show up exactly as you are. That is, authentically you, whatever that looks like on any given day. We can make space to laugh, to cry, to feel what it is you need to feel in order to help you grow into the you that you want to be. I want this relationship to feel collaborative and within your boundaries. If something we’re doing isn’t working for you, tell me and let’s work together to find something that works for you!

Is Therapy right for me? Therapy is an opportunity for you to explore, reflect upon, and work to overcome issues or circumstances in your life with someone who can be objective yet very much invested in you becoming stronger, healthier, and happier. Counseling as a process is meant to challenge you to face and work through any difficulties you are experiencing because of either past, present, or future concerns. It is typically a weekly meeting between you and your counselor that gives you the space to have an open dialogue about what you are facing, confront your feelings in a more honest way, or to decide how you want to approach solving a problem in your life. The length of counseling is unique for each individual, depending upon on your needs and goals. Essentially, the counseling process is driven by you. We have two therapists at our facility, Bushra Husain, DSW LCSW, Maryum Khwaja, LCSW.
