Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Has mental health impacted your ability to perform your best at school, work, or in daily life? Have emotional difficulties caused you to struggle with reaching goals or maintaining relationships? Managing this alone is never easy. I am here to help you navigate difficult life transitions/stressors, while building upon your strengths. I offer a non-judgmental and collaborative approach, while encouraging you, (and sometimes challenging you), towards becoming your best self. As a therapist in WNY with a specialty in career and education counseling, I will help you reach personal and professional goals while managing your mental health. I’ve assisted individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia and various other diagnoses, in working towards making their goals attainable. In addition to mental health counseling, services can include career counseling, academic support, college readiness, and guidance for individuals looking to plan their next steps in life. Growth in your career, at school, in your relationships, and in your personal life is possible despite your current circumstances. I look forward to supporting you in this next step!

I offer support in both English and ASL. Clients I work with typically need support processing family dynamics, relationships, and trauma history.

I am a cognitive behavioral therapist; I strive to create a warm and inviting environment while helping clients to explore any patterns of functioning that may have limited them from achieving success and happiness. I find that collaborating with my clients to create their treatment goals is one of the keys to helping each individual grow emotionally and physically happier and healthier. My clients take active roles in their own journey toward a better tomorrow. I have also received training from PostPartum Support International in Maternal Mental Health.

People come to therapy for many different reasons, but, at the core, they are looking for understanding, relief, or growth. Maybe you’re trying to understand why you feel the way you do, or you find yourself caught in the same difficult thoughts again and again.

Together, we can clarify your current experience, explore how you got here, and begin to shape a healthier, more fulfilling path forward.

Making the choice to pursue therapy is an investment in yourself. Therapy is a journey that is shaped by the relationship established between the therapist and the client. Regardless of how the pursuit of therapy evolved, I aim to establish a relationship based on trust, honesty, humor, and respect. These qualities are imperative in working through the difficulties that can disrupt life and relationships. Together we will work toward the fulfillment of your goals and potential.
I’m a psychotherapist and trauma-focused yoga teacher with an approach grounded in psychoanalytic theory and practice. While I work with a wide variety of folks, I have a soft spot for artists and young adults. Although rooted in psychoanalysis, I practice eclectically, meaning I tailor our sessions to your individualized needs while offering a warm, attentive environment in which your experiences, feelings, and questions are explored. I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship with you so that we explore patterns shaped by past relationships and experiences to make room for greater authenticity and self-understanding. I don’t see psychotherapy as a way to fix or judge, but as a way to learn to approach ourselves with curiosity, and maybe even a little humor, whether this is through talk therapy, trauma-focused yoga, or a combination of the two.

A bit more about my approach to therapy: My approach is down-to-earth, encouraging, and guided foremost by the client. The #1 adage leading my practice is “start where the client is”. I listen carefully, reflect for clarity, and help clients to articulate deeper understanding of themselves. Individuals questioning their sexual identity, LGBTQ, and BIPOC clients will be supported and affirmed. Creative types are welcomed: use of creativity is an unlimited source of healing potential. "Begin. The rest is easy." - George Jenkins What you can expect from our first session: Every individual deserves to find a meaningful sense of purpose, direction, and belonging. After our first session together, I hope for you to feel seen, understood, and supported upon a path of increasing possibility; my hope is that you will feel more capable in the moment of managing what life has waiting for you next.
