Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I strive to support individuals facing complex cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Clients usually come to me when they feel stuck or misunderstood due to the chronic stress of anxiety, depression, rigid patterns, or daily executive functioning hurdles. Often, they are looking for answers through psychological evaluation, or they are trying to support their child/themselves through challenges. I aim to help clients move forward by collaborating on a practical roadmap that honors their unique lived experience. I offer objective, detailed assessments to uncover accurate answers for a variety of psychological disorders or behavioral profiles. I also offer targeted psychotherapy (CBT, ERP, ACT, mindfulness-based, and play therapy) to build practical emotional regulation and coping skills. Managing these challenges can feel exhausting, and finding the right support can feel daunting. I provide a straightforward, collaborative partnership where you don't have to hide your struggles. When you feel ready to explore working together or need an evaluation, I invite you to reach out for an initial consultation.

That question led me into forensic psychology, where I spent 10 years treating sexual offenders, individuals widely despised by society. Over time, I realized that preventing future harm required helping offenders understand the origins of their actions. Few psychologists—especially survivors who fully grasp the impact—choose this path. But I knew that without effective treatment, the cycle continues. My mission became clear: NO MORE VICTIMS. ______ Holly A. Silva, Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist CT | NY | VA 📞 860-222-4211 📧 drhollysilva@gmail.com

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to connect! You likely wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t struggling with the pressures of life, and the demands placed upon you from both internal and external sources. I would like to take the time to acknowledge that where you are in your journey to find help is challenging and I am here to make that process as smooth as I am able. The first thing to know about me is that I attempt to live my life in an authentic manner that honors my truth, self-identity, and worldview; while helping others discover what that may look like for them. Some of the roles I fill in my life are husband, father, son, sibling, friend, mentor, and helper. While each of these roles is unique and requires special attention, they each contribute to my passion in life and therapeutic approach. I began my journey to becoming a therapist almost a decade ago, when I realized my previous career in healthcare management was not aligned with my passions and purpose in life. I found myself running businesses for other people who were focused on profits and growth, but lacking a focus on people and connection, which is where my heart finds fulfillment. It was then I decided to change my career path and further my knowledge in the human experience. With the goal of learning how to connect with others in a meaningful way that can lead to growth and healing, I pursued my education and licensure as a clinical mental health counselor. Through a person centered approach, which employs a wide variety of evidence based interventions, I work with my clients to achieve their goals in a way that fits them individually. I believe that every person is unique and can benefit from unconditional acceptance and compassion. By creating this environment of acceptance, we are able to identify areas that you want to change and implement strategies tailored to your experience. I look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to help you along your journey. Contact information: jwhitlock@truedirectionmhc.com or Phone: 845-264-2477

Navigating life's struggles can be challenging when you are in college facing so many different transitions and having so many new experiences. I see counseling as an opportunity to discover more about yourself and how to live a life that feels meaningful for you. Some of my specialties include work around anxiety, grief, trauma and addiction. I focus on your current challenges and finding ways to overcome them at your pace while in a safe environment. I have worked with people of all ages both individually and as a group facilitator.

My goal is to help my patients find relief, whether it is falling asleep with ease, completing tasks confidently, being present and interacting with loved ones, or even coping with a difficult social settings. I received my doctorate degree as a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Columba University in 2020. While board certified to treat a diverse scale of symptoms, I have over 4 years of experience with children, as well as adults with substance use disorders. My main focus is medication management. However, I believe it is important to meet someone where they are at and provide psycho-education about various options for treatment, rather than dictating one path. Choosing a medication is a collaborative and fluid discussion where there may be more than one right answer. I believe in taking the time not only to complete comprehensive assessment of symptoms, but also explore the root of the symptoms. I strive to create the most thoughtful plan for each individual, with the patient as an active participant in their own treatment.
