Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Choosing a therapist and getting started itself can be overwhelming. I believe that treatment must be specific to the person and the problem and be based on a broad array of available clinical modalities and interventions. These interventions are always provided with safe, supportive and professional care. I have over twenty years experience as a psychologist and as a supervisor and trainer of therapists from all of the mental health fields. I head a group private practice with many available resources for adults and children. I am a leader in the field of abuse and trauma as well as sexuality and relationships. Some of my credentials include: Diplomate and Clinical Supervisor of the American Board of Sexology; Diplomate and Certified Sex Therapist of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists; and, Master Addiction Counselor by the National Certification Commission for Addiction Professionals.
Located walking distance to Vassar College and a short ride from Marist, I aim to help college aged clients clarify their desired direction in their life and better understand the barriers in their way. Together we will work on developing coping skills, understand personal storylines that no longer serve you, and work towards fully integrated, authentic and mindful living. I also have a special interest in working with individuals living with chronic illness and/or dealing with grief.
Reaching out for support can be hard, but you are not alone. Everyone has experienced their own life journey which can involve grief/loss, relational ruptures, parenting struggles or trauma. Sometimes this journey can leave adults in a place where it is hard to find the motivation to complete everyday tasks, manage life stress or have patience with our loved ones. This can be true for children too, which may cause them to struggle in school, have emotional outbursts or display signs of anxiety. No matter what is bringing you, your child, or family to this moment in time, I am honored to be a part of your journey. With 7+ years of experience working with adults, teens, children and infants I am well versed in several different therapeutic techniques that can be adapted to fit each person’s needs. In addition to being a clinical social worker, I am also a Registered Play Therapist and have extensive training in providing Infant/Child-Parent Psychotheray. It is crucial to healing to find a therapist that is the right fit. I believe that meaningful change comes from having a safe space where you can bring your true and authentic self without judgement; this is true for both adults and children. My goal is not to have the answers but to partner with you through the journey of healing and discovering yourself.
I specialize in working with college aged women who have experienced sexual assault and are seeking a trauma informed, supportive space to heal. I help students process their experiences, rebuild a sense of safety and control, and develop coping skills that support both emotional well being and academic functioning. I also work with college students managing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship or dating concerns, boundary setting, family pressure, and major life transitions. Therapy is collaborative, practical, and designed to fit into the pace of college life.

Navigating the complex dynamics of college life can be challenging, and I am dedicated to supporting you through these pivotal years. I understand the pressures of academic performance, the intricacies of relationships, the stress of athletic commitments (as a former Division I athlete, myself!), and the overwhelming transitions that come with this phase of life. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or simply need guidance in managing college dynamics, I am here to help. I offer personalized, compassionate care to ensure you thrive both academically and personally, helping you achieve a balanced and fulfilling college experience.
Do you struggle to initiate or complete tasks, stay organized, develop and maintain relationships, or regulate your emotions? These challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, I specialize in ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, and perfectionism. I particularly enjoy working with college and graduate students as they navigate the unique challenges they are facing in this stage of their life. I use a warm, collaborative, and affirming approach that helps my clients build upon their unique strengths, while also helping them learn how to make successful adaptations to improve the quality of their life. Sessions are often skills-based to improve communication and interpersonal relationships, as well as planning, prioritizing, and time management. Taking this first step can be overwhelming, though I am hopeful that I can help you achieve your goals. Please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation today!
My approach relies on a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship where we can safely engage in healing work. We will navigate the pains and challenges of today, while fostering an understanding of how the past has played a role - all while inclining toward a meaningful future. I will provide tools for immediate relief as needed to support this process. I often work with folks who are highly sensitive, feel different or misunderstood, have overwhelming emotions, struggle with relationships, have low self-esteem, are queer or questioning, or are seeking to develop identity, purpose, and meaning in life. I would love to talk to you more about how I work, hear about your goals for therapy, and answer any questions you might have. I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome! Taking the first steps towards finding a therapist you "click" with can be intimidating (and exhausting) so I give you tons of credit for getting this far. I feel honored to work with my clients because I know how hard it can be to open up about personal things. I believe in the healing power of a strong therapeutic relationship, a relationship where you feel truly "seen" and understood. I like to think of a therapist's role as a supportive, steady companion who walks next to you on your path. While I certainly do not have all the answers, I do have plenty of skills and experience that might be helpful along the way. Part of what I love about being a therapist is hearing people's rich stories of not only heartache and struggle, but resilience and healing. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to talk about those deeply personal experiences. If it sounds like we might "click", feel free to reach out to schedule an intro call. I look forward to it!
