Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a licensed therapist in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina who helps people feeling burned out, anxious, or stuck in survival mode reconnect with balance and purpose. Many of my clients come to me after feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or the constant pressure to keep going — even when they’re running on empty. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and learn healthier ways to cope. My style is compassionate and collaborative — I meet you where you are and help you build practical tools for stress, boundaries, and self-care that actually fit your life. Before starting my private practice, I worked in behavioral health settings supporting individuals living with substance use, bipolar disorder, and other chronic mental health conditions. That experience taught me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that real change happens when therapy feels safe, personalized, and empowering. If you’re ready to move from burnout to balance, I’d love to help you take that next step.

I specialize in working with those struggling anxiety. I often support individuals who feel stuck in cycles of rumination and worry, helping them gain greater control over challenging thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll build a toolbox of skills to navigate stressors and create meaningful life change. My therapy style is curious, thoughtful, and non-judgmental. I strive to help clients recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, accept what is beyond their control, and commit to values-driven actions that improve their quality of life.

I work with individuals, couples, and families, am certified as an Emotionally Focused Couples therapist and as a sex therapist, and have experience treating a variety of problems including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, sexual issues, and problems with academic and job performance and with career advancement.

I work with individuals who are curious to pursue change - whether this be by reflecting on obstacles, with a specific goal in mind, or simply because something feels as if it is not "working" for them. One does not have to be 100% motivated to use therapy well, instead, s/he/they can come to sessions with any sense of willingness to explore.

I have an eclectic, person centered, trauma informed approach that draws from Cognitive & Dialectical Behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy traditions. I partner with clients to navigate a broad spectrum of challenges, such as struggling with family relationships, school, work, and even those who aren’t quite sure what is off, and customize the therapy to their individual journeys. Together, we will navigate the complexities of life, offering a space for validation, and growth. Let's navigate your journey together! I'm here to provide a compassionate space for your growth, where we'll highlight your strengths and work on areas for improvement. Your journey matters, and I'm here to listen and support you at each step. My goal is to make you feel heard, seen and understood as we become a team throughout your therapeutic journey.

Healing is unique. The challenges and hurdles that one person might be facing can be different from another. Therefore, the journey of healing must be uniquely altered to fit and support each individual. Traditional evidence-based practices are utilized with the option of incorporating additional spiritual supports. With this formula, an improved quality of life is experienced. As a healer, my life's calling is to walk with you and shed light onto your own unique pathway towards the life that you desire. My hope is through sharing with you the tools I have picked up along my own journey, you will find your own toolbox filling with valuable aids. I specialize in incorporating spiritual aspects: Reiki, Past Life Therapy, Shamanism. If you feel that you may benefit from working with me, or would benefit from the approach I take towards healing, I encourage you to reach out. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

I partner with my clients to improve understanding and mastery of themselves, the challenges they face, both interpersonally, intra psychically, and in a larger societal context. I work well with people from all ethnicities, backgrounds, and sexual orientations. I love my work and look forward to collaborating with clients to achieve the goals set by them.

I believe therapy should be a safe, non-bias, judge free space where you can be seen and heard regardless of what you are going through. In our sessions together, we can challenge and explore where we currently are in life, and how to manage, cope and overcome obstacles with full transparency. If you are ready to take your healing journey seriously, we could be a perfect fit!

I am a private practice therapist who works with adults of all ages, with particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and those who have experienced trauma. I believe that symptoms—whether anxiety, depression, or something harder to name—often have roots in our histories and relationships. In our work together, we’ll slow down and get curious about the patterns, feelings, and ways you’ve learned to cope that may no longer be serving you. Many of the students I work with are navigating academic pressure, identity questions, relationship stress, or major life transitions while trying to keep up with the demands of school and daily life. My hope is to offer a warm, attuned space where greater self-understanding can lead to real and lasting change.

Do you have anxiety-provoking thoughts that won’t go away? Do you avoid certain situations or do the same things over and over to get rid of your anxiety only to find temporary relief? Do you feel like your OCD or anxiety is running your life? You are in the right place. As a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety I am committed to empowering you to get back into the driver’s seat and feel in control of your life. I provide Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which aim to reduce symptoms and improve wellbeing by cultivating flexibility in thinking and behavior. My approach to treatment is collaborative and goal-oriented. Working together, you and I will look at what factors are contributing to your struggles and develop a plan for changing the patterns that are keeping you stuck. Seeking help is an act of courage, but I will be there with you throughout with empathy, genuineness, curiosity, and perseverance. If this resonates with you, the next step would be to reach out to schedule a complimentary phone consultation where I can hear about what you’re going through, share more about my approach, and we can see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!

I specialize in working with individuals battling with depression, self-esteem issues and anxiety issues stemming from overwhelming life experiences and Complex Trauma.

Life isn’t going quite the way you planned. You’re feeling overwhelmed and maybe even a little afraid of everything right now. Your anxiety is heightened and you feel trapped and helpless when you go to face the day. No matter how lost or uncertain you feel, just know there is always hope. Whatever you’re facing and whatever you’re feeling, talking through this tough time can give you the perspective and understanding you need to move forward.

I BELIEVE THAT EACH PERSON is a mosaic of experiences, identities, and values and I will tailor our work to your unique needs and goals. I am attentive to your story as an individual or couple as well as broader cultural and sociopolitical dynamics that may impact your experience. I am collaborative and not mysterious - I will share my thinking with you, explain what I believe you may find helpful and why, and welcome your feedback on what is and is not working for you. I WILL DRAW UPON MY TIME studying biology at Harvard to consider and share with you how biological elements such as sleep science, nutrition, stress response, and more may be impacting your wellbeing. I also am happy to discuss how your sexual health intersects with physical and emotional health, and have several years of experience in sex and relationship counseling. If you struggle with any aspect of sex ranging from desire, arousal, accessing pleasure, self-consciousness, or trauma, I am here to acknowledge the taboos around sex in our society, provide a space for open conversation individually or as a couple, and help you get what you want out of your sexuality and sex life. MY CLINICAL STYLE prioritizes validation and fostering a safe environment to navigate vulnerable topics together. Many people tend to invalidate their own emotions - if this sounds like you, I will support you in developing kinder self-talk and holding space for your feelings. We will uncover insight into why you may be stuck in certain patterns or cycles that are not serving you as an individual or in a relationship and use this knowledge to build new ways of moving forward and living your life how you want to. WE WILL REFLECT ON what gives you fulfillment and how to create a life full of meaning and enjoyment. At the same time, we will explore different tools, including somatic methods and emotional skills, that you can use to reduce stress, and anxiety, reshape negative thinking, improve tension-filled relationships, and overall work towards being happier, healthier, and more productive. We may think of the mind as something intangible, but it lives in the body. By learning to support your mental processes and physical well-being, you can achieve balance and peace. No matter where you are on this journey, I will meet you there and support you.
