Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I appreciate the time you are taking to choose the best person and process for your specific needs. Being a college student requires a lot of difficult choices, and I know finding a counselor can be hard as well. Here are some thoughts about how I work, but please contact me if you have other questions. My goal as a counselor is to shape our work around the needs, goals, and overall direction you want to take in your life. If you have very focused, concrete issues you want to address, we’ll use a solution-focused approach to create plans and strategies for focused change and growth. If you have more broad, complicated things to address, we talk about a deeper purpose and meaning for your life that can serve as a foundation for more significant changes. No matter what you would like to talk about in counseling, we will capitalize on your strengths as a whole person to create the change you seek.

Hi there! I'm Ali, a clinician at Compass Wellness Associates in Poughkeepsie. I see a wide range of individuals with varying needs. I have a soft spot for those going through difficult transitions, such as entering college life, making a campus switch, and the feelings that come with graduating. Additionally, I see those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, needing support with ADHD and Autism spectrum disorder. Feel free to email or call 845-605-2905 in for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss needs and support.

My name is Chrissy (she/her). I frequently work with college students ages 18+ who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, perfectionism, and distress related to family and life transitions. I work with adults of all genders, sexualities, and socioeconomic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. I can help you learn and practice skills to get unhooked from painful thoughts and feelings, build healthier relationships, and respond to uncomfortable thoughts and emotions in a new way. I currently have virtual availability Tuesday-Thursday. You've taken an empowering first step in looking for a therapist. If you think we could be a good fit, just message me. I'll get back to you within 24 business hours to set us up a free 15 minute consultation call. Looking forward to connecting!

S H A D O W L I G H T CENTER is a holistic and alternative approach to traditional talk therapy. We offer sessions on Zoom. We are both POC as well as racial justice and LGBTQIA+ allies devoted to deconstructing systems of harm to humans and non-humans resulting from racial, heteronormative, and hierarchical power structures. We are licensed in New York to provide therapy and practice holistic help to people outside of New York State. We integrate the mind-body-spirit (this is not a faith-based approach). We are trauma-informed and create safe spaces for you to be heard for issues large and small that college students face both in and beyond college. We weave mindfulness, somatic awareness, ancestral healing, spiritual connection, finding purpose, grief counseling, energy balancing, post-psychedelic therapy integration, and more. We specialize in helping people understand how mental health issues like depression, anxiety, etc. are related to ancestral traumas, the pain present on the earth right now, as well as our personal histories. Conventional Western wisdom says it’s only about the self, i.e. a "chemical imbalance". But wellness is more complex and inter-connected than we have been made to believe. Reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. At times we can easily overcome the barriers but for the other times we may need to reach out for support. Therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental place to help us decrease emotional stress, better understand our past, and help us to develop tools to move forward. I'm a licensed Creative Arts Therapist with 9 years of clinical experience and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety and stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity and self-exploration. I strive to be genuine, developing positive relationships so I can be a partner in your healing process. In my 9 years of practice working with many different people with a large variety of diagnoses, I have come to individualize treatment utilizing a variety of techniques including talk-therapy, non-verbal therapies (EMDR), and art-based techniques. The path to healing is not straight and can feel like an impossible task, but we do not have to walk alone. The human body has incredible power to recall difficult memories, bury negative thoughts, and to remind us of unfinished business. However, the body can also heal itself given the right environment. Together we can journey towards health and happiness.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and also a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC level 2). I have a Masters of Education in mental health, addictions, and marriage and family therapy. I have worked with families, adolescents and adults for over the last 13 years in outpatient, in-home therapy settings, detox/inpatient rehab and hospital settings. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Family Systems Therapy.

Hello! I am Jacqueline Treml and I've been a psychotherapist in the community for over 25 years. Although I specialize in Anxiety, OCD & Phobias, I also practice EMDR for trauma, as well as offering support around the full spectrum of issues including identity, relationships, depression, and issues around grief & loss. I have seen many students over the years who are struggling with perfectionism, self-doubt, intense anxiety and depression, and who are working out difficult relationship dynamics with family, friends, and intimate partners. I hope that by coming to therapy with me, you are offered a warm and comforting environment where we can look together at issues without judgment. I will try to offer you perspective and what wisdom I've gained over the years to help your life at Cornell be what you'd like it to be. I look forward to hearing from you.

Young adulthood is a time of transitions, growth and self discovery. While many new challenges can be exciting, this time of exploration can also become overwhelming. There can be a lot of “shoulds”, comparisons and uncertainty. My office is a safe space to process through all of these thoughts and feelings without feeling judged or criticized. Together we work to figure out a path to help you build the necessary skills and insights to launch into the adult life you are seeking. I love working with young adults and college students to help them embrace this season of their life. As a Registered Yoga Teacher I value the connection between the mind and body and what stress does to our overall well being. With that being said- if yoga/meditation/mindfulness is not your thing it does not need to be involved in your treatment. I always work to creatively match the evidenced based treatment modalities I am trained in to fit a client’s unique goals and strengths. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at 585-432-0717 or through email at maryvanvoorhislcsw@gmail.com to learn more about my practice or to set up a brief initial call to see if my practice might be a good fit for you.

Life’s Journey is full of many obstacles and hard-to-manage paths. Sometimes, no matter how much you try, they may feel just impossible. And when anxiety, depression, fear, difficult life decisions, boundary setting, and trauma interfere with your life daily, extra support and connection are needed to lean in and step forward.

Aimée understands that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially in young adulthood, when life can feel overwhelming. Her approach is warm, gentle, and centered on curiosity—she asks the kinds of questions that help you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Together, you’ll look at your thoughts and emotions, exploring your personal story in a way that feels safe and supportive. Aimée also focuses on practical tools to help you manage real-life challenges, like stress, anxiety, or tough relationships. She uses mindfulness and staying grounded in the present to help you feel more in control. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, attachment struggles, trauma, or something more complex, Aimée is here to guide you toward healing and growth at your own pace.

Skeptical? Good! The therapeutic relationship and experience of your counselor should be taken seriously. If you are courageous enough to seek support; do your homework, find a good fit and be cautious of snake oil and shortcuts. You know more about your experience than anyone. Be open, trust your gut. Trailhead. I require a free 15-minute call to ensure we are a good fit. If not, I will provide recommendations or referral to get you to the most helpful resource. Best part of my work. I enjoy working with clients who have been through challenging times and keep fighting the voice that undermines their accomplishments, goals and aspirations. Like a great deal of my colleagues – I find this privileged, difficult and honorable work. I value diversity. My career allowed me to interact with everyone and anyone – I am more interesting and compassionate because of it. Training and Experience. On paper, I am a master's prepared social worker, seasoned as a licensed clinical social worker and have 20 years of experience empowering individuals, professionals and systems in the criminal justice, government, and healthcare sectors. I am a University at Buffalo School of Social Work alum from back in the day. I am a dad and husband. I am passionate, warm, ambiverted, sometimes grumpy, professional. I do not have a brand. Raised on hip hop, straight edge hardcore and skateboarding. I found my education and profession by accident. When I’m down and feel like an imposter, I remember this. The rest I found in pain, love, and my own therapy. Enough about me, let's find what is important to you! Approaches Mindfulness based: most generally, exercises and a practice on awareness of your senses. Simple and radically transforming. This approach is unique, flexible and backed by research and measurable outcomes. It’s accessible, experiential, and highly rewarding. I view this approach as mind hacks to get around the junk in your head and drop back into your body. Trauma informed: incorporating evidenced based practices, common courtesy and acknowledgment that all of us have experienced hurts in some form. It is a way to embody and practice a non-pathologizing approach that honors your past while being grounded in the present. Systems oriented: life in context gives us freedom to understand ourselves and accurately place the hurt of our experiences back where they belong. Internal Family Systems has impacted my practice and personal growth.

I specializes in helping people who are having difficulty controlling their gambling. Behaviors such as staying up all night gambling, not attending classes or going to work, isolating, gambling until all your money is gone, lying or stealing to get money with which to gamble, chasing your losses, physically hurting yourself, and thoughts of suicide are common among people who have a gambling problem. Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step and asking for help is the second. Please contact me to take the most important step--doing something to stop the pain caused by problem gambling.

An important part of successful therapy is feeling connected with your therapist. I'll first work with you on building that connection by listening and trying to understanding your feelings and experiences. We will also work collaboratively to understand patterns in your relationships and past experiences that help shape your current situation and behaviors. Coming to a better understanding of yourself, your feelings and behaviors is the first order of change. I also specialize in working with children, adolescents and families. With a Master's in School Psychology, I collaborate well with school professionals to support your child more comprehensively. I also provide parenting support to address challenging behaviors at home. I make sure the therapeutic process is collaborative. By helping you build upon strengths and understand challenges, you can start having a greater awareness of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and incorporate healthier coping strategies and attain professional, academic, and interpersonal goals. To work on this together, contact me for a free phone consultation.
