Therapists for college students near New York, NY
I provide a safe and supportive psychotherapy experience to people seeking to grow and change or simply manage the challenges of college and life experiences. Specialty areas include depression, self esteem, lgbtq+
Hi there! Currently I'm providing telehealth via a secure, user-friendly and HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I see many clients who struggle with anxiety and stress-management, relationship concerns, life-stage stressors, and self-worth/self-esteem issues. College is often described as "some of the best years of your life" ....by well-intentioned people who likely have not experienced life as a college student in the 21st century. Many of my college-aged clients come to therapy seeking guidance once the juggling act of friends, dating, family, homework, classes, labs, group projects, extracurricular obligations, etc...starts to become overwhelming, and "me-time" a distant memory. While therapy itself certainly can't remove anything from your plate, it can help you to reconfigure and re-prioritize your life in a way that can bring greater peace of mind, and restore a sense of balance. Feel free to reach out and we'll see if this can be a good fit for your needs! Melissa
I'm sorry things aren't going so well right now, and congratulate and respect you for reaching out. I hope to help clear the path for you to heal and flourish. I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I provide medication management and psychotherapy services in New York and Connecticut over telehealth. Prior to beginning outpatient practice, I worked on the adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit at NewYork-Presbyterian's Westchester Behavioral Health Center and on adult, adolescent, and children's psychiatric units at Four Winds Hospital in Katonah. I have an MSN from Hunter College, a BSN from Pace University, and a BA in psychology from Harvard University. My focus is on care for the whole person. I believe authenticity is paramount and as a result clients tell me I have earned their trust. Your safety and overall well-being are my primary concern. I look forward to collaborating with you to deliver your care and further you along the path to your goals.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 8 years of experience: treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. As a Black woman, I am aware of the emotional distress caused by systematic oppression often inflicted on people of color and oppressed groups: I address these experiences with compassion, sensitivity and honesty in session.
Many of us move through life feeling disconnected and alone. We long for connection but often hold back from fully being seen. Change can feel risky, so we cling to what's familiar, even when it no longer serves us. Over time, this avoidance can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. If you are fed up with how things are going in your life, I got you! Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure of who they are beyond the roles they've learned to play. As your therapist, I work hard to know you, and I take great care in helping you explore and reimagine aspects of yourself that have been shaped by your personal history. I work with adults navigating family dynamics, relationships, identity, and cultural expectations. I recognize the power and importance of this work, and I understand that deep and lasting change takes time. I won't rush you to a goal before you're ready, and I'll hold space for your process without judgment, pressure, or impatience. I'll encourage you, support you, and, most importantly, empower you to consider "leaning" into change, which I often describe as "dipping toes in the water." So come as you are, and together we'll figure out where to dip in!

I offer a non-judgmental space to learn more about yourself, what you want, and how to get there. My practice is depth-oriented; we work collaboratively to get to the root of your problems so you can move forward both with my help and on your own. We learn together to listen better to you so that you can come into a more solid and vital sense of yourself.
Welcome to Westchester Parent and Child Therapy At Westchester Parent and Child Therapy, we recognize that each person enters therapy as a unique individual with their own upbringing and life experiences. However, none of us exist in a vacuum—we are all shaped by the relationships, families, and environments that surround us. Our past influences our present, and through therapy, we can explore these connections, gain insight, and create a path toward healing and growth. By understanding how our family of origin and broader systems impact us, we can break unhelpful patterns, foster meaningful change, and build a future that aligns with our values and emotional well-being. Our Team Our team includes licensed clinicians, provisionally licensed clinicians, and master's-level interns. Our licensed therapists, credentialed in NY, NJ, and CT, bring extensive experience across various therapeutic modalities. Provisionally licensed clinicians receive supervised training as they work toward their terminal licensure, and our master's level clinical interns provide fresh insights while working under close supervision. Our Services We offer therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Our individual therapy services help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Couples counseling focuses on strengthening communication and resolving conflicts, while family therapy supports improving relationships and fostering understanding. Group therapy offers a space to connect with others experiencing similar challenges. Our Approach & Specialties We integrate evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-focused therapy. We specialize in addressing challenges unique to both men and women, such as societal pressures, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Additionally, we support individuals preparing for parenthood and navigating postpartum challenges. Flexible & Accessible Care We offer flexible scheduling, sliding scale fees, and provide a complimentary consultation to help you find the right fit. Get in Touch We’re here for you whenever you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing.
Who am I? What is important to me? What do I believe in? What do I want out of life? I know firsthand what it is like to face these questions, especially when rebuilding after disappointment, trauma, and loss. In my own experience and in my experience working with clients, I have found that the most difficult times of our lives can be the catalyst to our greatest growth, and eventually, a sense of peace we had not thought possible. My primary areas of focus are working with clients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and spiritual concerns. I integrate acceptance and mindfulness-based practices with evidence-based approaches to tailor a therapy experience that best fits your needs and goals. I believe those of us who struggle the most have the greatest resources for making real change, for building rich, full, and meaningful lives. Let’s work together to navigate life's difficulties, and in the face of challenges, be present, open up, and do what matters.
I work best with students who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or hard on themselves, and are looking for a supportive space to sort through what’s going on. Many are navigating stress, relationships, or big life transitions and want practical tools along with a place to feel understood.

We work best with students who feel deeply and think a lot. Many of the students we support are navigating major life changes, identity questions, relationship challenges, or the pressure to succeed while feeling like they are falling behind inside. If you have ever felt like you are carrying a lot beneath the surface or trying to make sense of big emotions and experiences, you are not alone. In therapy, we create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and build the tools to move through life with more self-awareness and confidence.
