Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Hey there, I'm Keyaira Hamilton, a Clinical Resident with Living Purpose Mental Health Counseling. I am currently in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Northwestern University pursuing a Masters in Counseling. Navigating life’s transitions and distressing experiences can be emotionally, mentally, and physically overwhelming. If life came with a manual, navigating its unpredictable chapters would be far less overwhelming. But we sometimes find ourselves at a crossroads, not knowing which way to go. As a Clinical Resident, I offer a sacred and compassionate space where we don’t have to face these experiences alone. I specialize in holding a safe space for those journeying through trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity-related challenges. Grounded in inclusivity, exploring inner narratives, reactional dynamics, and building the tools to promote resonance and self- discovery. My approach emphasizes an integrative care, incorporating culturally responsive, mindfulness-based practices, in a judgement-free environment and taking into consideration your struggles and concerns regarding the mind-body connection. I want to honor each of your lived experiences to encourage openness, reflection, and healing. When you're ready, I will be here to walk alongside you

Hi! I’m Alexandra—your partner in healing and growth. When I was little, I used to say I wanted to be a “Feelings Doctor.” I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but I knew I wanted to help people feel better—emotionally and mentally. I started college at 16 and initially pursued pre-med, but I quickly realized that the clinical world wasn’t where I felt most at home. What truly called to me was connecting with people, understanding their stories, and helping them heal from the inside out. I grew up in one of the poorest areas of Colombia, and those early experiences taught me the power of resilience, community, and hope. I saw how vital emotional support is when life gets hard—and that’s what led me to psychology. It gave me the tools to do what I’ve always wanted: walk alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strength. As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, insomnia, and more. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I work with children, teens, and adults. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and calm. Outside of therapy, I’m a runner (yes, I run for fun!), a guitar enthusiast, and a sci-fi lover—currently reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I love dancing with friends, cooking while video chatting with my family back home, and traveling whenever I can. These moments of connection—whether across a kitchen or across continents—remind me of the joy and strength we find in togetherness. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where you can be fully yourself. Healing isn’t always easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

Are you looking to be understood? Do you feel stuck in a loop that you can’t seem to get out of? Are you wanting to build a relationship with your mind, body or soul, so that you can feel more at home within yourself? This is what therapy is about in the sessions I have with my clients. Whether you need EMDR to process some heavy trauma, or CBT to jump out of negative thought loops. Maybe you need IFS to connect with different parts of yourself, break things down. Or perhaps, some art therapy to bring out the joy that’s been missing. Breath work and body work can be combined to any approach we take. I have thorough training in multiple therapeutic techniques, and create a unique blend that aligns to you and your life context. At the center of our work together, is you. This is your space. I cannot fix you, I cannot heal you. But I can guide you. I can help facilitate your healing process, help you reveal and use the power to heal you already posses, however deep it may be buried. We can also create new tools together, ones that truly align with who you are as a person so that they feel natural, and as easy to use as your diaphragm is for breathing. As your therapist, we will explore your inner world together, and how that inner world is impacted by and communicates with the external world you’re in. Our work will be done within a space of humanity and true understanding. If or when you feel ready to begin, I look forward to working with you.

Hello, I'm Grace Moon, a Master of Arts student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Northwestern University. My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, perhaps overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating the weight of past experiences, or struggling to find meaning and direction in their present life. They might be grappling with difficult emotions, feeling disconnected from themselves or others, or facing challenges in their relationships. Their needs center around feeling understood, validated, and empowered. They long for a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their inner world, to make sense of their experiences, and to develop healthier coping mechanisms. They need support in identifying their strengths and in fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion. Their goals often involve reducing their distress, improving their relationships, increasing their self-esteem, and living a more authentic and fulfilling life. They want to feel more in control of their emotions, to break free from patterns that no longer serve them, and to connect with their values and purpose. Ultimately, they want to feel a greater sense of peace, joy, and agency in their lives. I specialize in creating a warm and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, and I tailor our work together to your unique needs and goals. I offer space to delve into the roots of your challenges, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop new perspectives and skills to navigate life’s complexities. My aim is to empower you to gain deeper insight into yourself, cultivate inner resources, and move towards greater well-being and personal growth. It takes courage to reach out for support, and if you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a significant step. If any of this resonates with your own experience, please know that you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. I offer a confidential and supportive space where we can work together to understand your struggles and explore pathways towards healing and growth. If you’re feeling ready to take that next step, I invite you to reach out. I’d be glad to learn more about what you’re going through and discuss how I might be able to help.

Hello! I'm Ashanti, I’m of Caribbean descent, and a recent graduate from NYU with a Master’s in School Counseling. I’m pleased to be interning as a clinical resident with Living Purpose, where I’m dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and growth. Having navigated my own triumphs and challenges throughout life, I deeply understand how overwhelming life can feel at times. The weight of heavy emotions and unpredictable circumstances can take a toll on our mental well-being, especially when facing them alone. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you, helping you rediscover meaning and purpose in your life. I aim to support clients in understanding their past by creating a safe and welcoming space to explore and process suppressed, repressed, and avoided emotions, experiences, and circumstances—all natural coping strategies we use to navigate life's challenges. My approach centers on Solution-Focused Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we’ll work to process past experiences, address suppressed emotions, and build confidence in overcoming life’s hurdles. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling a bit more empowered and confident, with tools to manage negative thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. I’m passionate about psychoeducation, encouraging clients to explore topics outside of sessions, relevant to their growth, while reflecting on insights gained during sessions. This collaborative approach fosters a strong therapist-client partnership. The more informed an individual is, the more proactive an individual can be within sessions and their own lives. I specialize in helping clients develop practical, empowering strategies, including:  Assertiveness and boundary setting  Resilience and self-esteem building  Self-love and self-care practices  Healthy coping mechanisms  Trauma processing and identifying triggers  Communication and interpersonal skills for stronger relationships  Uncovering and addressing underlying issues I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore, heal, and grow. Let’s work together to navigate your path forward with confidence and hope.

Mental health care should encompass more than just the alleviation of symptoms. That’s why, as a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I value a holistic, participatory approach to care that considers the whole person, including social, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of well-being. Drawing on psychiatric experience across acute inpatient hospitals, eating disorder residential facilities, and outpatient care, I help adult and adolescent clients develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and achieve lasting personal growth and emotional stability. My goal is to help each individual struggling with mood, anxiety, and/or eating disorders not just manage their symptoms, but truly thrive. I take a patient-centered approach in my practice, creating treatment plans that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. Through this recovery-focused care, I place great emphasis on empowering you to take an active role in your recovery journey while building on your strengths, skills, and resilience. From beginning of treatment to continuing care, you can trust in me to create a safe environment that fosters healing and provides you with the tools you need to move forward on a healthier path. I look forward to helping you feel understood, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward lasting well-being in our work together. My journey to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner began by witnessing firsthand the challenges of navigating a complex mental health care system and the stigma attached to seeking help. Because of these experiences, I am dedicated to making mental health care more approachable and supportive for others.

Seeking therapy or counseling can be overwhelming, but reaching out for support in life can lead to positive change. While it’s not possible to change what has happened in the past or things beyond one’s control, I believe that every individual can work toward a better understanding of themselves and learn coping strategies to manage challenges and change. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), CASAC-Advanced Counselor (CASAC-AC), and Certified Anger Management Specialist-II (CAMS-II), I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families to reduce symptoms of distress and build the capability to handle life’s inevitable demands and anxieties. My expertise includes substance use treatment, community residence programs, and private practice, as well as facilitating group and individual sessions with children, adolescents, and families in school and mental health settings. As a therapist, I aim to support you in feeling a sense of relief, if only for a short time, and to explore a deeper understanding of yourself. Such moments are important and extremely valuable. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and based on your individual needs, using a mix of approaches to help you realize these moments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness therapy. At all times, trust that your concerns will be discussed in a safe and judgement-free environment that emphasizes both symptom reduction and skills development to manage life’s inevitable challenges. We’ll work together to help you in identifying and reframing unhelpful thinking patterns, understanding emotional responses, and cultivating the motivation and clarity needed to pursue your personal goals.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and art therapist with nearly 10 years of clinical experience, I aim to provide a space where patients feel supported and empowered to explore behaviors, perception, emotional needs, and day-to-day stressors through the use of verbal and creative processes. I specialize in both talk and art therapy to help pre-teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and encouraging, designed to let you take the lead to encourage healing. I'm passionate about building a strong therapeutic relationship with you, as I believe this is one of the most fundamental parts of healing and therapeutic growth. Working together, you can expect a warm and supportive environment that uses customized talk therapy and creative arts techniques to help explore patterns, build insight, gently challenge thoughts, and empower you to make meaningful changes. I believe in active, person-centered collaboration and building a strong therapeutic relationship, which allows me to be the supportive partner you need to heal. I look forward to working alongside you and providing ongoing support, collaboration, and encouragement in our work together. My path to becoming a therapist started with community work in high school. Multiple groups I was part of gave me the chance to provide several types of 1:1 services for students. Later, I was able to integrate creative arts into those services and witnessed how doing so can foster a space for creative self-expression and further healing for all ages. This experience deepened my commitment to providing creative and therapeutic services, which now allows me to truly meet my patients where they are with an adjustable and open-minded approach.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who began my professional journey after earning my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Adelphi University in 2020. Learning as I went, the Covid-19 pandemic was a real-world experience that only deepened my commitment to helping others find stability and support through life’s challenges. My experience spans hospital, community, agency, school, and private practice settings, where I've facilitated many individual, group, and family psychotherapy sessions. My approach is rooted in warmth, respect, and collaboration, with the goal of creating a space that feels both safe and empowering. I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, chronic stress, life transitions, and much more. I'm always hoping clients will leave their time with me feeling as if they have developed a new set of tools to navigate the world and build towards a brighter, more balanced future. Working with me feels like being supported by a trusted friend—safe, encouraging, and even a little lighthearted. My style is warm, validating, and genuine, incorporating a mix of Mindfulness and psychoeducation to help you feel understood and empowered. At all times, I believe in empathy and respect, as I see therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we’ll work to better understand challenges, explore new perspectives, and create steps toward healing, growth, and lasting change. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by personal experiences, after witnessing those closest to me face their own struggles. These moments deepened my commitment to better understanding human behavior, sociology, and psychology. Now, I enjoy mixing evidence-based treatments along with authenticity and compassion to help patients know they are not alone. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me outside! I love yoga, going to concerts and listening to music, bike riding, paddle boarding, and hanging out at the beach. I also enjoy spending time with my wonderful dog and reading – while savoring a delicious cup of coffee.

You’re ready to take the first step but might feel unsure of where to start or how to move forward—and that’s okay. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions/adjustments, and stress for adults. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and compassionate to help you in a way that best suits your unique journey. Your story matters, and I’m here to listen, understand, and help you uncover the tools and insights you need to thrive. I specialize in creating a sympathetic space where you can feel safe, valued, and free to explore your challenges without judgment. No two journeys are alike, which is why I provide compassionate therapy tailored to your unique needs, using evidence-based approaches to meet you where you are and ensure you always feel truly seen and heard. These approaches may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and humanistic therapy. Trust in me to be your guiding force to support you as you navigate challenges, build strength, and find clarity. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and greater balance. My path to becoming a therapist grew from my own experiences with change and healing, which showed me how transformative genuine support can be. This inspired me to provide compassionate, judgment-free care to those in need of the same healing experience. Now, I am honored to bring empathy, curiosity, and a trauma-informed perspective to each session, helping you feel understood and empowered to navigate your unique journey. Outside of work, I enjoy a wide range of hobbies! I love to read, listen to music, spend time in nature, and travel.

Life can feel messy, confusing, and heavy — but you don’t have to carry it alone. Since beginning my work in the mental health field in 2020, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate anxiety, identity, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I truly believe that no one is “too young” or “too much” to deserve support. Whether I’m helping a child make sense of big feelings, supporting a teen through identity exploration, or guiding a young adult through life’s uncertainties, I approach each person with genuine care and curiosity about their unique story. I know it takes courage to reach out for therapy but I’m here to support you every step of the way. When we work together, you can expect a supportive, collaborative experience tailored to your unique needs and goals. I believe healing and growth happen in spaces where you feel truly safe, understood, and never judged. My role is to be a steady, compassionate presence, someone who walks alongside you, helping you make sense of your experiences while gently encouraging growth at a pace that feels right for you. Depending on your needs, our work may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based strategies, and a variety of other evidence-based techniques. I draw from different approaches so therapy feels personalized and practical, whether we’re building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, or working through anxiety and life transitions. Most importantly, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build confidence, and move toward greater self-acceptance. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way. My path to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. It began after experiencing the profound loss of someone who struggled with their mental health and didn’t receive the support they needed. That loss changed me. It opened my eyes to how vital compassionate, accessible care truly is, and it strengthened my commitment to being someone others can turn to without fear, shame, or judgment. Because of that experience, I don’t take this work lightly. I bring empathy, presence, and deep respect for each person’s story into every session. I understand how hard it can be to ask for help, and I’m dedicated to creating a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and supported as you heal. When I’m not in therapist mode, you’ll probably find me at home with my husband and our adorable (and occasionally very dramatic) cat—who definitely believes the world revolves around her. I love experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes (some are winners … some are learning experiences), creating and scrolling TikToks, and keeping up with all things pop culture. If there’s a new hit series, movie, or viral trend, chances are I have thoughts about it. These little everyday joys keep me grounded, balanced, and connected, which I believe makes me a more present and relatable therapist.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in helping adolescents and adults navigate symptom management and transitional periods associated with depression, anxiety, and life changes. In my care, you are assured of a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space to process present and past stressors, overcome obstacles, and meet goals. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and genuine, as I am passionate about providing the tools and guidance needed for healing and an improved quality of life. Working together, you heal in a safe, collaborative, and restorative environment that is tailored to your goals and background. I believe in individuality and inclusion, a practice that allows me to incorporate your culture and beliefs into your therapy, while my personal experiences with mental health and cultural background ensure a unique perspective and deep empathy for your needs. Throughout treatment, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered strategies to help you build tools to manage presenting issues. I look forward to fostering a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship with you. My path to becoming a therapist was born from my drive to help friends sort through and vent their day-to-day issues. What began as a natural act of compassion quickly made me the “therapist” friend and mediator for advice due to a genuine lack of judgment and neutrality. This experience deepened my commitment to providing nonjudgmental care, where I bring openness and empathy to each session. As a therapist, just as I was a kind ear to friends, I am inspired by the resilience of my patients and their commitment to growth. In my free time, I enjoy reading, checking out the latest shows, and spending quality time with my friends and family. You’ll also see me on the courts practicing my tennis game!

As a trauma-informed and holistic therapist with 5 years of experience in various mental health fields, I help adults/older adults navigate past experiences that continue to shape their present. I'm passionate about working with those struggling with negative patterns and attachment wounds in relationships, anxiety and depression, self-worth, or other stressors and life transitions. I take a warm, collaborative, and insightful approach, helping you heal the deepest parts of yourself and reconnect with your inner and outer world in a balanced and flexible way. If you are ready to embark on your healing journey, cultivate a new self and purpose, and do inner work, then you will find my therapeutic space to be purposeful and strength based. I truly believe in collaboration and trust, which helps me be the best clinician I can be for my patients. I look forward to authentic healing, personal wellness, and deeper connections in our work together. When working with me, you can expect a therapist who dives beneath the surface to discover the root of your concerns. I primarily take a psychodynamic approach, combined with evidence-based modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for deep insight and practical tools. My style is warm, inquisitive, and integrative, as no unique individual is one-size-fits-all. Above all else, I am committed to walking alongside you in the difficult yet transformative moments of your life, and look forward to the authentic healing, personal wellness, and deeper connection in our work together. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own life experiences combined with a passion for all things psychology starting from an early age. This passion built my pillars of care – collaboration and trust, which helped me be the best clinician I can be for you and all my patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my fiancé, family, and friends, including my two cats, who are my best buddies! I’m also a huge foodie who loves to try new restaurants and cuisines, as well as travel, exercise (in the gym or outside in nature), and binge watch my favorite nerdy movies and TV shows.

Are you struggling with relationships, trauma, or self-compassion? As humans, we want to connect and feel a sense of safety, security, and curiosity about ourselves and the world around us. Together we can work to overcome past hurt and present-day anxieties to build stronger connections and live more fully. As a relational therapist, my goal is to build a genuine, collaborative relationship with my clients where we work together to explore experiences, set meaningful goals, and experiment with new ways being. I use a blend of methodologies tailored to each client's needs, drawing from training in EMDR, IFS, Gottman, EFT, AEDP, and Somatic approaches. I enjoy drawing from a social justice and intersectional lens which pairs well with my interpersonal and conversational style. Let’s talk about where you are in your journey and how we can work together to achieve your goals.

Every individual has a unique set of strengths and experiences. Making home, school and work happy, safe and successful requires harnessing existing skills, building new strengths, and carefully navigating challenges. I bring a holistic approach to helping foster positive social, emotional, and behavioral well-being across settings. Through my work with children, young adults, parents, school staff, and therapeutic providers, I understand the nuances necessary for successful growth. I offer a safe and trusting environment, where clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are impacting their lives and make intentional changes to achieve their goals. I bring extensive counseling and assessment experience. In addition to private therapy, I have extensive experience working with grades K-12 through school-based mental health counseling centers and special education programs designed for students who need additional learning, emotional, and / or behavioral supports.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I help diverse populations from various cultural, socioeconomic, and spiritual backgrounds navigate a wide range of stressors. I work particularly well with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating life transitions, identity development, self-esteem, stress/anxiety, trauma, and loneliness. My own experience with an amazing therapist taught me the value of providing sensitive, compassionate care. That’s why it remains my mission to offer a safe, supportive space for every patient, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks, to ensure everyone feels seen. If you are feeling overwhelmed or “stuck in a rut,” or need support in reconnecting with your life/life purpose, then please reach out today to start your healing journey. It takes courage to ask for support, and I applaud you for taking that step. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen deeply and offer guidance and tools that will help you navigate life’s challenges. I create a space where you can be your authentic self, free from shame or criticism. Working with me is safe, collaborative, and like having a “professional friend.” Whether you’re looking to work through specific challenges or simply want to understand yourself better, I provide the compassionate, open-minded, and client-centered approach that helps you achieve your goals. I utilize a mix of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an overall holistic view of healthcare to personalize treatment, steering clear of clinical coldness and accepting you exactly where you are. Working together, you’ll achieve self-discovery, healing, and growth so you can lead a more fulfilling life. At the young age of 13, I required emergency heart surgery, an event that shaped my future in unexpected ways. At that time, I felt like I had nobody I could talk to about how anxious I was, and most doctors dismissed my concerns because I was young. This experience started me on the path to becoming a therapist, deepening my commitment to making sure that all of my patients feel respected, engaged, and listened to. I want you to know that you are not broken and that you have everything you need within yourself to heal and thrive. I consider myself a lifetime learner and am always looking for ways to improve myself and the world around me. Whether I’m reading, writing, listening to music, watching movies and documentaries, hanging out with friends and family, or exploring new restaurants and places, I’m embarking on my pursuit of making the most out of every chapter of my life!
