Cheryl Etu
Licensed in New York and Massachusetts- I bring 20 years of experience working with college students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Together, I've helped students navigate unexpected life changes, feelings of grief and loss, anger, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, spiritual questions, identity exploration and trauma as well as the many other complex emotions and challenges that life can bring. No matter what has brought you to this place, my goal is to build a trusting and supportive relationship where we can explore your experience, your strengths and your motivation for change. I take a wholehearted approach to your psychological, emotional and relational well-being, and I seek to honor your whole person by exploring the integrated aspects of your environment and other important factors that have played an active role in shaping your exterior and interior life. Together we will pursue deeper questions and connections related to your whole self including your emotional and physical health, your history, your relationships, your work, your habits and your interests among the other dimensions that make you uniquely you. Currently, I offer licensed mental health therapy through confidential Telehealth, an alternative to in-person therapy that helps you save time, money and energy while providing opportunities for you to make progress and achieve significant milestones. I look forward to being part of this first, courageous step towards change and helping you become the best version of you.

Donna Wolfskehl DiStefano
I know it can be scary to reach out when many things seem unclear. However, I can shed light on what you are going through. Common approaches can help someone cope on a moment-to-moment basis. Meanwhile, layers of your experience can still necessitate insight and healing. A good relational space allows open dialogue and collaboration over your life situation, bringing about positive change, insight into your needs, decisions or ambivalences. I have had a career of helping many people in tough moments while providing a safe and empathic environment. I enjoy and commit to making a difference for people dealing with trauma, depression and anxiety. Moreso, my clients often feel they have someone in kinship to their journey. This provides a renewed sense of comfort, wholeness and understanding to their lives.

Amy Corwin
Hi, I have been in private practice for the past seven years. Before that I worked in junior-senior high schools, mainly in Rochester, NY. I have worked with many clients with anxiety and depression and have helped many teens stop self-harming behaviors. I have also worked with several college students on dealing with the stressors in their lives as well as trouble with procrastination and organization. I feel that I am relaxed, laid back, and a good listener.
Richard Koch, PsyD
Therapy provides a space for you to process difficult feelings and situations. As a therapist, I help patients explore new ways of engaging with the world and with themselves. My goal is for patients to translate insights and skills into noticeable changes in their lives. My style balances pragmatism, humor, compassion, and curiosity. I treat a range of concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, alcohol/substance use, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I draw on a range of theoretical approaches, emphasizing rootedness in the present moment and interpersonal connection.

CB Mental Health Counseling, PLLC
Hi, I'm Courtney. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment of safety, curiosity, discovery, and courage for everyone seeking therapeutic services and I look forward to collaborating with people in creative ways to reach therapeutic goals. I strongly believe in the power of strength-based and client-centered practice and am devoted to creating opportunities for the people around me to achieve their own goals and exceed their own expectations for success. I show up as myself in the therapy room – integrating humor, storytelling, and metaphors. My holistic approach allows for clients to grow and learn more about themselves in new ways. Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone to help you gain perspective and understanding of your emotions, coping skills, and relational patterns. I recognize that therapy is a healing process, not a quick fix. I focus on the therapeutic relationship as a tool for helping you grow and heal at your own pace, and in a way that feels right for you. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Currently, my clients are primarily young adults. I hope that through working together, you can find self-compassion, curiosity, and healing through enriching your life and relationships. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have 7 years of experience. I have a Masters’ degree in Counseling Psychology from The University of Denver, as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from The State University of New York, at Oswego. I have lived in many beautiful states during my schooling and training from New York, to North Carolina, Colorado, New Jersey, and finally back to my hometown of Buffalo, New York. I love spending time with my family, friends, and dog. I love to spend time outdoors, ski, listen to music, cook new recipes, and travel. I am accepting new clients at this time, via telehealth services. I am an out-of-networker provider. I can provide you with a statement at the end of each month that you can submit for reimbursement. I look forward to meeting with you.

Susanna Guarino
I'm a zen practicing therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their most authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, acceptance and presence connect us to who we really are, and who we can become. Along the journey, I've played a lot of music (with friends, in bands) and become a therapist. I wrote an album while in grad school and took a year off after grad school to play shows and work at a record store. I believe it's OK to have multiple passions, to want to do a lot of things, to use your voice, and to take your time figuring it all out. In our work together, I want to help you tap into your own creativity and inner wisdom while also drawing from evidence-based modalities to help you live a purposeful life, deepen your relationships, and reach your goals as a couple or as an individual. LGBTQI affirming. Puedo hablar contigo un poco de español, pero no puedo hablar con fluencia.

Sue Peters
College life brings a lot of new experiences and pressure. I help students who are dealing with stress, grief, loss, or tough transitions find calm and confidence again. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of experience. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and focused on what can help you feel better. Whether you're grieving someone, feeling homesick, overwhelmed by school, or just trying to adjust, therapy can give you space to breathe and sort things out.
Cardinal Hope and Healing LLC
Welcome. I'm Andrea Jackson, LICSW, LCSW, PMH-C, a virtual therapist supporting college students and young adults across New York, Washington, DC, Virginia, Vermont, and Utah. The college years and early stages of adulthood can be exciting, but they can also bring stress, anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness, relationship challenges, academic pressure, and uncertainty about the future. You may feel overwhelmed by expectations, struggle with perfectionism, or find yourself questioning who you are and where you're headed. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and develop tools to navigate these challenges with greater confidence. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll explore what is contributing to your distress, build practical coping strategies, strengthen self-awareness, and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I draw from evidence-based approaches to help clients manage anxiety, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. As a Black woman therapist and first-generation college graduate, I understand some of the unique challenges that can arise when balancing academic goals, family expectations, cultural identity, and personal growth. I strive to provide culturally responsive, affirming care where you feel respected, supported, and able to show up as your authentic self. Whether you're adjusting to college, preparing for graduation, navigating a career transition, managing a difficult relationship, coping with grief, or simply trying to find your footing, you don't have to figure it all out alone. I would be honored to support you in building a life that feels more balanced, connected, and aligned with your values.
Verna Yin
I use a relational, psychodynamic, and CBT-informed approach that helps clients understand patterns, build insight, and create meaningful change. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families in navigating anxiety, mood concerns, life transitions, family dynamics, and relationship challenges. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where clients feel understood, challenged, and supported. I am an MHC-LP with clinical experience in private practice, inpatient, and hospital settings. I earned my M.Ed. and M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University, as well as a B.S. in Cognitive Psychology from Vanderbilt University. My training has helped me develop a thoughtful, adaptable, and clinically grounded foundation.
Sofia Riffaud
If anxiety, relationship conflict, or adjusting to being a college student or soon-to-be graduate are weighing you down, you don’t have to go through it alone. Many of my clients feel stuck, unheard, or overwhelmed by responsibilities before coming to therapy. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of self. I specialize in helping college students navigate anxiety, self-esteem struggles, and relationship stress. Using practical strategies (CBT, mindfulness, family systems) alongside deep relational work, I’ll support you in breaking old patterns and creating lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and focused on insight and action. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, structural & family systems approaches to help you understand patterns, build coping tools, and create more balance.

If you're done with the people-pleasing and want to feel more at ease, I’m accepting new clients in New York and Connecticut (online only). I accept multiple insurances and can provide a superbill if I am out-of-network with your insurance. Call or email today to schedule your free 15-minute consultation—let’s see if we’re a good fit.

Hannah DeWeerd
In the role of therapist, my initial priority is creating the safety and familiarity that is crucial to do real work together. I look at the therapeutic process as an opportunity to work with the person coming to me in need of support, and tackle their issues as a team. I bring a nonjudgmental, open-minded approach to my clients and emphasize the importance of clients feeling secure enough to say anything they need to in the space we curate together. My approach has an emphasis on self-compassion and becoming in tune with your emotions and body. In today’s world, it is easier than ever to become disconnected from your body and feelings. My hope is that we can work together to reintegrate your inner wisdom to your conscious level of awareness.
Alexa Nolan
With a strong foundation in community mental health, I work with teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, major life transitions, and the impacts of chronic stress, relational wounds, and identity-shaping experiences. No matter what you’re facing, I aim to provide a steady, clear, and attuned space where you don’t have to perform. The people I work with want to understand themselves more deeply, strengthen their emotional regulation, and make choices that reflect their values and priorities. My role is to help you slow down, identify patterns, build emotional capacity, and move toward change in a way that is sustainable and self-assured. I believe in care that is clear, collaborative, and grounded in each person's lived experience, which allows me to be a steady and attuned partner in the therapeutic process. I look forward to supporting you as you build insight, strengthen regulation, and make shifts that reflect your goals and priorities. I’m passionate about helping you understand your patterns, strengthen regulation skills, and make choices that reflect your values and priorities. We achieve this together in a calm and clinically focused environment with work that is structured, attuned, and clinically grounded. Skill building and motivational interviewing, along with emotion-regulation work informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and narrative techniques, are central to how I help you strengthen regulation, deepen insight, and make more intentional decisions. My style is direct and attuned, and I tailor treatment to your unique clinical needs, history, and identity context. My path to becoming a therapist began in community mental health, where I worked with individuals and families navigating complex stressors, limited resources, and high-pressure environments. Those early experiences shaped how I understand people, systems, and identity, and strengthened my commitment to providing care that is clear, grounded, and responsive. Now, I bring a strong developmental lens, a direct presence, and a deep awareness of how identity and lived experience influence the way people move through the world. Painting and strength training are two of my favorite ways to spend time. I love listening to classic literature, especially the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Kate Chopin, whose attention to atmosphere, psychology, and interior life resonates with how I think about people and their stories. Creative digital projects that let me play with design, symbolism, and storytelling round out my interests.
