Therapists for college students near New York University

The decision to seek psychotherapy is a life-changing choice. Whether you are seeking therapy to address a specific concern or simply to engage in a personal exploration, the therapeutic process can help increase self-awareness, process trauma, improve your relationships with others and with yourself, identify healthier coping skills, and improve your overall well-being. I want to hear your story and help you live the life you want for yourself. I take a holistic, person-centered approach considering all aspects - mental, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual - when caring for my patients. My style is warm, interactive and collaborative and I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where healing and growth can take place. Choosing a therapist is a personal decision and one to be considered with great care.

College can be exciting and full of possibility, but it can also feel heavy. You might be juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, or questions about who you are and who you want to be. Maybe you’re feeling misunderstood, burned out, or carrying experiences from earlier in life that still show up in the present. Whatever you’re facing, you deserve a place where you don’t have to hold it all together. That’s where I come in. I offer a space where you can slow down, be honest, and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. We’ll work together to make sense of your stress, your relationships, and the parts of your story that feel confusing or overwhelming. My goal is to help you build clarity, confidence, and coping skills that actually fit your life. If you’re curious about whether we’re a good match, you’re welcome to schedule a 15-minute consultation so we can figure it out together. You deserve support that feels grounding and real, and I’m here to help you get started.

I specialize in supporting students who find the balance of social life, academics, and transitioning into adulthood to be challenging. Many of the students I work with experience social anxiety, struggles with self-confidence, or have ADHD. I also help students navigate the complexities of learning to live independently and building a fulfilling, self-directed life.

Hello! My name is Abigayle Bennett, but you can call me Abi. I am in my second year of my Master’s of Social Work at Binghamton University and hold an Associate’s in Human Services and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Education. I have been working in children’s and family services for the majority of my career, and hope to eventually open a Child and Family Development Center and offer an inclusive space for families to seek tools and resources to improve their family’s mental well-being. I specialize in areas such as anxiety, mood disorders, parenting and family issues, relationships, self-esteem, self-harm, lgbtq+ youth, and domestic/sexual abuse. I strive to create a laid-back, open, and approachable environment in our sessions. I understand that starting therapy can be daunting, but I aim to make our therapeutic relationship as comfortable and supportive as possible. My goal is to be someone you feel at ease talking to so that you can freely share and explore your thoughts and feelings. I know how intimidating it can be to bare your soul to a stranger, so I want to work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship so we can tackle your needs as a team. I firmly believe that mental health has to start from a sort of ground-up perspective. In order to control your feelings, emotions, and reactions, you have to understand them and be able to respond to them using tools that meet you where you’re at. I practice primarily using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, attachment theory, and family systems theory. In our sessions, we will use an eclectic mix of various therapeutic frameworks to best meet your needs. In session, this may look like guided meditations, processing past traumas, exploring family dynamics, and cognitive reprogramming techniques. By utilizing a mix of modalities, we can work together to find ways to best respond to the difficulties and struggles you may be facing, and hopefully overall improve your quality of life.

On the outside, it might look like you’re keeping things together—classes, sports, work, relationships—but inside you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like something just isn’t feeling right. I work with college students and student-athletes who are navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and past experiences that continue to show up in the present. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and find practical ways to feel more grounded and steady again. A lot of my work focuses on grief, loss, and unresolved experiences, using EMDR to help process what feels stuck alongside strategies for structure, motivation, and balance. You don’t need the right words or a clear explanation to start—just a sense that something has been weighing on you. Therapy can be a space to sort through it and move forward at a pace that feels manageable. Availability is flexible in evenings and on weekends.

We conduct executive functioning coaching to neurodiverse college students or those struggling with organization, time management, coursework, and other aspects of college life. We also provide comprehensive individual evaluations for ADHD, Dyslexia, and other learning and/or mental health disorders.

Hi, I'm Lisa Grine, MSN, APN, PMHNP-BC Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for College Students What Students Say About Me "Great listener, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted." Years of Experience 10 years+ My Approach I'm both warm and direct—able to match whatever you need in that moment. Sometimes that means sitting with you quietly and listening. Other times it means telling you what I see, even when it's hard to hear. Our sessions are structured conversations, not free-flowing chats. I believe that clarity helps. What I Work With Most • Anxiety, mood concerns,(mental health during prenatal, during pregnancy, and postpartum needs), and depression to name a few • High-achieving students experiencing burnout and life transitions • Young adults-both undergrad and graduate students How I Work Often, college students feel forced to choose between success and wellbeing — but together, we can find a way to balance both! I take a holistic approach to care, which means looking at the whole person, not just symptoms. And let's be honest, it's no surprise that college life can throw our health off track — skipping fresh air, surviving on less-than-ideal food, and running on questionable amounts of sleep are basically a rite of passage. Integrative and Holistic care also means honoring your religious beliefs, ethics, morals, and value systems, because those things genuinely shape who you are. I offer medications when clinically appropriate, but my focus goes far beyond that. Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I understand the intensity of acute care as well as the importance of building sustainable, everyday coping strategies that actually fit your life. Who I'm Best Suited For I tend to connect well with women, men, and provide mental health support for women who are pregnant, peri/postpartum. I am strictly telehealth and so if someone needs a stimulant or controlled substance I can recommend providers who are in person or hybrid to match those needs based on current laws and restrictions. I'm upfront about this because I believe matching matters. If you are in any acute danger please seek emergency care first as this practice is outpatient. If you're looking for a provider who shares certain values or experiences, that can make a difference in how comfortable you feel. The last Saturday of the month, I am open to accommodate your schedule if needed in the mornings.

This practice aims to provide you with opportunities to heal yourself through taking a holistic approach to mental health care considering your mind, emotions, body and spirit.

You’ve been surviving, but now it’s time to start thriving. If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you’re becoming, you’re in the right place. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can process what’s been weighing on you and begin to navigate life’s challenges with compassion and care. I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and life transitions. Together, we’ll focus on building self-awareness, confidence, and practical coping skills to support your emotional well-being and overall growth. My approach integrates person-centered, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and solution-focused techniques, tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re adjusting to college life, managing stress, or exploring your identity, therapy can help you move toward greater balance, clarity, and fulfillment.

Your feelings matter and sometimes it is not easy to talk about them. I provide a safe non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions, difficulties and experiences regarding uncertainty, stress, relationships, depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I will be there to listen, support and challenge you through those transitions. Starting at our initial session and continuing, my goal is to provide a welcoming environment which allows you get comfortable to share your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Let us work together to accomplish your goals and get you where you want to be.

Life so far has been fairly manageable. However, you are now experiencing emotions you have never experienced before. Life has changed for better or worse, and you are finding it difficult to cope and comprehend your reaction. It is hard to pinpoint what you are feeling, and it may make it difficult to communicate to the ones you love. Perhaps a specific memory has come up for you and you are taken by surprise. Why is this happening now? You want answers. You want to gain a better understanding of what you are experiencing and how to move forward. My passion lies in helping others build confidence, find their voice, and connect to what matters most within as they navigate the many twists and unexpected turns life may present itself with. It is a great honor to be welcomed into the sharing of one's unique life experiences. I truly enjoy walking alongside the individuals I have the pleasure of working with on their journey to gaining a better understanding of themselves and what they want out of life. If this resonates with you, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
