Therapists for college students near New York University

Welcome! Each individual's journey is unique. As a therapist, I assist my clients in growing into the best version of themselves. I am inspired by every individual's ability to be self aware, vulnerable and resilient. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and mindfulness-based interventions. I graduated from the University of Rochester with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working in non-profit mental health clinic settings serving children, teens and young adults. My expertise includes anxiety, depression, grief/loss, stress management, relationship difficulties, adjusting to life transitions, interpersonal skill development, and self-esteem building. We will work to build a strong therapeutic relationship, and to together determine the goals you wish to accomplish throughout your therapeutic journey. Each time we meet, we work collaboratively to process any past or current stressors that may be impacting your ability to be your best self. As your therapist, I will work at your desired pace but I will also guide and challenge you as needed. I value a strong therapeutic relationship and come to every session with warmth, compassion and high energy (and there's always time for a good laugh as well)!​

As a psychologist, I partner with clients to help them heal from raw emotional pain, recognize their inner strengths, and build resiliency in the face of life’s biggest challenges. My style is one that is warm and nurturing while also direct and honest. If you’re feeling stuck, not good enough, lonely, overwhelmed, devastated, or ashamed, you are not alone. I have dedicated my career to learning gold standard treatments to ensure that when clients have the courage to reach out for help, I am able to offer treatment interventions that they can trust will make a difference. I am a clinical specialist with expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, depression, complicated grief (suicide loss, perinatal loss), and unwanted sexual experiences (rape, sexual assault, harassment, violence). I began practicing in 2005 and have been a licensed psychologist since 2010.

Welcome to my private practice located both virtually and in person in Princeton across from the University. I am also licensed to see students in New York and Florida. My practice is evidence based grounded in research on best practices for addressing Anxiety and OCD. I treat all forms of anxiety, provide comprehensive assessments for OCD, anxiety & ADHD, as well as providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including exposure therapy, ERP & Inferential ICBT for OCD. My expertise spans beyond anxiety and OCD to include related mood, sleep, stress time and task planning, motivation, productivity, eating/appetite and ADHD, OCD, ASD/neurodiversity and perfectionism. I focus on you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or label. I am dedicated to offering you a supportive space to explore your concerns as well as practical evidence based tools and strategies for managing your symptoms. I have been a counselor & therapist in academic spaces for over 20 years including at Princeton University, NYU, Columbia University, The Julliard School, Parson's School of Design and the University of South Florida. Students have described me as warm, proactive, caring and engaged. Prior to becoming an OCD and Anxiety specialist, I specialized in working with actors, performing and visual artists, composers, musicians and writer's in NYC. I focus on you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or label. I am dedicated to offering you a supportive space to explore your concerns as well as practical evidence based tools and strategies for managing your symptoms. I partner with you to draw upon your strengths, welcoming to people from varying cultural and religious backgrounds, lifestyles and belief systems. My practice is LGBTQIA friendly and inviting. I also provide therapy, consultation and assessment for children ages 6 and up related to OCD, Anxiety and learning challenges, as well as coaching for parents and couples dealing with anxiety, ADHD and OCD.

Students who find me most helpful are often trying to figure out who they are as separate but connected to their parents and family. I especially love working with first gen and immigrant students because I am both. I have lived and worked on four continents and English is actually not my first language, so students who are navigating intercultural issues also find it easy to connect with me. In terms of the kinds of issues students work with me on, it includes: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship worries, fear of failure, and self esteem. I look forward to hearing from you!

I’m a good fit for students who get trapped in their head—overthinking everything, replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like they can’t relax unless everything is “handled.” You might be high-achieving, but constantly stressed, exhausted, or scared of messing up. Sometimes that turns into procrastination, avoidance, or feeling numb. In therapy, we’ll focus on helping you calm the mental noise, handle stress more effectively, and build confidence in your choices—so school and life don’t feel like a constant emergency.

I believe each of us has our own unique strengths, needs, and personality. I have worked with a wide variety of people who present with a wide range of personal struggles (anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, etc.). I have found that by being my true self, it allows others the space to do the same. I will incorporate various therapeutic techniques depending on your personal goals and comfort level. My goal is to empower you while fostering self-awareness, emotional growth, and positive change. 'The path to self-discovery is not a straight line. It's a zigzag." By Alicia Keys.

My main focus are patients with trauma history and those currently suffering with anxiety and/or depression. I also work with those who are experiencing significant life changes, and those who are exploring their identity, values, and meaning of life.

Although I am a licensed therapist with 30+ years mental health experience, my counseling practice is designed for people looking for a different approach, rather than traditional therapy. I offer life mentoring, which is a mix of counseling, coaching, psychotherapy, spirituality, and the expressive arts. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I help clients process their past, learn how to live more fully in the present, and carve a path toward a dynamic, enjoyable future. Life mentoring is a wisdom tradition that leads to life transformation. My practice is very casual and easy-going, nothing clinical. I teach the practices outlined in my book: “The Living Stress Free Bible: 20 Techniques to Make Your Life Less Stressful.” I send summaries of each session to each client, with my insights and suggested resources/homework. Schedule a session with me in our peaceful office space located in Rochester’s Upper East End, or on Zoom. I would love to help you on your personal journey toward happiness and inner peace. Pricing is based on duration of the session. Insurance is not accepted.

I believe in hope, love, equality, equity, inclusion, and kindness. I also believe in science, accountability, and the impact that trauma has on our functioning. In my practice, I feel comfortable addressing any differences in gender, race, and ethnicity with my clients and the impact that these might have on the working relationship and overall treatment. Many of my clients come to me because they're starting to realize certain things they've experienced when they were younger, or even recently, are starting to have a negative impact on their lives, their ability be happy, and their ability to form new and healthy relationships. My practice focuses on working with those who are ready to address those experiences.

Hi! I'm Bernadette and I am a licensed clinical social worker and I received my MSW from Columbia University. I use a variety of clinical modalities rooted in CBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing and problem solving therapy. I have experience in working with issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, loss and grief, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, poverty, sexuality and gender, and stress management. My approach to therapy is guided by the firm belief that the strength of the therapist-client relationship is the most important element of successful treatment. Together, we will navigate the obstacles through a foundation of trust, transparency and maybe even some humor. I enjoy working with motivated clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives and I am committed to making this process as supportive as possible. I am committed to decreasing the barriers to mental health services and due to this, my practice is 100% virtual. Having this option allows us to build a strong therapeutic relationship where we are actively working on both short and long terms goals each time we meet. I will offer you real feedback rather than silent nods!

It's not your fault. College is demanding & society rewards overworking. It can feel impossible to slow down & practice self-care when you're overwhelmed & nothing you do feels like it's enough. You deserve better. Let's work together to help you heal, unlearn society's b.s. rules, re-calibrate your nervous system so you can step into your power to create and enjoy your life!

I come with passions for working with the neurodivergent population (specifically with ADHD and Autism and unpacking a late realization), providing gender-affirming care, sex-positive counseling, disordered eating, and body image, managing and processing chronic illness, and identity work through a trauma-informed and all-inclusive perspective. As a queer, neurodiverse counselor, my experience has offered me perspectives from within the community and has given me a passion for advocacy, connection, and collaboration. While I come with passion in these areas, my work goes beyond these areas. I believe that every individual and their needs deserve space in the therapeutic setting and it is my goal to create a space.

Therapy is about YOU and your goals. Clients come to therapy seeking empathic support but also concrete skills to improve their lives. I provide non-judgmental and thoughtful support for teens and adults managing depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms that disrupt their lives. Clients are able to find connection in therapy and apply strategies to find more joy throughout their daily relationships with themselves and others. I empower clients to harness their courage in facing past and present losses, traumas, and stressors so that they no longer feel trapped or controlled by their experiences.
