Therapists for college students near New York University
Krystal Haas
Welcome! I'm Krystal Haas, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). You may see letters next to the names you find on your search, like LCSW, PsyD, or LMHC, and so on. Looking for a therapist can be a daunting and confusing task, so first I'd like to congratulate you on taking your first step. I'm hoping I can make it a little easier by sharing about myself and how I may be able to help you reach your goals. In my case, as an LMHC, my master's degree education was geared specifically to counseling and learning all of the skills necessary to work directly with people. I've been working for about 5 years now as a clinician, and started my private practice at the end of 2022 - one of the best decisions I've ever made! I work with a variety of ages including kids, teens, and young adults, and I often work with individuals who are struggling with the transition to college and/or adulthood. If you've been experiencing anxiety, depression, changes in mood, identity exploration, stress, or problems with "adulting", then we may be a good match! I use methods like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and eclectic methods, but that may all sound like gibberish. Essentially, I take an educational and supportive approach by listening to your concerns and needs, and then working with you to establish a way to reach your goals. Even if we don't have all the answers right away, it can help to know you have someone on your team to listen. If this sounds up your alley, you're more than welcome to reach out by phone or email to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I hope to connect, and wish you best of luck on your search!

I love to work with individuals and couples in a solution focused way where I can support them as well as provide feedback and tools to help navigate towards each person's personal goals. I love to engage with people during sessions and to make sure that they feel comfortable being their authentic selves without any reservations or fear of judgement. I have a wide range of experience in a variety of mental health concerns and especially love working with people managing the stressors of any relationships, dating, marriage, anxiety, life changes and life adjustments. I want to make sure that anyone who sees me feels they are benefiting from therapy and working towards a better quality of life.

Dr. Anna Vinicombe
Many people enter therapy concerned that they will have to make dramatic changes in their lives to find relief. I believe that therapy is not dramatically changing who we are, but rather looking at how our perceptions of ourselves and others create unfulfilling experiences. I think my role as a therapist is to work with each individual to identify their strengths and enhance what is already working for them while examining the patterns that keep them from living life to its fullest. In my experience as a therapist I have helped many children, adolescents and adults overcome sever anxiety and depression and long-standing relationship issues. I also have expertise with families struggling with ongoing divorce and custody issues. I draw from several modalities of therapy, fitting the intervention with the needs of the individual.
The Hope Center

Justin Dainer-Best
As a clinical psychologist, I specialize in work with depression, difficulties relating to trauma and anxiety, and with gender identity and sexuality. My goal is to help you to feel less suffering and to experience a more fulfilling life. A good experience in therapy involves both psychologist and patient. Together, we'll focus on the impacts of low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, or whatever is getting in the way of your life—and how to help you to overcome these obstacles. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with a variety of concerns, as well as with those who are GNC or queer. In my clinical work, I use evidence-based practices for conditions such as major depressive disorder, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In my academic role at Bard College, I study and teach on the impacts of mood disorders, trauma, and depressive thought. (I do not usually see current Bard College students who may take psychology classes.)

Kayla Cunningham
Hi, I’m Kayla Cunningham! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and for the past 10 years, I’ve been helping people work through life’s challenges and changes. College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming — juggling classes, friendships, family expectations, and figuring out what’s next isn’t always easy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever’s on your mind, without judgment. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, big transitions, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to meet you where you’re at and help you find tools and strategies that actually fit your life. I believe the relationship we build is one of the most important parts of counseling. I’ll take the time to get to know you, understand what you’re going through, and adjust my approach to what you need — because there’s no one “right” way to do this.

During your life, you may experience difficult periods of adjustment related to major life changes and/or losses, difficulty in relationships, and/or cultural/social differences in environmental contexts. These periods in your life may lead to or be related to general difficulty coping with life circumstance, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. I provide a holistic approach to working with clients striving to understand them from an intrapsychic, interpersonal, and sociocultural perspective. In working with you, I endeavor to understand how your personality, relationships, and sociocultural identities and environmental contexts interact to affect your psychological functioning and wellbeing. Personal development through counseling/psychotherapy comes from feeling secure in a relational context to explore one's issues. Primary to this process is the establishment of a nurturing therapeutic relationship/alliance. In establishing a safe environment, I will assist you in experiencing more satisfying attitudes, relationships, and feeling more empowered. A major aspect of my work involves understanding how racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity affects one's psychosocial functioning. Understanding your sociocultural identities and how they inform and affect your life assists me in determining what interventions and techniques will be most appropriate for you.

Lauren Miceli
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Buffalo Integrative Psychology, PLLC. I believe that every person has an innate ability to heal, change, and grow when provided with a safe and supportive environment. Together, one of our goals will be to increase your self-awareness, identify your current struggles, and explore what might be getting in the way of change. This will help us journey to a heightened understanding so you can take the necessary steps to live a more fulfilled life. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work to see, understand, and integrate all aspects of you, your environment, and your experiences to move toward healthy functioning. I often incorporate mindfulness into my work to help us get into touch with your experience in the here and now and to help you navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I am warm, authentic, empathic, and curious. I understand just how hard it can be to start the process of therapy, and I will do everything I can to help you feel comfortable.

Meghan Keetley
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that aren't serving you, or disconnected from yourself or the people around you, you're not alone. Many of the patients I work with are searching for relief, clarity, and a greater sense of control. They want to feel more confident in their decisions, more at peace in their bodies and minds, and better equipped to handle daily stressors without becoming emotionally flooded. Some are also looking to rebuild self-trust and develop a healthier relationship with food, their body, and the people in their lives. As a Mental Health Counselor-Limited Permit (MHC-LP), my work centers on helping adolescents and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, OCD, disordered eating, and the challenges that come with major life transitions. That said, people at all stages of life are welcome here. My goal is to support you in creating lasting, meaningful change by helping you understand your patterns, build practical coping tools, and move toward a life that feels more stable and aligned with your values. Compassionate, authentic, and collaborative care is at the heart of everything I do. Creating a space where you feel genuinely supported and understood isn't just a goal; it's a commitment I bring to every session. We'll work together in an environment that is grounded and nonjudgmental, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and integrative, person-centered approaches to help you reduce anxiety, manage OCD patterns, and reconnect with a greater sense of balance in both mind and body. I'm especially passionate about the connection between mental and physical well-being, and supporting you in finding more freedom from anxious thinking, compulsive patterns, and self-criticism. Every aspect of our work is tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals, because there's no single path forward that works for everyone. My path to becoming a therapist began in pediatric oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering, where I supported children and families through cancer treatment. This experience shaped my passion for providing compassionate, steady care in moments of distress. I later worked in a school setting providing crisis intervention for children and young adults with complex emotional and behavioral needs. Over the past two years, I have worked in eating disorder treatment, supporting adolescents and young adults in building a more supportive relationship with food, body image, and emotional wellbeing. I also have experience providing trauma-focused care, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), to support clients in processing and healing from traumatic experiences. These experiences inform my trauma-informed, collaborative approach to care. I aim to help clients feel grounded, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change. When I'm not in session, I'm usually moving my body for enjoyment, catching a movie, or exploring a new coffee spot. Music is a big part of my life, whether that's listening at home or going to live concerts. Traveling, discovering new places, spending time with family and friends, and relaxing at the beach are some of my favorite ways to recharge.
