Therapists for college students near New York, NY
A Key Therapy
A Key Therapy is a group practice of licensed, mindfulness-based therapists ā most of us social workers ā working with students and young adults through secure telehealth. We see what tends to surface during college and the years right after: anxiety humming under a full schedule, depression, burnout, grief, relationship and family stress, identity questions, and the transitions that come with starting, pausing, or finishing school. Mindfulness-based therapy is our specialty, not a side offering ā our clinicians pair evidence-based treatment with mindfulness practice so you spend less energy white-knuckling hard feelings and more learning to meet them with steadiness. Starting therapy can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. You don't need the right words or a tidy story to begin. Reach out and we'll answer your questions and match you with the clinician who's the right fit. Licensed in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia. Individual and group sessions, telehealth statewide.

Shayda Ewalt Therapy
Welcome! Im Shayda- Healing from trauma isn't something we're meant to do alone. When we safely reconnect with our nervous system with the support of an attuned therapist, therapy can be deeply powerful. I use trauma therapies like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing to help you process pain and find lasting relief. I work with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support survivors of sexual assault, toxic relationships, and those facing depression, anxiety, panic, or suicidal thoughts. Through this work, we can reprocess the past and create lasting healing and wholeness in your life. As a feminist, trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being. I offer culturally sensitive care that honors your lived experience - creating a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood. My priority is building safety and trust. I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation - I'd love to connect!

Dr. Laura Anderson
I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even āoverthinkersā who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one common theme throughout is a need for self-care and self-love. My job is to facilitate self-care and coping in a way that brings a client contentment and joy. I want clients to look forward to their sessions with me as a time to attend to their own emotional needs, learn, grow, and develop. They want a safe space with unconditional support to work through and - importantly - find feasible solutions to their unique problems. I am known for my blend of personalized, positive/strengths-based, creative, and feasible cognitive behavior therapies. My clients have commented on my blend of warmth and support along with behavioral strategies. I offer evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies with a special focus on positive psychology and strengths-based health promotion. Finally, you will hear me say that this is a real relationship that should feel healing. Connection is important. I strive to provide the very best therapy and customer service to my clients. I want you to feel like my only client. I want you to feel comfortable and safe, and I will be present with you and use creative strategies- individualized to you - to meet your needs and help you feel better **the rest of the time, when you are not with me**. I want to empower. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/laura-m-anderson-williamsville-ny/800284 https://www.vagaro.com/lauraandersonphdlicensedpsychologist

Danielle Strahan
I specialize in helping children and adults manage mood disorders, supporting individuals through major life changes, and assisting those dealing with depression, low energy, general anxiety, and social anxiety. I also work with clients facing challenges related to ADHD, panic attacks, and other mental health concerns. Additionally, I have experience helping clients with personality disorders develop healthy behaviors, enabling them to feel more comfortable and confident in themselves. Personal Philosophy: Mental health IS health and should be prioritized just as highly as physical health concerns like an injury or illness. If medication can help you feel like your best self, it could be a beneficial treatment option. However, medication may not be the solution for all mental health struggles. I love partnering with my patients to create a treatment plan that fits their personal needs. Whether that involves medication or focuses on other important areas like improving diet, sleep, and exercise, my goal is to empower each person to take control of their mental health journey.

Orange Tree Mental Health
Feeling like you need a safe space? Maybe you've felt pressured to hide parts of yourself and have struggled to connect with others, or you feel isolated and misunderstood. Perhaps your emotions feel overwhelming or difficult to manage, or it's hard to feel present when you are around other people. If you are struggling, you do not have to do it alone! I work with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma. It can be hard to adjust to college life and even harder to navigate if you need accommodations or are struggling with your mental health. In therapy, I can help you better understand your emotions and learn practical strategies to find relief and cope with challenges. I can also help you with paperwork if you need accommodations at school. I am licensed in New York and Oregon. I can work with you if you are in either of those states or if you travel back and forth for school and breaks.
