Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach, meeting each person where they are. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported and empowered to explore their experiences, build insight, and grow. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and work toward meaningful, sustainable change at your own pace. I have a background in mental health counseling, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and sports psychology. I’ve supported individuals from diverse backgrounds, addressing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, life transitions, self-esteem, and performance enhancement. I’m passionate about helping people build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and create lasting change through a supportive, client-centered approach. Driven by compassion and curiosity, I strive to create meaningful impact through connection, creativity, and care. I believe in showing up authentically and helping others feel seen, heard, and valued.

Therapy invites room for reflection, healing, and personal growth. Creating a warm and steady space allows clients to explore their thoughts and emotions at a comfortable pace. My style balances honesty with compassion, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered work. Trauma-informed care and psychoeducation are woven in to support clients in developing insight and meaningful change. More than two decades in school counseling and additional clinical experience have shaped my work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families from varied cultural and neurodivergent backgrounds. I often support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. When working with couples, Gottman-informed strategies guide communication, emotional awareness, and stronger relational foundations. “You do not just wake up and become the butterfly - growth is a process.” ― Rupi Kaur

I create a warm, inclusive, and collaborative space where clients feel heard, accepted, and understood. Lastly, I am convinced the therapeutic alliance is key to optimal treatment and client's growth. I have experiences of working with kids and young adults from diverse backgrounds in community settings, research labs, as well as private practice. I specialize in helping emerging adults and BIPOC populations with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. My trainings in CBT, DBT, and EFIT allow me to tailor my work to each individual’s needs, and I see the world from a multicultural lens. Therapy is like a journey to explore ourselves. Thank you for coming and staying with yourself, and I am here to support.

Born and raised in New York and coming from Latino roots, I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you can show up as you are—no shame, no judgment. Mental health can carry stigma in many underrepresented communities, and I’m here to help change that using my eclectic approach.

I’ve previously worked with clients focusing in areas such as anxiety, depression, relational issues, adjustment disorders, emotional regulation, and life transitions. "Grow Through What You Go Through"

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from ACT, CBT, EMDR, and psychodynamic frameworks. I aim to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and genuinely human—one that welcomes empathy, humor, and honest reflection. Through collaboration, we work toward deeper self-understanding, healing, and meaningful change while honoring your pace, values, strengths, and goals throughout the therapeutic process with care. With experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and body image concerns. My work is guided by the belief that healing begins with understanding and connection. Through an integrative, client-centered lens, I help clients uncover resilience, build coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” — Carl Rogers

I honor the complexity and uniqueness of each person. In our work together, I will help you understand yourself and uncover your inherent strength and worth. Informed by my own complex cultural background, I value nurturing multiple identities and telling your story in a way that feels empowering. Rooted in person-centered therapy, my approach weaves in psychodynamic, narrative, and behavioral perspectives, complemented by mindfulness practices. I have extensive experience working with clients navigating substance use, as well as depression, anxiety, and trauma that often accompany it. I also focus on helping clients manage life transitions and identity shifts, such as becoming a parent, immigrating, or experiencing loss. I bring my own identities as an immigrant and a mother into the room and welcome clients adjusting to a new reality. “The past exists for each of us only as we constitute it in the present against the horizon of the future”. Irvin Yalom & Molyn Leszcz.

I am dedicated to creating a safe therapeutic space where clients feel safe to be vulnerable and authentic. With warmth and empathy, I act as a guide in each client’s journey to pursuing a present and fulfilling life. I tailor my approach individually, integrating feminist theory, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). With a background in dance, I believe that our minds and bodies are connected and feel passionate about incorporating somatic principles into my work. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent individuals and have experience with clients navigating life transitions, early childhood trauma, and creating healthy boundaries.

I believe that the heart of therapy lies in the connection we build together. When you work with me, I take the time to understand your history, cultural background, and the key moments that have shaped you. Together, we’ll create sessions filled with support, laughter, and reflection, empowering you to create a life that reflects your truest self. I've always had an innate interest in deeply understanding people. My diverse experience spans private practices, suicide hotlines, inpatient hospitals, and schools, which has allowed me to work with a wide range of populations.
