Therapists for college students near New York, NY

My clinical work focuses on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders, with a broader interest in supporting patients navigating ADHD and PTSD. These experiences can involve persistent worry, intrusive thoughts, emotional distress, or challenges with focus and regulation that may interfere with daily functioning and overall well-being. I also work with students facing career challenges, academic pressure, life transitions, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, sports performance, work-life balance, identity development, and questions related to meaning and purpose. Therapy provides a supportive and structured space to better understand these patterns and how they show up in daily life. Together, we focus on developing practical coping strategies, reducing distress, and increasing clarity and a sense of control. Over time, this process can help patients respond more effectively to challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. I strive to provide care that is affirming, empathetic and responsive to each person's unique way of experiencing and moving through the world. My hope is that patients leave each session with a deeper understanding of themselves and practical tools they can confidently apply in their daily lives. I aim for our work to foster greater clarity, self-awareness, and emotional insight. Over time, this foundation can help them feel more grounded, resilient, and confident as they navigate life's challenges. I'm most passionate about supporting patients through a mind–body approach that integrates mental health, wellness, and overall quality of life. I value helping people build a stronger connection between their emotional well-being and daily habits, recognizing how closely the mind and body influence one another. Together, we'll develop coping skills that support long-term balance, resilience, and greater alignment in daily life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in midtown Manhattan. When I decided to go back to school for a master’s degree, I chose social work because I felt strongly about its foundational belief that focus should be on both a person and their environment. During graduate school at Fordham University I saw many appealing paths I could continue on after graduation. While both macro and micro levels of practice are extremely important, I felt best suited for work with individuals on a deeper level. I wanted to further my education and went on to complete the four-year postgraduate training program in Adult Psychoanalysis and Comprehensive Psychotherapy from The National Institute for the Psychotherapies. Prior to private practice I worked with a diverse population in various clinics throughout New York City. In addition to private practice I have been guest faculty at the Training Institute for Mental Health and taught a course on Eating Disorders. In March 2020, I completed a post master’s program in Spirituality and Social Work at New York University.

As a psychotherapist, school counselor, learning specialist, and executive function coach with over twenty years of experience, my eclectic background informs my holistic and neurodiversity-affirming approach to coaching and counseling. Sessions are individualized and collaborative, while providing a supportive and accepting environment for growth. I meet you where you are at now and help you progress toward your goals at a pace that is comfortable for you. My clinical and teaching experience includes working in schools and agency settings. For eight years, I worked as a learning specialist for students with disabilities at Columbia University in which I provided executive function coaching, academic counseling, and learning support. In my private practice, I continue to work with university and professional students, as well as adults in all stages of life. My clients feel safe, supported, and motivated by the work we do together, and I am committed to helping others recognize and cultivate their unique gifts.

If you're feeling constantly on edge, replaying every conversation, triple-checking emails, and still wondering if you're doing enough, you're not alone. If getting out of bed feels like a win some days, or things that used to excite you now feel dull and out of reach, that's not failure. That's what anxiety and depression can look like, and they're more common than you think. I'm Dana, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide therapy, medication management, and psychiatric evaluations for adults, with a focus on anxiety and depressive disorders. These conditions don't just affect your thoughts; they impact your sleep, appetite, energy, relationships, and ability to feel like yourself. Many of my patients are navigating the uncertainty and pressure of early adulthood, questioning their career paths, second-guessing relationships, and trying to stay afloat while everything feels high-stakes. I work with patients managing anxiety disorders (like social anxiety, panic disorder, and phobias), depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, psychotic disorders, ADHD, sleep disorders, and stress-related challenges like burnout, family tension, or major life transitions. Therapy can help you slow down the spiral. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, we'll work together to understand what's behind the patterns and find practical tools that help. This might mean learning to reframe unhelpful thoughts, reduce physical symptoms like muscle tension or racing heart, or simply feel less overwhelmed by your day. I want our sessions to feel safe, collaborative, and judgment-free. You won't be expected to have everything figured out. We'll talk openly about what you're going through, and I'll help you understand your treatment options, including whether medication might be a helpful part of your care. Before joining Rivia Mind, I spent over five years working at Bellevue Hospital and three years at NYU Brooklyn. What stayed with me most from that time wasn't just the clinical experience; it was the chance to build real, human connections with patients. I learned how powerful it is to have someone truly listen and stay steady in moments of crisis or uncertainty. That still shapes how I show up for people today. I've also worked with people from many cultural backgrounds and communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, and I know how important it is to feel seen and respected. I bring that same care into supporting college students, recent grads, and working adults facing academic pressure, identity exploration, and the stress of juggling competing roles. Whether you're trying to get through the week, adjust to a new chapter, or feel more in control of your emotions, I'm here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and whole-person care. You don't have to have all the answers; we'll figure out your next steps together. Reach out today to get started!

Are you overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions? Do they lead to behaviors that aren't serving you or are preventing you from living the best life possible? I have over 20 years of experience providing treatment to clients with a myriad of emotional, behavioral and/or cognitive issues. I specialize in assisting to gain emotional and cognitive control by finding the triggers that lead to reactive behaviors and helping to assess which coping skills to apply to avoid undesired reactions. You are the expert on yourself. So lets work together to understand what your strengths are and how to build skills to attain your goals. I am Foundationally Trained by The Linehan Institute/Behavioral Tech. in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), (12/8/14-12/12/14). DBT adapts CBT to assist patients to deal with stress. This approach combines acceptance and change through the principle of dialectics. I have found my training invaluable in assisting clients to achieve personal harmony.

Psychoanalytic therapy provides you with unique experience that focuses on uncovering your unconscious thoughts and lets you articulate them in a protected space. It gives you an opportunity to improve the quality of your life through better understanding of yourself and your relationships. I am dedicated to providing therapeutic and analytic help to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and problems with finding their path in life. I am also working with artists and other creative individuals who are having trouble starting and finishing their projects and with people who are going through major life changes. As a writer and a scholar, I am familiar with performance anxiety, having learned to overcome personal and creative blocks in my life and work through my own analysis. I am also a first-generation immigrant who was schooled in this country and knows about the psychological challenges of adjusting to new situations. I welcome people working in high-pressure and creative fields, as well as immigrants, people from different cultures, gender orientations and races. I work with adults, adolescents, children and their families. Apart from English-speakers, I welcome people who wish to communicate in Russian. Please reach out to book a consultation.

As a therapist, I take a collaborative and supportive approach with my clients. I work with students facing anxiety and depression—whether tied to academic pressures or other factors—as well as those managing chronic illnesses or disabilities. I also support students who are navigating relationship challenges with friends, family, or romantic partners, and those going through significant life transitions. College is a time of profound change, often sparking a desire to explore who we are—our past, our present, and the person we hope to become.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who feel stuck between what anxiety is telling them to do and the life they actually want to live. It’s common to feel overwhelmed by anxiety or OCD, getting caught in cycles of overthinking, avoidance, and feeling stuck, you’re not alone. Using evidence-based treatments like ERP, PE, HRT, and Behavioral Activation, I help clients learn to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce avoidance, and move toward what matters most. Together, we focus on building a life guided by values rather than fear. ERP provides structure and direction. My goal is to help you feel more confident handling whatever shows up and partner with families to create consistency and support outside of sessions. Taking the first step can be hard, but you don’t have to do it by yourself, I'd be happy to connect and see how I can support you.

I GREW UP IN THE IN-BETWEEN — moving back and forth between the US and China, I know first-hand what it is like to be faced with the unknown, the struggle of finding yourself in a new place, a new culture, a new stage of life, or a new identity. I FIND JOY in helping people find the pieces of themselves they can rely on and fall in love with through it all. My goal is to honor the beauty of your existence while teaching you the skills that can carry you through rougher times. The process of healing, learning who you are and what you need to care for yourself, is a challenging but rewarding one. IT TAKES COURAGE to confront and accept yourself completely, and I hope to provide a compassionate and safe space for you to explore, to grieve, to rage, or to find joy in everything that you've experienced. The fact that you have survived everything so far to be here now is more important than anything else. It is an honor for me to witness your courage and your strength. IT IS A PRIVILEGE to be a part of your journey. I admire you. You matter to me.

As a mental health professional with 26 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping children, adults, and geriatric populations navigate anxiety, depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and grief and loss. My approach is built upon the pillars of warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies, as I am passionate about the power of human connection and resilience. Let’s work together to discover your strengths and develop practical coping skills.

Your healing journey may include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, art therapy (younger patients), and more approaches to help you manage self-doubt and develop healthy coping skills. At all times, I practice person-centered therapy, respecting your self-determination and honoring confidentiality, which helps me promote your best interest and develop a life worth living. I look forward to exploring your personal journey and experience in our work together. My path to becoming a therapist began as a mental health screener for the World Trade Center employees and volunteers who worked at ground zero after 9/11, who faced indescribable tragedy and environmental exposure to an unprecedented event in our nation's history. This experience shaped who I am and the compassionate, patient-focused therapist I strive to be, one that enables me to bring a comprehensive understanding of loss and grief to my practice now. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors, from hiking the trails to gardening at home. I also love music and volunteering in my community to strengthen connections.
