Therapists for college students near New York University

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As a therapist, I can help you learn to cope with the difficult situations life throws at you. I specialize in life transitions, trauma, and grief, and my practice is located in Smithtown, New York. I can't wait to meet you.

In my years of experience I have come to realize so much about living in the world robs us of our ability to acknowledge our own magic. Therapy should be a safe place for you to begin to reclaim that magic and learn how to discover your own power. By using a "bottom to top" approach to identify how long held, negative beliefs, have kept you reliving and repeating the past, you can finally live in the present. I provide a safe, non judgemental space for you to work through trauma and reclaim the power inherent in you.

I’m here to help you know all that is possible for you and clear blocks of self-doubt, fear, shame, grief and other very human emotions and experiences in your way of a nourishing, self-loving and joyful life. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and full of heart and is rooted in my own lived experience of healing, learning and emerging. I weave together a range of therapeutic healing modalities including IFS, Hakomi and other somatic, nature-based and anti-oppressive practices. I would love to support you on your healing journey! I warmly welcome you to reach out and see if we are a match to work together.

Hi, I'm Melissa! (she/her), and I am a Queer, Latinx, Cisgender, Therapist. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC communities and the mental health struggles that are unique to them. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and gender dysphoria. Some folx also struggle with low self esteem, body image issues, shame/guilt around sexuality and gender identity, difficulty connecting with others, motivation and other stressors such as work and home life. I provide a kind, non-judgemental, supportive environment for all my clients and work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed lense. My goal is to use the power of real human connection to build trust and empower my clients throughout the therapeutic process. Deciding to come to therapy is an awesome first step toward the inner healing you deserve. When you are ready, reach out so we can talk and find out if we are a good fit for one another. Come. As. You. Are. I look forward to meeting with you!

I love supporting college students and have been doing so for the past 15 years. I spent much of that time providing therapy in New York City, before returning to my home town of Fairfield, CT to continue my practice. In addition to in person appointments, I continue to provide telehealth sessions for any students located in CT or NY. I also have experience with this age group in schools, medical and psychiatric hospital settings and in the classroom while teaching at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I truly enjoy working with my clients and draw upon my own experience and their inherent strengths to achieve change in a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment. ​

I have been working in the outpatient setting for over 10 years. I've rotated through a student mental health clinic during my training and have worked with many college aged students. College can be an exciting time of change and growth and finding purpose and connection. College can also be a big adjustment, as you acclimate to a new setting, new responsibilities and being away from home for an extended period, sometimes for the first time. It is often during these big life changes that you may need a little extra help settling in, getting into new routines. Through a combination of therapy and careful use of medication, we can work on getting you in a place to fully engage in and enjoy your college experience.

I pull from my personal, spiritual and clinical experience. I have extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for 20 years. Also, trained in family systems therapy with a focus on immigrant, relational and transitional difficulties. Discovering life in the moment and addressing obstacles to achieve emotional health is my main focus.

I enjoy helping to support people as they navigate through the many different waves of life. I help to create a warm, non judgmental, and supportive environment where clients are free to talk about their stories. I draw from a number of different treatment modalities, but most importantly, meet the client where they are at. While each individual's experience is unique, I regularly work with clients around topics related to anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, relationship concerns, sexuality, ADHD, life's transitions, familial conflict and many more. In this busy world, it can be difficult to make time to focus on your needs. Therapy provides a space to do so and share your story in a safe and non judgmental environment. Sessions are a time to practice self care, utilize your strengths, and develop tools that help you gain a better understanding of you. I would love to have the chance to work with you and hear your story. Currently, sessions are teletherapy based allowing you more flexibility to be in a familiar setting and join from any mobile or desktop device. I would love to help you with the process of learning more about you and develop the tools to navigate the many waves of life.

Hi, I'm Lisa Grine, MSN, APN, PMHNP-BC Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for College Students What Students Say About Me "Great listener, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted." Years of Experience 10 years+ My Approach I'm both warm and direct—able to match whatever you need in that moment. Sometimes that means sitting with you quietly and listening. Other times it means telling you what I see, even when it's hard to hear. Our sessions are structured conversations, not free-flowing chats. I believe that clarity helps. What I Work With Most • Anxiety, mood concerns,(mental health during prenatal, during pregnancy, and postpartum needs), and depression to name a few • High-achieving students experiencing burnout and life transitions • Young adults-both undergrad and graduate students How I Work Often, college students feel forced to choose between success and wellbeing — but together, we can find a way to balance both! I take a holistic approach to care, which means looking at the whole person, not just symptoms. And let's be honest, it's no surprise that college life can throw our health off track — skipping fresh air, surviving on less-than-ideal food, and running on questionable amounts of sleep are basically a rite of passage. Integrative and Holistic care also means honoring your religious beliefs, ethics, morals, and value systems, because those things genuinely shape who you are. I offer medications when clinically appropriate, but my focus goes far beyond that. Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I understand the intensity of acute care as well as the importance of building sustainable, everyday coping strategies that actually fit your life. Who I'm Best Suited For I tend to connect well with women, men, and provide mental health support for women who are pregnant, peri/postpartum. I am strictly telehealth and so if someone needs a stimulant or controlled substance I can recommend providers who are in person or hybrid to match those needs based on current laws and restrictions. I'm upfront about this because I believe matching matters. If you are in any acute danger please seek emergency care first as this practice is outpatient. If you're looking for a provider who shares certain values or experiences, that can make a difference in how comfortable you feel. The last Saturday of the month, I am open to accommodate your schedule if needed in the mornings.

I provide individual and family therapy to adults and teenagers navigating relational challenges, life transitions, anxiety and depression. I also have extensive background working with neurodivergent people (ADHD and Autism Spectrum). I am passionate about helping individuals as they navigate life adjustments, such as starting a new job, leaving home, becoming a parent or processing a change in a relationship. I value creating a safe, open, and authentic space for people to learn more about themselves. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, collaborative and relational. I believe that our experiences throughout our lives impact the way that we see ourselves and our relationships. From this perspective, I work with clients to explore how their life experiences have impacted them. I know that it is difficult to choose a therapist. If you are curious about what it would be like to work with me, please feel free to reach out to set up a phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! I'm Alysia. I specialize in working with both adults and young adults in navigating periods of transition, life changes and relationships. Oftentimes along with change comes complicated feelings of stress, grief and loss that need a space to be unpacked. I understand and recognize that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I will collaborate with you to create a space where we can work together to better understand you. I look forward to unpacking this baggage with you in a safe, supportive place. No worries - There is room for it all. Reach out and we can take this next step together.

Do you struggle with difficult emotions? Feel that something is missing? Unsatisfied with aspects of your life? Working together, I can help you learn to understand your feelings; untangle complicated emotions; increase positive experiences, improve communication and relationships; end cycles of depression and anxiety. Sometimes you feel the need or desire to initiate change. Other times change may present itself in a way that leaves you feeling that you have limited or no influence over your circumstances. I help people deal effectively with change. Is it time to prioritize what is important to you? I work with adults and adolescents removing barriers, initiating and navigating change that leads to a life they value and enjoy. If these sound like goals you have and you are ready to move forward we will be a good fit for working together.

I am happy to work with anyone who is committed to living a fuller life by learning more about themselves. I am comfortable helping people out with a variety of psychiatric issues, both through medications and / or therapy. I am careful about prescribing medications only when necessary and prefer to minimize their use if the person taking them is on board. Sharing experiences in a safe space can heal wounds and help us grow to our fullest potential. We all have a capacity for joy and fulfillment often buried under bad experiences and layers of protection. I will walk with you on your inward journey and help you make the most of it.

I work with individuals who know something needs to change, but may not know where to start. You may be overwhelmed, overthinking everything, struggling in your relationships, carrying things from your past, or feeling like you should have life figured out by now, but you don't. Maybe you're tired of repeating the same patterns, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like your emotions are running the show. In our work together, I help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, and learn what to actually do differently. Therapy with me isn't just about talking about the problem week after week. We'll work toward helping you communicate better, manage difficult emotions, make healthier decisions, set boundaries, heal from painful experiences, and feel more in control of your life. You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. You just have to be ready to start.
