Therapists for college students near New York, NY
Aren't you tired of reading these profiles? Searching for that perfect mix of magic and promise that makes you think, "this one might just be worth the risk." And why shouldn't you be picky, right? Therapy IS a risk. You're risking time, money, and most of all; vulnerability. You want some sort of assurance that your risk will pay off. Well, no one can promise you that. Your therapist won't always know the perfect thing to say, and you won't walk out of every session feeling better. You want growth? You want change? That takes the willingness to not just bear, but to actually VALUE the pain involved in learning. Because if I'm doing my job right, then the negative patterns that are holding you back in life will spill out into the room. So if you’re just looking to end your suffering, I can't help you (sadly, no one can). If you want to learn to withstand the torment that life brings upon us. To translate that suffering into growth and change. Then reach out to me.

Do you feel stuck in your relationships? Having difficulty setting and maintaining boundaries? Struggling to connect with the people around you? I work primarily with adults who are looking to explore themselves and their relationship patterns to work toward more meaningful connections. I believe wholeheartedly that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives, and I am passionate about using our relationship as client and therapist as a tool and lens to help you explore and understand more about the other relationships in your life and how you show up in them. If what you've read so far speaks to you, please reach out to me via email to set up a free consultation appointment. I look forward to building a relationship with you that can hopefully be a starting point to building your personal relationships as well.
I believe that we all possess the power to make lasting changes in our lives. We just need the right support. I take a holistic attitude to understanding the challenges my clients face, including paying attention to the importance of culture and environment. I believe that change occurs when we acknowledge intersectionality, the complexity of identity, and the important roles that social systems like family, religion, culture, class, gender, and race play in people’s lives, not when we ignore the broader picture and focus only on the individual. My goal is to walk with you on your journey and provide compassionate and collaborative guidance that fits exactly who you are while helping you move towards how you want to be in the world. I work with people dealing with a whole variety of mental health and mental wellness concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, spirituality, career and personal development, grief and loss, and life transitions. I have a special love for providing counseling to international students, immigrants, and refugees. Want to get started? Email me.
Finding a good psychotherapist can be emotionally exhausting and time consuming. We take it very seriously that you are entrusting us with key/critical aspects of your life. That is why it is our goal to provide a team of psychologists & psychotherapists from diverse backgrounds who constantly grow and challenge one another to be the best at what they do. At The Village Institute our team is constantly studying the most effective ideas and research to improve their skills as clinicians. What does this mean for you? It means that our goal is not just that you have a great therapist, but that you have a therapist that is great for you.

I work with my clients on exploring underlying patterns, unresolved conflicts, and deep-seated emotional concerns that have been causing distress in their relationships with themselves and others. With authenticity and compassion, I work collaboratively with my clients through relationship and attachment issues, depression, anxiety, self-doubt, shame, loneliness, and childhood trauma, toward greater clarity and fulfillment. I foster a thoughtful space for navigating life transitions, complex family dynamics, questions of identity and purpose, as well as overall feelings of being stuck or lost. I understand that trust takes time and care to develop. Together, we’ll cultivate a relationship in which you can come to feel safe and free to express what’s troubling you. I’ll help you make better sense of what you’ve been struggling with and why, and support you in tuning into and working toward what well-being might look and feel like for you. Talking together with honesty and curiosity can deepen your understanding of yourself and your experiences and build resilience, which both support authentic, lasting growth. As this process unfolds, it can help you make changes that foster a more integrated sense of self, greater connection in relationships, and a stronger sense of meaning in life.
