Therapists for college students near New York, NY

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 10 years of experience helping adults navigate trauma and inner-child healing, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and major life transitions. My work centers people of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on women, neurodivergent individuals, and members of culturally diverse and LGBTQ+ communities. Together, we make sense of the patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, so you can heal from past experiences, better understand your emotions and relationships, build self-compassion, and create meaningful change that helps you feel more grounded and authentic in your life. I believe in meeting each person with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment, which allows me to be a genuine, collaborative partner in your care. From there, we can recognize and break the patterns that no longer serve you and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally responsive, integrating evidence-based techniques with deeper exploration of the experiences and patterns that have shaped you. That care shows up as a passionate commitment to helping you understand yourself with more kindness, heal the parts of you that have been carrying old wounds, and create meaningful, lasting change. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where you're free to show up authentically. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches, I help you gain insight, build practical coping skills, and grow in ways that last. That work is genuine, down-to-earth, and shaped around your pace, tailored to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. My path to becoming a therapist began with a genuine curiosity about people – their stories, their relationships, and the experiences that shape who they become. Over time, that curiosity grew into a deep commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, individualized care. Now, I bring warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person's lived experience to every session, creating space for you to feel truly seen, understood, and supported as you navigate your healing. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy drawing and painting, exploring my creative side, caring for my ever-growing collection of houseplants, reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. I also appreciate the little things that help life feel more grounded—good music, a cozy space, and finding moments for creativity and connection.

Your emotional wellness is not a luxury – it’s a necessity in an ever-changing society. In order to create real change in your life, you must care for your mental health needs. I provide quality therapy for young professionals in NYC, couples therapy, and perinatal therapy. No matter what your age or relationship status, if you’re here it’s because you’re looking to make a change. Maybe you don’t feel good enough – you’re insecure and not sure what your next step is. Or perhaps you’re overloaded with tasks and your anxiety is through the roof, you’re feeling so overwhelmed that you don’t even know where to begin. Living in a world of anxiety and worry takes a toll on your mental health. If you find yourself not feeling good enough, or you’re taking care of others instead of yourself, it might be time to seek help. I support people going through major life transitions such as becoming a parent, starting a relationship or dealing with the breakup, having work-related stress, becoming an entrepreneur, or getting through graduate school. I also work with clients who suffer from low self-esteem and those who feel like there’s something in the way of enjoying life. By providing safe and supportive space in therapy, I empower clients to feel good about themselves, build resiliency and take steps towards greater happiness. In my practice, I believe that therapy shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all experience. I utilize elements of CBT, Internal Family Therapy, Mindfulness, and Gestalt therapies which are tailored to your unique needs. You will learn coping skills to manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, social anxiety, and criticism.

I am an insight-oriented psychotherapist with post-Masters training. I use some CBT techniques and teach at a training institute. I have been in private practice in New York City for more than 35 years. My clients range in age from their mid-teens to Seniors, and are struggling with issues such as: school, work, family, low self-esteem, relationships, anxiety and depression. I meet with clients virtually and in person.

Are you or a loved one feeling stuck – uncertain about navigating changes in your life, how you see yourself, or how to reconnect with those close to you? When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself. In me, you’ll have a collaborator who will follow your lead and ensure you feel you heard but will be willing to challenge you and continue to motivate you towards achieving your goals. Therapy with me involves weaving together practical skill-building and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your individualized goals. I work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions at work, at home, or at school. Through individual, parent, or family sessions, we will untangle your thoughts, improve your self-esteem, and take tangible steps towards sustainable change. Neurodiversity (Autism & ADHD) affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly, I always take a person-centric approach. When you have a better understanding of who you are and what you want, your goals will feel attainable. Everyone has the ability to move past the struggles they’re experiencing, and together we can create solutions and develop skills to build long-term happiness. If you’re ready to learn how we can work together, email or call me for a 15-minute consultation.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in anxiety, life transitions, and relationship concerns for adolescents and adults. Over nearly four years of clinical work, I've had the privilege of sitting with teens and adults through some of life's more difficult stretches: the anxiety that won't quiet down, the relationship stress that follows you everywhere, the emotional weight that builds when you can't quite figure out why you keep ending up in the same place. If you're someone who thinks deeply about yourself and your life but still finds it hard to break certain patterns, you're not alone. Many of the people I work with are self-aware and motivated; they just need a space where insight can turn into real, lasting change. I offer the evidence-based treatment that helps you explore the deeper patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Above all, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more confident as you move through the world. I look forward to being a genuine partner in that process. Therapy works best when it feels honest, collaborative, and equal parts reflective and actionable. When we work together, you can expect a space that is both supportive and candid, somewhere we can get curious about what's bringing you in while also building practical tools to help you move forward. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), schema therapy, and relationally informed approaches, weaving them together in a way that fits who you are rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. My style is warm, direct, and a little reflective. I'll ask questions that help you see yourself more clearly, and also help you figure out what to actually do with what you discover. Whether you're looking to better understand your patterns, strengthen how you cope with stress, or simply feel more like yourself again, I'll tailor the work to where you are and where you want to go. My path to this work has been shaped in equal parts by where I come from personally and where I've been professionally. Early in my career, I worked at a pediatric neuropsychology clinic serving primarily Latinx families in Washington Heights, where I saw up close how systemic barriers can complicate access to care and add invisible weight to the challenges people are already carrying. That experience left a real mark on me, and strengthened my commitment to showing up in a way that is culturally sensitive, genuinely client-centered, and attuned to the broader context of your life. Growing up in the South Bronx gave me something no classroom could: a deep respect for the resilience of underserved communities and an honest understanding of the very real obstacles many individuals and families face. Both experiences continue to inform how I practice and how I show up for you in the therapy room. Outside of session, I'm usually deep in a telenovela, working through my Nintendo Switch 2 games, sweating through a [solidcore] class, or adding more books to an endless to-be-read reading list. I believe a full life outside the therapy room makes for a better therapist inside it.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) working with adults and adolescents on social anxiety, identity exploration, relationship difficulties, mood instability, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, challenges with goal attainment, intergenerational conflict, and major life transitions. This work also includes a particular focus on young adults, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ populations, helping them navigate relationship challenges, self-compassion, and major life changes. Collaboration is at the center of how I practice: you stay at the forefront of your own care, guiding your life toward a better future. Watching you take control of your decisions and life in our work together is what I look forward to most. Helping people access their inner world in order to gain self-compassion is something I'm passionate about. That’s why I take a strength-based, non-judgmental, and curious approach centered on emotional regulation skills and self-esteem building, in a compassionate, relaxed environment. Through an exploratory, conversational style, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build self-esteem and understand your thoughts and behaviors. These treatments are tailored to you at all times, taking your unique needs and situation into consideration for truly customized care. My path to becoming a therapist began with my journey of carving my own identity within a religious circle, along with the challenges I faced during that time. This experience deepened my commitment to providing humanistic and collaborative care to my patients, allowing me to bring a sincere and authentic perspective to each session in my practice now. Outside the office, I enjoy bike rides and beach days when the weather is nice, and I love catching a great comedy show when it's cold out!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with children, adolescents, young adults, women, and families. I’m dedicated to helping patients navigate the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other experiences that leave people feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.  At the center of my practice is the belief that every individual is the expert on their own life, one that continues to help me be a compassionate partner in your journey toward healing, growth, and self-acceptance. I look forward to creating a space together where you feel safe to explore challenges, celebrate growth, and discover the strengths that already exist within you.  My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, incorporating mindfulness practices to support healing and personal growth. It's also warm, person-centered, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Building a genuine, personalized connection with each person I work with is something I'm passionate about, because feeling safe, supported, and empowered makes all the difference. In practice, that means drawing on a range of approaches tailored to your unique goals and strengths. These include person-centered therapy, trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, these tools help you build insight, strengthen self-compassion, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Sessions are flexible by design; our work takes the shape you need it to. From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to supporting and connecting with others, and was often described as empathetic and compassionate – qualities that, in time, pointed me clearly toward a career in mental health.  In college, I discovered a passion for psychology and the opportunity to better understand the complexities of human behavior. That curiosity led me to pursue my Master of Social Work, deepening my understanding of the ways mental health, life experiences, relationships, and larger systems shape our well-being.   These experiences strengthened my commitment to and passion for personalized care, and confirmed what I'd believed for a long time: that healing happens best in a space that feels warm, collaborative, and genuinely yours. Now, I bring this same curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story to every session. When I'm not in session, you'll often find me listening to a mystery or psychological thriller audiobook, crocheting, or spending an afternoon in a nearby park with my favorite salty snack — chips and dip or cheese and crackers, to be specific. At home, I'm endlessly entertained by my two cats: Penny, a tortie, and Ozzy, an orange tabby. Discovering new movies and TV shows is another favorite pastime, and I'm always happy to talk about my love of food!

Many of the students I work with seem like they have everything together on the outside, but internally feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are. You may be high-achieving, creative, or thoughtful, yet constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, struggling with perfectionism, or trying to meet expectations that never fully feel like enough. Over time, it can become exhausting to keep pushing through while quietly carrying stress, pressure, anxiety, or self-doubt on your own. In our work together, we slow things down and explore what’s driving that pressure beneath the surface. Therapy becomes a space to reconnect with your own voice, values, identity, and sense of direction so life begins to feel more grounded, authentic, and emotionally sustainable — not something you constantly have to perform your way through.

Good therapy should be for everyone. That's why Dr. Meghan Jackson Miller started MJMPS. Life is messy and we want to help you with whatever's getting too heavy to carry alone.

We see new clients within days, evenings and weekends included. No insurance is left behind - we take them all (yes, even Medicaid!). No insurance? No problem! Our sliding scale starts at $27.50 because at MJMPS, Therapy is For All!

I am an experienced therapist with 18+ years helping adults and adolescents deal with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues as well as with all of the struggles that daily life presents. I believe in an approach that depends on collaborations between therapist and client. YOU are the expert of your own life. I will be there to listen, encourage and help you to see see situations, events, or people from a new perspective. Together we will explore and fortify your emotional strengths and come up with new ways of approaching problems, figure out ways for you to feel better and achieve your goals.

Full service Young adult mental health practice Doing Telhealth for COVID related services

We are trying to reintegrate in our own way, and it is not easy. Taking good care of our emotional well being is a priority in my eyes. Are you motivated to change and grow? If you need the best person to help you reach your goals? I practice what I preach. “See me”and “hear me”. “Make it safe”. Often this is the beginning of what is missing in relationships. It's hard to ask for help. Being in a relationship is tricky. I appreciate people who are brave to say: "I need help with my life.", "I want to change my life.", & "I am unhappy.". I can help transform your hopes into action. You CAN change your life....if you have the will and desire to do so.

Therapy is a place to talk to someone outside of your every day life. It's a place to gain insight into what is going on within yourself, and to learn more about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. You may begin therapy due to a serious life event, or simply to improve your mood, your lifestyle, or your relationships. I will ask questions and offer feedback to help you look at your problems differently, to make more sense of what's going on in your life, and to unravel difficult issues. We will work together as you decide what changes you may want to begin to make. In addition to working with individuals, I also work with couples. Some couples are early in their relationships and want to make sure they are on the right track. Others have been together longer and want less distressing and hurtful interactions, and instead want positive ways of communicating and connecting with each other. As we work in couples therapy, you will better understand what each person is contributing to the relationship, and you will both learn new skills so that you can better manage your differences, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger and more satisfying relationship. I also offer a 3 hour, premarital/early relationship course. Couples may choose to do this to assess their relationship strengths, and to get learn areas of their relationship that can use some focused work. This course is very helpful to help couples to prevent and change negative patterns from developing, and to learn some very important relationship building skills.

You may be overwhelmed by life’s pressures and need help figuring out what’s really going on. Or you may feel stuck in unhealthy patterns, addictions, interpersonal conflicts, or cycles of anger and frustration, and not know how to change. You may be depressed, carrying psychic anguish and low motivation, or unable to move on from past trauma. Or you may feel moments of intense shame, rejection sensitivity, or self-consciousness, and want to finally talk about it and try to heal and move on. If you want to get to the bottom of your emotional distress, interpersonal difficulties, or sense of stuckness, I would love to work with you. Many people come to me after feeling frustrated with therapy that stayed too surface-level, or where the therapist mostly listened without helping them understand their inner world. If you’re looking for therapy that goes deeper and offers reflection, feedback, and guidance, I invite you to reach out and schedule an initial consultation or first session. I approach each therapy as unique and individual, so that I can tailor my approach to you. I work with young adults and and teens navigating anxiety, shame, depression, identity questions, relationship conflict, compulsive/addictive behaviors, emotional numbness, and stuckness. I reply to all messages within one business day, and invite all inquiries.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice for nearly twenty five years. I work with adolescents, college-age young adults, and adults in regard to anxiety, depression, separation from family, academic stress, relationship issues, parenting difficulties and trauma. My approach is to provide a safe therapeutic relationship to facilitate working on problems in living.

Starting therapy can be a challenging process. I aim to create a therapeutic space where you can approach whatever barriers you may be facing with curiosity and safety in knowing you will not be judged. I specialize in therapy with young/emerging adults and college students experiencing a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, emotion regulation problems, academic/work stress, relationship challenges, and identity concerns. I have additional expertise in working with family members of individuals with serious mental illness, as well as people who identify as LGBTQIA+. My approach is integrative, primarily grounded in cognitive behavioral theory and supplemented with psychodynamic and relational techniques. I have received training in a variety of evidence-based approaches including DBT, ERP/ExRP, and CBT for psychosis. Our work together will be collaborative, flexible, and goal-oriented. While it can be hard to take the leap, starting therapy can help put you on the path to the life you want to be living. If you think I may be a good fit for the work you are ready to start, please contact me to schedule a free consultation.
