Therapists for college students near 10003

Your individual experiences, goals, and priorities will be at the heart of your care in my small practice. I'm proud to offer a whole-person approach, with therapy and thoughtful medication management services to support your unique journey of growth and healing. I am accepting new patients, and pleased to serve clients throughout the states of Oregon and New York via telehealth.

I am particularly well-suited for college students, as I ran a research team with students for more than ten years and won the top mentoring awards at both of the universities where I was a professor. As a former professor, I do have a unique understanding of young adults and their needs. The clients who fit best with me tend to be bright and intuitive and perhaps even “overthinkers” who I often teach to think less, ironically! :) My clients come to me for a number of reasons, but one common theme throughout is a need for self-care and self-love. My job is to facilitate self-care and coping in a way that brings a client contentment and joy. I want clients to look forward to their sessions with me as a time to attend to their own emotional needs, learn, grow, and develop. They want a safe space with unconditional support to work through and - importantly - find feasible solutions to their unique problems. I am known for my blend of personalized, positive/strengths-based, creative, and feasible cognitive behavior therapies. My clients have commented on my blend of warmth and support along with behavioral strategies. I offer evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies with a special focus on positive psychology and strengths-based health promotion. Finally, you will hear me say that this is a real relationship that should feel healing. Connection is important. I strive to provide the very best therapy and customer service to my clients. I want you to feel like my only client. I want you to feel comfortable and safe, and I will be present with you and use creative strategies- individualized to you - to meet your needs and help you feel better **the rest of the time, when you are not with me**. I want to empower. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/laura-m-anderson-williamsville-ny/800284 https://www.vagaro.com/lauraandersonphdlicensedpsychologist

Hi, I’m Dr. Amanda Smith, a clinical psychologist licensed in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. With nearly 20 years of experience, I’ve worked extensively with specialized populations and complex mental health needs. Since joining WellQor in 2019, I’ve served as Lead Psychologist and a Clinical Director, overseeing a team that supports adults dealing with a wide range of mental health concerns from anxiety and depression to grief. My passion lies in helping people realize their potential and navigate challenges that once felt insurmountable. Therapy with me is grounded in open, honest dialogue and a deep respect for each individual’s unique journey. I may not have all the answers, but I will be a steady partner in helping you uncover hope, strength, and meaningful growth. As part of the WellQor team, I work with compassionate and dedicated therapists. When you reach out, our front office staff will make the scheduling process simple and supportive, so you can begin your path toward healing with confidence.

Stuck in a loop of overthinking? Constantly putting everyone else first and running on empty? You don't need to have it perfectly figured out before reaching out — that's exactly what we're here to work through together. I specialize in anxiety, self-doubt, recovery, and the patterns that keep you over-functioning for everyone but yourself. My approach is direct and collaborative — we identify what's actually keeping you stuck, build real tools for boundaries and decision-making, and work toward the kind of self-trust that makes daily life feel less exhausting. You don't have to earn your rest or wait for a crisis to ask for help. Reach out today — let's build a foundation that actually lasts. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna, Northwell Direct, and Quest Behavioral Health.

I also offer a sliding scale rate for those in need. Please reach out to learn more about how we can start this work.

Hi! I’m Alexandra—your partner in healing and growth. When I was little, I used to say I wanted to be a “Feelings Doctor.” I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but I knew I wanted to help people feel better—emotionally and mentally. I started college at 16 and initially pursued pre-med, but I quickly realized that the clinical world wasn’t where I felt most at home. What truly called to me was connecting with people, understanding their stories, and helping them heal from the inside out. I grew up in one of the poorest areas of Colombia, and those early experiences taught me the power of resilience, community, and hope. I saw how vital emotional support is when life gets hard—and that’s what led me to psychology. It gave me the tools to do what I’ve always wanted: walk alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strength. As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, insomnia, and more. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I work with children, teens, and adults. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and calm. Outside of therapy, I’m a runner (yes, I run for fun!), a guitar enthusiast, and a sci-fi lover—currently reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I love dancing with friends, cooking while video chatting with my family back home, and traveling whenever I can. These moments of connection—whether across a kitchen or across continents—remind me of the joy and strength we find in togetherness. I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where you can be fully yourself. Healing isn’t always easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

Hello, I’m Marsha Charlton, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, PMH-C (PSI), a board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am passionate about supporting college students as they navigate the unique challenges of academic life and personal growth. With extensive experience in both primary care and mental health, I provide comprehensive medication management and supportive psychotherapy tailored to the needs of young adults. I also hold advanced certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. This credential reflects specialized training in the assessment and treatment of mental health conditions during pregnancy and the postpartum period, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related concerns, and adjustment challenges. In my practice, I integrate this expertise through evidence-based screening, thoughtful medication management during pregnancy and lactation, and psychotherapy approaches designed to support individuals during the transition to parenthood. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered to achieve their mental health goals.

Direct, empathic, collaborative, trauma-informed. The purpose of therapy, from my perspective, is working to gain understanding about yourself and the underlying rationale for what makes you you so that you can take steps to be the best version of yourself. I tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs and work with them to actively restructure the patterns of thought and behavior that are keeping them stuck and unhappy, allowing them to move through life with a greater sense of freedom, clarity, confidence and purpose. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals to live fuller, more satisfying lives.

Most of my clients are the ones who hold it all together. Thoughtful, capable, high-achieving — and quietly overwhelmed. If anxiety, OCD, or old patterns are running the show beneath the surface, and you're ready to actually do something about it, this is a space for that. I blend CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approaches — not a one-size-fits-all formula, but a mix built around what you actually need. We build concrete skills for managing anxiety in real life while also getting to the root of the patterns keeping you stuck. You don't have to keep carrying the mental load alone. Reach out today — let's move past getting by and build something that actually holds. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna and Northwell Direct. For all other major insurance companies, I am an out of network provider. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to make the process as seamless as possible.

I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including trauma, eating disorders, OCD, relationship struggles, and academic stress. I am attuned to the role oppression plays in my patients' lives and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I enjoy working with students, artists and people with creative practices, those undergoing life transitions, and people seeking to understand intergenerational sources of suffering. My style is warm and nonjudgmental. I am guided by the belief that each person contains inherent strengths and knowledge, and that a primary goal of treatment is to allow for the expression of this unique experience. In our work together, we will move between past and present to understand what it’s like to be you. We will look carefully at your struggles, as well as how you love and dream. This diligent attention to your experience can result in satisfying and often surprising changes in personal, creative, and professional endeavors. In time, this knowledge of the self may also reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and physical pain. I am a New York State licensed master social worker and graduated with honors from Silberman School of Social Work. I am a candidate in adult psychoanalysis at the Contemporary Freudian Society. I have also been trained in the treatment of eating disorders. I have worked with people of diverse racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexuality, and class backgrounds. I invite you to reach out to me.

I offer a compassionate and supportive therapeutic space where clients can safely explore all aspects of themselves. While healing is ultimately a personal process, working with an attuned and understanding therapist can provide the containment and trust needed for meaningful change. I support individuals seeking therapy for emotional healing, self-understanding, and personal growth, helping clients gently engage with experiences that may feel difficult to face alone. My integrative approach draws on psychoanalytic psychotherapy, alongside somatic and mindfulness-based practices. I support individuals who may feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, cultural identity challenges, life transitions, and the lasting impact of past experiences. I believe meaningful therapy emerges through a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and genuine curiosity. My work supports clients in moving beyond survival patterns toward greater emotional freedom, resilience, and a more connected way of living.

I particularly enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, young professionals, and artists. My approach to therapy is warm and active, prioritizing curiosity, care, and collaboration. Together, we'll tailor a treatment to meet your unique needs. I work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective. I also integrate from my extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused approaches, and integrative harm reduction psychotherapy for individuals who are interested in better understanding or moderating their relationship with alcohol or substances. I'm aware that reaching out for help can be difficult. My goal is to ease this transition. I'll strive to meet you where you are without judgment, balancing deep listening with interactive engagement. Ultimately, I hope therapy can be practical and provide you with some relief. To see if we might be a good match, please reach out for a brief consultation.
