Therapists for college students near New York University

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and interactive. After an initial assessment, I may start by providing information about different therapy techniques and why they may be helpful for your concerns. I also start from a place of strength — though you may begin therapy feeling low or nervous, I aim to remind you of the resilience and skills you already possess, while helping you discover new ways to look at and tackle obstacles. I’m a fan of handouts and worksheets, and may encourage you to do practice exercises between sessions to work on the skills you’re learning. I will simultaneously help you focus on the here-and-now while pushing you to uncover and repair deeper, older patterns of relating to yourself and the world. I also believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and I often employ a variety of techniques from mindfulness, CBT and DBT approaches to enrich our work when useful. My style in the room is direct, empathic, collaborative, and playful. I have significant interest and experience working with LGBTQ+ populations, recent college graduates and young professionals navigating life transitions and identity exploration, and individuals and couples working towards greater relationship satisfaction and intimacy. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible.

I know personally that therapy may be difficult and uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. When I first sit with someone, I genuinely thank them for showing up, both for themselves, and for the therapeutic relationship we’ll work to develop. I want us to explore how your thoughts and feelings impact your behaviors, how your past experiences have shaped the way you relate to others and how you communicate. I want to celebrate progress with you, and to create a safe space for when you need more support. I also enjoy incorporating psychoeducation to assist with applying and understanding the concepts and techniques we talk about in session to your everyday life. On an individual level, I want the client to develop trust and compassion in themselves. On a larger scale, my goal is to normalize mental health, especially for populations who’ve had limited access and face stigmatization for seeking support.

Hi there! My name is Ketrice and I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My career began at the bedside but I’ve always maintained a passion for knowing people. I’ve been academically prepared at Hofstra University, where I’m also obtaining my doctoral degree. I have experience working inpatient with the severely ill but also with those who just need some support through a rough time. I look forward to getting to know you!

I work with college students and young adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family patterns, eating disorders, or a general sense that something feels off — even when life looks fine on the outside. My approach is warm, relational, and depth-oriented. Rather than focusing only on symptom management or coping strategies, I'm interested in helping you understand what's underneath — the patterns, histories, and experiences that shape how you feel and relate to others. I offer psychotherapy and integrate attachment-focused EMDR when it feels appropriate. Sessions are available in-person in Beacon, NY and Manhattan, and virtually throughout New York State. If you're not sure what you want to work on, that's okay. Many people come to therapy knowing something isn't working but not yet able to name it. We can figure that out together.

I have been in clinical practice for 25 years working effectively with couples, individuals and relationship issues. I have a warm and relational style and provide safe and experienced guidance using evidence and measurement-based treatment approaches that are trauma-informed and experientially emotion-focused, including certification in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFCT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

I specialize in helping college students and young adults work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and the complexities of major life transitions. Together, we’ll uncover the roots of what’s holding you back and create a path forward that feels manageable and authentic. Trauma often leaves us feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed. I understand how hard it can be to face these feelings, especially when the past feels like it has a hold on the present. My approach is open, empathetic, and judgment-free, providing a space to process experiences and emotions at your own pace. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, a sudden life-altering event, or years of stress and struggle, we’ll approach it with curiosity and care. In addition to trauma, I have experience with body image concerns, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and navigating life as a young adult. I know these issues can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. Together, we’ll focus on practical steps to improve your day-to-day life while exploring the deeper patterns influencing your thoughts and actions. I use evidence-based approaches like DBT and CBT while tailoring our work to your specific needs. Therapy should empower you to become your own expert, offering insights and skills you can carry with you long after our sessions end. My goal is to help you uncover your full potential and take meaningful action toward the life you want. Outside of work, I balance my love of psychology with a passion for learning about the world through books, historical documentaries, and creative pursuits. I know the importance of finding joy and intellectual engagement outside of life’s challenges, a value I bring to my work with clients. If you’re ready to start your journey or just want to explore what therapy could look like for you, let’s take the first step together.

College is a big transition. It might be the first time you're living away from home—figuring out how to balance classes, friendships, roommates, and family expectations, all while trying to keep up and not fall behind. It’s exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, or just… a lot. If you’re struggling to find your rhythm, you’re not alone. And if you're an international student, this transition comes with even more layers—adapting to a new culture, navigating visa uncertainty, and maybe even thinking in a different language all day. I grew up between Italy and the U.S., so I understand firsthand how tough it can be to exist between worlds. I want to help you work through those challenges so you can focus on the fun parts of being a college student in New York. Therapy is a nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. The goal is to find balance—keeping up with your workload without burning out, navigating friendships and relationships, and making time for yourself in the middle of it all. You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you're feeling homesick, overwhelmed, or just trying to stay afloat, I’m here to support you.

Starting college and figuring out life as a young adult can feel exciting but also overwhelming! I’m a psychotherapist on the Upper East Side who works with college students navigating stress, relationships, academics, and life transitions. As a former college athlete, I support many student-athletes balancing the pressures both off and on the field. My approach is based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), where we work together to shift unhelpful thought patterns and build specific skills that help you reach your goals. If you’re curious about therapy, reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation, I’d love to connect.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, humanistic, and strength-based. I like to assess your needs and then draw from different therapeutic modalities to ensure we work together effectively to meet them. I am a culturally sensitive clinician who emphasizes working transparently and collaboratively with people of all backgrounds and orientations. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices such as in internal family systems (IFS) which helps clients to understand and heal the various parts of self that make up one’s internal world. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy, as well as mindfulness based and somatic therapy techniques for a holistic and tailored approach to managing anxiety, grief, healing emotional pain and trauma, building self confidence, and creating a calm and regulated nervous system. I am certified in Advanced Grief Counseling, Trauma-focused ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT. I have worked extensively with music industry professionals and creatives, as well as youth with varying abilities and disabilities, working predominantly with late teens (16+), adults, and couples. I specialize in trauma healing and recovery, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, executive functioning issues and navigating or healing from relationships. I began my career as a recreational therapist and earned my master's degree in Social Work from Binghamton University in upstate New York. I am drawn to social work because of my passion for helping others and my commitment to dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to therapy. With 13 years of experience in the mental health field, I understand that everyone is unique in their experiences, and I treat each person accordingly, offering a warm space where you will also be challenged.
