Therapists for college students near New York University

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through stress, mood-related challenges, and life transitions. I work with college students and young adults navigating academic pressure, career decisions, relationship challenges, and fitness-related goals. Many of the students I work with feel overwhelmed, mentally drained, or unsure about their next steps.

Steven is a Licensed Clinician Social worker and former teacher with a focus on truly connecting with clients and understanding their unique needs. He became a therapist because he saw too many people struggling to be heard, understood, or find tools that actually improve their lives. Over the years, he's developed practical, proven approaches that have helped many clients move forward. Steven typically works with young adults struggling with anxiety, panic, OCD, and life transitions/habits they wish to change.

My approach as a therapist focuses on providing a space that centers your dignity and care. As a professor and administrator in a university, I recognize and understand the competing needs and interests of students. Sometimes managing studies, and other responsibilities, including work, family, relationships, can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to prioritize what is important. This might manifest as burnout, lack of focus, feelings of anxiety or sadness, as well as chronic or recurring illness, fatigue, impulsive behavior, or isolation. Often it is helpful to have a safe space to unload and release what is on our minds, and share what we are holding. I understand starting this therapeutic process requires courage and vulnerability, and I am dedicated to building a collaborative partnership that honors your experiences and needs, offers a space where you are seen and heard, and feels empowering. My therapeutic approach is care centered, and incorporates a social justice and trauma informed lens, to meet your unique needs and identities. When helpful, I also used mindfulness and somatic approaches to support reflection, regulation, and resilience. Reach out to schedule a Free 15-minute Video Consultation to help us determine if we're the right fit. I look forward to working with you!

I provide therapy through WellQor, offering convenient online counseling for college students and young adults throughout New York. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or life changes, and they're looking for a space where they can be honest about what they're experiencing without fear of judgment. I especially enjoy working with students who are exploring their identity, adjusting to new environments, navigating transitions, or struggling with feelings of sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply want to better understand yourself, therapy can help you build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and create a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals. I believe some of the biggest periods of growth happen during times of transition and self-discovery. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, exploring your experiences, and developing tools to support your emotional well-being. WellQor accepts most major insurance plans, making quality mental health care more accessible. I'd be honored to support you as you work toward feeling more confident, balanced, and connected in both college and everyday life.

My ideal clients are immigrants, women, and parents navigating transitions such as infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and identity shifts. Many feel overwhelmed, isolated, or caught between cultural expectations and personal needs. They often seek support for anxiety, self-worth, relationship stress, and feeling stuck. I use a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that blends insight with practical tools to help clients regulate emotions, build self-understanding, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and balance. I help immigrants, women, and parents navigate infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and identity transitions. I use a collaborative, trauma-informed approach blending insight with practical tools like emotional regulation and boundary setting. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, tailored to your culture, values, and goals. You don’t have to carry this alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where you belong, therapy can offer a space to slow down and make sense of your experience. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out and begin moving toward clarity, support, and a stronger sense of self.

Do you feel like you have little control over your thoughts? Do you have difficulty sharing and making sense of your feelings? These issues may be the result of limited self-awareness, and/or challenges managing and regulating your emotions. These challenges can sometimes lead to difficulty managing conflict in your relationships with others whether at home/work/socially. Seeking support through therapy is an excellent first step. Therapy can help you gain insight and awareness on how past experiences affect your current relationships and behavior patterns. As a first-generation Indian female, I have a unique perspective on culture and family dynamics. I understand the importance of cultural/social elements in one’s development and perception. Through these experiences, I have learned that therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” modality but instead must take into consideration each person’s unique background. I serve young adults of all backgrounds. I am particularly interested in helping those struggling with anxiety, ADHD, body dysmorphia, depression, and attachment issues. In addition, I serve people dealing with cultural trauma.

Are you struggling with a pattern of over-extending yourself? Do you find yourself taking care of others, sometimes at your own expense? Have you noticed a not-so-secret desire for perfectionism lurking behind some of your choices? Would others describe you as "ultra-independent"? Do you often struggle with saying "no" and with stopping the worrying and planning? Have you noticed often feeling tired, irritable, burned out, and possibly resentful? How about frequent headaches, stomach issues, and body aches? Would you say all of this places a strain on your mood, relationships, work, and health?

Growing up as a first-generation Indian in Australia allowed me to understand the concept of intersectionality and its impact on our well-being. I became a therapist because I wanted to destigmatize mental health in South Asian communities and use my career to speak up about “taboo” subjects like grief, sex, relationships, and many more. Being born in India, raised in Australia, and educated in the United Kingdom, I have seen how culture and social differences influence behavior. I tailor my work to your background, needs, and values, striving to create a warm and trusted environment. I will support you in overcoming adversity while challenging you to think critically and mindfully.

Mental health is all too often misunderstood and discriminated against. This stigma can distort our perceptions and deter us from our need for help, keeping us from a natural unfolding and realignment. Nevertheless, your mental health should be your priority. The thoughts and worries we all experience are our own personal truths, regardless of whether our situation conforms to others’ ideas of mental health. I feel that getting unstuck in life requires a perceptual shift, wherein we stop judging our ‘issues’ as failings but through self-compassion proceed to creatively light our path. My approach offers an eclectic, client-centered approach with special consideration for holistic recovery, mindfulness, and mind-body wellness. I believe that through therapy, we can find inner peace, authentic happiness and ways in which we can present ourselves genuinely: as flawed people working to grow. My priority is the relationship that I develop with each client and I am adamant that through this connection, an understanding of the underlying thoughts and feelings that drive behavior can flourish and then be utilized to begin and maintain desired changes. If we can accept our current state, then healing can occur and we can begin to move forward.

Moreover, are you experiencing feelings of irritability, anger, or a sense of emptiness that arises without any clear explanation? No matter what brings you here, my goal is to help you rediscover your voice.

I work with teens, young adults, older adults, couples, and families, and over that time I have walked alongside people facing just about every kind of life and mental health challenge.

You're not out of options - in fact, therapy could be the start of a great new chapter in your life.

I help college students, graduate students, and university faculty manage stress, cope with painful emotions, and navigate school, work, and relationships. Higher education offers a huge opportunity for growth and self-discovery, but it also presents unique stressors and challenges. In addition to treating anxiety and depression, I work regularly with issues of perfectionism, peer comparison, academic pressure, and burnout. I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore identity issues, adjust to new situations and life phases, and examine possible career directions. I believe that great therapy is tailored to meet clients’ needs and goals, so I integrate a variety of approaches into my work, including insight-oriented methods, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Depending on what a client brings to each session, we might work on specific tools to address a current problem, examine the origins of a long-standing pattern, or explore some of life’s biggest questions together. I believe in the inherent resiliency of my clients, and I empower them to tap into their inner strengths and resources. At the foundation of my practice is always the relationship with my clients, which is built on mutual trust and active collaboration. My professional training includes degrees in Psychology (BA, Harvard University), Social Work (MSW, University of Chicago), and Higher Education (EdD, Northeastern University), along with experience in university counseling, academic and career advising, community mental health, and international education. Clients describe me as authentic, attentive, compassionate, and dedicated. While I am not in-network for any insurance providers, many university students have out-of-network benefits that they can use to seek insurance reimbursement for our sessions. I am happy to assist clients in this process. Please visit my website for more information. I am based in Cambridge MA and licensed across MA, NY, DC, and CT.
