Therapists for college students near New York, NY

Welcome! Thank you for being here and your willingness to create positive changes so you can experience your life more fully. Starting therapy and connecting with a therapist isn’t always an easy task and often causes some anxiety or uncertainty. I want to acknowledge your decision and let you know that I am already proud of you for making this commitment to not doing it alone! I am a warm, compassionate therapist that will provide a space where you have the opportunity to be vulnerable without expectations or judgement. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and adults. My specialty is working with individuals experiencing ongoing challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, family matters, school/job related stressors, life transitions, relationship concerns and more. I take a client-centered approach to therapy and recognize each person has different needs and unique experiences that they carry with them, all of which are valuable during the time spent in session with me. I am experienced in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. I am intentional in working with my clients to explore their strengths, address stressors/barriers to change and facilitate their journey in creating real changes in their lives. I will work with you to ensure that you feel heard, safe and motivated while exploring emotions in session. When I’m not working, I am focused on my other passion that is cooking! I enjoy exploring and working with different recipes and making meaningful connections with others through food.

Elizabeth Sage Counseling specializes in working with students who struggle with OCD, perfectionism, excoriation disorder, anxiety, and relationship issues(communication coaching). From funny illustrations to free e-books we give many resources individualized to how you best absorb information. The goal of therapy is to help you NOT need therapy anymore. Expect a good balance of humor, creativity, and motivation to help you create the life you want outside of your fears.

I’ve worked at a large nonprofit mental health agency providing culturally responsive care to children and adults. I collaborated closely with medical, psychiatric, and clinical teams to ensure individualized, effective treatment for each client. This experience strengthened my ability to deliver thoughtful, coordinated care grounded in each person’s unique needs.

I have experience in supporting and empowering BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ clients by creating a liberating space free of judgment and stigmatization, and by providing holistic care in your quest for healthier mental health.

Therapy can deepen your capacity for love, trust, and connection — with yourself and with others. I’ve seen it ease depression, anxiety, and shame; strengthen self-esteem; and help people become more resilient during life’s ups and downs. Most of all, it can bring forward a truer, more authentic self. Therapy is a collaborative process. You speak, and I listen closely — for what’s said and what lies beneath the surface — helping you see what may be getting in the way of a more fulfilling life. As Carl Rogers wrote: “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” I’ve found that to be true. Patients find it helpful to explore childhood, memories that bubble up, dreams, feelings, fears, wishes — whatever arises. Our aim is an understanding of your inner world that leads to meaningful action & choice. With couples, I help you listen more clearly & break entrenched patterns. Everyone longs to be seen and heard & I'll help you arrive at that place. As a therapist and writer, I’m inspired to help each patient take hold of their narrative — understanding where they’ve come from & where they’d like to go. As we get to know one another, I tailor my style to your personality and needs. Your feedback is always encouraged. Email me to schedule a consultation & see if we’re a good fit.

I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Supportive Counseling to create a compassionate, collaborative space where you can explore, heal, and grow.

ALL SESSIONS ARE TELEHEALTH TAILORED TO YOUR SCHEDULE.

I work with LGBTQ+ folks and anyone navigating trauma, OCD, anxiety, perfectionism, or big life transitions... like college students who are panic googling "what am I doing with my life??" at 2am. If you want to make sense of it all without judgment, basic "talk therapy," or silent nods behind a clipboard and want a therapist who keeps things chill, real, and sometimes even funny - I'm your girl. Whether you're spiraling over every “what if,” feeling stuck in patterns that stem from the past, or feeling like you’re losing your mind trying to figure out who you are & where you’re going, we'll work through this together.

Great to meet you! I’m honored to introduce myself as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I am also a Certified Grief Educator and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and much of my work focuses on helping people navigate grief, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that healing happens when people feel safe to explore their experiences and discover their strengths. My practice covers many issues, from depression and anxiety to trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, Autism, emotional dysregulation, workplace challenges, life and career transitions, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. Additionally, I am here to support your journey of self-discovery, assisting you in your search for identity and purpose. My clients often describe me as compassionate, insightful, warm, and caring. These qualities are at the heart of my therapeutic approach. I am dedicated to creating a safe and empathetic space where you can express your concerns, explore your thoughts and emotions, and work towards solutions.

My passion is helping people improve their relationships and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I enjoy working with people who are curious about how they experience the world, and who are facing challenges with major life transitions, relationships, creativity, and gender/sexuality. My approach to treatment is warm and eclectic. Therapy is a space to be curious and challenge yourself without judgment. I hope to engage you in an exploratory process to get to the root of what has been troubling you. People often find themselves caught in longstanding, unconscious patterns that show up in many areas of their lives. By working together to identify what these patterns are and how they do or don't serve you, we can create more space in your life for freedom and choice to live as you desire. Good therapy is most of all about a good fit between you and your therapist. I believe you can best gauge our fit by meeting with me, and so I offer a free 15-minute consultation for you to get a feel for how I work, and to bring forth your questions and concerns. I look forward to getting started!

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment.

I strive to bring warmth, empathy, and patience to my work, and I encourage clients to identify and leverage their unique strengths and capabilities.

We are often engaging in life through the means that we have been taught by all of those who have come before us. Life has become a perpetual cycle where bliss, peace, harmony, and all of the other facets that make life worth living seem to escape us more and more. Instead, we are trapped in depression, anxiety, distrust, judgment and more often than not our physical temples are suffering. Collectively, a shift in perception is needed. This starts with the individual. Traditional integrative psychotherapy infused with an array of healing modalities intuitively tailored to your specific needs. The sessions can include Kundalini yoga and Meditation, Energetic Clearing, Light Language, Shadow Work Healing, Ancestral Clearing, Womb Activation Healing & Cosmic Coding. ​ If you do not have self –awareness; if you do not bask in your own love, if you are running on autopilot and have no INNERstanding- the world around you will reflect this. Your life is your classroom it is perfectly woven to bring you back to you. No exceptions. Take the time to be in relationship with self and know that all else will follow.
