Therapists for college students near 10003
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) offering collaborative, creative, and strengths-based therapy. Rooted in psychodynamic, relational, and trauma-informed approaches, I create a space where you can show up fully—curious, overwhelmed, messy, or hopeful—and be met with care and curiosity. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic illness, grief, and LGBTQ+ identity. As a queer and trans therapist, I know how powerful it is to be seen and affirmed without needing to explain yourself. I earned my MSW from the Smith College School for Social Work, a program rooted in psychodynamic and anti-oppressive practice. I currently offer virtual therapy in the state of New York. Please reach out if you would like to schedule a consultation and see if we may be a good fit to work together. I look forward to hearing from you.
I work with young adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, obsessional thinking, mood disorders, and relationship stress. As a DBT-trained therapist, I integrate acceptance and change strategies to help clients achieve their goals, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical skills to navigate the toughest of days.

If you’re introducing your clinical practice as an LCSW specializing in ADHD, depression, family conflict, and self-esteem, you’ll want to clearly communicate your areas of expertise and how you approach helping clients. Here’s a suggestion for your introduction: Welcome to my practice! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialized focus in helping individuals and families navigate challenges related to ADHD, depression, family conflict, and self-esteem. I understand that these issues can impact various aspects of your life, from relationships to personal well-being. In my practice, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re struggling with attention difficulties, facing emotional lows, or working through family dynamics, my goal is to help you develop practical skills for coping, improving your mental health, and fostering stronger relationships. If you’re seeking support in understanding and managing ADHD, finding ways to improve your self-esteem, resolving family conflicts, or addressing depression, I am here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your concerns and move toward healing. Let’s work together to help you build a life filled with confidence, peace, and understanding. Feel free to adjust based on your tone and what you feel best represents your approach!
Whether you struggle with concerns like anxiety or depression, relationships or career concerns, or have experienced racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or other forms of oppression in your life, our team of clinicians strive to be deeply in tune with the ways these dynamics interact with your well-being and mental health. We believe that the foundation of therapy is the quality of the relationship with your provider. Our therapists receive intensive, ongoing training and supervision on how to listen and effectively respond to your needs. From the moment you schedule your first session with us, our team will be dedicated to your progress and success in therapy through its focused, sensitive, and collaborative approach.
Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Are you proud of your achievements but still feel there is a disconnect between how you want to live your life and how things are shaping up for you now, almost like you are watching a movie or living someone else’s life? It can be hard to even start a conversation about how to alleviate the way you’re feeling, when you are unsure about how the disconnection occurred and what exactly the disconnect is. I’m here to help you figure that out. I am passionate about empowering clients to figure out their own unique truth, joy, and fulfillment in life. Therapy can be the space for you to do exactly that. Sometimes the anxiety or depression we face is a symptom of a disconnection from our deeper selves, so a large focus of my work with clients is to empower them to find their voice, their truth, and to deepen their sense of congruence. I was drawn to therapy from my prior career having seen firsthand the enormous value therapy can bring us in improving both the quality and enjoyment of our lives. My approach is supportive, curious, and collaborative so that you can explore your experiences in a safe and culturally sensitive environment. Every client’s needs are completely unique, and no one is defined by their symptoms or challenges, so I adapt my approach based on your goals and objectives. I believe that honesty and directness are essential skills for therapists so that our clients can recognize patterns that don’t serve them well. I will share the truth of what I’m seeing with kindness and respect. Sometimes this means exploring uncomfortable experiences or feelings, and I will be your partner as you come to a deeper understanding of these experiences, and free yourself of their hold on you. I invite you to start by imagining what the best outcome could look like for you, and we will go from there.
Are you having trouble managing day-to-day worries and fears? Do you struggle with imposter syndrome in a world where everything is social media perfect? Do you struggle with people-pleasing? Finding yourself saying yes when you would rather say no? This can create anxiety and dissatisfaction in our lives and relationships and can leave us feeling resentful and unfulfilled. We’ll work together to dig deep, identify your challenges and create solutions to effectively manage the difficult situations you find yourself in over and over again. We’ll develop a plan to shift old patterns and behaviors that are keeping you from living your best life. My goal is for you to live more authentically with a greater sense of understanding and connection to yourself and others. I offer guidance and support in developing self-awareness and building effective coping skills to break free from anxiety and stress while accessing one’s own inner resilience, strength, and wisdom. If you are ready to find a new sense of confidence and meaning in your life, I’m here to help you get there.
Is your relationship with food affecting your friendships, dating life, or academics? Do you skip campus events or meals with friends because you're anxious about eating in front of others? Many people who struggle with food experience negative thoughts about themselves, poor body image, or develop eating disorders. If you're ready to take back control of your life, now may be the time to reach out for support. Together, we’ll explore your relationship with food, build strategies to help you regain a sense of control, and address the underlying intrusive thoughts getting in the way. With years of professional experience, I specialize in helping BIPOC individuals and allies improve body positivity and explore the connection between food and trauma. Together, we’ll examine how your values align with your behaviors, practice body acceptance, and develop coping skills to help you manage eating disorder urges. While I specialize in eating disorders, I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs and how I can support you.
My ideal client may be struggling with a wide array of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, academic pressures, life transitions, or identity exploration. They may require support in developing effective coping strategies, enhancing their emotional regulation skills, and building a strong sense of self-worth. They may also need guidance in understanding their mental health, navigating interpersonal dynamics, or setting or achieving goals. The goals for my ideal client often revolve around self-discovery and personal growth. As a therapist-in-training with a background in social work and chemical dependency counseling, I specialize in helping college students navigate life's complexities. I understand that college can be a time of significant stress, change, and personal development, and I am here to support you as you face these challenges. I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when you're already managing so much. Therapy is not about "fixing" you; it's about understanding you—your story, your strengths, your struggles, and your hopes. It's about creating a space where you can be your most authentic self without fear of judgment.

I am a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) and licensed creative arts therapist (LCAT). I work from a foundation of person-centered and psychodynamic psychotherapy and emphasize trauma informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive care. My work focuses on working collaboratively with clients to develop caring and compassionate relationships in a space of safety and healing. I utilize traditional talk therapy as well as working through recorded music, singing, improvisational music-making and instrument play to encourage creativity and enhance joy. I have received advanced training in trauma and the arts from Kint Institute, had writing focused on several professional publications, and presented at national and regional conferences. Most recently, I was the co-author of a chapter in Creative Arts Therapies and the LGBTQ Community. I also run workshops and individual sessions utilizing singing as a form of wellness, and supportive groups for body neutrality/fat positivity.
No matter what the circumstances, stress and worry have a way of creeping into our minds and bodies. Whether it’s old wounds, unwanted patterns of behaviors, or the pressures of recent circumstances, if you need someone to truly listen— objectively and with care — you’ve come to the right place. As trained and qualified professionals at Marsh Psychotherapy, we are here in whatever format you need, offering video and phone sessions to protect your physical wellbeing, while we focus on your emotional wellbeing. Just as we would through in-person therapy sessions, our therapists will listen and engage in a productive dialogue. We will help you process your concerns in a safe and non judgmental environment.
Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with individuals, families, and couples I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with clients on body-image-related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance. As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that relational work can be an incredible way to embark on a healing journey. No one lives on this earth alone, nor should we feel as though we do. Strengthening or rebuilding our relationships, even the one we have with ourselves, can positively impact our lives in incredible ways.
PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES: Rebecca’s clinical focus is on helping adult female identified dancers develop healthy relationships with their bodies and food. She guides clients in reconnecting with their bodies, often using the process of “embodiment,” a multilayered awareness of your body and how you connect to or relate to the world around you. Through the holistic practices of mind- body awareness, Rebecca educates her clients on how their emotions may sometimes be reflected through physical symptoms, often called psychosomatic symptoms. Working with Rebecca, clients also receive guidance on eating in a self attuned way to manage disordered eating behaviors. She works from the Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective and helps clients understand the internal and external factors that contribute to disordered eating, body image issues and problems with self esteem. Dancers are always on display, whether taking recreational classes at the studio or at rehearsal and especially during performances. Outside of the dance world, there’s the everyday societal expectations of how our bodies should be. Rebecca is familiar with the unique challenges dancers face on and off stage. PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT COACHING FOR PERFORMING ARTISTS: Contact Rebecca for more information. With her background in Applied Sports and Performance Psychology, Rebecca offers individual and group coaching sessions to adult dancers. Coaching sessions are available to help dancers of all levels achieve improved overall performance, using mental skills training. Coaching is separate from health care service.
