Therapists for college students near New York University
There are numerous transitions in life. Teenagers moving from high school to college, young adults leaving college to enter the work force and all of the transitions in an adult life: relationships, job changes, growing a family and more. As individuals navigate through life transitions, they can find themselves feeling stuck or overwhelmed waiting to settle into the new. These transitions range in time and can take weeks or months to navigate. This time brings new challenges and barriers to overcome and asks us to respond in new ways. We will work together to recognize that each transition is truly a new beginning. I believe in providing a caring and supportive healing environment for my clients so that we may develop a trusting working relationship. During the course of treatment we will work collaboratively to help clarify issues, set goals, gain insight and understanding, and create more effective and satisfying methods of moving forward in your life.

I believe in hope, love, equality, equity, inclusion, and kindness. I also believe in science, accountability, and the impact that trauma has on our functioning. In my practice, I feel comfortable addressing any differences in gender, race, and ethnicity with my clients and the impact that these might have on the working relationship and overall treatment. Many of my clients come to me because they're starting to realize certain things they've experienced when they were younger, or even recently, are starting to have a negative impact on their lives, their ability be happy, and their ability to form new and healthy relationships. My practice focuses on working with those who are ready to address those experiences.
If you are located in NY and RI, I can provide you year-round teletherapy when you are at away at college and at home, as I am licensed in both states. I have worked for 7 years at a college counseling center, and so I know first-hand the many barriers to seeking help at your college's counseling center, and reasons why a college counseling center may not have been the right fit or positive experience for you. I am passionate about removing barriers to care, and providing you with the help and support you need while away at college, and home on breaks. I am a seasoned, experienced therapist, dedicated to helping my clients feel joy, hope, worthiness, and fulfillment. College can be a really difficult time and I am here to support you. My current clients see me as someone who is caring, calm, empathic, and goes the extra mile. I work hard to create a safe, trusting space where you can share freely. I am very experienced in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, trauma from a sexual assault or relationships violence, processing trauma from childhood, and current family boundary struggles, homesickness, feeling like your college is not the right fit, struggling to find your major/passion/career path, struggling around your sexuality or gender identity-or struggling with the many ways society/family makes it difficult to live out your authentic life, roommate struggles, struggles around making big life decisions during college, feeling like the "only" at your college related to race, or gender identity, sexuality or ethnicity or nationality, feeling lonely in college, and many more struggles that can make college challenging, and not what you hoped for or expected. These are just some of the struggles you might be experiencing in college, and I can help. I have a virtual-only practice. Even through the computer screen my clients report feeling that I am a warm, attentive, invested therapist. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you with whatever you are going through. You don’t have to go through this alone. Please know there is hope and healing in your future. You deserve care and help.

I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness. My approach focuses on having fewer negative emotions, and also on more positive emotions. I offer tools that research has demonstrated are very effective for reducing suffering. I also assist you in seeing meaningful, practical change by compassion, warmth, and empathy with a bit of humor. However, there is no cookie-cutter approach. We work together, openly, to customize your treatment directly to your needs and strengths. I frequently work with POCs, high-achieving students and professionals, folks in major transitions, and those coping with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, procrastination, and worrying. I have a particular skill in working with women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals and people new to therapy and welcome your questions!
It is the mission of Morris Cognitive Behavioral Consulting to meet clients where they are when they enter treatment and help them come to a place of radical acceptance of their current circumstances. Dr. Morris has an interactive, direct style that, at times, feels more like coaching than traditional psychotherapy. She focuses on enhancing a client’s motivation, as well as helping them find the balance between acceptance and change. Their goal is to locate the “gray area” between extremes in thinking, emotions, and behavior. It is these extremes, which lead to common problems in living, relationship difficulties, or severe mental and behavioral symptoms. Dr. Morris believes in doing more than helping individuals reduce troubling symptoms; she wants to help clients break free from ineffective behavioral patterns and, more importantly, truly heal. She is committed to teaching clients how to stop emotions from controlling their lives. She strives to help clients overcome barriers that keep them stuck in negative behaviors, life patterns, or relationships that hinder their ability to reach their desired goals and live fully. Dr. Morris channels her unrelenting energy, straightforward style, and radical genuineness to help shift clients into resolving these barriers and ineffective patterns. She hopes to enable clients to become more skillful in their everyday experience so they can be more effective at reaching their goals while, ultimately, creating lives worth living. Dr. Morris specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions, strength-based approaches that focus specifically on practical coping skill acquisition, which are uniquely tailored to each client's individual goals. She offers a range of evidence-based therapy, group, and consulting services to children, adolescents, adults, families, schools, and organizations.
Hi, I'm Kayla! My goal as a therapist is to guide my clients to learn various coping strategies to help them help themselves. I assist clients with building their toolkit to give them the necessary skills to help them better manage stress. I have experience helping children, teens and families through all different stages of life. As a part of the Insightful Paths Team, I am fully licensed in New York and able to serve any areas of NY by offering tele-health sessions. My approach to therapy is built around what works best for the client. I've worked with various ages in one-on-one or family sessions with focuses ranging from depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, RAD (reactive attachment disorder), and ODD (oppositional defiant disorder). The therapeutic interventions I use are rooted in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), and art therapy. While some clients prefer art/games, others may prefer strictly talk-based interventions; while others may prefer a combination. I look forward to working together so we can reach your individual or family goals!
I think about patients from a psychodynamic perspective, and I make liberal use of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In plain English? In all therapeutic endeavors, I try to maintain a balance between exploring early contributors to current troubles on the one hand -- and, on the other, focusing on present-day patterns that maintain or exacerbate them. I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. I'm interested in making those processes more conscious, so you have more awareness and control over your decisions and actions. I am sometimes quiet in session so we can observe where your thoughts and feelings lead us -- but I am not a passive listener, so I will give you plenty of feedback at intervals. Difficult moments in therapy, whether due to the subject matter of our talks or to the nature of our interaction, are usually blessings in disguise-- they are often clues that we can examine for their relevance to your current ordeals.

To contact me by phone please call 845- 795-8030 and dial extension 704 . The unique dilemmas of our time have created life stressors, specific to the gen z and millennial generations. Claire has experience assisting young-adults as they navigate a range of struggles such as reaching career fulfillment, exploring the dating world, healing from unhealthy relationships or difficult break-ups, codependency, coping with family dynamics, perfectionism, identity development, newfound responsibilities and life transitions. Young-adults benefit from a combination of talk, experiential, and expressive therapeutic techniques that allow for greater exploration and understanding of feelings in a somatic and not solely verbal way. There are many ways to navigate life's landscape. Each person has a unique life process. Claire currently facilitates the adult mental wellness support group, "Building Roots." If you're feeling alone in the relationship you have with your mental health then join us to discover a sense of wholeness within a caring community. In group you'll come to know yourself on a deeper level, increase self-compassion and understanding of others, grow your support network, strengthen communication skills and develop new insight. "Building Roots" has flexibility to host meetings in nature with the group's consent and may be virtual or in-person based on member's needs. Meetings will include elements of meditation, mindfulness-based practices, interpersonal processing, writing exercises, and expressive arts therapy. The process of finding a therapist can bring up feelings of nerves and discomfort. Today you braced that and I applaud you for it. A strong client-therapist relationship promotes progress and allows for a meaningful connection to occur for the both of us. If you feel like I may be a good fit in guiding you along your path of healing, please reach out.
My philosophy in working with others is to work within a respectful and collaborative relationship, with a here-and-now orientation, that acknowledges your strengths and competencies. My belief is that you know yourself better than anyone and it is you who determines your therapy goals. I recognize that change is a process and occurs on a continuum or in stages. Where you are on this continuum will help guide our work supporting a very individualized treatment experience. I approach therapy with a sense of shared expertise - client and therapist each co-creating successful experience and outcome. In other words - you are not alone! I work within an integrated model of care which is strongly influenced and rooted in Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), positive psychology, harm reduction, mindfulness meditation, self-compassion and acceptance-based approaches all of which are now considered mainstream approaches to psychotherapy. I am also greatly influenced by the evidence-based teachings of Lifestyle Medicine as they impact emotional well-being. I specialize in the treatment of relationship issues including infidelity; depression, anxiety and its spectrum disorders; grief and loss issues, including pet loss; lifestyle and its impact on health and wellness (nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep and social support), sexuality concerns (including but not limited to those impacting individuals who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, gay dads and coming out issues), as well as men dealing with compulsive sexual behavior, erectile dysfunction (ED), Internet pornography; and those living with chronic illness, HIV/AIDS related concerns, alcohol and substance use.
I work with adults and teens experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. Therapy is a space where you can develop insight into how you became the person you are, while learning to have more compassion for yourself. You can explore how to cope with life's challenges in a way that feels healthy and practical. So many of us are carrying heavy emotional burdens which impact how we show up in the world, for our families, and for ourselves. We often feel alone with our feelings, stuck in a place of shame, unsure of how to heal and move forward. I believe we are greatly influenced by our early experiences with our families and caregivers. How did those experiences mold you into who you are, and how might they be holding you back? Changing your relationship with yourself is integral to living the life you want. My work also includes helping clients to look at how their thoughts impact mood and behavior. I enjoy integrating mindfulness practices and other strategies so that clients gain practical strategies to deal with the inevitable challenges we all face. Let's move from a place of self-blame to a place of acceptance and healing. Please reach out today.
Clients who seek my practice include those experiencing range of emotional distress or confusion, seeking clarity and balance in their life.

Long or short term therapy available, person-based.

My specialty is ‘extreme stuckness’. My approach is intense, caring, tough, and free-flowing rather than structured. My therapy groups are full of challenging, brilliant, courageous people who seek depth and growth. All the therapists in our group practice are trained in a meta-approach called "Feedback Informed Treatment" which means that we track how things are going session-by-session to see if anything needs to change about our work together to help you get where you want to go.
