Therapists for college students near New York, NY
My guide in counseling is to create a safe and welcoming environment that promotes autonomy, open and honest communication and support to be who you are, where you are while working on where you want to be. For many, the notion of therapy implies that “something is wrong” when it is quite the opposite. The clarity it takes to acknowledge, accept and receive therapy or ‘mind maintenance’ as I like to call it, means you are self-aware, and there is nothing wrong with that. I specialize in a bad da...
I believe that each and every individual is unique, from the issues you face to the path in which life has taken you. I apply this idea to every client that I work with. I work hard to listen to your struggles, help you process the emotions you may be facing, and collaborate to find solutions that are going to be the best fit for you. I look for clients who are open to an equal amount of support and challenge from their therapist, as I believe both of those ideas are vital to making positive gro...

I’ve always thought that the most beautiful and interesting trees in the forest are the ones that grow into unique forms, shaped by their environment but finding a way to adapt and thrive. Similarly, life’s challenges can shape us in profound ways, but they can also leave us feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck. I’m Rob Gooding, a second-year graduate student at St. Bonaventure University studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals n...
