Therapists for college students near 10003

I’m Lily, a therapist who works with young adults, professionals, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are tired of living small, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. I believe therapy works best when it’s a real relationship, no blank stares, no “how does that make you feel?” on repeat. I show up as my full self so you can feel safe showing up as yours. In our sessions, we might: -Untangle anxious thoughts so they stop running the show -Explore the beliefs about yourself you didn’t even know you’d been carrying -Learn how to quiet that relentless inner critic -Heal the ways you relate to food, your body, and your worth -Strengthen your boundaries and self-trust I use tools from mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative storytelling, and Intuitive Eating, but always in a way that fits you.

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, it’s never enough? Maybe you find yourself picking apart your reflection in the mirror, replaying awkward conversations in your head, or wondering why relationships always feel harder than they should. You might feel caught between wanting to change and fearing it will always feel this way. I creates a space where you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach is compassionate, curious, and free of judgment. With warmth and a touch of humor, I help clients unpack the pressures and self-criticism that weigh them down so they can start building self-trust, healthier relationships, and a kinder connection to themselves.

Do you ever feel weighed down by emotions you can’t seem to shake, like anxiety that keeps you up at night, or shame that lingers long after the moment has passed? Maybe you’re navigating the highs and lows of relationships, struggling with self-worth, or trying to break free from old coping patterns that no longer serve you. Whatever you’re carrying, it can feel overwhelming to face it on your own. I creates a space where you don’t have to hide or minimize your feelings. With warmth, empathy, and creativity, I help clients sit with difficult emotions, unpack painful experiences, and begin rewriting the story they tell themselves. My goal is to help you feel respected, heard, and empowered to live more authentically.

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.

Underearning? "Undersucceeding?" Underadulting? Overwhelmed? If you're not where you thought you'd be by now; if anxiety, self-doubt or your past hold you back from the life, relationships or career you want; If you feel stuck, disconnected, stressed or defeated, let’s talk. We’ll explore experiences that have shaped your sense of self, affected how you relate to others, impacted what you expect and allow in your life, and influenced how you cope. We'll create an intentional, supportive space to help you craft a more empowering and authentic story, end self-sabotaging patterns, and close the gap between where you are and want to be.

You might be carrying something hard to name — a persistent unease, a quiet fear that has settled around your daily life, memories that surface at awkward times, or a low-level despair that you can’t quite explain or shake. You may have told yourself it isn’t serious enough to deal with, or that therapy isn’t really for someone like you. I became a therapist specifically to reduce the stigma around mental health care in African American and communities of color. As well as professionals in leadership, early-career professionals, legal professionals, educators, healthcare workers, and college and graduate students.

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.

Are you struggling with relationship conflicts in your romantic or platonic dynamics, perhaps you’re weighed down by family expectations, coping with defense mechanisms that once served you, but now fall short, or you’re distressed by unresolved trauma? Alternatively, are you dealing with a demanding career or feeling the pressure to maintain a life that appears successful on the outside yet feels overwhelming on the inside? 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.

As a licensed psychologist, I provide individual therapy for a range of concerns, including relationship stress, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parentification, and trauma. I work from a stance of openness and sincerity and strive to create a comfortable, collaborative environment in which clients feel understood and supported. My therapeutic style is flexible and tailored to each client’s unique concerns and lived experience. My approach is integrative and draws from psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, sensorimotor psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am EMDR trained and incorporate EMDR thoughtfully when clinically appropriate. I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The George Washington University, completed my APA-approved internship at Harvard Medical School, and fulfilled my postdoctoral fellowship at Tufts University.

Previously, I served as Assistant Director of Counseling at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and as a staff psychologist at Tufts University’s Counseling and Mental Health Services in Medford, Massachusetts.

NYC AFFIRMATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY LCSW PLLC is a remote, community-focused, sustainable, sliding-scale mental health practice in Manhattan, providing treatment to individual adults ages 18+. Our mission is simple: provide affirmative psychotherapy in a sustainable way to the community. By affirmative we mean that we do not view individuals from the perspective of being defective or needing to be fixed. We instead recognize the innate strengths that continue to allow people to function while enduring difficult life circumstances. Challenging childhoods and distressing adult experiences, coupled with the toxic impact of systemic oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and xenophobia impact our mental health. Our goal is to fill a gap in mental health services provided to those that are historically marginalized and disenfranchised; we are especially committed to serving queer communities of color. We also strive to be culturally aware and trauma-informed. And, most importantly, we’re here to help you feel better and make change. We firmly believe that change is possible and that we as human beings grow in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. You are not alone. Lets take the next step together.
