Therapists for college students near New York University
As a Creative Arts Psychotherapist and Drama Therapist, I interweave creative expressive techniques along with traditional talk therapy to support you in releasing old patterns and habits, identify places you feel stuck, and move towards a place of self acceptance, healing, and growth. My role as therapist includes being a guide and support on your unique journey, utilizing both creative expression and talk therapy depending on your needs and level of comfort. I believe that real change happens when we connect mind and body, allowing us to explore places that hold us back, and reconnect with ourselves to live a more full and joyful life. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self esteem issues, and learning differences.
We are a group psychology practice of compassionate and skilled clinicians delivering therapy services tailored to fit the needs of our clients. Drs. Rachel Hutt, Jessica Renz, and Rebecca Skolnick founded MindWell NYC in 2017 to provide emotional wellness services to children, adolescents, adults, and parents in an inclusive, friendly, and warm environment. We specialize in cognitive, dialectical, and mindfulness-based behavior therapies and teach our clients practical tools for leading a more fulfilled life.
If you're struggling with anxiety and depression or find yourself feeling stuck, you may have come to the conclusion that you need some extra help. Therapy is the right place for breaking free and retaking control of your life. I utilize a warm, humanistic, competent style in addressing the obstacles that you face. I specialize in helping people suffering from anxiety, depression and PTSD. I am trained in multi-model psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and I aim to help you to utilize your knowledge of yourself to regain control over your life and to express yourself authentically. I'd like to help you get to the root of the problems you face. I encourage individuals to take a deeper, introspective dive, explore what might be going on beneath the surface and understand themselves in a new way. I’ll ask some thought provoking questions and offer you some insights to help you in this process. Complementing my focus on your individual experience is my in-depth extensive training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Training Institute for Mental Health and continued study of psychoanalysis. Reach out to me for a free phone consultation, and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
I’m a psychologist who practices primarily from psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches. Psychotherapy is a method of personal change and self-discovery through conversation. It’s unlike most conversations that we get to have in our day-to-day lives because no topic is off limits. The areas we delve into will include your stressors, relationships, sexuality, dreams, fantasies, anger, anxieties, and the unconscious motivations for your decisions.
Whether you are navigating a life transition, seeking to work through long-term issues and persistent patterns, or feeling stuck, I am here to support you in developing better ways of relating to yourself and others. I specialize in working with adults experiencing difficulties such as depression and anxiety, interpersonal challenges, professional issues, and identity and self-esteem concerns. I work primarily from a psychoanalytic/psychodynamic orientation and take an open-ended, exploratory approach. I believe this can help you develop insight about yourself and your experiences, sometimes in ways that have been outside your awareness, leading to greater self-acceptance and meaningful growth and change. I look forward to helping you become more curious about yourself and explore your inner life, and can consult with you to see if we would be a good fit.
