Therapists for college students near New York University
Bussey Holistic Therapy is founded on the premise that all human beings have an innate desire for balance, healing, and growth. How each person defines these concepts are individually unique. I view each client as a whole person–mind, body, and spirit. I meet each client where they are in order to help them meet their personal goals. As a therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey. Although life has the potential to be joyful and fulfilling, at times we all face challenges. This is part of the human condition and none of us is immune. While we may generally have the resilience to cope and to move through difficult experiences, there are those times when we become aware that additional support and resources may be helpful in navigating difficult circumstances, healing from painful experiences from the past; or when we become aware of thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that we would like to address in order to live a richer life. Therapy can be a constructive resource offering a safe space to heal and grow.
Feeling stuck or unfulfilled in different areas of your life? Would you like support that is professional and confidential? Unlike talking to friends and family, therapy offers a safe space where you can put words to things that are difficult to say, and confront things from your past that seem to interfere with your life in the present. Therapy can lead to deeper self-awareness and insight that can empower you to make the changes you need to live your best life. Everyone has the power to grow and heal with the right conditions and tools. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 yrs of experience. I've worked in various settings with people from diverse backgrounds, but college student mental health has been my passion. I've worked in the counseling centers at John Jay, UT Health Science Center, Princeton, and Cornell to name a few. I've also been a certified academic success coach.
My clients seek support in developing coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges associated with the college experience. My foundational approach is rooted in person-centered and strengths-based principles. I employ an eclectic toolkit with methods from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Creative Arts Therapies, and Design Thinking to guide the therapeutic process. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working across diverse settings such as medical clinics, universities, corporate environments, and private practice. This journey has allowed me to connect deeply with people as they share their experiences and craft their intended stories. What energizes me is collaborating with clients as they navigate their unique life paths. My goal is to provide a nurturing and inclusive space that promotes healing – a place where clients feel safe to explore challenges and cultivate a practice of self-compassion.
My name is Angela Burd, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY. I have a trauma-informed approach while ensuring to incorporate evidence-based modalities into treatment. I have years of experience in treating and diagnosing adults, children, adolescents with behavioral struggles both as a clinical therapist and a Senior Director over seeing programs for the Office of Mental Health, Addiction, and School Based Services.
Many of us move through life feeling disconnected and alone. We long for connection but often hold back from fully being seen. Change can feel risky, so we cling to what's familiar, even when it no longer serves us. Over time, this avoidance can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. If you are fed up with how things are going in your life, I got you! Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure of who they are beyond the roles they've learned to play. As your therapist, I work hard to know you, and I take great care in helping you explore and reimagine aspects of yourself that have been shaped by your personal history. I work with adults navigating family dynamics, relationships, identity, and cultural expectations. I recognize the power and importance of this work, and I understand that deep and lasting change takes time. I won't rush you to a goal before you're ready, and I'll hold space for your process without judgment, pressure, or impatience. I'll encourage you, support you, and, most importantly, empower you to consider "leaning" into change, which I often describe as "dipping toes in the water." So come as you are, and together we'll figure out where to dip in!

Do you feel deeply, think a lot, and sometimes wish your brain had an “off” switch? Are you exploring your identity and looking for a space that affirms all of who you are—queer, neurodivergent, artistic, sensitive? Are you going through a big change—like starting college, coming out, or navigating independence—and feeling lost or unsure of your place in the world? Are you drawn to self-growth, even when it feels overwhelming or hard to quiet your inner critic? My practice may be a good fit for you if you're looking to explore these questions. I’ve worked with many individuals to develop therapeutic goals and take meaningful steps toward achieving them. Past clients have reported experiencing less anxiety and depression, developing effective ways to manage and cope with their emotions, and feeling a deeper connection to themselves and others.

ADHD is more than just "having difficulty focusing," and no, not "everyone has a little bit of ADHD" as many people claim nowadays. The impact of ADHD is pervasive and can keep you from reaching your goals, connecting with others, maintaining a routine despite knowing that it would be helpful, and constantly "masking" for fear that you will not be accepted as you are. Life administrative tasks feel daunting and get postponed repeatedly, and the negative self-talk that ensues as a result takes a further toll and increases avoidance. I can help you understand the brain science of ADHD, incorporate aspects of mindfulness, somatic work, and other modalities to overcome these challenges, and regain your mental energy. You'll learn to work with your neurodivergence, NOT against it. I work from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, lens and am mindful about how culture, immigration journeys and systemic racism play a role in how someone compensates for their ADHD.
Welcome to Samadhi Mental Health Counseling. In our work together, I will use the therapeutic relationship to help expand your awareness, move toward acceptance and then deciding on an appropriate action. My role is to provide safety, security and honesty for you to use and explore what is most important in your life. Creating a healthy and balanced life where you encounter peace on a daily basis does not come without tremendous effort, insight, and a network of people who support your goals. As part of this balanced life, I routinely implement mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) as a way to relate to your inner world in a more authentic way. Another option to help process experiences I implement is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
