Hello! My name is Lydia and I'm a NYC-based psychotherapist near Herald Square in midtown. If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, I can help. We will talk through past experiences and your everyday life to better understand what's at the root of your stress. The transition to college can bring up so many questions around identity, relationships, and self-worth. It's completely normal to feel out of your element. Let's figure it out together.

While the transition to college life can be an exciting period, filled with freedom and opportunity, many students can also feel overwhelmed, stressed and anxious. Cope NYC (also known as Cope With School NYC) is a team of caring, experienced and diverse therapists. We are here to help you through whatever challenges you may be facing, to listen non-judgmentally and to provide a safe space to explore your feelings. We are committed to anti-racism and are affirming of all backgrounds and identities. Our clinicians have vast experience helping students manage depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, academic stress, ADHD/executive functioning difficulties, autism spectrum, gender and sexuality issues, social anxiety, family conflicts and much more. We offer in-person (Upper West Side of Manhattan) and telehealth sessions throughout New York State. Please reach out to us to see how we can help you!

Many of the students I work with seem like they have everything together on the outside, but internally feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are. You may be high-achieving, creative, or thoughtful, yet constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, struggling with perfectionism, or trying to meet expectations that never fully feel like enough. Over time, it can become exhausting to keep pushing through while quietly carrying stress, pressure, anxiety, or self-doubt on your own. In our work together, we slow things down and explore what’s driving that pressure beneath the surface. Therapy becomes a space to reconnect with your own voice, values, identity, and sense of direction so life begins to feel more grounded, authentic, and emotionally sustainable — not something you constantly have to perform your way through.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified psychodramatist and I work with all ages. I would consider my approach to be interactive and, more importantly, very easy going. We work at a pace that is comfortable for you and in-line with your goals. I have experience treating a wide range of issues, and I work either in person or virtual, all based upon your needs and schedule. Please feel gree to gove me a call if you would kike to have a phone consultation.

As a therapist, I believe that you have the capacity to find your way back to yourself. With a long background in the field of dance and training in somatic therapies, I see the body as a powerful window to our feelings and the place where healing really happens. I also know the body can be the site of a lot of wounds, judgements, and shame, making it hard to access. I’m here to help you hold the painful parts so that your natural ability to heal can emerge. Using a combination of somatic, psychodynamic and behavioral approaches I will help you build the self-awareness and compassion needed to feel more at home in yourself.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I take an integrative approach to therapy for adults and older adults. My work centers on helping you navigate anxiety, depression, relational trauma, and the often-disorienting weight of life transitions. Whether you're grieving a loss, stumbling through the fog after an impactful change, or simply wondering "how did I get here?" — you don't have to figure it out alone. I believe in the power of genuine, human-to-human connection. As your therapist, I aim to be a steady and honest partner in your growth: someone who celebrates your wins, sits with you in the hard moments, and gently challenges you when you're ready. Together, we'll work to help you discover your own inner strength, build self-compassion, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, because neither is your story. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build practical coping skills, psychodynamic therapy to understand how your past shows up in your present, and solution-focused techniques when you need momentum and clarity. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you build self-awareness and create lasting change. What you can expect from our work together is a safe, judgment-free space. I believe in being a real human in the room with a clinical lens, balancing warmth and personality with genuine therapeutic support. Your unique story, values, and goals shape the direction of our work, and I tailor my approach to meet you exactly where you are. My path to becoming a therapist began early. Growing up, I played the role of the fixer, the doer, the "don't need to worry about her" child in my family, because that was where I felt most seen. Those personal experiences gave me a close view of how isolation and shame keep people stuck in familiar but unhealthy loops, and how one safe, honest connection can begin to untangle that. That understanding deepened my commitment to care that is both compassionate and direct, never dismissive. Now, I bring my full, authentic self to each session: curious, collaborative, and unafraid to sit with hard things. Outside of my role as a mental health clinician, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and my cat, Chichi. I also love trying new restaurants, catching movies at different theaters around the city, traveling to the next destination on my ever-growing bucket list, and dabbling in art just for the fun of it.

Do you feel overwhelmed by life events and those in the outside world? Would you like to experience more satisfying relationships with family, friends, romantic partners and colleagues? Are you feeling stuck in your ability to initiate change? I can help. Therapy is a safe environment in which to explore your feelings and the patterns which may be holding you back. I offer a warm and compassionate manner and provide the support needed to begin making changes.

Many of my clients are college students and young professionals who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, procrastination, stress, loneliness, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed by this season of life. Whether you're trying therapy for the first time or you've been before and felt like you hit a plateau, we'll work together to find an approach that feels like the best fit for you and your goals. My approach is rooted in authenticity, warmth, compassion, and curiosity. I want therapy to feel like a soft landing place—a space where you can bring whatever is weighing on you into the light without judgment. Together, we'll explore what you're experiencing, make sense of it, and find ways to help you move through daily life with more ease, confidence, and self-understanding.

I am a private practice therapist who works with adults of all ages, with particular experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and those who have experienced trauma. I believe that symptoms—whether anxiety, depression, or something harder to name—often have roots in our histories and relationships. In our work together, we’ll slow down and get curious about the patterns, feelings, and ways you’ve learned to cope that may no longer be serving you. Many of the students I work with are navigating academic pressure, identity questions, relationship stress, or major life transitions while trying to keep up with the demands of school and daily life. My hope is to offer a warm, attuned space where greater self-understanding can lead to real and lasting change.
