Dr. Karin Belser

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 yrs of experience. I received my doctorate from CUNY Graduate School after obtaining a master's degree in Counseling with a community-based focus. 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 College, UT Health Science Center, Princeton, and Cornell to name a few. I've also been a certified academic success coach.

My approach is best described as technically eclectic, insight-oriented, and empowering. I draw heavily on psychodynamic and attachment based theories. As such, fostering a supportive, trusting therapist-client relationship is important for the work we'll embark on.

It is my hope that clients leave sessions feeling seen/heard and with a greater capacity to understand their own mind. Through insights gained, I hope clients walk away feeling empowered to create the life they want for themselves.
