Welcome to Amira The Healing Space

MA Therapy, LLC

Amira The Healing Space is proud to partner with SUNY Oneonta to provide high-quality, accessible mental health counseling to currently enrolled students. Through this partnership, SUNY Oneonta students have access to free, fully virtual therapy services designed to support their academic success, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth.

College is a significant developmental stage. Students are often navigating identity formation, academic pressure, independence, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and major life transitions — often all at once. Our work is centered on supporting students through these experiences with thoughtful, structured, and culturally responsive care.

Our clinicians provide evidence-based psychotherapy that meets students where they are while helping them build practical tools for resilience, emotional regulation, and long-term wellbeing.

What We Provide for SUNY Oneonta Students

Through this partnership, students have access to:

• Individual virtual counseling sessions
• Evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD
• Support for identity exploration and personal development
• Academic and performance stress management
• Relationship and communication support
• Guidance through life transitions and decision-making
• Care coordination and referrals when additional services are needed

All counseling sessions are 100% virtual, allowing students to access care privately and conveniently from anywhere within New York State.

Clinical Leadership

Amira The Healing Space was founded by Amira Martin-Saltsman, LCSW-R, a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and professor at Columbia University School of Social Work. With more than two decades of experience in clinical practice, education, and program development, she leads the practice with a focus on ethical care, cultural responsiveness, and strong clinical standards.

Under her leadership, the clinical team works collaboratively to ensure students receive thoughtful, coordinated support that prioritizes both emotional wellbeing and academic stability.

Supporting Student Wellbeing

Our partnership with SUNY Oneonta reflects a shared commitment to strengthening student mental health and creating environments where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.

We recognize that college can bring growth, opportunity, and independence — but also stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges. Our goal is to provide a supportive space where students can reflect, develop coping strategies, and build the confidence needed to navigate this important stage of life.

At Amira The Healing Space, we are honored to support SUNY Oneonta students as they care for their mental health and move forward with clarity and resilience.
