Support Groups in Brooklyn, NY
The summer months bring fun as well as anxiety around body image. This is especially important for teen girls who participate in summer camps, jobs and volunteer opportunities. This new therapy group is for teen girls (13 - 17 y/o) who feel they are highly anxious, introverted and struggle to be nice to themselves. Teen girls will be able to process the pressure they feel to look perfect as they develop into young women. They will also focus on how this pressure manifests in different areas of teen life like dating/friendships, school, and family life.

Most of my clients feel that anxiety has consumed their whole lives. They are physically & emotionally drained but still crave meaningful relationships. They also identify as perfectionistic, depressed, and lonely. They are highly creative, an overachiever or an over-procrastinator, and an emotional sponge. Since they feel so deeply, they tend to feel ashamed of their emotions and work towards being extroverted and capitalistic-hungry individuals.

Experienced individual and couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately. I teach and practice psychoanalysis.

(Late Fall, 2024) Are you feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns and relationships? Are you hoping to unpack messages you received early in life in order to be healthy and free? Psychodrama is an active group therapy process that helps folks embody relationships to themselves and others using facilitated role play. A psychodrama-trained therapist guides the group through warm-up, action, and reflection, and members provide support and insight. Due to the cathartic nature of this work, the group requires a full session commitment, is limited to 8 members, and involves a brief interview to begin. No experience necessary.

Once you are engaged in a safe, validating and honest therapeutic space, there is tremendous potential for growth. I appreciate the risk you take when you share your struggles and stories. In honoring that risk, I will remind you every step of the way of your power. Pain, distress and discomfort can inform us about the ways we see, move through, and live in the world. I will encourage you to explore these pain points and move forward with a new perspective: more in alignment with your values and goals. I come from a social justice framework and trauma-informed lens, acknowledging how inequity and injustice inform your narrative.

I am trained in using CBT, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.
I run a adult psychotherapy group for men ages roughly 30-60. The intent of the group will be maturational and supportive, with an emphasis on how member's personality and interpersonal style influence their life, love and and career issues.

They will have the opportunity to try out new roles and new behaviors in a safe and compassionate space. The group currently meets virtually on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 7:30. When in person we will meet in Park Slope.

Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. Psychotherapy helps you reclaim yourself. We will augment your natural coping skills to help you develop a new freedom and a new happiness at work and in your relationships...in approaching your life.

We are conditioned to avoid pain and we think and behave in certain ways learned through our upbringing, culture and other life experiences. At times the way we interpret situations in our lives can impact the way we relate to others, especially our signifant other, in both a negative and positive way. Therapy gives us the opportunity to reflect on these experiences and interpretations of our world in order to recognize what no longer serves us. Sometimes all we need is the right guidance to get on the right course of action for growth.
Are you overly cautious, do you struggle with loneliness, or avoid uncertainty and risk? Do you have trouble connecting with others or feel different from other people? If you struggle with perfectionism or rigidity, it’s possible to have too much self-control. RO-DBT is designed to target restriction, rumination, depression, anxiety, obsessions and/or compulsive symptoms. Skills focus on developing on more flexibility, openness, and social connectedness, while attending to self-compassion for times of fatalism and fixedness. Groups involve mindfulness exercises, discussions, skills lessons and practice, and independent work between meetings.

Life presents many challenges and struggles and sometimes, it may feel, too little time to voice complex emotions. Yet, an exploration of the nuances of one’s history, relationships, dreams, and desires can help alleviate suffering and increase flexibility in the present moment. Therapy, I believe, can provide this space to become, to play, feel, speak. My integrative approach holds space for family of origin, intergenerational, intersectional and broader social-cultural dynamics.
