Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Congratulations on taking the first step on your journey towards becoming a better you. Acknowledging the need to change is easy but following through is difficult. Finding the right person to help you through your journey can be draining but important in successfully accomplishing your goals. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable to another person is scary, but it is a strength that aids in the healing process. Humanistic and cognitive behavioral theories are used in an integrative approach to help understand your unique life experiences and how they have led to deficit-based feelings, emotions, and behaviors.

If you are reading this, give yourself a pat on the back. It can be hard for some people to make the decision to look for a therapist and coming to this website is one of the initial steps! I view therapy as a collaborative process that is grounded in a trusting alliance between therapist and client. Therapy is a space for you to explore self-discovery, open yourself to increased self-awareness, shift troublesome thought patterns, tap into your intuition, and deepen self-acceptance. Therapy can also lead to a better understanding of your relationships with others, how you relate and what you need in your relationships.

My practice is varied, although the focus over the years has been the LGBTQ community. I also see singles, couples and families not identified as LGBTQ. My role is to be a supportive agent, assisting the client to explore their past and present and to be more open about conflicts that are causing stress. Together, we explore the clients family history, in order to develop a deeper understanding of their present patterns and relationships. Anxiety, low self-esteem, sexuality, work problems are all examined. As a parent who has adopted, I work with families and individuals around adoption/foster care issues.

Beginning therapy is a first step towards achieving wellness and greater satisfaction in life. I provide a warm, supportive environment in which my clients can begin this important journey toward personal growth and enhanced quality of life. I bring enthusiasm and a sense of humor to the therapeutic environment. Treatment is driven by individual need and I am committed to using a variety of approaches and modalities to ensure treatment is client-centered. I specialize in working with adolescents and youth, though I work with all people of all ages in maximizing individual potential and allow changes to happen.

I work with people facing a wide variety of life challenges including trauma, anxiety, family conflict, adoption issues, parenting challenges, career transition, complicated grief, and addiction recovery. My approach is trauma informed. I primarily use IFS & EMDR also blending CBT, Sensorimotor therapy, and mindfulness. I listen to what clients see as most important and use this as a starting point. I provide long or short term therapy according to the needs/interest of each individual. I have provided online therapy since 2011.

I approach psychotherapy as a creative, collaborative undertaking between therapist and client with the goal of creating a safe, healing relationship through which clients can discover and mobilize their deepest capacities for transformation. I have been in practice for over 25 years, working with clients of all ages, including adults, couples, families, young children & adolescents. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, bereavement, issues surrounding adoption, parenting, and co-parenting after divorce. As a psychotherapist and special educator I have worked extensively with children with learning differences.

I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.

I am an LCSW who prioritizes creating a safe and supportive environment. My goal is to help clients better understand how their life histories and relationships impact their present experience, and then develop concrete strategies for problem-solving. I use a psychodynamic lens and integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to assist with symptoms and improve overall functioning. I enjoy working with those experiencing life transitions, job stressors, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and perinatal mood disorders

In my practice I strive to help each client tap into their strengths and see their true potential. I provide psychotherapy for individuals and families enduring life stressors related to anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-confidence and doubt, parenting, career challenges, learning disabilities, relationships, trauma, adoption and foster care. I have 18+ years of working with individuals impacted by trauma, especially as children.

Working with individuals, families, children and teens for the past 20 years, I have come to learn that we all want to be understood so that we may live healthier, more productive lives. Often times however, conflicts and repetitive behaviors prevent us from finding the satisfaction we desire. Depression, anxiety, and a host of other self defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with basic relationship success and can cause work, or school related difficulties. My approach is to work closely with you through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your individual needs.

I focus on anxiety, depression, grief, and self-compassion, and I love supporting individuals/couples through life transitions and identity formation. I have a passion for helping new and hopeful parents navigate the family-building process, (be it pregnancy, postpartum mental health, child/pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, guardianship/foster care, and the baby/toddler years). Non-traditional family structures are warmly welcome here! My background in early childhood development and parent/child relationships gives me a unique perspective and the ability to support those struggling through the adjustment period of creating a family.

Are you a woman dealing with fertility issues? Are you struggling to conceive a child; going through fertility treatments; considering using donor eggs/sperm or surrogate; or even thinking about adoption or life without children? Have you been battling with feelings of frustration, depression, anxiety, hopelessness or worthlessness? Do you find the stresses associated with your fertility journey are beginning to impact your personal relationships, making them difficult to manage? Your family and friends offer their support but you still feel alone and isolated.

Hello! I’m Alisha - a transracial, transnational adoptee from South Korea, educator and mother. As a dedicated therapist, I employ a multidisciplinary psychodynamic approach enriched by elements from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy models. My mission is to guide you on a transformative journey toward greater happiness, improved well-being, and enhanced connections in your life.

Why therapy? I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we need to slow down and reconnect with ourselves. At times therapy can feel like an essential human need - a place to go when you need to feel understood, supported and cared for. A strong therapeutic relationship can be one of the most important and unique relationships in your life. My goal is to work together to help you feel empowered and capable of change. Lets explore the patterns that may be holding you back and help you move forward!
