Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, and also relieving; it is an act of hope. I believe that the potential for personal growth and change within all of us is enormous, and I value the opportunity to work with clients as we weave between the present and the past to explore the impact each has on the other. I help my clients examine their personal histories and uncover unconscious barriers to achieving goals. I work with clients to uncover the stories that they have told themselves or have been told to them about who they are that keep them stuck.

I believe that everyone has the opportunity to increase their health, comfort, and happiness. I work collaboratively with individuals from diverse backgrounds who seek out counseling for various issues including anxiety, mood, anger and adjustment. I strive towards allowing individuals to redefine themselves. My goal is to create a safe creative space to begin a journey of growth, renewal, and a path towards achieving authenticity.

You can feel better. I’m here to provide you with the tools. Are you living with depression, anxiety, or worry? Are you struggling with insomnia?

We all deserve a sense of peace in our lives. It’s my goal to help you feel better and more centered. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with people on recovery oriented, evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Opening yourself up to emotional vulnerability can be daunting, regardless of your stage in life. I offer an empathic and person-centered approach for individuals looking to unlearn, relearn, and forge a more intentional life path.

I use mindfulness and integrative therapeutic practices to address feelings that may come up in session, specifically pulling from humanistic and psychodynamic schools of thought. I focus on mind-body integration and helping my clients stay present and grounded.

Are you struggling with infertility? Perhaps you and your partner are contemplating or beginning fertility intervention as a means of having a child. During this time, you are likely navigating a range of distressing emotions, facing critical treatment decisions and feeling isolated in the process.

In our work together, I support you to tap into your intrinsic resources: emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual, so as to overcome infertility, heal from pregnancy loss and stabilize postpartum challenges.

Hello! I'm Mary, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Hempstead, New York, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. Life can be challenging sometimes.

I am a NY State licensed psychotherapist with a MSW from Columbia University. Since 2003, I have been helping individuals and families understand and manage anxiety, depression & other mood disorders, relationship and career challenges, life transitions, sexual & gender identity, family dynamics, chronic illness, grief & loss. Through a holistic, psychodynamic approach, I combine principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and stress management. I strive to help my clients feel supported, contained and challenged to enhance their awareness and coping skills, reach their goals and fulfill their potential.

Life transitions such as the ending of a relationship, or a job loss, can feel just as intense as the death of a loved one. The loss you feel is profound. You feel sad. You feel anxious. You question why it happened. You aren't sure how to grieve, or even if you should. Phrases like, what if, and should have, become repeating thoughts that keep you up at night. It is natural to grieve any change in your life, even if you made the decision. Grieving is important because it provides closure and enables you to move forward. Grief is the necessary path we walk in order to heal.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, past traumas, and relationship issues? Do you deal with personal concerns, family, career and/or life difficulties?

I use a Strengths-Based Model that promotes healing, motivation, progress, and positive outcomes. It is often difficult to take the first step to reach out to explore therapy. It doesn't have to be.

Currently, after 15 years of working at the city outpatient mental health clinic I am very excited to open my own private practice providing a high quality of care using telehealth platforms. I have experience helping clients of different age groups and with various mental health issues. My ideal client is someone who suffers from depression/ anxiety/ bipolar disorders, has relationships issues or difficulties to cope with work, school or life transitions stressors. Also, I like to help immigrants adjusting to living in the USA, especially clients from the former Soviet Union. I am fluent in English and Russian languages.

Feelings of anxiety, depression, or “stuckness” can be debilitating, isolating and feel permanent. We can work together to build the skills you need to feel empowered and able to cope with and overcome the emotions that may currently feel unbearable. I can support you through life transitions - from grief and loss, to figuring out how to best communicate with a loved one or set boundaries with family, friends or coworkers. My practice is founded in tenets of intersectional feminist counseling and liberation therapy theories, and is mindfulness-focused and trauma-informed - sensitive to your individual needs, goals and strengths.

Starting therapy can be the first step towards making real and meaningful change in your life. I can help you find relief from a range of difficulties, including painful emotions, relationship problems, and career issues. To facilitate this, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your life challenges and work collaboratively to help you achieve your goals.

Drawing from my background in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and dance/movement therapy, I use an eclectic approach tailored to your individual needs to help you overcome obstacles to leading a richer, more satisfying, and more meaningful life. Some of the things I can help you with are: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family stressors, managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, self-esteem, life transitions, artist's issues and creative blocks, panic attacks, trauma, and life changes.

Things are rarely as bad as they seem when you're anxious, depressed, or when you find yourself in adverse circumstances. Often, a change of perspective can dramatically improve your outlook, increase motivation, curb excessive guilt and build healthy self-regard. By examining negative feelings, behaviors and habits of thought, you can develop insights that bring relief and improve all aspects of your life--love, work and play.
