Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Hello everyone! Living in New York City may be a challenge, filled with stress. anxiety and depression. With these challenges you need a helping hand to guide you through. I specialize in Mood Disorders, Bipolar disorders, Anxiety, Depression and PTSD.

My focus is on helping my clients gain the self-knowledge and self-awareness necessary to move forward to a more comfortable and productive place. No one approach fits every person or situation and the therapeutic process always begins with the person sitting in the room. My style is always respectful, interactive and dynamic and I am passionate about my work. The art and science of the therapeutic process encourages my creativity and spontaneity and complex issues are dealt with one step at a time, from both inner and outer perspectives.

I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, issues related to drugs or alcohol, and those recovering and healing from trauma. I have supported individuals in exploring their gender and sexuality and embrace non-binary, trans, and queer identities. I also specialize in perinatal, postpartum, and parental mental health. Many of my clients are mental health care providers themselves, who need clinical supervision or emotional support. My approach supports exploration of both the roots of emotions, behaviors, and patterns, while also talking about the here and now.

As an experienced therapist I believe that everyone owes to him/herself to live a satisfying life. If you do not like the place you are in today - do something not to be there. As Einstein said, "Nothing happens until something moves". Choosing therapy is definitely the right move for you. It is not a sign of weakness but rather of your determination. Whatever problem you are facing today: anxiety, depression, disturbing relationship, or work related stress - I am here to help you facilitate changes that will allow you to reach your goals.

I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist for over fifteen years now. I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist providing individual therapy to seniors, adults, adolescents and children. I specialize in treating clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and phobias. I believe in working together with my clients in helping them to believe in themselves and believe in their abilities to reach their goals. I have worked on different treatment approaches depending on my clients needs. One of my treatment approaches is in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy.

As we journey through life's stages, we encounter peaks, valleys and adverse circumstances that will throw us off course. Choosing the high road can be difficult especially when we are stressed, anxious, facing relational problems, parenting problems and difficulties on the workplace. I will teach you coping skills to deal with these unforeseen situations and even with those that are most anticipated. I subscribe to a proactive approach to therapy; focusing on the individual's strengths, without neglecting practical and real issues of human frailties.

Patients that I meet with will receive a full range of psychotherapy services. I provide parenting counseling, relationship counseling, cognitive therapy, group therapy, psychoanalysis, and anger management.

HIV pre and post counseling, postpartum depression, court mandated treatment, phobias/panic attack, autism, Asperger, ADHD/ ADD, and OCD are a few of the presenting issues I specialize in with over 40 years of experience.

Communication is conducted in various forms and I know it can be difficult to seek and maintain mental health services. The first step is identifying that there may be an issue affecting you from successfully managing your day to day activities. The second step is recognizing your not alone.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
