Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

As a licensed psychotherapist for over 30 years, and an experienced psychonaut (one who experiments with psychedelic medicines) the past 50 years, I am well qualified to help you (alone, or with your partner) prepare for and integrate a psychedelic experience. Couples are my specialty. As you probably understand, I cannot and do not encourage you to experiment with illegal substances. But if you are an adult who has had, or is intending to have, such an experience, and need help minimizing its risks and maximizing its benefits, I'm here to help.

As a psychotherapist, I have found that cultivating a genuinely curious and accepting relationship with oneself is essential for growth. Effective therapy facilitates this investigation; I am dedicated to helping people find greater fulfillment and success in their pursuits, develop more satisfying relationships, alleviate distressing symptoms, and discover comfort and confidence with themselves. Together, our work will address the barriers, behaviors, and past issues that inhibit change, in order to improve present day problems and symptoms and help you more fully inhabit your strengths.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I have worked in various settings and capacities helping individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, medical illness, addictions, career concerns, and relationship challenges.

My genuine interest in people, their unique stories, and what brings them to therapy plays an important role in my work.

Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others have a more vague sense that something in their lives is wrong. Both motivations can be an incredible opportunity to learn more about oneself and figure out how to build a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with clients who may experience anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma. I also assist clients in identifying and breaking outside of societal norms to figure out their true personal and interpersonal needs. With couples, I use a variety of methods to help build stronger relationships.

Codependency & love addiction are my specialties. Helping people replace unhealthy relationship patterns with healthier ones is very satisfying and meaningful work for me.

I believe psychotherapy can offer an the opportunity to explore difficult internal experiences, relationships or life transitions in a safe, supportive environment that encourages productive change. That opportunity is based on a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. It is this relationship that is central to the change process. To facillitate the change that clients hope for, a warm, empathic and open therapist is important.

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 specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. However, my approach is not a one size fits all formula. I tailor my work to the individual and their specific needs.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their innermost thoughts, analyze their current struggles, and embark on a path of self-growth and fulfillment. Therapy is a collaborative journey built on a strong foundation of trust and respect between the therapist and the client.

I create a supportive, relaxed, and compassionate environment where I work with my clients to unearth sources of distress and navigate upcoming challenges.

Therapy provides a special opportunity to slow down and focus on what's most important to you.
