Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

This is a start! Be proud of yourself for being here. Life attacks us in so many ways, and it is not without hardships. However, I believe we all have the innate ability to navigate life with the belief, "no matter what comes I can make it through." I work with you to develop your ability to learn more about yourself, others and life so you are able to live resiliently. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals overcoming life stressors, traumas, relational problems, internal conflicts and so much more. My aim is to work collaboratively with you to develop healthier thoughts, skills, relationships, etc.

I believe the most fundamental aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and counselor. Growth and change can't take place without an empathetic and trusting relationship. I work with my clients to develop a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and work through negative thought patterns, emotions and behaviors that can prevent the happiness and satisfaction with life that we all deserve. Together we will examine and foster your strengths, uncover ways to move past prior painful or traumatic experiences and problem-solve current life stressors to allow you to fully live the life you want.

Searching for a therapist can feel discouraging at times and raise endless questions. What exactly am I looking for? Will I feel understood? Would I even benefit from therapy?

I approach therapy from a place of humor, curiosity and an honest desire to help you uncover those places where you feel most stuck in order to build the life that you want.

I am a Queer-identified therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse Transgender, Queer, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Gay identified individuals. My style is warm, active, and authentic.

I also value subjugated knowledge​ - the wisdom we possess from not fitting into the dominant culture.

I am a highly experienced psychotherapist, with a spiritual orientation. I use psychodynamic therapy, hypnosis, meditation and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to help individuals and couples find their own power.

I believe therapy is an opportunity for people to explore themselves and their relationships in order to create space for self-acceptance and deeper connections. In our work together, we will explore life’s challenges, celebrate its joys, and process the experiences in between. I practice focusing on clients' strengths, collaborating to create an individualized approach to address each client’s unique needs.

The stress of trying to manage it all when it feels like you're drowning is exhausting! I specialize in working with women feeling overwhelmed by relationship issues, parenting challenges, a devastating loss, or traumatic event. My clients often struggle with feeling depleted; they're tired, their thoughts keep racing, the anxiety's overwhelming, and they can feel really stuck and alone with their pain. It's a lot! And when life stressors occur it's ok to not feel ok, it's human. Some who are used to doing things on their own may question why healing would be any different and so continue to suffer. You don't need to go it alone.

When you enter my office, your wellness becomes my concern. I believe that no two clients are the same. When you come to see me I make a customized treatment plan tailored to your personal needs and goals using the best evidence based modalities. I utilize CBT, DBT, EMDR, EX/RP, mindfulness, positive psychology, somatic interventions, and relaxation techniques. I treat anxiety, OCD, PTSD, trauma, depression, and grief. I specialize in women's mental health treating those suffering from infertility, perinatal loss, postpartum PMADs, and menopause. I promote healing using a mind-body approach.

The brain, like the body, has a way of healing itself when provided the environment it needs to do so. I offer a calm and nurturing space for us to develop curiosity and capacity for change together. Much of my work is grounded in compassion and self-observation as a tool for both understanding and change. Whether you are looking for a specific change within yourself or seeking understanding in a broader sense, I will provide a warm and empathic environment to explore these issues. My style balances serious reflection with moments for humor and connection.

Relationships are essential to living, giving us opportunity to grow, heal, and learn. Psychotherapy is a transformative relationship of self investment where you can honestly reflect upon your innermost needs and feelings. It's a process where ultimately you can improve upon your decision making, communication, relationships, and work towards an optimum quality of life. In my practice I provide relief and effective problem solving for the stressors encountered in the fast-paced, urban life of NYC. I help individuals reduce distress while enhancing their inner strengths and assist couples improve intimacy and communication.

Striving for mental health and wellness in a society with as many issues as ours is hard. Finding a therapist to support you in that, can sometimes feel even harder. What criteria do you base your decision on? Degrees, years in practice, areas of expertise, whether they still meet people in person... But what a profile and your research cannot tell you, happens to be the most important criteria: if the two of you will "fit.” The best and quickest way to know for certain is to schedule the appointment.

Hi, my name is Phadia. I believe in therapy because I have been in therapy myself. Are you wondering if counseling is really for you? I may understand - because I have dealt with my own challenges and questioned if therapy could help. I now believe anyone can get through his or her trauma with the right support. I work with a team of amazing therapists. We like to say – we make dreams come true! That’s because we know when you’re able to get past this hurdle, you will be able to focus on all the things you’ve always dreamt about.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults and provide play, individual, parenting, couples and family therapy. I am psychodynamically trained, but use an eclectic approach to address each client's needs. I am trained in CBT to work with traumatized or depressed children and adolescents. As a certified EMDR therapist I help clients struggling with PTSD, trauma, and attachment issues. I strongly believe in a mind-body connection, and help my clients strengthen their emotional well-being. I believe that clients who feel empowered, learn coping skills, and gain insight will achieve physical and emotional strength and wellness.

I believe that self-acceptance and self-understanding are fundamental to meaningful change and that each of us has an innate healing capacity and ability to thrive. Sometimes, unresolved memories or traumas, anxiety, depression, self-criticism, identity issues, cultural conditioning or daily stressors can stand in the way of our sense of vitality and efficacy in life. I provide clients with a supportive, non-judgmental space (with a bit of humor when appropriate) to process psychological distress and get to the root of what is keeping you from orienting toward more authenticity and balance.
