Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

What does happiness mean to you? Sometimes we forget how it feels to be happy. Therapy can help you to overcome problematic thoughts or behaviors and to achieve your full potential. I can help you tackle a specific or general problem such as a particular mental illness or a source of life stress in order to alleviate distress and to become happy.

Through both my psychoanalytic training and my training as a creative arts therapist, I treat each person as an individual and we come up with a treatment plan together. My patients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, identity formation, trauma, and attachment issues. My view of therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to help you increase your self-esteem, have a greater understanding of yourself, and be able to have healthy and long-lasting friendships and romantic relationships.

Reaching out to a therapist can be a daunting task. It is difficult to make changes and break unhealthy patterns and anxiety and depression can feel crippling. Therapy can play a large role in helping individuals lead happier, more productive lives. We all face challenges but with the proper support, your challenges do not need to define you or stop you from achieving happiness and success. I believe in treating each patient as an individual. While my orientation is primarily psychodynamic I also use Emotionally Focused Tapping (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I recognize the courage it takes to ask for help and the difficulty of finding a therapist. I provide an atmosphere that is safe to make space for self-exploration. My approach features warmth, direct communication, and humor, which allows me to enhance the relationship and paves the way for effective treatment. I believe in utilizing a collaborative approach, supporting clients in asking the right questions to help them heal

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 in the healing and expanding possibilities of psychotherapy. Exploring and sharing your experiences, thoughts and feelings with an empathic therapist can be a deeply satisfying human experience--and one that is a much needed counterpart to our cultural climate. Do you wish to better understand yourself and your relationships? To improve your work life? To better cope with anxiety, depression, or other psychological difficulties? To increase your repertoire of behaviors, to become more flexible, creative, and spontaneous? If so, please contact me and let's begin our journey of understanding and growth.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My practice offers psychotherapy services for adults, couples, and children. I believe that one size never fits all, therefore I tailor the therapy to the individual. People who contact me are usually doing so because they are experiencing difficulty in their personal relationships or are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety and other related problems. These are symptoms of something more complex going on in your life. I'm here to help you work it through.

Teri enjoys working with clients of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds, including parents, immigrants, children, teenagers, individuals who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, and many others. The only thing that her clients need to have in common is a desire to live their best lives. Many of Teri's clients struggle with feelings of anxiety, depression, and trauma without seeing a way past them. They are frustrated with their lives and are looking to make changes. Teri provides support in English and in Spanish.

As a licensed mental health counselor with over 16 years in the counseling field, I understand the importance of living a joyful life. I believe that the key to a successful therapeutic relationship is in the connection made. Finding a therapist you can connect with makes all of the difference in allowing you to open up and grow as a person. My hope is that I can connect with you and that we can work in a safe environment to help you deal with any issues in your life. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and based on acceptance and compassion.

Do you want to make a change in your life, but don't know how to begin? Are you a caregiver trying to keep it together for everyone else, but losing yourself in the process? Has the bond between you and your child become a struggle? The therapeutic process is a collaborative one. My approach is to provide a safe, warm and respectful space while assisting you in the process of moving towards the change you want, balancing your life or creating a better relationship in order to have a more fulfilling and complete life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the stress in your life? I can help you take action to reduce the pain and discomfort. By looking for a therapist you have already taken the first step towards achieving inner satisfaction. I view therapy as a journey forward. How we get there depends on your needs. We will identify your goals, and we will work as a team to achieve them. My style is genuine and interactive, and I provide direct feedback in sessions. My hope is to empower you to find the tools within to thrive on your own.

Are you feeling a diminished sense of self-confidence? Are you feeling that the way you view yourself is keeping you from experiencing life fully and/or causing you suffering? Are you experiencing nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, depression, fears, anger, impaired concentration, difficulties at work, school or home? If you answered "yes" to any question, you may be reacting to trauma.

Are you struggling to balance work and your personal goals? Do you repeat patterns in your relationships that don't work but can't figure out why? I believe that therapy should be collaborative and focused on improving the quality of your life. It should be a place where you can honestly share your stress and find the resources within yourself to cope. Sometimes, we are able to quickly move past negative events in our lives and, other times, we need more skills. I have advanced clinical training in EMDR therapy to help people get past those stuck points and make deep internal changes.

My areas of expertise are addictions (alcohol, drugs, sex, and codependency), sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, parenting and marital issues. I utilize a variety of methodologies and techniques to best help client achieve their goals. Much of my work involves healing the inner child which enables the individual/couple to re parent themselves and become empowered.

For many people, psychotherapy can be a powerful instrument for growth. I create a safe, collaborative, trusting environment for you to explore and clarify how to make lasting, positive change in your life. It is my belief that therapy must be tailored to each person's unique needs, and I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual.
