Humanistic Therapists in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY

Hi there! I am a licensed, board-certified psychotherapist and founder of Art Therapy Collective (ATC). I provide therapeutic and professional development services geared towards self-empowerment to overcome the complex challenges of life with a creative approach. I emphasize creative and critical thinking, strength based approaches, and comprehensive cognitive, physical, and emotional healing within the therapeutic process.

I believe that our lives are guided by a few simple truths: we all long to be free to play, make things, and be seen by and connected to the world around us. By activating your own, unique creative potential and personal strengths, I believe that you can tap into your innate wisdom to create harmonious, lasting, and fulfilling relationships at home, at work, and with yourself. In our work together, we will utilize an intersectional framework to explore how the many facets of your cultural identity impact you, and use an array of both verbal and non-verbal modalities to help you achieve your goals.

Sometimes it feels like we're moving through life on auto-pilot. With work and other stressors, it is hard to find time to slow down, to breathe, to focus on the present. I believe therapy is about letting go of the things we are trying to control and making choices towards a more fulfilling life. To facilitate this, I help clients openly face life’s challenges and create lasting changes. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental, and safe space for my clients to facilitate behavior change and self-exploration.

I practice creating a therapeutic space where we can both embrace the present moment and embark on a journey of self-discovery. I believe that therapy is a long-term process that unfolds over time, leading to ever-expanding self-awareness and fulfillment. We are building this space together, and I use humanistic and psychodynamic approaches to help guide that process (Tweed jacket sold separately).

If you are dealing with issues connected to any legal- and/or case-processing and in need of counseling services, then look no further. I am an experienced counselor with over 20 years of practice in working with clients that are forensically-involved. My professional background includes post-graduate training in both the UK (in the humanistic counseling traditions) and the US (as a clinical social worker). I also have a wide range of professional qualifications. I will bring to our sessions a level of expertise and insight that few others have while empowering you to meet your goals.

It can be a gratifying experience examining different facets of your life and reflecting on how your role in the world evolves. Figuring out your place and considering your identities can be a challenging and curious endeavor. There might have been times when you were not allowed to express your true self either due to family or societal pressures. With that can come feelings of shame, guilt and fear over how you move through your day to day and how you interact with others. Creating a steady sense of who you are is an ongoing process and therapy is a great place to begin to figure this out and help you navigate your life with ease.

My name is Toi-Shareema Grayson. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I am a proud Black African American raised by my mom, grandmother, uncle, and aunt, whom were all instrumental in my rearing. Surrounded by hard working family is where I gained my reliable work ethic, as well as my passion to work with people. Transitioning into counseling working directly with people just made sense to me. If you are ready to unpack your concerns, work through your challenges, set goals for yourself, and begin your healing process congratulations on taking your first step.

I am a dream doula welcoming clients who have specifically been ostracized or misunderstood by the mental health industrial complex. Currently, services geared towards helping are explicitly gate kept by colonist practices, ableist perspectives, carceral state interventions, financial inaccessibility, treatment stigma, and other barriers rooted in the shameful, foundational practices of white supremacy and western culture. My work is specifically political, and intended to help clients cultivate a more liberated life. I curate space for healing as well as dream building.

Hello, I’m glad you found your way here. I’m a Psychotherapist and Life Coach that offers sessions virtually. I offer services to individuals, couples, and families throughout the United States. I specialize in helping clients with obstacles around depression, anxiety, survivors guilt, workplace trauma, relationship issues, childhood trauma, imposter syndrome, self-esteem, stress, life transitions and oppression.

In my practice, I see therapy as an opening to reflect on the possibility that life is not only about tolerating suffering… that there is space for wholeness, integration, self trust, safety and connection. I currently work with adult individuals and couples in New York who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, burn out, relational issues and life transitions (including pregnancy and postpartum). With a work background in creative industries, I combine my knowledge of these experiences and psychotherapy to offer therapy focused in creative fields.

Through our work together we will uncover ways to expand your strengths, identify unproductive patterns and develop healthier ways of seeing yourself. We will explore how past experiences impact your life and examine how the behaviors, feelings and thoughts that result may interfere with your efforts to achieve a more satisfying life. I utilize a wide array of approaches to guide clients towards increased self awareness and self acceptance.

I specialize in working with POC, immigrants, first-generation Americans, and those with LGBTQ+ identities. Maybe you want to enforce boundaries with your family, navigate cultural differences with your partner, stop seeking perfection at work, understand your emotions, increase your self-esteem, or simply live a more authentic and satisfying life. With your identity and cultural context in mind, I use evidence-based therapies to help you achieve your goals.

Unprocessed childhood neglect, abuse, witnessing of traumatic events or recent adult interpersonal violence can weigh on us heavily. To reconnect with our natural potential and remember that our ancestors not only passed their trauma on to us but also their victory, I bring a culturally aware approach that incorporates the intersection of trans-generational trauma, gender, and spirituality to healing the issues that cause us anxiety, pain, discomfort and make it difficult to achieve our goals or feel at peace.

I have experience in serving these populations: highly sensitive people (HSPs); Asians and Asian-Americans, immigrants, anyone who is seeking to understand and increase their emotional intelligence.

My goal as a therapist is to support you in becoming the person you want to be. I'll work with you towards finding ways to improve your life in the direction you choose. Therapy is a space for you to fully focus on finding what works for you. As a native Spanish speaker, I work bilingually with individuals, couples, families, and other groups.
