Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

While trained in multiple therapy modes, I focus on collaborative, interactive cognitive work to start and retain a deep change from negative thinking to clarity. What is in need of change, and why? What are steps that can create energy, courage, growth- without disruption? What is the right pace of change and are we on target? I see therapy as emotional "detective work" whose aim is freedom and satisfaction. Discovering possibilities and practicing changes, step by step, leads on to emotional recovery- and freedom, whether from anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, low self-esteem, addiction, or underemployment.

The blend of coaching with traditional talk therapy, a safe space, and empathic guidance has the capacity to enhance one's ability to identify behavior patterns, work through difficult life transitions, and cultivate a genuine love for the self. In my practice, I encourage working towards personal growth, self-acceptance, and understanding. I believe that therapy should be a space and time for the client to feel comfortable expressing all thoughts and emotions that surface without feeling judged or alone. Emphasis on balance, positive thinking, and mindfulness in my treatment with clients creates a closer relationship with the self.

Life before and after weight loss can be difficult. No matter how you've lost a significant amount of weight, your life changes. Most of my clients have had, or are thinking about having, Lap-Band, Bypass, Sleeve, or Balloon weight loss procedures. I also counsel those who don't qualify, or do not desire surgery. In order to maintain the weight loss, one's behavior must change. Our thinking must change. How we see ourselves must change. I should know - I am a product of all these lifestyle changes myself.
