Life Coaching Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

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.

Many clients are in search of deeper happiness and emotional resilience in their lives and relationships. Often, out of innocence, we look outside ourselves for fulfillment instead of inward, towards our own true hearts. For over 25 years I have worked with couples and individuals seeking a way out of isolation and emotional suffering towards greater joy. This is your time to be on the planet. If you struggle with self-defeating patterns and would like help shifting towards a more vibrant life, please call me for a free consultation.

We often lose ourselves in an attempt to fulfill those everyday life roles. You know the roles we play everyday as parents, partner, child, employee, and friend? When do we ever take the time to truly put ourselves!?! Unfortunately, most of us fail to ever do so, but this has to stop and the time is now! You matter! Your goals matter! If you are not good to yourself, how can you ever be any good to someone else! I have experience working with a variety of populations such as those experiencing severe persistent mental illness, substance use, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, LGBTQ issues, relationships issues and much more.

I had received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and minor in Education in 2004 from Touro College, and obtained my Clinical Social Worker degree from Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University in 2006. I had worked with adults and the elderly. I specializes in depression, anxiety disorder, adjustment disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and bereavement, self-love and care. I also worked at a Community Health Home for people with various mental health issues.

I am a Solution-Focused Psychotherapist and Life Coach, who works with adults and couples. I provide a holistic, gentle, caring, and respectful form of therapy and life-coaching. I believe that all people have innate inner strengths which they can use to help solve their problems and achieve important goals. I help adults, through use of their strengths and development of new tools and tactics, to progress with emotional, behavioral, career, educational, family, relationship, medical, or overall wellness challenges. I have helped countless numbers of people obtain empowerment, growth, and healing during my many years of counseling.

Psychotherapy is about helping a person relieve stress, expand choices, see new behavioral strategies, and restore the client's ability to cope with problems on their own. The psychotherapist helps to correct the mistakes of upbringing, improve the quality of life, make a career, develop character, resolve difficult situations, etc. You can find a way out of any situation, and with a psychologist this path is much easier to go through. You will be able to find support and stability in your life situation.

Life is like a puzzle...each piece connects. How they connect is the journey I wish to support you on. Counseling for over 15 years in areas such as career counseling, self- awareness, wellness, life coaching, mental health and personal/professional development, and women's health and self care. And looking forward to many more years in walking beside you as you learn to stand in your truth, your passion, and your life. Shonae has worked in the helping field for over 20 years and looks at helping as a opportunity to support others in his/her walk in life.

I have been in practice for over 20 years and have helped many women deal with major life transitions: family, work and relationship problems. I have helped many couples improve communication and intimacy problems. I specialize in working with women and couples.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

Self-betterment is an investment that is aligned with self-love and positive reinforcement. I believe that identifying the underlying issues is imperative to effectively manage and increase your resilience against daily stressors. My ultimate goal is to build a trusting client-therapist relationship that will promote change and lead to a positive psychotherapy outcome.

Everyone has creative energy within themselves. When we connect with this energy, we can connect to our deepest truths. As a non-binary and queer, sober, anti-capitalist and anti-racist creative coach, I help creative people discover and explore their authentic dreams while navigating the inevitable challenges of life as an artist. I believe that our creativity is inherently intertwined with our humanness, and that it is impossible to compartmentalize the two. Therefore, I support artists searching for accountability, motivation, expansion of creative processes, and guidance working through creative blocks, which often run deep.

I am the founder of Destined Horizons, PLLC. We are a private practice of dedicated therapists. In a society where "everyday" life stressors and even trauma have become the norm we have always believed that there is a new horizon of awareness that awaits. With over 20 years of combined experience working with individuals and families, we have promoted change through providing therapy to a variety of clients. Our experiences range from individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and couple therapy. We currently serve the states of New York, Georgia and Maryland.

Many of my clients seek assistance in working on their relationships, identity, sense of self, life transitions, depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, decision-making and overall emotional well-being. I have an extensive background working with individuals from many cultures and life experiences.

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.

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.

Step into Soulful Transformation!

My Model: Celebrating the special relationship between the client & facilitator, we move with the flow of energy: the client as the 'expert' on self, and the facilitator as the 'expert' on the strategies of psychological/spiritual change. DW Winnicott reminds us of the beauty and function of playing: involving fantasy & creativity.. We bring the unconscious to the conscious mind with the specific goal of moving toward desired changes, as we nurture the healing process. We'll focus on your habitual behavioral responses. If you don't like these, I'll help you change them. We'll focus on letting go of what doesn't serve you.
