Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Samelle believes that no matter what race, class, or gender identity you are, you deserve to be heard and get the help you need. Her treatment goals are to increase self-awareness, insight, and well-being, help individuals be comfortable with themselves, and achieve a lasting change to help with their day-to-day routine and lifestyle. When it comes to therapy there is always a stigma that mental health is not as important or can be seen as a weakness due to society and social media. My goal as your counselor is to build a therapeutic relationship with one another and to help reach the goals you want to achieve.

For over 20 years, I have worked with a diverse population of adults including those who are HIV+ and with the LGBTQ community. My style is highly empathic and non-judgmental and my approach combines elements from Humanistic and Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing and EFT. I have experience treating individuals with depression, anxiety, OCD, chronic illness, eating disorders and those with a history of trauma and PTSD. I have additional training in Brainspotting, an evidence-based form of psychotherapy developed by David Grand, PhD, in 2003 that evolved from EMDR and Somatic Processing.

As a mind-body oriented therapist, I believe that our thoughts, emotions, nervous system, and physical body are interconnected. I combine theories of talk therapy while emphasizing the need to feel, re-process, and experience new emotions in the room together. I value collaboration and will use a strength-based, person-centered approach in our work together. I view you as the expert on your life, my role as a therapist is to foster a safe space and guide the healing process. I am also a musician and work with artists who experience creative blocks and those whose mental health is impacted by the industry.

I like to think of therapy from a Body-Mind-Spirit perspective, a holistic approach that invites all our parts into the healing process, creating opportunities for change and growth. I believe therapy is a way for individuals to connect and access their own wisdom to make the changes for a life that is most inspiring and fulfilling. I combine elements of Western psychotherapy, Neuroscience and Eastern traditions.

Hello! I am a New York State licensed Psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and reshape negative thoughts and unproductive behaviors or issues in a client's daily life. Many of my clients find it helpful to set goals together and break problems into small, manageable steps. I work in collaboration with my clients to achieve short term and long term goals.

If you are reading this, you have already taken the first and critical step in your healing journey. You may have found me because you are feeling tired, rundown, and burnt out from life's demands and relationships. You are no stranger to pain and feeling at a loss. My hope is that together we can put an end to your anguish and the answers you seek are near. My goal is that your level of motivation and commitment to yourself will be rewarded.

Are you living the life you want? Is your relationship a source of pain for you? Are you arguing more, trusting less, or finding yourself not looking forward to spending time together? Maybe your relationship feels stuck, like you're just replaying the same disagreement over and over again. Do you not like the person you are when you're in a relationship or wonder why you keep repeating patterns in the type of person you date? Human beings are wired for connection, yet somehow the people we are closest with also seem to cause us the most pain.

We all deserve to feel safe and secure in our daily lives; confident and calm in our social interactions. So many of us suffer from life altering or traumatic events which create barriers from living our full potential.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

At this time, my practice has a waitlist and it is approximately a 6 week wait for a new client appointment. I specialize in working with sex and relationship difficulties and treat individuals and couples. I help people understand the relationship patterns they've developed and how they continue to play out, even though they aren't helpful anymore.

Are you experiencing some feelings that may be too much to handle on your own? Are you trying to figure out the next steps in your life? Are you in the middle of a transition such as a break up or losing a loved one? Have you tried therapy before? This is a great first start to going down the road to getting the help you may need! There are times in everyone's life that moving forward can be feel very difficult. Whether its difficulties in your relationships with loved ones, determining your life goals, depression or anxiety. Having someone to talk to and work through these thoughts and feelings can be the start of self discovery.

Maybe you’re struggling with anxious thoughts, and worry has a hold on you. Or perhaps you just don’t feel like yourself. Or maybe you need help navigating a challenging season or past painful experiences have left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to enjoy life fully. Whatever it is, please know you don’t have to face it alone. As humans I know there are times in our lives when we can benefit from extra help. I also know from personal experience how challenging it can be to ask for help. Letting someone into the most intimate parts of your life can be very uncomfortable, but none of us are meant to journey this life alone.

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."
