Life is a journey. Some days the road is smooth, unobstructed and paved with optimism. Other days the path is rocky, full of twists and turns. Along the way, everyone experiences setbacks and struggles. No two people are alike because we process, experience and react to emotions and events differently. I believe in tailoring my therapy and providing each patient I see with an individualized approach and plan. Whether you are returning to therapy or just starting, know that you are taking a brave and honest first step.

I provide services in Clinical and Forensic psychology. My growing speciality in parent child contact problems has led to my work in reunification therapy, co-parenting therapy, and to conduct parental fitness, best interest, and custody neutral assessment. I pride myself on being transparent and direct when working with clients yet empathic and open. I also treat issues related to trauma, anger management, depression, addictions, and conduct both neuropsychological assessment and psychoeducational assessment. My approach is integrative and collaborative, and includes CBT, Anger Management, and psychodynamic techniques.

You feel like something is holding you back...whether it's at work, in your relationship, as a parent, or just in where you thought your life would be by now. For the most part your life, career, or marriage is ok;but you envision better. You want to feel the depth and intimacy you once felt with your partner and stop the ongoing arguments. You want to stop holding back at work; or feeling inadequate as a parent because you just don't know what to do next about your child's behavior. You are stressed and overwhelmed, feeling like no one truly gets it. Your relationships are well enough, but you are missing depth, connection and meaning. Perhaps you are waiting for motivation to strike you? As you wait, the days, months, and years fly by and you remain stuck, vowing that next week...month...year...or time, things will be different. Why wait? You deserve NOW. You want to thrive in your life and change the way things feel at this moment. You want to stop repeating the same patterns, arguments, and situations that keep you unhappy. Perhaps you can do it alone, but what if nothing changes? There is a better solution. Seeking outside support is a sign of strength and readiness for change

I believe that the most effective therapy awakens clients to the knowledge and wisdom that they already possess but are not in touch with. By tapping into their individual strengths, clients can begin to heal from past experiences and overcome barriers to living and loving fully. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist who specializes in showing both adults and adolescents how to reach their full potential . My practice is strictly virtual these days, which allows clients to skip the commute and connect with me from the comfort of their home or workplace.

Hello, There are times in life when we seek to make changes, whether that change is within ourselves or our circumstances, many times both. Life can appear stressfull, anxiety provoking or depressing, and sometimes overwhelming. Sometimes we need to find additional coping because what we are doing presently, may not be enough.

For a lot of people the idea of therapy can be scary and daunting. A successful therapy session is one where you leave recognizing your own inner and outer resources to deal with the ups and downs of life. Think of it more as a problem-solving workshop. At Brodsky Wellness LLC we will work together to uncover your own strengths to deal with the challenges that arise through life. You will have the space to feel vulnerable and explore any fears or tough feelings that you don’t feel comfortable sharing with the people you love. Understanding your own story may take some bravery, and I would be happy to accompany you on that journey.

Are you feeling disconnected, stuck, unmotivated, and like you’re in the passenger seat of your own life? Do feelings of nervousness and restlessness cloud your mind? Do you find yourself constantly doing for others, and feeling depleted at the end of each day?

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
