Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”—Joan Didion Sometimes life takes a bad turn. Sometimes something awful happens and we need to learn to cope. Sometimes we find ourselves in a veritable dark wood, bereft of hope, looking for some way out. Often we try things that don't work, or that work all too well, or that bring further trouble and suffering into our lives. We struggle with work, relationships, our health, money, and, most importantly, making sense of our struggles, so mired are we in the everyday grind of existence.

We all have ideas of what our lives are going to look like. Processing events that veer life off the anticipated course can be difficult. Similarly, the anticipated course does not always feel as we expected it would. It is okay to not be okay, It is not okay to suffer. I have extensive experience in the field of Maternal Mental Health, particularly with obstetrics, postpartum emotional experiences, supporting partners during fertility struggles, and fetal and infant loss.

I aim to create a safer, braver space for exploring with each client while we challenge both the external, structural factors and internal, individual factors impacting their life. For all clients, my aim is to work with you to identify and work through the challenges you may be experiencing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, and more. As an individual who identifies as nonbinary, I am also here to relate with and support clients who are exploring, re-examining, or reaffirming their experiences with gender identity and sexual orientation.

If you are interested in learning more about psychedelic healing with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, I am here to support and guide you in that process. Psychedelics, such as Ketamine, work to dissociate the mind from the body giving us a glimpse into our unconscious. The psychedelic experience allows the patient to uncover deep-rooted emotions and content that remain the cause of their present-day symptoms. For many, this experience can act as a breakthrough. We will collaborate on designing a program that helps integrate these insights into lifestyle adjustments using art and trauma informed talk therapy.

"A Goal Without a Deadline is just a Dream." I am trained in the leading evidence based practice to help my clients meet their target Life goals. I work closely with clients to partialize and prioritize problems to help them attain long term results in short term sessions. The main goal is to help the clients work through creative blockages that help them to achieve what their heart desires.

I provide affordable psychotherapy services to adults, adolescents, couples and families at Brooklyn Marriage & Family Therapy, PLLC.

Whether you or your child are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, or with navigating the journey of parenting, my goal is to meet you where you are and to work together to bring about sustainable change. My particular expertise lies in the area of child and adolescent treatment, including several years working with gender nonconforming teenagers, adults struggling with relationships and life transitions, and parent support, guidance and training.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples live their most fulfilling lives. I look forward to developing a meaningful relationship with you and learning your unique story.

Hello! We can all get overwhelmed. New challenges can emerge, coping skills cease working, and new skills need developing. Therapy can help light the way. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, or everyday life becoming unmanageable, therapy can provide you with the tools to cope. I want to be there to support you during this process. Successful therapy starts with the formation of the counselor-client bond. Therapy is a relationship where a private, supportive, and non-judgmental alliance is fostered.Psychic injuries, biological dispositions, familial experiences, and successful life experiences shape our present.

Hello! I am Jasmin Torres, bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed mental health counselor, counseling from a christian perspective. You may be here because you are a Hopeful or Expectant Mother, an every day Leader trying to find a place to unwind, and renew your strength, or someone who is experiencing low self esteem and trying to figure out the underlying causes. I could imagine that you are seeking to find purpose in your life, and thrive in your goals. You may be someone who wants to be pregnant, or is already pregnant, and want to make sure you are emotionally well to be able to nature your baby as he/she develops within you.

I am a highly trained psychoanalytically oriented Clinical Social Work Psychotherapist, with over a quarter century of experience. I work with different theoretical approaches according to the needs of my clients (Every one is different). I treat people with anxiety disorder, depression, mourning issues, bi-polar illness, life transitions, relationship issues and work related concerns. I specialize in treatment with adults 21 and over, many of whom are caregivers for family members.

What are the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves? Where do we learn them? Therapy is a great place to start creating new stories that are more aligned with your values and desires. I believe that healing happens in the relationship and approach therapy as a creative, collaborative experience between therapist and client, where humor, kindness, and self-expression are valued and encouraged. My areas of expertise include working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and family conflict, though I work with individuals of all ages to help them manage the stressors of life and achieve greater self-awareness

I am a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST). I will work with you wherever you are at in your life and customize my clinical techniques to meet your needs. I specialize in sex and sexuality, but offer therapy in many other areas. In addition, because a sex therapist such as myself is knowledgeable about alternative lifestyles, identities and gender expressions, some find that sessions with a sex therapist can be helpful in resolving issues unrelated to their sexuality. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Hunter College in Manhattan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and cocreator of Wise Sex Therapy Assoc.

All people have the capacity to face challenges and respond to difficult times and feelings. If you suffer with ruminations, depression, anxiety, or even that nagging voice that says that you aren't "good enough," I can help you find happiness and peace. I have an integrative style that combines various forms of behavioral therapies, including CBT and ACT. I love helping patients use mindfulness to help create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I Specialize In Working With Pre-Teens, Teenagers, And Young Adults. People enter therapy for a multitude of reasons, whether it’s due to a significant trauma, difficulty navigating relationships or just to feel supported and heard in their lives. In today’s burdensome world, it’s important to take time to care for our minds and address any areas that may be hindering us from living our most authentic lives. I help clients identify their intentions for therapy, provide genuine support and provide them with the tools that allow them to unlock their own potential.

I work with young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identify confusion, and relationship issues. Many of my clients work on improving confidence, self-esteem and skills and tools to help deal with life stressors.

There are many reasons why psychotherapy could be helpful. In my therapy practice, we work collaboratively to create a safe space, learn how to slow down, listen to your body, listen to ourselves, develop fresh language which can describe our process, and access inner wisdom. We develop a therapeutic relationship which will support our process with gaining clarity, relief, balance, and reconnecting with all parts of us which are suffering.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of diverse Social Work experience. My passion is in helping others be the best version of themselves and maximizing their potential. Together we will take this mental health journey and work through traumas, losses, betrayals, fears and insecurities. We will seek to find healing by replacing your pain with power, insight and empathy. I will incorporate learned theories and proven evidence based practical experience in each of our sessions. In our therapeutic relationship, you will always be heard, respected, supported, validated and challenged to be the best version of YOU.

I'm not here to help you become "normal" (whatever that is) because you can and should aim higher than that. I am here to help you learn about --and become-- your truest self, in all your idiosyncratic, beautiful, infuriating complexity. I'll work collaboratively with you --individually, in an interpersonal process group, or both-- to help you move from Point A (a place of stuckness, disengagement, indecision, of somehow managing to feel overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the exact. same. time.) to Point B (land of decisiveness, clarity, awareness of who you are and what you want to spend your energy creating in the world). It's amazing how quickly being honest with yourself, true to yourself, clears up anxiety, depression and brain fog. Unsurprisingly, as with most big undertakings, this kind of work can be rough going at times. But if you're anything like most of the folks I see --smart, creative, entrepreneurial, growth-oriented people who have done a lot of personal work already-- you are, by this point, more than ready to bring in the big guns.
