Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Do you want results? Are you finding that you keep getting in your own way? That your emotions, trauma, pain, BS stories and anxiety are preventing you from living the life you are meant to live? The good news is that there is always a way, a technique or perspective that can and will shift you and your life. The catch? You need to be willing to step into the unknown and get uncomfortable.

Living with ADHD is challenging. My ADHD clients struggle with time management, planning, getting started with and completing projects, creating reasonable morning and evening routines, and impulsivity. If you feel that you are constantly spinning your wheels without getting any traction working with a coach will help you get unstuck. As an ADHD coach I can help my clients manage the symptoms of ADHD, set specific goals and support them as they move toward acheiving those goals. I work with clients as part of their health care team.

Are you a queer or trans person feeling stuck or disconnected and looking for support with your relationships, sexuality, or gender? For many of us, navigating intimacy and seeking purpose in our lives can bring up the legacies of shame, estrangement, and trauma, and make us feel anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, or empty—especially in a time of increasing uncertainty, heightened injustice, and institutional failures. But as queer people we’re also highly adaptive and resilient. In my practice, I help clients build on this strength so they can brave tough moments, heal, and find a greater sense of authenticity and trust in themselves.

I have been a full time private practitioner for the past 15 years with a myriad of experience in the areas of anxiety and depression, parenting skills, post-partum depression, pre and post marital couple's therapy, and body image issues. I work both psycho-dynamically and cognitively, providing a warm and safe environment for talking to begin. Please feel free to contact me anytime to set up an initial consultation. Will look forward to hearing from you.

I provide supportive, strength-based therapy for clients facing a variety of mental health challenges. Whether you have a specific issue or are curious to explore yourself more, I will support you in diving deeper into yourself and the world around you to release old patterns and habits, identify places you feel stuck or held back, and create the life you want to be living. My style is warm and affirming with an emphasis on empowering clients. I value down-to-earth communication, humor when appropriate, and authenticity.

As we are all confronted with the challenges of the current public health crisis, many of us are experiencing significant changes to our social and familial relationships, our economic realities, and our sense of normalcy. This can naturally contribute to feelings of anxiety, stress, fear, and uncertainty. Therapy can provide you with a supportive space to process and navigate these challenging times. My approach to therapy is to partner with you to create an individualized and goal-directed treatment plan that draws upon your strengths, and enables you to make lasting changes.

With curiosity and compassion I aim to offer individuals not merely a physical space to sort through concerns; but the opportunity to create space in the thought process for insight to occur. Through reflection on relationships, and the collaborative examination of formative experiences, we will drive toward the identification and adoption of alternative perspectives. This is a reliable path to healing and meaningful, lasting change. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a free consultation to determine if I would be a "good fit" to aid you in addressing concerns.

I worked at Counseling Associates in Lake Forest Il until 1998

The decision to enter into therapy can be overwhelming but finding a connection to the right therapist can change your life. I believe that the foundation of the therapeutic process is built on rapport. I understand that being vulnerable and sharing areas of your life can be difficult, and I am here to make that easier for you by collaborating with you to reach your desired goals. My style has been described as the antithesis of a note scratching, cliché, therapist.

The collective grief of the pandemic has left us facing anxiety and unstability we may have already been managing before, but it's now magnified by the loss of so much of what we remember having. Emerging feelings can include grief, depression, relationship issues, parenting stress, and even anger. This can leave us feeling isolated and alone as we struggle to navigate through the monotony and difficulties of our new every day.

I will work collaboratively with you to analyze areas you feel need improvement, manage stress, clarify goals, and modify unwanted patterns in your life. I specialize in reducing anxiety, improving relationship dynamics, facilitating a deeper understanding of family issues, and assisting and supporting you through life transitions. I have a lot of experience with the LGBTQIA community, people in non-monogamous relationships, young adults and teens. Currently only offering virtual sessions.

I am a New York State-licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist with several years of clinical experience. My specialty includes neuropsychological, psychological, and psychoeducational evaluations that include the assessment of ADHD, learning disorders, speech and language disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, and mood disorders, among others. I am equipped to work with children as young as 4, adolescents, and young adults. My educational background includes a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at Lenox Hill Hospital, a Psy.D. and M.A. in Child/School Psychology from New York University, and a B.A. in psychology from Wesleyan University, Phi Beta Kappa.

Hi, I’m Katherine, and I’m glad you found me. I love working with individuals and couples who seek to carve out a path of hope and newly imagined potential for themselves. Whether that’s moving through a transition, trauma, loss, or just wanting to feel “unstuck”, I accompany my clients through the muddy waters of emotions and life circumstances toward greater clarity and new possibilities, finding a more full version of self. Attuning to your own well of intuition and finding a sense of direction within your own dreams is what we can work toward together.

Are you feeling worried all the time? Do you feel hopeless or alone? We all experience difficulties in life, obstacles that hold us back from reaching our goals. Is work leaving you feeling so stressed you can't focus on anything else? Are family relationships difficult and emotionally draining? Is parenting becoming a struggle? Whether you suffer with anxiety, depression or relationship issues we can work together to figure out how to manage all these things and learn skills to help you cope.

I have to agree that finding the precise therapist can be quite challenging! Hopefully I can make your search less hectic if given the opportunity. I provide an unbiased, trusting environment necessary to explore vulnerabilities which foster healing. I have success working with clients of various ages from diverse backgrounds. I have received advanced training in Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse, and I am also well-versed in cognitive, behavioral, mindfulness, and psychodynamic approaches. I combine techniques from different therapeutic modalities to help my clients reach their goals to success and overall self-fulfillment.

I believe that symptoms such as anxiety, depression, dissatisfaction in relationships, and feeling “lost” are cues to investigate what is truly happening within us, and attend to it. I believe that feelings of empowerment enable individuals to obtain power, authority, and influence over themselves, institutions or society. I have experience working with adults and young adults from various communities and across the spectrum of gender and sexuality, and I am committed to ongoing learning from my clients about the truth of their own lived experience.
