Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Throughout my career treating those with substance abuse and mental health issues, I have learned that one of therapy's most healing aspects is the relationship and trust we build with one another. I strive to create a space where you can be your authentic self without judgment because when that is possible the work of healing can begin.

I am a New York based psychotherapist providing teletherapy. I work on a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, sexual orientation, gender identity, difficult interpersonal relationships, occupational problems, trauma and chronic illness. My training in social justice and systemic oppression are valuable when working with clients experiencing racism, homophobia, sexism, poverty and intimate partner violence. I am here to help you identify the sources of dis-ease and discomfort in your life and then assist you in responding to them.

I am an LMSW providing both individual and family therapy. I work primarily with preschool-aged and school aged children, teens, and families. I utilize play and art in my sessions, but I also help my clients to develop and practice new skills where appropriate. I enjoy helping families to strengthen relationships, and I practice from an attachment perspective. Play is a child's natural way of communicating, which makes it a perfect fit for many children in therapy! I often work with older children, teens, and adults as well, and tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of each person and family I work with.

Hello . I am an experienced psychotherapist, and very easy to talk to. I work with individual adults, families and children and help each individual and family function better. We work together to understand the triggers to emotional challenges in order to better manage emotions and behavior.

Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, and also relieving; it is an act of hope. I believe that the potential for personal growth and change within all of us is enormous, and I value the opportunity to work with clients as we weave between the present and the past to explore the impact each has on the other. I help my clients examine their personal histories and uncover unconscious barriers to achieving goals. I work with clients to uncover the stories that they have told themselves or have been told to them about who they are that keep them stuck.

Seeking therapy can be an intimidating and overwhelming process. From acknowledging that you would like more support to searching for the right therapist for you, it takes effort and courage to face your challenges and risk vulnerability. I aim to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can bring your authentic self. To be open without fear of judgment is to move towards freedom and expansion. I especially enjoy working with BIPOC couples & families to explore issues of race, sex, gender, culture, and other identity that may be impacting your overall wellbeing. In this work, I believe problems reside between

Hi! I am Vanessa Ramirez, a bilingual licensed therapist. A first-generation American who is passionate about supporting other first generation and immigrant Americans find the healing they deserve. My culturally sustaining and integrative approach is guided by psychodynamic, trauma-focused and attachment therapy. I believe in the power of healing through self-discovery, understanding past experiences, and addressing trauma to empower individuals to thrive.

Taking the first steps towards treatment can often seem intimidating and overwhelming; we’re not sure what we’re getting ourselves into or if we’re even ready to make a change.  I find that a compassionate and empathetic manner, coupled with a sense of humor, is the most effective way to make sure that you feel heard. Therapy should always be about your own individual process and the unique set of circumstances that have led you to treatment. We’ll work together to address any concerns that you might have, and do so at a pace that you’re comfortable with.

I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to explore issues related to relationships, sex and sexuality. Often times shame, guilt, anxiety and sadness are the core emotions at the center of our distress. Together we can work towards facing some of these feelings in order to lead you towards a path of healing and empowerment. In understanding yourself and your needs better I hope you can begin to feel more confident in making decisions, letting go of the things you may have been holding onto, or feeling more connected to yourself and others.

Whether you are experiencing the loss of a loved one, anxiety during a life transition, or would like to improve your interpersonal relationships, I am here to support while we collaboratively find solutions. I believe in your resiliency and ability to withstand challenges and stressors in life. Reaching out to find help is a significant first step that showcases desire for change! I have experience working with individuals experiencing grief and have provided individual and group therapy to children and adults who have experienced a loss. Also, I have worked extensively with adults of varying abilities to develop self-advocacy.

For many people, psychotherapy can be a powerful instrument for growth. I create a safe, collaborative, trusting environment for you to explore and clarify how to make lasting, positive change in your life. It is my belief that therapy must be tailored to each person's unique needs, and I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual.

My goal in working with you is to provide a safe/non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing the issues that bother you. Life has a way of bringing us challenges that we are not always prepared for. It might be related to a medical condition, issues with family, or the loss of a loved one. Sometimes it is related to trying to be comfortable in the life we have built for ourselves and the expectations of the community we live in. We will work together to identify your personal goals and strengths as you develop a plan to manage these life issues.

I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in grief, loss, depression, and anxiety. I often meet with people who are new to (or a little skeptical of) therapy, but are dealing with a major loss. That loss could be grief from losing a loved one, or it could come from losing a job, a pet, an important relationship, or any change in circumstances that has you reeling and questioning how to move forward. If you're feeling a heaviness that prevents you from enjoying your life, I'm here to help you.

I have been a licensed clinical psychotherapist since 1993. I've worked for Catholic Charities and the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services and started private practice in 2013. I emphasize psychodynamic psychotherapy (I studied at the Psychoanalytic Institute of California), but shape my approach to each individual client and his or her needs and goals. My work has centered on mature adults with mental, emotional or physical disorders, but I have treated clients of all ages and diagnoses. I develop an empathic connection with each client, bringing about a firm relationship and lasting change.

I am a New York licensed psychotherapist with over 10 years experience working in the field of mental health. I work with children, teens, families and adults. As a former professional dancer, I am particularly attuned to how we listen to our bodies and process stressful experiences.
