**At this time, all of the therapists at Brooklyn Psychotherapy are full. We will update this site as soon as we have openings.** As the founder and Director at Brooklyn Psychotherapy, I understand the difficulty of the human experience and my goal is to assist my patients in learning to be who they are and to cope with the world around them. I have assisted adults, couples, families, and children in their struggle to identify and achieve goals in a comforting, private, understanding environment. There is currently a wait list for appointments, however, you're welcome to check in with us for new openings.

Dr. Alejandra Chavez
PsyD
Having difficulty finding someone who can hold your pain without compromising your comfort? Need some help with your Life purpose? From practicing effective communication, learning strategies to manage feelings of anxiety or depression, or finding a safe place to experiment new parts of who you are--whatever you think can improve, let me help you reach those goals. That said, not many people know exactly what they want or how therapy can facilitate change, and that is okay. A vague understanding that life can be more than "what is," is enough. That acknowledgement got you this far, let us do the rest of the work together.

Does it feel like you have no energy and feel like something is holding you back, but you can't put your finger on it? Do you want to talk to someone but struggle with feeling that you will be judged? Therapy can help you to find a path in life that is more fulfilling. It provides a safe space to express the thoughts and address stressors (depression, anxiety, trauma and/or relationship stressors). My goal as your therapist is to show up for you unconditionally and support you in your journey towards feeling your best.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf" is a Jon Kabat-Zinn quote relevant to these challenging times. I help individuals become less stressed and more available to pursue their goals. Therapy should be a positive experience for you where you feel heard and supported and gain new insights into your feelings and experiences. Our sessions will focus on you becoming restored and replenished with more energy for the things you value. Whether you are experiencing a short term challenge or ongoing struggle, therapy will help you discover new approaches and perspectives in resolving obstacles in your path.

Often times, we as individuals will struggle with our relationships with our families, employers, and even acquaintances. When dealing with everyday life we need to recognize how we can approach each individual differently. Personally I would like to address anger management techniques and manage stress and anxiety with individuals in their daily lives. Learning to control the trajectories in our lives and aim for healthy relationships with all individuals we encounter can maximize our relationships. My mission is to address cultural issues within our homes and co dependency.

With 25 years of experience, I utilize verbal and art therapy to help you find your emotional voice whether it be about a current situation that is causing you distress or something from your past or future. We hold on to thoughts, behaviors and feelings that seem too overwhelming to share with others. We fear vulnerability. We run from difficult feelings/thoughts. We feel ashamed of our emotional "baggage". Then, we try to hide under a mask because of shame, fear, and anxiety. But hiding in shame only makes us feel isolated, empty and experience self hatred. We become disconnected from others and our selves.

You want to enjoy the present moment and not let the past define you. You’re tired of replaying previous stressful experiences over and over again in your head. It might feel like you’re stuck in these patterns because you have tried everything you know to avoid these thoughts and feelings. You are ready to be in control no matter how high your anxiety is. You deserve to feel safe and empowered in your body and in your relationships. It is time to quiet that inner critic that tells you that you aren’t good enough or that you are doing something wrong. Most of all, it is time to bring your authentic self to light!

I believe that therapy should be as multi-dimensional and adaptive as you are. You are the expert on your own life, and the therapy space that we create together is one that centers and honors your resiliency and strengths. I believe my role as your therapist is to help facilitate your movement toward healing. You decide what you want to work on, and together we move at the speed of trust. My approach as a practitioner is integrative, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I use mindfulness and embodiment practices, including somatic parts work, and relational and attachment approaches.

Life provides opportunity for joy, creativity, fulfillment and love. Sometimes it is tumultuous when one is faced with challenges, conflict or change. Are you searching for meaning, balance, resolution or understanding as you face all that is present in your life? Do you feel lost in the changes? Is something stirring in you to have more? In exploring and being present with your emotions, thoughts and beliefs, it allows for a reparative experience, release of the old patterns and open space for new possibilities. It also promotes mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health and integration.

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.
