Self Esteem Therapists in Downtown, Brooklyn, NY

My client relationships are very special to me. I look forward to learning who my clients are and exploring their thoughts, feelings, fears and dreams. My therapeutic goals do not involve “fixing” you. I sit with you through suffering, doubt, and insecurity. I celebrate your resilience, growing self-acceptance and milestones. I affirm and validate who you are, trusting your expert insight on yourself. I offer a caring therapist’s perspective and interpretation. My clients tend to be creative and/or analytical individuals who appreciate my approach to therapy as an art rather than a science.

It is a courageous move to seek help. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of the individual or couple. I have experience with a diverse set of clients and a variety of interventions. From a non-judgmental stance, using a holistic and client-centered approach I aim to explore patterns of thought or behavior that cause pain, shame, stress, anxiety and sadness. I assist in in exploring the roots of internalized negative messages, and to develop techniques to combat those negative beliefs; to enhance self-esteem and self-worth, build strong relationships, establish boundaries and clear hurdles that feel insurmountable.

Welcome! I'm Natalie, a psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults who are navigating relationships, dealing with self-esteem issues, and are searching for more meaning in their lives. I work well with young, creative professionals who are eager to learn about themselves, address undesired patterns, and who are looking for support in piecing things together. While anxiety, depression and relational conflicts are very common, it doesn't make them any easier to navigate. Understanding the root cause of these issues can help us find relief from symptoms and help us build a foundation of compassion and understanding.

The focus of my practice is to help others overcome low self-esteem/confidence, relationship or interpersonal issues, a sense of disconnection, difficulties with school or career, "impostor syndrome," and the pressures of starting a family. These issues often entail finding a helpful way to cope with anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficult emotions.

I am passionate about helping you connect to your innate goodness and lovability while improving your self-esteem. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety or having difficulty managing a transition or life change, your sense of self may have taken a hit. By developing a genuine relationship with you and using creativity, evidence based treatment and little humor we can work collaboratively to make little improvements that will have a big impact. You are ready for change and I am here to help you get there.

As a parent of a struggling child or teen, do you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better? Do they wrestle with daily stressors (school and homework pressure, family/peer issues, self-image, COVID-19 fears) and emotional issues ? Parents often feel that they have run out of ideas of how to help. They just want their child to thrive. I have helped children and teens that were struggling with anxiety disorders, self-regulation, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and anger issues. I work with parents to help them develop strategies to help their children as their needs change over the years.

As a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT), I believe that creativity is essential to the journey towards self-discovery and transformation. Through the lens of story, role, and metaphor I like to explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, while highlighting the parts of self that are adaptive. I specialize in the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, people who have infertility challenges, relationship issues, and adolescents/young adults who's self-esteem has been impacted by learning challenges and other life obstacles. I work from an anti- oppressive and trauma informed lens.

We are all collectively facing a stressful period in our lives. Covid 19 has changed almost everything that we once knew. Especially now we need to feel connected and have a safe place to discuss your feelings. Starting therapy can often be difficult and intimidating. My supportive approach helps to establish a connection in which you can feel heard and understood. We will work together to uncover issues and behaviors that have stopped you from being able to reach your goals and experience a sense of well being, In the process, you will acquire greater awareness and discover coping methods that will help manage your feelings.

I help to build a safe, warm and accepting environment where you can feel encouraged to express yourself. I have a large scope of practice experience working with relationship and dating issues, struggling with a break-up/divorce, working through infidelity, sexual identity issues, low self-esteem, and work and academic related stress. I use a variety of methods focusing on an approach that is customized to each person's unique needs and healing process.

Are you experiencing anxiety, self-esteem issues, and/or communication problems with your partner, family, friends, or coworkers? Do you feel worried and overwhelmed? Are you disconnected from yourself or struggling with inner conflict? I work primarily with women in their 20s and 30s to develop effective communication and coping skills, improve relationships through increased self-esteem, and an expanded ability to set attainable goals and effective boundaries. My clients can expect to develop practical problem-solving and decision making skills, improved confidence, and a better sense of wellbeing through supportive therapy.

Have feelings of uncertainty and stress impacted your ability to be present in everyday life? Are you often criticizing yourself and worrying about what others think? Maybe you have experiences of trauma that leave you feeling unmotivated, isolated, and disconnected from your authentic self. You deserve the opportunity to prioritize your well-being and break free from the cycle of negative self-talk. Reaching out for support is an incredibly courageous step. Using a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can gain deeper insights.

Life can feel overwhelming these days, and meaningful relationships, joys and values can be hard to sustain. The coping patterns we adopt often get in the way of feeling better, and connected with others. My practice fosters an empathetic environment where clients are at ease exploring emotions and concerns. Collaboratively, we address issues such as anxiety, depression and self-esteem struggles, and tackle problems such as relationship difficulties, life transitions, loss and work-related stressors. Jointly, we will define concrete goals, develop real-life coping skills and become more aware of underlying barriers to well-being.

Hi I am Danielle! I see therapy as a path to self-discovery where you can cultivate self-compassion, self-acceptance, and a flexible mindset. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for all individuals to understand their inner world more deeply. My approach is primarily rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, but I also integrate elements of relational-psychodynamic therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy in order to help you to reach your therapeutic goals. I have particular experience working with college students who struggle with performance anxiety while navigating a world fixated on achievement.

You want to transform and change but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to attain your goals. This can leave you feeling stuck, tired and vulnerable. I help motivated young women, professionals and therapists go from feeling anxious, caught in a life stage, wanting to find meaningful relationships, accelerate at work and improve self-esteem, to living an empowered life where there is a roadmap for change. We work together to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, establish an empowered sense of self and develop confidence to match. I work with those who are motivated to transform their lives with a clearer vision and path.

Accepting new clients- I recognize no single approach is the right one for every individual. My practice encompasses supportive exploration of your identified goals with compassion, insight and an integrative blend of therapy methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing disturbances related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. I provide safe space to manage your thoughts and feelings, and develop new coping strategies while offering you a balance of empathy and accountability.

Are you ready to discover the best version of yourself? Together we can overcome obstacles, gain insight, and learn how to build and keep healthy relationships. Addressing unproductive and maladaptive thought patterns by yourself can be difficult, to near impossible. Many young adults experience difficulties with peers, relationships, sexual issues, family differences, school, or career challenges. All of these issues can feel overwhelming, but I am here to listen and help guide you through these stressful situations.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel accepted, loved, and worthy. As your therapist, I will discuss and begin to understand different aspects of your life. Together we will develop goals to overcome specific challenges for you to live a life where you feel more connected, hopeful, and fulfilled. While I work with clients of all different ages and presenting issues, a big part of my practice is supporting individuals looking to increase their self-esteem, process past trauma, or decrease levels of anxiety and depression.
