Therapists in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. I encourage you to trust your intuition and find someone with whom you truly resonate. I work from a relational perspective which means the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of a successful therapy experience and an integral part of the entire process. I believe that spiraling toward health is everyone's natural state of being. Incorporating body, mind, and spirit, I work together with clients to transform and transcend blocks that stand in the way of actualizing their ultimate potentials.

Connection. It’s what we are all looking for. Connection with ourselves. Connection with others. But how do we achieve that in a world that constantly forces us to disconnect in order to survive? To numb out, to run from conflict, to judge, to avoid our vulnerability. Our vulnerability is what makes us beautiful. Let’s get back to that beauty. Whether you’re struggling with romantic relationships, work and family stress, or trying to cope with the multiple crises happening around the world, I’m here to support you. I’ve been a therapist for more than a decade and have helped hundreds of people just like you.

Life is hard. Let's team up to help you get through it as efficiently as possible. My educational background as an LCSW and your lived experience will help us develop a well-balanced life to deal with life stressors in an appropriate manner. I look forward to partnering with you.

As a therapist, I think it’s important to pay attention to the stories that we tell ourselves about our lives. Are you dealing with challenges or problems that make you feel like you are not in control of your own narrative? When you talk to yourself, are you sometimes less than kind? Do you feel unsure of where your story might be headed next? My approach to treatment is to provide a safe and protected space to help you nurture and develop your most authentic self.

“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy. I consider it an honor to be present with clients as they share their untold story, gain greater self-knowledge, and manifest the story that is yet to come. I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.

My clinical approach is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. Empathy, validation, and the provision of a safe environment are essential aspects of a positive healing alliance. It will become easier to make more satisfying choices by gaining a fuller understanding of yourself. Together, we can develop an approach that feels comfortable and help you find greater fulfillment in your life.

Hello, I am Tiffany Collier and welcome to my profile. When working with me, treatment is tailored to fit each client's specific needs and provided with an intention that encourages vulnerability and authenticity. My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, integrative, sincere, and non-judgmental with a touch of humor. I believe there is therapeutic value in humor, finding gratitude in the small things, and connecting to your higher self to find your purpose.

In approaching therapy, I consider two fundamental elements of human existence; the inextricable link between the mind-body, and our need for connection and a sense of purpose. In our work together, I hope to assist you in reaching your goals and addressing current stressors, while also helping you to create a solid foundation for your mental health moving forward.

Our time together will be that pause in the week to explore whatever challenges you may be experiencing. I work with people of all backgrounds but specialize in children of immigrants, people of color and premarital counseling. I'm a systems oriented therapist who is trained in family therapy, somatic and trauma informed modalities and bring a spiritual approach to the work. We'll identify all the factors that have brought you to this place in your life - intergenerational family dynamics, society, schooling, identity, etc. so that you can keep what you want and leave the rest behind.

From personal experience, I know how difficult it can be to ask for help and how overwhelming it can be to find a counselor who feels like the right fit. Through years of experience as both client and the counselor, it is my firm belief that each client deserves a trusted guide who lets you set the pace and direction on your path towards mental wellness. I strive to be an ally and advocate for my clients, and create a warm, soothing space for you to share your story. I have experience and interest working with adults struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, interpersonal/relationship challenges and behavior change.

Adults and families that partner with me are seeking guidance, compassion, goals that lead (not frustrate), a future plan and a "toolbox" that supports your transformation. You can see the specializations in my intro, and you may know acronyms like CBT, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT, REBT, ACT and these are foundations for the process of understanding emotions, behavior, patterns, the life you have lived and where you wish to take it. Mind/body work is another arm of gaining confidence and reaching goals. Our work will yield a pattern of new reactions and behaviors and the future you make.

As a mindfulness and somatic-based therapist, I offer powerful tools of transformation for people to open to, heal with, and befriend all parts of themselves. My therapeutic approach centers on creating the space for each individual to discover ways to utilize their innate untapped wisdom as an ally in their healing. I believe mindfulness and somatic-based interventions are accessible to anyone to help investigate and transform core beliefs and re-evaluate thought patterns. I aim to facilitate an experiential, relational, somatic, and person-centered experience for my clients integrating Somatic Experiencing® techniques, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, and meditation.

Immediate availability for New York and Texas based clients. Hello there! At times life can be challenging to navigate. During these times you can feel stuck, misunderstood and unable to move forward. Every time something goes well for you another thing happens to disrupt your happiness. It seems everyone around you is happy and moving through life with ease. You feel alone, confused and worried about your future, wishing could wake up the next day with no fears. You wonder if you will ever find peace, love and happiness.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have particular clinical interest in gender and sexual diversity, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques when helpful. I believe that the primary goal of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, including greater awareness of automatic or problematic patterns of behaving and relating to others.

At times in life, we find ourselves overwhelmed; in states of persistent mental or emotional distress, stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, and questioning which path best serves us. With greater consciousness of our patterns of thought, feeling and behavior, we can develop the capacity to meet these moments with the wisdom of our whole selves. By connecting more fully to our emotions, we can access our innate healing process and move towards greater integration. In honoring your unique story, we can explore how life’s suffering may be pointing you towards greater wholeness and a life of meaning.
