Adults Therapists in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY

Most people hope to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. I would love the opportunity to help you achieve this. For 30 years, my efforts were spent helping children and families in the educational environment. I have experience dealing with children diagnosed with emotional and educational disabilities. I have worked with children and adolescents with ADHD, anxiety, depression, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder, among others. Currently, my work is focused on psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults .

I have always been passionate about the wellbeing of people’s lives and have a strong desire to make a positive impact. I help my clients to find healthy perceptions of themselves, their environment and approach professional, family and personal relationships through a positive lens. Embarking on a therapeutic journey can promote a plethora of emotions with the most common one being fear but, please rest assure I am here. Through my work experience I have acquired the skills necessary to provide comfortability, effective communication, cultural diversity and a path to understanding ones self. Finding peace is priceless.

I appreciate the trust and bravery each client makes when sharing their story. I invite you into a warm and welcoming environment that is marked by curiosity, familiarity, and, whenever appropriate, bit of humor. Since there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the therapeutic process, I hope to meet you where you are and tailor my approach to your goals and personality. Through our collaboration we will gain insight into your needs and goals, determine how to utilize your strengths overcome those obstacles that have interrupted their progression into the next chapter.

I believe that a trusting and engaged relationship between the therapist and client provides a safe space for exploration and change. I am genuine and warm, offering trauma-informed psychotherapy to children, teenagers and adults with a strong emphasis on an integrative approach towards wellbeing, fostering healing and growth through both the mind and body. I specialize in trauma recovery, identity issues, anxiety, and depression. I work to empower individuals and families to identify and utilize their inherent strengths to navigate obstacles and interpersonal challenges.

I have been very privileged to work with wonderful clients over my twenty years of clinical practice. I have the utmost respect for my clients as they take the first step in reaching out for help. Dissatisfaction, unfulfillment and unhappiness in one's life is a great burden for anyone to carry. In my sessions, I work collaboratively and diligently with my clients to understand where they are in their lives and what is it they want to achieve. Through a dynamic and thoughtfully guided process we work together to move beyond the status quo and reach new and more satisfying ways of experiencing oneself.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience providing short and long-term therapy to adolescents, adults , and couples. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and issues related to gender, sexuality, and identity. I spent six of my first ten years of clinical experience in college counseling centers and particularly enjoy working with undergraduate and graduate students as they navigate this unique and challenging time in their lives.

I am Rebecca, a licensed social worker and psychotherapist currently offering teletherapy to individuals, couples, and families. I am an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming provider. My approach is rooted in strength, resilience, and the process of building authentic connection over time.

I have extensive experience working with foster and adoptive families, including having completed a two-year internship at New Alternatives for Children and training in an evidence-based treatment approach for children with attachment disorders. During this time, I worked with children, teens, adults , and couples who struggled with concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, intimacy, and women's issues. I collaborate with my clients to work toward goals that are often focused on finding balance, contentment, and fulfillment in their daily lives.

My goal is to create a space for you to feel deeply understood. I believe that compassionate connection is the foundation of healing and understand that it takes a great deal of courage and trust to engage in therapy. During the process of psychotherapy, I will help you to uncover your strengths, better understand the factors that may contribute to destructive behaviors, and articulate the thoughts, feelings, and memories that may be keeping you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

Locating a therapist can be a fearful and daunting process, however, once found can be rewarding as you begin to express your deepest and most personal story. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? Are you experiencing marital discord or dealing with a child who presents with attention difficulties, defiancy or truancy? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions and set limits for your children? Do you often feel overwhelmed and have noone to talk to? I look forward to helping you resolve your varied issues. Most of all I look forward to empowering you.

Feeling unfulfilled with certain aspects of your life? We’re often not aware of why we have these intense feelings or how to manage them. Overwhelming life experiences can contribute to negative beliefs about yourself. These experiences influence the way you perceive the world and impact those important to you. Together, we can alleviate the burden of such intense feelings.

I see adults from 18 - 88 years of age, from diverse ethnic, cultural, religious backgrounds and LGBTQIA. I have been trained to treat and continue to see patients with depression, anxiety, chronic pain and illness, obsessive-compulsive, eating disorders, anger, drugs, alcohol, post traumatic stress, interpersonal, relationship and intra psychic issues. Many, but not all of my patients work in creative fields, education and athletics. I run a group via zoom. Many of my patients are in individual and group concurrently. The combination of modalities helps patients to understand issues and work through them in real time.

I have the privilege of accompanying clients as they go through some of the most painful and some of the most joyous times of their lives. I see therapy as a journey that the client and therapist take together with the therapist playing the role of a traveling companion, guide, and interpreter. I have extensive experience providing counseling services to adolescents, adults , and families in various clinical settings. The focus of treatment includes improving self-image, changing negative self-talk, and working through trauma. My approach is collaborative, working together to define and achieve therapy goals.
