Obesity Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

My practice is informed by my firm conviction in the possibility of change, founded in extensive personal & professional experience. I employ an eclectic approach in therapy, with a primary focus on interpersonal, psychodynamic treatment. I have successfully worked with people struggling with many of life's central challenges: identity, relationships, depression, & self-defeating or self-destructive behaviors. I have particular expertise in working with people affected by alcoholism/addiction: not only those who have substance abuse problems, but also the partners or adult children of alcoholics/addicts & people in long-term recovery.

I assist in helping each individual work through whatever may have brought them into therapy so that they can find their own internal potential and ability to better cope with stressful situations. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety and panic related disorders, PTSD, relationship struggles, bereavement, and work related issues. I believe that therapy offers the individual a safe space to share their struggles and work on ways to resolve these difficulties with the support and assistance of the therapist.

These are challenging fast-moving times. The demands from family, career, social and romantic relationships can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. How do we find the time to excel in our professional lives and simultaneously make room for healthy loving connections with those that are important to us? How do we manage our anxiety, sadness, and grief in real-time when we are feeling angry, confused, isolated, and perhaps abusing alcohol, drugs to numb the overwhelming sense of fear, depression, or frustration we feel in our lives? How do we live our best lives and gravitate toward healthier connections and decision making?

I believe that the choice to start talk therapy is a brave and empowering one, a moment where you are choosing to invest some time to learn more about who you are and where you've come from - knowledge you can use to improve your life. It doesn't matter if you are dissatisfied with your personal and/or professional relationships, struggling to identify your life goals, pondering the meaning of life, or stuck in what feels like an endlessly repeating loop of challenges -- knowledge is power.

Life can be complicated and circumstances can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, others and the world. Maybe you feel shame, anxiety, loneliness, struggles with eating and body image, or are needing support as a new parent. I treat a range of issues and embrace a body-mind-spirit approach that understands your symptoms as an invitation to look deeper within to reclaim a state of liberation, wholeness and healing. I work from place of curiosity and collaboration with you so you can feel better, discover your path and live a life of purpose and meaning.
