Spirituality Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

I am a culturally competent, trauma-informed psychotherapist who believes in a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples, and polyamorous, nonmonogamous, multi-partner relationships using a holistic approach to psychological and emotional wellness.

I provide a warm and safe environment where the most troubling issues can be discussed with ease and comfort & difficult relationships can be examined without anger and hurt. I believe the goal of therapy is to help you grow and realize your full potential, build new skill-sets, reconnect to your inner strength and find inner calm and tranquility. Together help you find peace, joy and happiness in daily life. We will work together with compassion and collaboration to support your well-being. My approach is influenced by eastern and western philosophies, non-dualism, Buddhism, Zen and spirituality .

I am a highly experienced psychotherapist, with a spiritual orientation. I use psychodynamic therapy, hypnosis, meditation and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to help individuals and couples find their own power. I offer you a safe space, an empathic manner and my active involvement to help you overcome anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, work difficulties, smoking cessation, medical problems and many other issues I have worked with people from many different backgrounds and am very eclectic in my approach. For those who wish, I will help you explore the meaning of spirituality in your life.

I provide both brief and longer-term counseling to individuals and couples grappling with a range of challenges, from life transitions, anxiety and depression to complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. Trauma is a particular focus of mine and I continually educate myself on the most helpful methods of healing. I take a holistic approach, and will work with you to explore how diet and nutrition, activity, sleep, belief systems and relationships impact your overall well-being.

The decision to begin therapy takes a great deal of personal integrity and courage. These qualities, which have led you here, will enable you to make positive changes in your life and relationships. As your psychotherapist, I will work with you to create lasting change through insight, support, and the opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself. My approach is relational and person-centered, and I emphasize each individual's potential for empowered change and growth. After clarifying your objectives, we will work in collaboration to achieve your goals by addressing and transforming the painful emotions and obstacles in your life.

Feeling trapped, unable to express yourself, powerless to control your own emotions? Are you alone or isolated? I can help you to break free from the constraints of anxiety and depression and take control of your own life’s course. Therapy will help you to learn about how your past impacts your experience of the present.

The stories and struggles you share in therapy convey how you've been hindered from fully realizing your true self. Perhaps it also reveals how abuse and neglect cheated you out of developing untapped potentials. Unhealed traumas lead to victimization and illness. Restoring the parts of the self that were abandoned for the sake of survival, so that wholeness can result, is a primary goal of therapy. Together we can name your injuries and losses so as to encourage healing and reclaim what you were robbed of. With real commitment and effort a life of thriving can occur. For this to happen, a safe, trusting collaboration is needed.

Engaging in therapy can mean many different things, but more than anything, it the shared creation of a safe space for support. I work with my clients on building a space where one can truly feel seen and cared for, in order to identify unmet needs and create a better life for oneself. I primarily work with individuals on managing stress and anxiety in work and relationships, as well as learning to understand challenging thoughts, feelings, and improving overall lifestyle choices.

CREATIVITY DEVELOPMENT COUNSELING: I am an artist and psychotherapist with special training and extensive experience counseling visual artists, writers, musicians, actors and other creative professionals. Establishing a life which supports and nourishes one's creativity is an enormous challenge. There are conflicts of time versus money, structure vs. freedom, the need for connection to others and the need for solitude and creative time. Societal values and internalized parental expectations exert an unconscious influence on what we believe is possible.

As a native New Yorker, I understand the challenges of finding some space in this city - physically, mentally, and emotionally. 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. My approach is one that considers all factors that have contributed to your understanding of self - family, culture, society, relationships, etc.

I am a queer, non-binary, depth-oriented clinical psychologist. My therapeutic approach seeks to explore the deep impacts of others (familial, peer, and social) on the mind and spirit of my patients. My clinical areas of expertise are in gender & sexuality and trauma. Given that trauma and emotional pain often originate within relationships, I take a relational (and deeply compassionate) approach to therapy.

As a clinical psychologist my goal is to help clients find ways to help themselves be happier and more satisfied with their lives. People usually come to therapy because they are suffering in some way: perhaps anxious or depressed or they have trouble finding or sustaining meaningful relationships. The goal of treatment is to begin to talk openly and honestly about the obstacles in ones life and to think about how to move forward. I will work toward putting you in charge of your own well being, but I will also work carefully to ensure you are safe and well cared for: this will be a collaborative effort.

Many people approach therapy as a last resort, when most everything else has disappointed them. Some know what they are missing in their life, but not how to begin to find it. Others know that something is "off," but not what that something is. Whatever may have brought you to the moment in time when you are looking at this, it is a unique opportunity to begin -- or continue -- to look at your life with another person essentially bearing witness to the process.

Good therapy is about more than just what’s wrong with you. We grow when we see our problems as essential information in the lifelong process of developing a whole, authentic self. You’re smart and creative. Other people rely on you, but there is more to life than problems and solutions. Even if you are “just fine” by anyone else’s standard, you may be looking to grow from therapy in order to have more meaningful relationships, spark creativity, gain self understanding, or develop spiritual insight.

Maybe you don't feel like yourself any more ... or you're not yet the person you would like to become. Something is in the way, and you need to figure it out. You would like to be at peace with yourself and others, and you would like to be happy. I believe these things are possible for you and that you came here today as a first step.

Imagine feeling less shame and more connected to those around you. Imagine having more space from your inner critic/judge while having more patience and compassion for yourself and others. Imagine moving from “not good enough” to feeling more "whole". Feeling less confused and more confident and clear about yourself and important life goals/decisions. Imagine unburdening from past traumas that still negatively impact your life and present relationships, shifting from helplessness to empowerment and healing from painful past hurts and moving forward with forgiveness, love, and safety.
