Addiction Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I am experienced in working with the challenges of life: anxiety, depression, addiction, attachment, relationships, life changes and work.
Many people begin therapeutic work with me because they are ready to make a change but do not know how or where to begin. Sometimes work stress, life changes, relationships and family problems can become stressful or hard to manage. This can lead to depression, anxiety, or unhealthy ways of coping. I will help you develop your own insight and understanding as we establish new skills and strategies for sustaining change. I will listen attentively and respond fully. My style in therapy is active, calm, and non-judgmental; I work to create a confidential space to explore the issues and challenges that are most important to you.

I've worked in a variety of aspects of the field including addiction, prison re-entry, domestic violence, mental health, and crisis intervention.
Hi, my name is Skye, I'm an LCSW practicing in New York and I've been in the field for around 6 years collectively. I believe that therapy is a helpful tool for many, but beginning the search for a therapist takes effort and strength. When it comes to my work with clients, my approach is largely intuitive and collaborative. I like to leave space for both joy and difficult emotions. The human experience can be extremely tough to navigate, and showing up authentically to support this process as therapist is important to me. I'm eager to learn about you and integrate approaches and evidenced-based tools that might fit your needs best.

I am a licensed psychologist in California and New York, and able to see clients in both states. I work with adults from a wide variety of backgrounds who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, trauma, loss, work and school stress, and difficult life transitions.

If you’re ready to take the steps to heal from anxiety, addiction(s) or work through a major life transition and don’t want to do it alone, I can help you.
Do you suffer from runaway anxiety and stress? Perhaps you feel too "on edge" or irritable and physically tense? If so, you also probably don't sleep well at night. Maybe in order to function, you've also developed an unhelpful relationship with alcohol, weed, or another substance and would like to learn either to abstain or to enjoy your drug(s) of choice in a measured and less harmful manner? Maybe you're struggling with a major life transition, such as starting a new career, a serious medical diagnosis, a divorce or the death of a loved one? Life can be wildly unfair, and sometimes the piling on of stressors can be overwhelming.

Sometimes life can feel so overwhelming that it seems the only thing we can do is numb out, shut down, give into addiction, dissociation, or other forms of self-injury. One way out of this is to build our capacity to tolerate feeling. Navigating these stormy seas within ourselves can feel impossible to do on ones own. We're not meant to do this alone. Your unique experiences deserve to fall upon the ears of an empathetic and attuned listener who can help you find your bearings and learn to rework the damage that has been endured in order to heal wounds and grow new psychic skin. We can learn to survive what has seemed unsurvivable.

I have experience providing individual and group therapy to clients with a wide range of presenting problems, including mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use, and histories of trauma.
Life constantly presents us with challenges, choices, and surprises. Meeting life's challenges alone can lead to loneliness, isolation and depression. No one should have to meet their emotional pain alone. Using compassion and acceptance, I work with my clients to foster deeper connections to their intuitive selves, and more authentic relationships. My goal is for you to feel empowered to take values based actions and to develop closeness with yourself and others.

I am licensed in the states of New York and Georgia and see individuals as well as couples in my practice. In my work with individuals, I specialize in the areas of addiction, grief, and trauma. We’ll approach these topics with curiosity and compassion and go at a pace that works for you.
