Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in anxiety, anger management, ADHD, depression, marital issues, political anxiety, covid anxiety, and adjustment issues in teens, young adults and married couples. My experience also includes working with various DSM-V disorders in addition to managing school based issues. Many of my clients encounter frustration when their concerns impact their daily lives, and I take the time to listen closely to their needs, and empower them to successfully navigate their challenges.

I am specialized in psychotherapy for Children, Teenagers, Adults, Family, Couples and Groups. I got my Diploma as Master in Clinic Psychology with Honors thirty one years ago.

While I join most therapists in providing a safe, free flowing, and non-judgmental space to simply talk, I also collaborate with clients to develop more active sessions for lasting change in their lives. This includes goal setting, homework, exposure therapy, guided imagery, psychoeducation, mindfulness, and other evidence based practices. I specialize working with anxiety/panic attacks, depression, anger, shame, addiction, men’s issues, identity formation, and religious/existential crises. I also help with relationship conflict, including communication, infidelity, and anger/forgiveness.

Trained in CBT, prefer to use a rational living approach with behavior modification and assist the client. Use DBT, CBT, Behavioral approach in Psychotherapy to achieve practical results, measurable and beneficial to the client. Short term treatment focus on result oriented approach with focus on cognitive or insight or behavioral modification is my style.

As clinical therapist I bring over 25 years of experience working with children, families and adults. I am very passionate about helping people and believe in exploring every option for personal growth before using the standard alternatives. Throughout my years as a therapist I had the opportunity to work with people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientation in a variety of settings. I have provided clinical services in outpatient mental health facilities, foster care, home services, as well wide range of school settings throughout New York City.

I have served as clinical supervisor to many therapists. I have a superb track record of helping clients - individuals, families and couples - effect remarkable recovery and resume functioning.

Creating an emotionally safe environment for the client is crucial in fostering personal insight and change. I believe regardless of age, a humanistic approach and strong therapeutic alliance can help establish a connection with the client to allow growth and change. I have extensive experience treating children and adolescents. For 11 years, I traveled into elementary, middle, and high schools to provide individual and group therapy for students. I am comfortable and confident helping children and adolescents better understand and process their feelings, perceptions, and behaviors through the combined use of play-therapy, applied creative arts, and behavioral modification.

My therapeutic style emphasizes the importance of accepting each of my clients unique issues and needs. I strive to create a warm, safe, and collaborative atmosphere where my clients can share their emotions. I think we all have the capacity to learn and grow at all stages of life, and therapy can be a helpful growth tool. I also recognize the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients, and through this relationship, we work to help develop effective coping skills.

My lens in psychotherapy is informed by the principle of organicity; that every person has within them tremendous wisdom and the ability to heal. I view psychotherapy as a journey to assist the client in clearing the boundaries to their own unique healing path. I work with many different evidence based modalities including IFS, EMDR, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy which provide many different lenses and approaches to working with a variety of presenting problems. My primary focus is on Trauma, both upper case "T" and lower case "t" as well as addictions- with males from 12 to adulthood. Looking forward to crossing paths soon!

I have a personal mission to enhance the life and self-sufficiency of individuals and groups in need of support. I provide a creative approach to my therapeutic services in order to promote a healthy mind, body and soul within my clients. I take pride in celebrating the culturally diverse populations in which I service, in hopes of cultivating each persons individual journey towards wholeness.

There's really something to be said about the challenges of exploring, understanding and harnessing our very active internal lives in the attempt to make sense of it all, to feel safe in our day to day. I'm endeared to the process and feel that in order to heal we have to work with others, be it community, loved ones, or Psychologist, to gather the best parts of ourselves and turn the incredibly complicated, painful and fragile into things elegant, agile, and straight-forward. The therapeutic process as a living and breathing construction. To build and strengthen the scaffolding in order to find authenticity, uniqueness and courage

Hi, I'm Dr. Adam Weissman, Founder, Director, and Chief Psychologist at The Child & Family Institute (CFI), a highly specialized cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and integrative behavioral health center with 15 sites throughout the U.S. (including Westchester, Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, CT, NJ, FL, MI, and CA). Trained by some of the world's leading CBT experts at the University of Pennsylvania, Rutgers, the NYU Child Study Center, and Harvard Medical School, we specialize in state-of-the art, evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment for a wide range of anxiety, mood, attention, behavior, and habit disorders.

Through careful listening and an empathic, honest approach I can help you feel better about yourself and your life. You may feel stuck in a job or relationship. You may want more from life but not know how to get it. You may be struggling with with the difficulties of parenthood or marriage. I can help with artistic, creative, or intellectual struggles, body issues, sexual problems, substance issues, imbalances of life and work, impulse control, past trauma, or even just a general lack of inspiration or motivation in life.

Passionate about helping others, specialize working with clients struggling with life experiences that at times are overwhelming. I use an eclectic style of therapy that focuses on listening, developing concrete goals, exploring your past and developing motivation and self confidence. Many of my clients are young professionals and older folks who find it difficult to change. Many struggle with depression and anxiety and work to reduce negative and detrimental self destructive behaviors. I work to provide you with the support and guidance needed to become independent again and free of depression,anxiety and fear.

My client focus is working with those who hope to repair relationships past or present, have a desire to uncover past trauma and a curiosity or willingness to be open about life shaping experiences throughout their childhood and early adolescence. I aim to support clients who wish to bring their authentic self to the space, hone their inner strength, and wish to be a more confident version of themselves. Goals may include but are not limited to; cultivate strong and positive relationships, increase self-esteem and self-worth, find inner strength and power, as well as discover new life passions through the creative arts therapies.

As an active therapist, I help individuals, couples, families, and children identify and transform the story that has been governing their life. It is my belief, that with the right support everyone has the innate capability to show up and transform their life. Past or present circumstances may have created pain or a belief of powerlessness, but these circumstances do not define you. You can reclaim your power and sense of authorship over your own life. In the words of Marianne Wiliamson, " Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

Are you searching for a safe, transformative healing experience to reach your full potential as a human being? I specialize in empowering people of all backgrounds who have experienced trauma, depression, and/or anxiety to access their innate resilience and healing. Trauma can include any experience overwhelming to the nervous system. I work with my clients to create an environment built on trust, safety, compassion, and positive regard in order to develop the capacity to expand empathy, resilience, and self-confidence. Many clients find it helpful to anchor our work in the present moment using mindfulness breathing.
