Career Counseling Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

You are emotionally intelligent and self-aware. Yet, you're confused and frustrated as to why the same personal and professional barriers keep showing up. You know you need to do something different, you WANT to change course, however the thought of starting over again is exhausting. The relentless cycle continues and breaking free seems impossible. It's easy to feel defeated when you want change so badly but don't know where to start. You are not alone. Aimee Barr & Associates uses an interactive and holistic approach to understand your full psychological journey. You are unique, your treatment should be too.

You may have found yourself here because something isn’t working anymore. Whether in your relationship, your job , or negative thoughts that you can’t seem to redirect, it may feel like your typical coping skills or support systems aren’t enough. That’s ok. Take a breath and know that untangling this right now is not something you have to do alone. In my practice, I work with adults navigating interpersonal relationships, career stress, self-esteem and personal growths. I have experience with eating disorders, substance abuse, and trauma, and a special interest in working with the unique struggles of creative and performing artists.

While trained in multiple therapy modes, I focus on collaborative, interactive cognitive work to start and retain a deep change from negative thinking to clarity. What is in need of change, and why? What are steps that can create energy, courage, growth- without disruption? What is the right pace of change and are we on target? I see therapy as emotional "detective work" whose aim is freedom and satisfaction. Discovering possibilities and practicing changes, step by step, leads on to emotional recovery- and freedom, whether from anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, low self-esteem, addiction, or underemployment.

Psychotherapy is fundamentally about discovering a deeper sense of personal meaning, greater self-understanding, and self-acceptance. It offers the possibility of coming into contact with a more enlivened state of being. Psychotherapy can help us move through life with a greater degree of freedom and flexibility, feeling more connected to ourselves and others along the way. My work is shaped by psychodynamic, existential, and holistic approaches.
