Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I use a client-centered approach that integrates different evidence-based practices, including positive psychology, somatic work, mindful self-compassion, and CBT.
Are you ready to feel empowered in dealing with your anxiety or OCD? Would you like to experience calm and peace of mind on a daily basis? Have you tried many different approaches (including ERP) without success? Would you like a healing approach that is as kind and gentle as you are? I specialize in treating people with OCD who have not responded well to traditional treatments like ERP and need a gentler, more holistic and trauma-informed approach to healing. I also specialize in helping people manage anxiety better, whether it is the normal anxiety of life or is another anxiety-based disorder.

As an eclectic counselor, I utilize multiple evidence-based counseling theories such as CBT, REBT, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, Positive Psychology and Psychodynamic.
Numerous factors influenced my decision to pursue counseling, with the primary motivation being my desire to assist individuals in improving their quality of life. At the core of my approach as a clinician is a firm conviction in the importance of fostering a secure and trusting therapeutic connection. It's vital for me, as your counselor, to ensure a safe environment where clients (such as yourself!) can receive support characterized by sincerity and empathy. In collaboration, we will aim for positive changes in your life, harness your strengths, achieve your therapeutic objectives, and alleviate your discomfort.

I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy ( CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Using a non-judgmental, warm, and active approach, I work to create a space in which you feel understood and comfortable being honest. In collaboration with you and/or your child, my aim is to identify patterns that no longer serve you, and develop strategies that will allow you to develop mastery and achieve meaningful change.

I use an integrative approach, providing psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and supportive therapy, and believe understanding how the past impacts your current situation can lead to lasting change.
Are you feeling upset, overwhelmed or lacking confidence due to transitions in your life? Adapting to a change, even if it is wanted and expected, can be challenging. Life changes can involve losses such as the end of a relationship, a death or job reversal; but positive changes, like leaving for college, entering the work force, becoming a new parent and relocating can also be stressful and scary. People often fear and avoid change causing them to feel stuck and leading to missed opportunities.

My therapeutic process is integrative, combining psychodynamic work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT).
Growing up in an Indo-Caribbean family, I witnessed firsthand the struggles of a community that had lack of access to mental health education and resources to help understand and process these issues. This deeply influenced my decision to pursue a career in mental health. Since 2011, I have mostly worked in a psychiatric hospital setting, where I dealt with psychosis and crisis interventions, and outpatient care. The pandemic brought significant changes, and I transitioned to private practice.

I bring a behavioral foundation to the work (think ACT, CBT, DBT), but I’m not rigid.
Let’s be real - therapy should actually help. Not just feel nice (though that’s good too). You’re probably here because something isn’t working: maybe you’re stuck in your head, burned out, anxious, grieving, or just generally over it. You want things to get better, and I want that too.
My style is active, collaborative, and goal-oriented. We’ll figure out what matters to you, what’s getting in the way, and what actually helps. I don’t just nod and ask how you feel about that (unless that’s useful). But if you want to feel seen, supported, and gently pushed, we’ll probably work well together.
