Eating Disorders Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Therapy is a secure and private place for you to actively learn new ways of coping. I believe the most compassionate approach to therapy is to non-judgmentally teach concrete skills that have been shown by research to work. Whether you're under a lot of stress, feeling anxious / depressed, or are struggling with accepting your body, we can work together to develop and execute a plan. Your treatment will be results-oriented. Together, we will monitor your wellbeing over time and make adjustments as necessary to ensure that we are making progress.

Whether you are struggling to adjust to changing circumstances, feeling stuck in your current life stage, or feeling alone and overwhelmed by your thoughts, I am here for you. I create a warm and trusting environment to help you better understand your emotions. Our sessions will be collaborative and non-judgmental, and will open up new avenues of self-exploration to enable you to examine your choices.

Are you living the way you were intended to? Or are there seen and unseen barriers blocking your full engagement in life?  Vulnerability to pain and struggle is inherent when we live authentically. It’s our entryway into full human citizenship. And in the acceptance of this struggle lies the birthplace of compassion, connection, authenticity, and joy.  In the space we share together, I want to join you in the quiet conversation you have at your core. A step at a time, we can leave behind the stories you inherited, and perhaps became complicit in, and claim more freedom for your truest self.

My approach to therapy includes collaborating with you in figuring out how to process your own experiences, and how to move forward towards the life you want. I will create a warm, validating atmosphere where you can be your authentic self, expressing fears and insecurities, needs and aspirations. My hope is to help you build upon your strengths, gain insight into patterns of behavior you would like to change, and enhance your self-understanding while alleviating your suffering.

Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck? When we undergo a rupture in our lives we develop ways to survive in order to create feelings of safety. The coping mechanisms we develop can feel painful manifesting as deep rooted shame, addictions, a loud inner critic, relationship issues, perfectionism, eating disorders , lack of direction and feelings of sadness or fear to name a few. My goal is to guide you towards uncovering your authenticity and give space to parts of you that are longing to be liberated. I support you in developing new ways address to root issues in order to create feelings of agency and emotional harmony in your life.

Many people of all cultures are encouraged to be controlling or perfectionistic in all areas of their lives. Over time, this can be a draining emotional experience. If you are someone struggling to break out of labels that no longer fit and want to live more authentically, let’s work through that struggle together. Through compassionate listening and art-making, I will be a therapist who allows you to develop your unique identity in a safe and affirming virtual or in-person space. I believe that therapy should be an opportunity where you can openly experiment with how you wish to show up in the world.

My aim is to create a warm and compassionate space to meet you where you are and ultimately lead you to the path of healing and self exploration. In our work together, not only will we challenge the obstacles in your life, but also will work to highlight and expand on your already existing strengths. Whether you are looking to challenge behaviors that no longer serve you, poor self image, or begin working through past traumas, we will work together collaboratively to help you grow. I firmly believe that you are the author in your story and want to honor and explore your values, needs and wants in the therapeutic environment.

I pursued a career in psychotherapy due to my interest in how psychology and gaining perspective can improve one's quality of life. Therapy won't make complex realities disappear, whereas you integrate your experiences to increase your comfort of living with yourself in the present. We enter an oasis from outside pressures to relax in authenticity. With freed-up headspace, you have room to understand your life in context, experiment with new ways of being, and increase creative flow to generate a brighter future.

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.

It's completely understandable that seeking help from a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming. However, it's important to remember that you are here for a reason - you are looking for support in overcoming challenges in your life, and that is a courageous step. You deserve to receive help, support, and guidance in overcoming these difficulties, and as a therapist, I am here to provide that for you. I understand that each individual has unique experiences and concerns, and I approach therapy with a non-judgmental and warm attitude.
