Elders (65+) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Life changed overnight. We are going through losses - the end of a relationship, death of a loved one, divorce, job change, financial change, retirement, having to stop doing the things we love to do. We worry about the health and well being of ourselves and our loved ones. You might be a young adult worried about your future or how to live with your parents again after moving back home, or a parent dealing with the challenges of living full time with your partner and children, or a senior worried that you will never again be able to be a part of greater society. Whatever your place in life I can work with you.

I am an empathetic therapist who views each person through his/her own unique lens, which allows me a better understanding of what you feel. This belief has allowed me to serve a diverse population which includes adults, adolescents, gay, lesbian, and seniors . The goal is to help you ultimately achieve a more rewarding, peaceful, and meaningful life.

Hi! I'm Charlene, and I'll keep this nice and short for you since I also know what it's like to be scrolling through psychtoday on the hunt for a new therapist but overwhelmed by your options. In not so many words, I'm a French-Moroccan mental health limited permit counselor specialized in LGB+ and TGNC health and wellness. I am also trained and experienced in Harm Reduction Psychotherapy, and utilize a person-centered approach to not only help you reach your goals, but also thrive.

I provide therapy to individual adults, couples and families. Individual therapy may focus on depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, work, grief, aging, caregiving, and illness. Diverse clientele include LGBTQ+, POC, immigrants and seniors . My practice specialties are couples therapy (premarital concerns, divorce, parenting, emotional and sexual intimacy, cultural differences, finances, family of origin conflicts, communication strategies) and adult family therapy (adult children, siblings and parents in long-standing or current conflict, multigenerational tension, family business, divorce, or trauma history).

Life changes can be painful.Through exploration of feelings, symptoms and behavior, I help patients to gain insight into the root of their problems, then we set realistic goals. My clinical practice includes cognitive behavior, insight oriented, reality oriented therapy, family and marriage counseling. I also have special certification in treating anxiety and eating disorders. My experience has also helped me to realize that the number of patients with age-related cognitive, mood and memory problems is also growing and many of them remain under-diagnosed and under-treated. Integrating memory-enhancing strategies and behavioral modifications into individual therapy for seniors leads to tangible results.

Through various experiences working with teens, adults, and seniors I was able to utilize integrative practice methods, including spirituality, CBT, and life experience to best help another individual redevelop his/her idea of life's journey.

I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist for over fifteen years now. I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist providing individual therapy to seniors , adults, adolescents and children. I specialize in treating clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and phobias. I believe in working together with my clients in helping them to believe in themselves and believe in their abilities to reach their goals. I have worked on different treatment approaches depending on my clients needs. One of my treatment approaches is in the use of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Cheryl uses various modalities for short term therapy including: CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy. She also utilizes psychodynamic approaches to help individuals understand how past and current situations may be connected, in order to help them make meaningful changes, to even long term patterns.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth (phone, video) therapy in Massachusetts and New York. I work with young adults (18-30), couples, families, and older adults (65+) for challenges related to mood (depression and anxiety), relationship and identity changes, and challenges stemming from neurological conditions such as concussion, traumatic brain injuries, and stroke. I am also a researcher within the Harvard Medical School system, and started my private practice to more flexibly deliver evidence-based approaches and share the latest science on what can help live well and navigate stressors effectively.

I have been in the field for 10 years working with children, teens, adults and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, relationship/family conflict, divorce and domestic violence. I view each individual or family as unique and approach therapy in the same way, meeting them where they are at. Therapy can be uncomfortable and so I try to structure each session as a casual conversation to help facilitate a safe space where change and vulnerability are welcome.

Welcome potential clients! I offer individual Christian counseling to Adults (21-65) dealing with anxiety/depression, interpersonal conflict, a desire to improve communication skills, poor self-image, and infidelity/divorce. I believe that when we are able to successfully lean in and finally face our painful experiences without denial, avoidance or minimizing the harm we have endured, we learn what we do have control over, how to make healthy choices that honor God and ourselves, nurture the relationships we want to preserve, and move forward with an improved sense of confidence and well-being.

It’s never too early or late to make a change in your life. Anyone can get stuck at any age and different points, because life can be filled with all types of stressors: relationships, school, work, loss, and maybe unknown. If you match with the right therapist, change can happen, because it happened to me. I changed careers in my 40’s and I've never been happier since working with clients of all ages- young kids- adolescents -late adulthood. People aren’t cookie cutter and therapy shouldn’t be either.

I have been a licensed clinical psychotherapist since 1993. I've worked for Catholic Charities and the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services and started private practice in 2013. I emphasize psychodynamic psychotherapy (I studied at the Psychoanalytic Institute of California), but shape my approach to each individual client and his or her needs and goals. My work has centered on mature adults with mental, emotional or physical disorders, but I have treated clients of all ages and diagnoses. I develop an empathic connection with each client, bringing about a firm relationship and lasting change.

Finding the right therapist can be frustrating and challenging! Hopefully I can make your search a little easier. I provide a non-judgmental, trusting environment necessary to explore vulnerabilities and foster healing. I have success working with clients of various ages from various backgrounds. I’ve received advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am also well-versed in cognitive, mindfulness, and psychodynamic methods. This knowledge allows me to use an eclectic style of treatment in which I combine techniques from different therapeutic modalities to help my clients.

Adults and Couples are my specialties! I have 20 years of psychotherapy experience.
