Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I create a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment where we can explore what’s happening in your life now to collaborate on what might be possible for you in the future. Then, we will partner to understand what burdens you’ve taken on from your past—burdens that may have limited your belief systems or distorted your experience—to blaze new pathways towards your release from pain and entry into freedom and joy. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. However, my approach is not a one size fits all formula. I tailor my work to the individual and their specific needs.

Matt has been conducting individual and group therapy since 2017. As a therapist, Matt utilizes psychodynamic, somatic, internal family systems , and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help clients develop insight, process trauma, and gain greater agency in their lives. He uses an individualized approach to treat anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship issues. Matt has significant experience working with adolescents, adults, LGBTQIA individuals, artists, and athletes, and has conducted group therapy for men and adolescent boys exploring issues related to masculinity.

If you find yourself struggling with difficult relationships, rollercoaster emotions, sense of self/identity, practicing self-love, or learning how to feel comfortable in your own body after trauma, I encourage you to reach out. My team helps people learn how to be present and learn skills to handle the curveballs that life throws. We will identify and build upon your strengths, developing tools to manage your thoughts and feelings so you can fully live your life authentically. Our clients are often individuals who have experienced trauma (physical, emotional, sexual, spiritual, racial, neglect).

While therapy can sometimes remind us of pain we may have tried hard to push away, my hope is to help you access your intrinsic joy, creativity and compassion so you can connect to yourself and others in a more fulfilling way. I treat individuals and couples using an attachment-based perspective and help clients explore how early trauma necessitated adaptive coping strategies that can get in their way later in life.

Whether you’re looking to make changes or work through existing challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. My role is to collaborate with you to help facilitate an even greater understanding and awareness of yourself. My therapy style is warm, supportive, interactive, and empowering. I specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety, conflicts within their relationships, depression, or simply want to change a pattern of behavior.

Are you carrying the weight of complex trauma, past childhood abuse, or narcissistic abuse? If you are, please know that you don't have to bear this burden alone. I understand the long-lasting effects that these forms of abuse can have on your life, and I want to help you heal. My name is Jessica, I am a therapist who holds a master's degree in counseling. I am EMDR trained, and I have five of experience working with trauma survivors. I am deeply committed to helping survivors of trauma find inner peace and reclaim their lives. I believe that the best way to heal from the past is through transformational trauma therapy.

Welcome! My virtual teletherapy space supports adults, teens, and families living in New York. I specialize in working with clients impacted by trauma and other adverse childhood experiences. As a trauma survivor myself, I have taken my own self-healing journey that has led to the development of my whole-person approach to health. I aim to provide my clients with tools that can support self-healing and building a more authentic relationship with the authentic self.

Whether you have experienced the agony of a significant Trauma or the hidden devastation of prolonged emotional trauma, these experiences can lead to fractures in a person's sense of self, adaptive capacity and inner cohesion, often resulting in anxiety, depression, somatic disorders, self-esteem difficulties and interpersonal struggles. Using a blend of different perspectives with empathy and understanding, I aim to foster a supportive therapeutic relationship and create a holding space to process painful experiences, deepen insight into thoughts and feelings, and build connections with the felt sense in the body.

My first priority is to listen deeply to my clients and become attuned to your unique story. In my work, I draw on body-oriented practices and somatics, Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My goal is to guide you through understanding the dynamics that are holding you back or causing suffering, and empower you to get closer to the truest expression of yourself. I will meet you where you are, with deep compassion, to help you heal and grow.

Have you struggled to make progress with talk therapy? Would you like to feel more in control of your emotions and behavior? I offer an integrative approach to adults that battle with emotional overwhelm, impulsive behavior, and mood instability. With the right support, these chaotic feelings can be untangled and we can land together in a place of clarity and ease. Whether these behaviors are showing up in personal relationships, at work, or are directed inward, I can help you work toward relief. My style is both gentle and direct and works to tailor a flow of therapy that suits your personal needs and goals.

Welcome! I am passionate about partnering with clients during times of transition or difficulty to find opportunities for growth. I have a special passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community, the kink community, and consensually non-monogamous and polyamorous community. I have experience working with a wide range of cultural, racial, economic/class and educational backgrounds. Curious by nature, I seek to listen to and fully understand you each step of the way, working toward greater self-acceptance and discovery, and more fulfilling intimacy with others.

I believe in everyone’s ability to heal and grow. With genuine care, authenticity, and deep respect, I accompany clients on their journey. We will explore the route of your struggles and uncover any blocks or adaptations that don't serve you today, which will allow you to experience and share more of your true SELF. I provide a safe, supportive environment to do deep work, grieve losses, heal traumas, anxieties, and depression, and develop a more secure relationship with yourself, others and the world. Together we will discover and hone your inner strengths, your ability to be present, and help you make the changes you desire!

For many people, psychotherapy can be a powerful instrument for growth. I create a safe, collaborative, trusting environment for you to explore and clarify how to make lasting, positive change in your life. It is my belief that therapy must be tailored to each person's unique needs, and I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual.

We offer creative therapy for creative people. Sometimes words are not enough, our staff will sometimes use verbal, music, visual art, poetry, and drama in our approach depending on your needs. We believe in attachment theory, family systems theory, and 12 step recovery. Our goal is to help you create a momentum of healing that inspires a sense of flow in your life. Therapy like our art, can help us gain insight, reduce anxiety, worry, fear and help us increase our consciousness and connection to our innermost self. No experience in the arts is necessary.

Have your previous attempts at therapy left you not quite satisfied? Did simply talking about your difficulties seem to lose its impact after a while? Or perhaps you feel like you stayed with a therapist for longer than you wished without much improvement? If you deeply desire personal growth and are motivated to dedicate energy towards achieving it, true lasting change is within reach. Jessica Healy, LMHC can assist you in learning about and shifting your inner world using mindfulness-based, experiential, and somatic techniques (including Internal Family Systems ).

By creating an open, non-judgmental space for self-reflection, I help individuals gain insight into the past and identify new ways of moving forward. Whether you're going through a major life transition, struggling with relationships, or feel that you are somehow holding yourself back, we'll work together to understand the conflicts underlying your unique story, and to implement significant, achievable change in your life.

Are you feeling hesitant, worried, shut down, or withdrawn? Or perhaps a little low, not quite yourself, & trying to figure out what to do? Are old patterns you've used to manage no longer working? Perhaps I can help. Using a combination of mindful awareness, somatic (body)/nervous system regulation work & Internal Family Systems /parts work, we can explore the different aspects of ourselves & start to move towards the changes we'd like to see. I offer in person services in Brooklyn, NY or worldwide via Zoom video. I offer a free brief phone or video consult to see if we're a good fit: feel free to book yours at www.maximeclarity.com
