Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

As an experienced therapist I believe that everyone owes to him/herself to live a satisfying life. If you do not like the place you are in today - do something not to be there. As Einstein said, "Nothing happens until something moves". Choosing therapy is definitely the right move for you. It is not a sign of weakness but rather of your determination. Whatever problem you are facing today: anxiety, depression, disturbing relationship, or work related stress - I am here to help you facilitate changes that will allow you to reach your goals.
