Oscar Health Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Therapy will be a space that is entirely yours. It's common to feel frustrated with our loved ones for not really hearing us. We're often given solutions to problems, instead of the space to explore what we're going through. There may even be feelings of burdening others when seeking out extra support or difficulty expressing exactly how you feel. Our work will center around deepening your understanding of yourself in a space that feels warm, safe, and judgment free.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, and with individuals of all ages who struggle with issues and challenges to living an authentic and fulfilling life. Whether it be questions around sexuality, gender identity, feelings of depression, sadness, or suicidal ideation we can explore and discuss all these topics and more. Together we can identify the barriers that exist and collaborate to find ways to overcome them to reach a more satisfying state of being.

Hello, my name is Dr. Vanessa Smith. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with nearly 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting issues, and depression. I typically work with children, teens, adults, and families.

If you are looking to give yourself grace, then you have found the right place! Together we'll explore what your issues, needs, and goals are and how to go about achieving them. Through no-nonsense warmth and humor, I'll assist you in identifying and confronting your bugaboos serving as a guide who accompanies and bears witness to your journey of re-discovery and reclamation. "Homework" runs the gamut and often includes journaling, artwork/crafting, bibliotherapy, practicing a new protocol, or just saying "no" without further elaboration.

My work exists at an intersection between East and West—Like my clients, who are often at their own intersections of past, present, and future,  I embrace integrating different treatment modalities that make sense for the individual— Even if it’s trauma that brings you to therapy, we don’t need to pathologize your suffering to find ways to heal. I consider myself part of a new generation of therapists providing a balance between holding that therapeutic space so that we feel seen, heard, and reminded that we aren’t alone, as well as providing feedback, processing, and developing skills needed to cope outside of sessions.

Everyone deserves mental health care and mental wellness is just as important as physical wellness. We often tend to forget this. As someone who grew up in an environment that did not particularly emphasize mental health, it is my mission to end the stigma that inhibits others in their ability to reach out for help. If you are here searching for the right fit, you’ve made a very big first step. Feel free to reach out for a 15 minute call/initial consultation. I offer telehealth making it easy for clients to access services and I see a wide range of clients for various issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc.

We serve adults, adolescents, children and families in New York and New Hampshire. PFCS helps individuals recognize and understand the root of their issues, and help them make quality decisions.

I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, issues related to drugs or alcohol, and those recovering and healing from trauma. I have supported individuals in exploring their gender and sexuality and embrace non-binary, trans, and queer identities. I also specialize in perinatal, postpartum, and parental mental health. Many of my clients are mental health care providers themselves, who need clinical supervision or emotional support. My approach supports exploration of both the roots of emotions, behaviors, and patterns, while also talking about the here and now.

I am a first-generation Muslim Arab American, born and raised in NYC. In my early years and adulthood, accessing resources and services that felt inclusive and culturally sensitive was challenging. My own journey in healing has sparked a desire to provide culturally sensitive care to people from all walks of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of experience working with a culturally diverse urban population of adults in NYC dealing with various issues such as grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, conflict resolution, stress management, self-esteem and adjustment issues.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with life stressors, suffering from depression, anxiety, or needing help setting career or personal goals? Are you ready to acquire the tools to help you make positive changes in your life? Well, I can help! I am drawn to the interventions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and the strength-based perspective. I strongly believe thoughts affect feelings and feelings lead to the type of actions we may take in life. I would like to partner with you on your wellness journey to uncover your 8 Dimensions of Wellness using CBT, MI, and the Strength-Based.

Human beings are often walking the fine line between trying to do the best they can and recognizing they might need or want to do better - choosing to do the work to explore the latter path is an act of strength and bravery. In therapy, we will work together to develop a trusting and caring relationship to help you navigate this path. We will collaborate in identifying and applying your strengths and values to support you in working through your concerns and moving toward living as your most grounded and authentic self. I have experience working with both teens and adults and welcome both to my practice.

Brynley believes the most important role of a therapist is as facilitator. In every interaction, Brynley is most concerned with creating a safe space that allows new insights to naturally arise for her clients. She believes the relationship between therapist and client is the most important ingredient in a successful treatment. Above all else, Brynley prioritizes connection, curiosity, communication, and empathy.

Do you find yourself feeling confused, lost, or misunderstood in a world where the only constant is change? Are you having trouble opening up to the people around you out of fear of judgment? Asking for help can be difficult, but therapy can serve as the first step toward taking back your autonomy. Sometimes, to get what we need, we rely on the skills that have, out of habit, come to be like second nature. Our ability to get what we need does not always equate to using healthy mechanisms to do so. Together we can identify different aspects of your identity in order to replace any negative coping strategies.

Everyone struggles through life but sometimes it can become too overwhelming and we need some help to get through it. Healing is what therapy is all about.

I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, based on treating each client as an individual with specific needs and empowering clients through education and self-discovery. My approach is non-judgemental, culturally competent, strength based and I empower you to discover your own solutions by utilizing evidenced based approaches. My specializations include working with clients who suffer from issues related to self-esteem/self-worth, relationship conflict, racial adversities, microaggressions within the workplace, maternal issues and adjustment disorders.
