Oscar Health Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Hi, and welcome to my page! As a licensed mental health professional, I have extensive experience in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. I am passionate about working closely with clients by providing them with a multi-faceted method of care including: cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and existential treatment approaches. I believe that mental well-being is improved through creating a safe, judgment-free space to express concerns, develop coping skills, and explore thoughts and feelings that contribute to our moods. I'm here to provide that space and help you navigate this explorative journey!

I consider myself to be of Afro-Caribbean descent I attended undergraduate school at Saint John’s University and graduated in May of 2000. I remained at Saint John’s University for my graduate studies and graduated in January 2004 with a Master’s in Education and again in August 2008 with a Masters Degree in Social Work. I went into this field because I wanted to give others what I did not have growing up, validation a voice and to be heard.

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.

I believe in a collaborative approach between client and therapist. Together we can explore your strengths and challenges to identify meaningful goals and work towards improvement. You are an expert on yourself and your needs. I am here to listen, support you and give you tools to heal past traumas, strengthen interpersonal relationships and build resilience. As we explore your history and your aspirations, I will guide, teach and support you. We will examine patterns that no longer serve you so you can build a healthy relationship with yourself and with others.

I provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families who are recovering from traumatic experiences, and to those who need a supportive and compassionate space to explore their feelings and find meaning in their experiences.

If you have been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, burned out or misunderstood and would like to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment I would love to be there for you to help you navigate, heal and grow. Stress can come out of nowhere. If you are suddenly feeling it's hard to cope with too many changes and challenges or you've been wanting some support but you are worrying about burdening your loved ones, seeking therapy is one of the best ways to work things through.

I have 10 years working in the mental health field and have worked with a wide range of populations.

Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience. I work with adults, adolescents, children, families, and couples. I prefer to use an eclectic approach tailored to the unique needs of each client. I have been trained in a variety of modalities, so I can be flexible and use what works best for each individual. I pride myself on providing a warm and compassionate setting where my clients can feel comfortable and welcome. I respect each individual's strengths, beliefs, and support systems, drawing from these to help the client achieve their goals.

Welcome! My name is Margaret Ngunang and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I typically work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples and families on issues such as anxiety, coping skills, depression, grief, life transitions, and family conflict, amongst others. I utilize several modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-based, amongst others. In sessions, patients set their goals on what they are interested in working on in the short term and long term through our exploration of their issues/challenges.

I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, career stress and life transitions, self-esteem and body image, sexuality and gender identity, and relationship and interpersonal issues. I will support you in challenging the thoughts and beliefs that aren’t serving you anymore and creating more space for kindness and change within yourself. We will work together to build all the skills you need to become a secure, confident, and empowered person who feels ready to face all that life has to offer.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) and Latinx LCSW, who prioritizes providing a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for all. I work with diverse clients in reducing and managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD – helping them to create healthy boundaries, strategize ways to approach difficult familial issues, processing loss, and other components that impact our daily lives such as race and cultural identity, work stress, career transitions, and burnout. My goal is to help each client to achieve a better understanding of who they are and how they perceive themselves in the world.

Sometimes our emotions can feel overwhelming and interfere with accomplishing our goals. Variations in our emotions are natural and while we cannot always eliminate the triggering situation or feeling, we can work together in a solution-focused approach to help you adapt to your internal experiences while identifying meaningful personal goals to guide our work together.

Are you overwhelmed with work or school, at home or in your relationships? Are you ready to start living a happier healthier and more fulfilling life?

I enjoy working with a large spectrum of clients. From the intellectual client to the client who is emotionally aware, to the client who may have once been resistant to seeking treatment but is willing to explore it now. I have successfully worked with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and relationship issues. Motivation to succeed and interest in change is my ideally compatible client.

I am an honest "down to earth" Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist with a passion for empowering my clients to find their inner strengths, and motivate them to make substantial long term changes in their lives. I'm a graduate of SUNY at Stony Brook Social Work Program and have taken courses at Ackerman Institute for the Family; as well as other training programs to enhance my clinical skills, in order to be of better service to my clients. Life is a learning experience for everyone; Psychotherapist included.

Congratulations! It takes courage in order to take the first steps towards living a healthier fulfilling life. Just by scrolling therapist profiles it shows your motivation for something different. I have seen firsthand how shifting your thoughts can change your life. I use cognitive behavioral therapy in combinations with other treatment modalities to help people facilitate change to be able to live their best lives. I have over 20 years experience in both inpatient, outpatient care and working with a diverse group of people.
