Self Esteem Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Welcome! As a Black, queer, first generation American, Trinidadian, and cis-gender woman, my clients are primarily BIPOC folx who experience mental health and relational challenges as a result of the history of colonialism, slavery, sexism, White supremacy, and xenophobia that has led to a world of inequity and the fear of "other." I partner with those striving to combat the negative impact of systems of oppression (including trauma, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem) as we move toward radical acceptance of self, joy, ease, and healing.

Every life has a history of twist and turns, with episodes of successes, failures, challenges, decisions, changes and losses. We often inhabit patterns that once helped us to survive, yet now hinder us in recognizing or becoming who we truly are. These patterns can affect a variety of life issues, such as goal attainment, difficulties in relationships, and our ability to communicate, leaving us feeling frustrated, confused, or stuck.

I offer my clients a nonjudgmental space where they can explore their feelings, learn more about themselves, and continue to grow. Life can often be challenging, and I like to help others feel confident in their ability to get through those tough times. I have training in cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy. Every person is unique, and I collaborate with each client to develop a plan that is tailored to them.

My passion is to create a space where conversations about mental health feel as natural and open as they deserve to be. My journey in the mental health field began with a deep curiosity about human connection and a desire to understand the unique ways each of us experience and express our emotions.

Hello, I am Charity, a licensed psychotherapist. I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan who are seeking to improve their emotional regulation, address behavioral difficulties, resolve relationship challenges, and cope with life transitions.

My experience has involved working with diverse populations of young adults seeking support on a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, stress, improving self-esteem, and life transitions. Many of the issues I normally approach with clients involve stress arising from relationship conflicts, breakups, changes before/after graduation, new jobs, and managing anxious thoughts and low mood. Learn to develop firm boundaries, practice healthy coping skills, and challenge negative thinking patterns limiting your happiness. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed, but you don't have to struggle alone.

I believe it’s a privilege to be part of a process that helps clients identify strategies that can lead to a more fulfilling life and uncover a greater sense of freedom and agency. I believe that therapy must involve exploring and integrating clients’ cultural context and identities in understanding their lived experiences and addressing their concerns. I have extensive experience working collaboratively with clients of diverse backgrounds to identify goals of treatment and explore meaningful, culturally relevant, psychodynamic and other innovative evidence-based interventions.
