Spirituality Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Image a place you can finally take a break from daily hassles, turn off your inner judgmental voices, and listen to your body and intuition. Together, we engage in creativity and imagination, work on your emotions, explore your issues ( spirituality , culture, family & relationship, stage of life), gather insights, and regain life control. Traditional therapy tends to focus on the past and problems (trauma and difficult memories). In my approach, we travel back to the past to locate the issue together. However, the focus is to move you toward living in the present and empowering you to create your ideal future.

Do you struggle with self-love and self-acceptance? Do thoughts of unworthiness or inadequacy plague your mind? Do you feel like you are not enough? These inner struggles can be debilitating and depressing. But haven’t you suffered long enough? There is a way to wake up from the trance of not-enough-ness and recognize your inherent self-worth. If you are reading this you’ve come to the right place. Together we can identify and work through your negative and limiting beliefs.

I'm an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor, with 2 years training, 1 year client service, at the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training, NYC, a tenured Professor of Philosophy (CUNY), a Meditation and Yoga Instructor, and 4th-degree blackbelt. I've taught philosophy, meditation, and yoga, on campus and in the community, for about 20 years, seen clients as a Philosophical Practitioner, a Gestalt Psychotherapist (under supervision), and a Yoga Therapist. I've conducted many Socratic Dialogues, Philosophy Cafes, Meditation groups and series, and Yoga classes and workshops, in a wide variety of venues, to thousands of clients and students.

I believe that at their very core, human beings desire to live meaningful, connected lives. Using a cognitive, as well as existential and spiritual approach, I will help you engage your suffering in a fresh way so you can live a more present, contented existence. I am a mindfulness-based, existential psychotherapist located in Brooklyn, New York. My ideal client is someone who is interested in an alternative to Western psychology and has some interest or experience in Eastern thought or spirituality . Anyone who has found usefulness in psychedelics in the past could also be a good fit.

I am a culturally competent, trauma-informed psychotherapist who believes in a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples, and polyamorous, nonmonogamous, multi-partner relationships using a holistic approach to psychological and emotional wellness.

I believe there is hope. I am passionate about creating an environment where healing, self-discovery and restoration can take place. I work with individuals who need a time of care, growth and healing. I am skilled and sensitive in my work with individuals who are struggling with past or recent abuse and or trauma.

Choosing a therapist is a compelling process. There is always a certain amount of trust that we must tap into in order to try something new. Sometimes clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adapting to new circumstances, or seeking to heal pain. Other times, clients are looking to connect with themselves more, explore their creativity, and feel supported by a therapist who is comfortable holding space for their spirituality and expansion of consciousness. In our therapeutic alliance we will be walking together, as you continue to discover and align with your truth.

I'm not here to help you become "normal" (whatever that is) because you can and should aim higher than that. I am here to help you learn about --and become-- your truest self, in all your idiosyncratic, beautiful, infuriating complexity. I'll work collaboratively with you --individually, in an interpersonal process group, or both-- to help you move from Point A (a place of stuckness, disengagement, indecision, of somehow managing to feel overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the exact. same. time.) to Point B (land of decisiveness, clarity, awareness of who you are and what you want to spend your energy creating in the world). It's amazing how quickly being honest with yourself, true to yourself, clears up anxiety, depression and brain fog. Unsurprisingly, as with most big undertakings, this kind of work can be rough going at times. But if you're anything like most of the folks I see --smart, creative, entrepreneurial, growth-oriented people who have done a lot of personal work already-- you are, by this point, more than ready to bring in the big guns.

In an age of mass social media. In a time that is considered the most socially connected. Research shows that people actually feel more lonely than ever, disconnected and lost. This affects our mental health and the way we see the world and ourselves. I believe people can overcome these obstacles, of not only loneliness and depression but many different stressors in their lives. You do not have to be alone. Therapy is a great way to work on you and becoming the best version of yourself. I would love to help you start that journey and walk through it with you.

As a firm believer in a mind-body-spirit approach to psychological health, I incorporate a long history of multi-disciplinary spiritual practice and investigation with my graduate training in relationship / family therapy into a holistic perspective that utilizes transitions and crises as opportunities to deepen insight and life skills that better navigate and manage them. In terms of couples work, I help with communications, developing conflict resolution strategies, healing from infidelities, addiction/codependency, and other sexual issues by examining your familial/relational histories and teaching a variety of guideposts to help you be your best selves, together and individually.

I provide a warm and safe environment where the most troubling issues can be discussed with ease and comfort & difficult relationships can be examined without anger and hurt. I believe the goal of therapy is to help you grow and realize your full potential, build new skill-sets, reconnect to your inner strength and find inner calm and tranquility. Together help you find peace, joy and happiness in daily life. We will work together with compassion and collaboration to support your well-being. My approach is influenced by eastern and western philosophies, non-dualism, Buddhism, Zen and spirituality .

I consider being a therapist a great privilege and honor. Working through pain and difficulty is never easy, and I have a high respect for those who have decided to courageously face life's challenges. I truly believe that people have a unique set of strengths and gifts inherent within them. Sometimes, they can be hard to see because of past experiences or a present issue. My goal is to walk alongside and support you, offering a safe place to heal, grow, and discover your true center. I look forward to learning with you!

I believe we cannot control what happens to us. However, we can choose to change things that prevent us from being the people we want to be. I am honored to support you and help you navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, chronic illness, problems with self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

I provide Autism and/or ADHD (qualitative) evaluations and Psychotherapy for individuals, families and couples. My approach when collaborating with a patient providing therapy is to focus on their history, culture, identity and/or spirituality . I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings, determine solutions and create a sense of balance in your life while embracing your own beliefs. I provide therapy remotely and use various modalities (CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic and EMDR). In addition, I do Autism Evaluations and ADHD Evaluations.

I specialize in working with adults whose stress affects their bodies and whose bodies stress them out. Maybe you've experienced an injury, illness, or other physical disruption - and now several areas of your life have become more difficult. Stress may or may not have created these unwelcome changes, but it sure will make things worse.

Internally, we already have everything we need. So, why don't we feel it? Meeting at the intersection of mind, body, and spirituality , we'll learn to accept all of the interdependent dimensions of our lives. By leaving nothing out, we are free to begin the natural process of bringing our fragmented lives back into their ordinary state of harmony.

If you have been feeling alone or stuck or in pain, I’m so glad you’re here. If you are ready to explore the cornerstones of existence (love/family/work/sex/ spirituality ) with the goal of working on healthier relationships both to oneself and with others, you are in the right place. I utilize evidence-based techniques, particularly somatic and mindfulness-based interventions, on a foundation of attachment-oriented psychodynamic theory to curate a therapeutic experience worthy of your unique story. My focus is on romantic relationships, trauma and loss, family conflict, social anxiety, body image, depression, and career stress.

Feeling trapped, unable to express yourself, powerless to control your own emotions? Are you alone or isolated? I can help you to break free from the constraints of anxiety and depression and take control of your own life’s course. Therapy will help you to learn about how your past impacts your experience of the present.

Misperceptions of others and ourselves cause much of the psychological pressures we face. I have 20+ years of experience working with various people with a multitude of afflictions, in both clinical and non-clinical settings. I have worked with a range of people from highly successful professionals to people who struggle in every sphere of their existence. I always work with the needs and potential of each individual foremost in my mind. All of my work is i informed with spirituality , empathy, co-creation, forgiveness, and self acceptance.

As you embark on the courageous path of self-discovery and healing, connecting with a caring, collaborative, skillful therapist is a crucial first step. With years of experience, I offer a warm, reflective, and compassionate safe space that will enable you gain clarity, a greater sense of freedom and authenticity by exploring your unconscious and limited thought patterns/beliefs and experientially processing your unresolved past traumas.
