Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I'm passionate about helping people achieve emotional well-being, personal growth, and positive change. I believe everyone has the potential for resilience and inner strength, and I want to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

You are unique. Using a client-centered approach, I work with your individual needs and focus for therapy. Sometimes a person may seek change in their lives or want to process their unresolved experiences and understand themselves better. Whether you are sad about the past or worried about the future, I am well versed in multiple therapeutic modalities to be able to help.

Now Accepting New Clients.... I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Recovery Coach. With over 15 years of experience, I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specializes in both substance and behavioral addiction, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, anger management, and trauma.

Are you struggling with disconnection, loneliness, depression or anxiety. 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. Do you feel anxiety that is keeping you from following your dreams and holding you back? You do not have to go through this struggle 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.

Hello! Thank you for your time and interest in my work! My name is Sam. I'm a first generation queer Asian American practicing as a licensed mental health counselor for 8 years. I could bore you with my educational and professional credentials, but I'd like to tell you more about me. Beyond the therapy room, I am someone who thinks deeply about my role in relationships and interpersonal dynamics. I'm also someone who dives into art projects and will likely have an unfinished project in a corner!

The nurturing environment of a therapeutic relationship can deepen your understanding of yourself and teach you new ways to handle life's difficulties. I strive to be compassionate, non-judgmental, genuine and down-to-earth, so you can feel safe and comfortable sharing your deepest feelings. I am a therapist who has the keen ability to help you achieve your desired goals.

For those of us who do not feel loved and appreciated by this world, it can be difficult to trust ourselves and to honor our worth. Maybe the intergenerational traumas and ongoing struggles of our cultures and communities lead us to disconnect from others or to feel dissociated from ourselves. Maybe we diminish our feelings or hide parts of ourselves as survival strategies. When tangible systemic change seems slow or even impossible, it can also feel like self-love and joy are forever out of our reach.

I believe in our capacity to challenge and navigate away from unhealthy patterns. I support my clients in cultivating awareness and guide them in the healing process by drawing on innate strengths and resilience. I encourage clients to think of human beings as organisms, of body and of mind, that live in relationship with others and with our environment. As such, growth is our natural state. We are meant to grow, to act fluidly and adapt creatively throughout our lives and we suffer when that process is blocked or interrupted. However, our suffering can provide an opportunity to grow in new and exciting ways.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I'm here to support you on your journey towards personal growth and well-being. With years of experience in the field, I utilize a compassionate and collaborative approach to help individuals navigate life's challenges. Through a processing-oriented framework, we explore the underlying factors driving behaviors and work together to integrate effective coping skills. My aim is to empower you to lead a more aligned and fulfilling life.I specialize in guiding individuals towards fostering positive self-talk and cultivating self-compassion.

I believe in a therapeutic partnership which allows for the client to guide treatment. I am trained in and employ several long-term clinical models as well as short-term evidence based practices which offer a variety of opportunities for clients to address all of their needs. My work is grounded in anti-racist and anti-oppressive trauma responsive practices which helps us get to the root of the individual's challenges and symptoms. My approach is supportive, encouraging, and thoughtful as I firmly believe this work is most effective when the individual feels empowered and centered.

People are searching to connect with themselves and others in ways that often feel unreachable. These difficulties can get expressed through repetitive, dissatisfying attachments and frustrating patterns of connectedness. Initimacy while longed for, seems illusive. In my 30 years of working with addictive and attachment related issues, I have come to understand how one's sense of aloneness and isolation can prevent a feeling of hopefulness and possibility. It is my belief that supportive, interactive and relational psychotherapy and/or psychoanalysis can offer profound change and relief in helping one manage their deepest conflicts and achieve greater fulfillment.

I'm a licensed psychotherapist. People ask for my advice on all aspects of life. I'm a new genus of therapists- mixing cognitive behavior DBT and psychodynamic therapies, to get the resolve you want. And I love what I do. With a relationship based on trust, respect and empathy, my goal is to help you create a different view of life- to change faulty thinking, get past old schemas, and resolve current issues that get in the way of your own personal growth and joy in life. Let's work on breaking destructive patterns, thoughts and actions through gained strength, empathy and resolution.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Are you struggling with relationships, self-esteem, or life transitions? Our work together will help you navigate these challenges and find a path toward healing and growth. Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, I work with my clients to identify and address underlying issues that are causing distress in their lives. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or current stressors, or simply seeking personal development, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

My practice is informed by my firm conviction in the possibility of change, founded in extensive personal & professional experience. I employ an eclectic approach in therapy, with a primary focus on interpersonal, psychodynamic treatment. I have successfully worked with people struggling with many of life's central challenges: identity, relationships, depression, & self-defeating or self-destructive behaviors. I have particular expertise in working with people affected by alcoholism/addiction: not only those who have substance abuse problems, but also the partners or adult children of alcoholics/addicts & people in long-term recovery.

My purpose is to help you improve balance, harmony, and growth in your life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, lgbtq issues, loss of a loved one, career or academic challenges, I utilize a strengths based approach to empower you. My approach is guided by a commitment to two principles: 1. You are the expert on your life and by enhancing that expertise, significant change can occur and 2. You can create actions that will increase happiness, no matter the circumstances. I offer individual one on one telehealth video sessions to anyone in New York. Please call or email for an appointment.

I believe in drawing from a wide range of approaches and theories, but always grounded in psychodynamic understanding, focusing on what is best suited to each person in their own therapy. I know that a trusting relationship must be the foundation of any therapeutic process if it is to be productive, and this is the kind of environment I try to create for all of my clients. I am engaged and interactive, and I work with a wide range of clients with varying backgrounds and issues.

During these difficult times nerves are often frayed and relationships can get testy. As old wounds and past traumas get stirred up, anxiety and depression might resurface. I work with LGBT and straight individuals and couples, striving to help people feel comfortable expressing their feelings and asserting their needs. I have advanced training in trauma, adoption, gay/lesbian and couple's therapy. I also have expertise treating the impact of parental divorce, substance abuse and immigration on adult-child relationships. An important goal is for you to gain more control of your issues and feel more confident in your decisions.

Are you looking for an open-minded, non-judgmental therapist to help you address problems, build confidence, and get to know yourself? Are you struggling with life, relationships, creative pursuits, or coming to terms with your past? Seeking therapy requires courage, and it is with respect, curiosity and dedication that I approach this work.
