Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Life may feel joyous and beautiful, but it may also feel uncertain, boring, sad, lonely, painful, and even devastating at times. Life's inevitable changes can leave us feeling overwhelmed, lost, and engaging in unhealthy behaviors in order to cope. Finding the right support is key to help you navigate these difficult times.

I make use of an integrated approach to psychotherapy that is individualized based on client need, incorporating cognitive behavioral, and dynamic play-oriented approaches as appropriate, to address difficulties with mood, behavior, motivation, and relationships.

You may be entering a new stage in your life, and need support in navigating the stressors of embarking on this new challenge and redefining your relationships with family members. Maybe you are a new parent who knows they want to parent differently from your parents but are unsure of where to start. Or your new role as a parent as brought to the surface your own childhood experiences that you want to explore and process. Maybe you see your child struggling with intense feelings and are seeking support for them.

People may seek out therapy because they feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, unable to identify and articulate their wants and needs, or simply because they want to better understand themselves and live more intentionally. Whatever your reasons for exploring therapy may be, you are likely curious about your own potential for growth and change. I have tremendous respect for all of those I work with for showing up for themselves to explore this potential that we all possess.

Is it just me, or do a lot of these "bios" start to sound the same after a while? Finding a therapist online is difficult, which I know from personal experience. I am here to provide connections, help facilitate joy and offer a space for you to learn to express your needs and be supported. Our practice together will value your lived experiences as the primary material and will be co-created through empathy and open communication. These systems of mental health are not ones that want us to "feel better", thanks to capitalism and systemic racism. I want to offer a space to fight against that.

Hi there! I work with a diverse population of individuals, couples, and folx in various "non-traditional" relationships who are facing self-esteem problems, gender identity, LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma, grief, body-image issues, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. As a queer therapist, I know the importance of speaking with someone who is informed about queer and trans experiences and to feel connected to your therapist in a relational way.

I believe therapy is an opportunity for people to explore themselves and their relationships in order to create space for self-acceptance and deeper connections. In our work together, we will explore life’s challenges, celebrate its joys, and process the experiences in between. I practice focusing on clients' strengths, collaborating to create an individualized approach to address each client’s unique needs.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship can serve as a healing space. I prioritize building person-centered partnerships that allow all individuals to feel safe throughout their clinical experience. I am very invested in cultivating meaningful relationships centered around trust, openness, and honesty. I find in my practice that this allows for each individual child, teenager, or adult I work with to feel grounded in their own narrative as well as feel self-empowered to utilize the tools they gain throughout our work together.

To those considering beginning their therapy journey, I understand it can feel like a daunting commitment. It is my mission to create a meaningful, interesting and collaborative environment that meets a client where they are and shows them that they have the capacity for meaningful change. Shift in perspective is crucial to an evolving sense of self. I believe in the power of culture, myth, laughter and metaphor to explore a client's issues. I draw from Jungian, Humanistic and Existential theory and believe therapy is a creative as well as healing enterprise.

I am deeply passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and empowering them to live authentic and fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with maladaptive behavior patterns such as eating disorders and substance abuse, and common co-occurring issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. I provide a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free space to explore thoughts, feelings, experiences, and vulnerabilities. My goal is to engage clients in a process of self-reflection, self-discovery, and positive change in order to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgemental and safe place where my client can feel open and trust me. From my previous work background I have learned that having a therapist you can not only trust but have a personal connection with is very important. I believe every individual has their own unique experiences, trauma, and issues and I would like to be that safe place for someone to unravel these experiences and together work towards a positive healthier journey. I strive to always validate my client's feelings and have an open empathetic mindset during my sessions which I believe is very important.

I specialize in helping people in their late teens, 20s & 30s release the original programming from home, school or their community that convinced them they needed to hide their true selves, masking traits that were perceived to be different or not enough. In session, we'll celebrate your unique perspective, work to individuate from early caregivers and trauma bonds, while building the trust and authenticity you need to support your high-achieving personality. Connect with like-minded others who validate your lived experience and recognize the beauty of nuance. Improve communication, confidence, emotional intelligence + compassion.

I strive to welcome individuals into an accepting, compassionate, and curious therapeutic environment. In this space, I use our relationship as a guide for navigating struggles outside of the room. I work from a person-centered lens, whereas I collaborate with each person to find the style and framework that feels most aligned to their goals and being. I borrow and integrate techniques from humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral frameworks.

Brynley believes the most important role of a therapist is as facilitator. In every interaction she is most concerned with creating a safe space that will allow insight to naturally arise as you walk your own individually tailored journey to healing and wellness. 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.

Are you in your 20s or 30s and seeking help with managing stress and anxiety. I focus on helping people who have trouble speaking up for themselves, experience imposter syndrome, have trouble saying no, and experience challenges coping with high-stress work environments.

As a therapist trained in strengths-based, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, unconditional care, somatic experiencing, yoga and mindfulness modalities, I bring a breadth of experience to every therapeutic collaboration. Every person is an individual. Similarly, our work is individualized and uniquely tailored to meet any matters at hand. I treat every professional engagement as a collaboration, valuing and holding space for needs, expertise, concerns, and strengths present in any interaction; curiosity and compassion are the hallmarks of my practice. I am taking on new clients!
