Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I work with clients to create the conditions for greater self-acceptance, ease, and self-agency. I often work with creative or sensitive people, and with those recovering from complex trauma, addiction, and family-of-origin wounds that may cause depression, stuckness, or disconnection. I believe in the liberating process of creating space for grief, sorrow, anger, humor and joy as a means to support growth, healing, and change. I work with clients in a highly experiential way, honoring the wisdom of the body and language of the soul. I believe that building and creating one's life is more powerful than attempting to "fix" oneself.

I am a NY State licensed psychotherapist with a MSW from Columbia University. Since 2003, I have been helping individuals and families understand and manage anxiety, depression & other mood disorders, relationship and career challenges, life transitions, sexual & gender identity, family dynamics, chronic illness, grief & loss. Through a holistic, psychodynamic approach, I combine principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and stress management. I strive to help my clients feel supported, contained and challenged to enhance their awareness and coping skills, reach their goals and fulfill their potential.

Perhaps you feel like you don't fit in or are struggling to figure out who you are or what is important to you. Or something, either concrete or intangible, isn't working in your life or just feels "off." Perhaps you are sad, anxious, struggling with a loss, infertility, chronic illness, or having difficulty with a family situation or relationship. I provide a compassionate and safe space to explore these challenges, allowing you to focus on what gives your life purpose and meaning. We will work on two levels- gaining insight, while also learning tools and strategies to reduce your pain.

Greetings, you have made a courageous step in investigating help, and I welcome the opportunity to come alongside you in transformative work. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 13 years of experience, and I am passionate about the healing process. I work with clients from young childhood, adolescence through adulthood. Because there is no one-size fits all solution, my approach focuses on consciousness and awareness, drawing from a range of clinical modalities and with a holistic and eclectic approach to empowerment tailored strategically and uniquely for you.

I am a NYS Bilingual (English, Spanish speaking) Licensed Clinical Social Worker and specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression in adults. Most of my clients are individuals who present to therapy seeking support for issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship or marital stress, adjustment to life transition, or an overall feeling of dissatisfaction in some areas of their lives and wanting to make change. Our work together is centered on building insight into patterns that have been contributing to distress, achieving relief, and developing coping strategies to help achieve a more satisfying quality of life.

I am passionate about helping people to overcome life challenges. My special focus is on weight loss. I understand the difficulty and the frustration of the process and I will help you set realistic goals and reach them. My other specialization lies in the area of loss, grief and mourning. Losing someone you love is an especially traumatic event. I will help you find inner strength and commitment to self-growth to continue finding joy in life despite the pain of your loss.

I work with individual adults, parents and children, and families. Clients see me to alleviate anxiety and manage stress, support their child's behavior and growth, and address issues in the parent/child relationship. Parenting a young child can bring great delight and satisfaction, and also present isolation, bewilderment and depression. I have additional expertise and training in infant and early childhood mental health. I help parents & children increase joy in their connection, reduce challenging behavior, get more sleep, navigate power struggles, & find healing after a traumatic experience.

Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body. I work using an intersectional feminist perspective with a focus on trauma, gender, sexuality, life transitions, feeling stuck, coming out later in life, being a late bloomer, immigration experiences, and navigating neurodivergence. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+, TGNC/NB and queer identified communities.

I love working with people, guiding them, and attentively listening to them. I would be honored to be a part of your process in becoming your best self. I aim to make sure you feel safe, supported, and heard in therapy. Change is possible, it might not happen overnight but it IS possible. As Maslow stated “I can feel guilty about the past, apprehensive about the future but only in the present can I act.” Now is the present and there is no better time to start your mental health journey.

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. My approach is to help you identify your strengths and help you utilize them to achieve greater harmony in your day to day interactions. I have over 20 years of experience, working side by side with clients, dealing with a multitude of issues that create challenges and obstacles that can be avoidable or reduced.

My Model: Celebrating the equal relationship between the client and facilitator, we move with the flow of energy: the client as the 'expert' on self, and the facilitator as the 'expert' on the theories of psychological change. DW Winnicott reminds us of the beauty and function of playing: involving fantasy, creativity and energy flow. We bring the unconscious to the conscious mind with the specific goal of moving toward desired changes, as we nurture the healing process. We'll focus on your habitual behavioral responses. If you don't like these, I'll help you change them. We'll focus on letting go of what doesn't serve you.

Making the decision to start therapy can be both tough and uncomfortable, and, can lead to meaningful growth and change. Therapy can provide a very fulfilling and clarifying experience that can assist you in areas of your life where you may feel stuck, trapped and/or just wanting change. Working through these areas can unlock more joy,peace,ease,self-compassion and love.
