Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
The fundamental core of my practice is the belief that each individual has the capacity for wisdom, growth and change with respect to his/her own life. I trust that the potential that is necessary for change is within each person, but this capacity may not always be evident or accessible. As a clinician, I believe that one of the most important components of psychotherapy is having an atmosphere which is supportive, patient, validating and compassionate. I approach my patients with integrity and a commitment to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your true self.

People usually come to therapy seeking relief from problems that have become intrusive, limiting or painful. Through talking in session, you will start to become aware of thoughts and feelings you didn't know you had, of desires hovering below consciousness. My job is to help you connect to your inner experience, and to provide an atmosphere of tolerance and curiosity where we explore it together. The process itself generates insight and emotional awareness. From there we work to transform what you're learning about yourself into positive change and self-assertion.

I’m honored that you’re here — taking steps toward your healing, growth, and peace.

If you’re ready to begin doing the work — to heal, to grow, and to reclaim your power — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Struggling with overwhelming emotions or thought-patterns? You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental space to explore what’s happening and build new ways of relating to yourself.
I work best with children, teens, and young adults seeking new or different ways of caring for themselves. You might be in a life transition, noticing confusing relationship patterns, feeling disconnected from your body, or experiencing high highs and low lows. I’m especially aligned with clients who feel stuck in a sympathetic state and want tools to slow down and feel more safe.

Expert therapy for couples! Many of my clients deal with communication, conflict, and personality differences. They have trouble resolving and repairing conflict and personality differences. If you can relate, you are searching for a therapist who will give you the skills to speak to one another with kindness, even when you are angry, teach you how to understand one each other, so that conflict becomes a learning experience rather than a wound in the relationship.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected — from your identity, your body, your community — you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been doing all the “right” things, showing up, pushing through, trying to hold it all together, and still something feels ... off. Like you're stuck in loops that don’t feel like you. Exhausting patterns. Old survival strategies. It can be hard to tell where to even begin. I work with women in communities who are often taught to take up less space, specifically LGBTQIA+ identifying and artists/creatives/performers, who are ready to slow down, tune into their bodies, and live more confident and pleasure-filled lives.

I believe psychotherapy can offer an the opportunity to explore difficult internal experiences, relationships or life transitions in a safe, supportive environment that encourages productive change. That opportunity is based on a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. It is this relationship that is central to the change process. To facillitate the change that clients hope for, a warm, empathic and open therapist is important.

Hello! My name is Alex (they/them). I am a helper and trained counselor welcoming clients who have specifically been ostracized or misunderstood by the mental health industrial complex. Currently, institutional services geared towards helping are explicitly gate kept by ableist perspectives, carceral state interventions, financial inaccessibility, treatment stigma, and other barriers rooted in the shameful, foundational practices of white supremacy and western culture. My work is specifically political, and intended to help clients cultivate a more liberated life. I curate space for healing as well as dream building.
