Sex Therapy in Midtown, New York, NY

Therapy is the vehicle to self-awareness and self-understanding in the pursuit of more satisfying relationships and greater self-esteem. Gaining insight, identifying needs, and problem-solving create an environment for postive change. I work with eating and body image issues, relationship issues, sexual problems, depression, anxiety and other compulsions and addictions. I work in a supportive and emotionally attuned style. Together we will look at the unhealthy adaptations and work at creating healthier life choices and symptom reduction. My optimism for people's capacity for positive change informs my work and facilitates a trust-building partnership.

Experienced, training, and rapport are important in choosing a Psychotherapist. I am a Senior Psychologist with a 5-star patient satisfaction rating, through decades of work with people of different background and issues. This include problems with anxiety, depression, sex relationship and work difficulties. I have been a full-time instructor in Developmental psychology at Adelphi University, City University, and taught at Psychotherapy institutes. I have also been a Senior Psychologist in hospital settings.

Thank you for stopping by. You probably already know that most people find relationships challenging especially the romantic, intimate, sexual kind. Perhaps you're frustrated, discouraged, disappointed and resentful about it all. Perhaps you feel burdened or obligated by your relationship. Or perhaps you feel a whole bunch of lacks; lack of love, lack of affection, lack of connection, lack of warmth, lack of sex etc... Regardless of the particular relationship challenge or challenges you might be facing, I can help.

Do you find yourself fighting more with your partner and having a hard time resolving your differences? Are you feeling more distance between you and your partner and worried that you are growing apart? Has there been a recent betrayal that has you in crisis? Do you crave more intimacy, more fun, more sexuality , more emotional connection? Have you noticed a decline in your sex life or are differences in your sexual interests/ preferences creating tension and problems? Are you looking for ways to add novelty, variety, excitement back into your sex life? Are you curious about BDSM, Kink, Open Relationships, CNM or Polyamory?

Individual and Couple sessions informed by attachment theory, trauma and when needed sex therapy are provided in my Columbus Circle office. I can help with communication, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and attention issues. I am certified in EMDR and Board Certified in Neurofeedback and trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EMDR and Neurofeedback are 2 of the key treatment therapies recommended in the book; BODY KEEPS THE SCORE by Bessel van der Kolk, MD. Research demonstrates how the brain and our emotional lives interact and how with assistance we can change our lives.

At The Sexuality , Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.

You don't have to live in pain and depression. Working together, you and I can create mutually understood meanings tol help you get past "stuck places." Investigating your past while paying close attention to feelings in the present moment allows you to gain new personal insight. It also facilitates therapeutic healing and growth.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. I'm Brittany, a trauma specialized therapist with a focus in relationships, sex therapy , anxiety and hopefully, you! Many clients would agree, therapy is not linear, meaning we will explore many other areas to make sure we address all necessary dilemmas.

I primarily work with individuals and couples looking to explore and navigate areas such as sex , intimacy, trauma, infidelity, gender, communication, conflict, and codependency, as well as some of the more 'minor' day-to-day snags and intimacy blocks that we can experience within relationships and ourselves. I also work with individuals in areas such as: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Eating Disorders, obsessive food and body behaviors, compulsivity, and anxiety. I primarily work with and support people who work in the adult industry, non monogamous folks, kinky people, and people who are navigating their sexualities and identities

I'm both a Certified Emotionally Focused (EFT) Couples Therapist and Supervisor as well as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center (G&STC) is a psychotherapy group focusing on providing LGBTQ+, kink, and poly competent therapy. We offer therapy to individuals, couples, multi-partner relationships and families. Our goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering therapeutic space to the individuals and communities who often lack access to services, and are met with stigma, discrimination and micro-aggressions, even while in therapy.

Anxiety and mood disorders were my first areas of expertise. My fascination with relationships led me to study, from the lens of sex , the complicated and delicate dynamics that occur between and within people. This view point has given me a perspective on the interplay between sex , emotional difficulties, relationship patterns and attachment styles. Whether sex and relationship difficulties bring you to treatment or it's your anxiety and mood difficulties; we'll use my understanding of best clinical practices and your history to help you live a more satisfied life, inside and outside the bedroom.

No one is perfect! But thankfully we can all learn to better identify those issues that may hold us back from personal/interpersonal happiness, to manage conflict and discord, and ultimately to relate to ourselves and others better. Helping people navigate these waters has been my life-long pursuit. I strongly believe that your most important relationship is with yourself, and being comfortable in your own skin is what allows you to build healthy relationships with others. Therefore my goal is to help you accept and love the unique individual inside, in order for you to live your most authentic and fulfilled life.

I work from a trauma-focused, strengths-based somatic and relational perspective to help you release shame via self-compassion. I view even the coping mechanisms that make us feel the most stuck as examples of our bodies’ incredible resiliency & drive to keep us safe. Within the therapeutic dynamic, I seek to help you identify and unlearn harmful cultural conditioning and, with the courage of authenticity, uncover your own innate wisdom. To me, therapy is a place where we can explore creative self-expression and practice intentional relationship building in order to live more authentic, joyful, and embodied lives.
