Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

These are challenging fast-moving times. The demands from family, career, social and romantic relationships can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. How do we find the time to excel in our professional lives and simultaneously make room for healthy loving connections with those that are important to us? How do we manage our anxiety, sadness, and grief in real-time when we are feeling angry, confused, isolated, and perhaps abusing alcohol, drugs to numb the overwhelming sense of fear, depression, or frustration we feel in our lives? How do we live our best lives and gravitate toward healthier connections and decision making?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience helping clients to work on anything that is getting in the way of their happiness, success, and quality of life, including anxiety, depression, changes in physical health, relationship issues, parenting, and adjustment disorders. No matter what you are experiencing, I am here to help in a safe and judgement-free environment.

Do you ever let your anxiety get in the way of achieving the joy or productivity you want? Do you feel stuck? We cannot change what we are not aware of, therefore exploring the roots of our suffering allows us to have the opportunity to create positive change in order to have a better future. I aim to help my patients find awareness of their own suffering and individual ways to lean into it in order to ultimately work on letting go of what is no longer serving them. I cater individually to each and every patient often honing in on strengths-based and solution-oriented perspectives.

I have an individualized and unique approach working with children, young adults and elderly patients providing individual and family psychotherapy in the office setting. I provide mostly cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, family and psychodynamic therapies, while when I perform biopsychosocial assessment, I coordinate ongoing treatment with the psychiatrist and other specialists in order treat a patient on individual basis considering all the specific details related to his medical issues and social environment. My patients note that I create a nurturing environment for them expressing empathetic understanding and compassion to them.

As an experienced therapist,I have been successful in helping many people of all ages with emotional and life-stage adjustment problems. I have a strong background in assisting people with relationship problems, family matters and work issues. I help people to learn strategies for managing stress, work through loss, and resolve interpersonal conflicts.

I am a clinical psychologist experienced in working with individuals and couples around a variety of emotional and life challenges, including grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and substance abuse. I specialize in working with women and couples dealing with challenges around pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression/anxiety, and adjustment to parenting. I also see mothers and infants together to address issues in attachment and communication. My orientation is primarily psychodynamic and interpersonal, although I am trained in CBT, DBT, and CPT and do integrate these strategies as needed.

Making the decision to start therapy is one the best gifts you can give yourself. That might sound a bit cliché, but giving yourself permission to focus on your own needs and discover more about yourself can be an incredible process. This is especially true if perhaps you’ve gotten used to putting the needs of others first, by being a caregiver to a parent or family member who may be struggling with a physical or mental illness or substance misuse. Learning to put the focus back on yourself and figuring out what gives you happiness and fulfillment is one the many ways that a good therapeutic relationship can enrich your life.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or have been in therapy many times before, it’s so important to find a therapist that feels like the right fit for you. I want to personally acknowledge the courage, intentionality, and investment you have placed in yourself in deciding to seek support in the form of counseling/therapy. We may struggle with relationships, work, life transitions, caregiving, chronic illness and pain, loss, stress and trauma related symptoms, or other issues. Create space for yourself to engage in a restorative, empowering therapeutic experience and receive the support you deserve.

Are you seeking relief for loss of a loved one? Do you feel deep in grief? Are you a stressed out caregiver? Coping with chronic illness? Processing feelings in a safe environment can improve your improve your sleep and help you find a feeling of security. I have an advanced certification in grief counseling and am a fellow in Thanatology, the study of death, dying and bereavement. Thanatology encompasses grief models and theories.

Blending intuition and compassion I assist clients to gain a better understanding of themselves and their values and to identify patterns that hinder positive experiences and relationships. I am drawn towards a person-centered, experiential approach, in tandem with the application of tangible strategies and coping skills. In my work as a grief counselor, individually and in groups, I draw upon my personal experience moving through complicated grief, bringing the intersection of my clinical skill and lived experience of harnessing the healing benefits of empathic grief support.

Is it difficult to find the time for therapy? Online counseling can make it more accessible for you. Do you feel overwhelmed, have negative or irrational thoughts that are sometimes intrusive? Allow me to help you think more positively and develop healthy coping skills. I am adept at anxiety and depression, personality disorders, addiction, eating disorders and those affected by trauma. My role as a therapist is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental environment to explore your thoughts and feelings.

My goal in working with you is to provide a safe/non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing the issues that bother you. Life has a way of bringing us challenges that we are not always prepared for. It might be related to a medical condition, issues with family, or the loss of a loved one. Sometimes it is related to trying to be comfortable in the life we have built for ourselves and the expectations of the community we live in. We will work together to identify your personal goals and strengths as you develop a plan to manage these life issues.

I am a clinical psychologist in Brooklyn, NY. I have been providing psychotherapy, couple’s counseling, and family therapy. I am also a director of Mobile Crisis Service and psychological/neuropsychological testing supervisor at New York Health + Hospitals. I have worked with children and adults with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, addiction, and cognitive difficulties. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy and use integrative approach with other holistic and creative modalities.

Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors, life transitions, and traumatic events - including new or ongoing health conditions - affect every aspect of our lives and can make relationships - with family, friends, colleagues, and even healthcare providers - very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported (even by the well-intentioned). They can also lead us to make choices we aren't proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general.

As a therapist, I place myself in my clients situations. I utilize my energy to fully understand my clients and their challenges that they have/need to address. My depth of understanding, guides my ability to assist my clients to comprehend how to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

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.

I have trained and specialize in several modalities such as EMDR, Forensic, DBT, CBT, Family Therapy, Addictions etc. I provide ongoing assessment, diagnosis, psychotherapy and treatment planning to a socio-culturally diverse adult and adolescent population diagnosed with a full-spectrum of psychiatric disorders including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety-related disorders, substance abuse and dependence, PTSD, ADHD, Post-Partum Depression, Trauma related issues, Family and relationship issues etc.

Daniel provides therapeutic support from an individualized, person-centered approach in an attempt to meet each new patient where they are in their specific life-situation. He draws from an eclectic multicultural theoretical framework, incorporating psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral approaches to treatment when appropriate. He firmly believes in each individual’s unique differences and relies on a strengths-based perspective when working to motivate behavioral change.

I address problems with a focus on results, not intentions. Resolve that if what you're doing isn't working, you'll be willing to change it. Do you want to live purposefully, or will you continue complaining about what you don't have? While I work with past issues, I'll help you live in the now in a purposeful and rewarding present onto a satisfying future. Resolve that you'll no longer allow your choices to cause you pain and fear rather than peace and joy. If you can say "I'm sick of this. I am ready" then give me a call.
