Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

My style is collaborative, warm, authentic, and active. I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and the continued impact of recent or developmental trauma.

If you're looking to live your best life and need a safe place to work through life's challenges, I can help! I support people with anxiety, self esteem struggles, interpersonal or relationship issues, life transitions, career difficulties, managing stress, feeling "stuck", health concerns, and/or depression. I also work with all types of partnerships and commitments (romantic or otherwise) on a range of concerns. Therapy doesn't have to wait for a crisis. It can just be a space to process daily events. Being a person is hard sometimes!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I have particular clinical interest in gender and sexual diversity, dysfunctional relationship patterns, challenges related to life transitions, and bi/multicultural identity issues. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective and incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques when helpful. I believe that the primary goal of therapy is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, including greater awareness of automatic or problematic patterns of behaving and relating to others.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy for adults who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, job stress, personality disorders, self-esteem issues, difficulty with attention and concentration, and other life stressors. I work both with individuals and couples.

If you are feeling stuck and overwhelmed, you came to the right place. Together, we'll gain insight into what's getting in your way to restore balance to your life. I'll help you identify distorted thinking, modify beliefs, alter behavior, and relate to yourself and others in a way that feels easeful and gratifying. I am warm, non-judgmental, and direct—no subject is off limits, and humor is welcome! My style is integrative, merging evidence-based therapies with alternative “new-wave" therapies, honoring the connection between mind, body and spirit. I am strengths-based, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and nonpathologizing.

I believe that therapy is a transformative experience that can increase self-awareness, self-knowledge and self-compassion. Through an open, curious, supportive partnership, we will explore and deepen your understanding of your relationships and history and how these may be impacting your life now. Our process can help you make more informed decisions about how you want to move forward in your life or help you find peace in remaining where you’re at. I offer a non-judgmental space where all thoughts, feelings, fears and desires can be explored and processed.

You deserve to live your best life, and I am here to help! I am a holistic Psychotherapist and Yoga Teacher in Brooklyn combining traditional talk therapy with mind-body techniques to help you create meaningful change in your life. While I can assist with many issues, I specialize in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions. Expect a thorough, compassionate experience with an eclectic, personalized approach specifically tailored to your needs. Together, we'll work to help you feel better. I work in private practice with Dr. Beata Lewis, MD at Mind Body Seven.

I provide a safe, welcoming place to bring your thoughts and feelings, inner conflicts and concerns and your hopes for change. We will work together to understand patterns that no longer serve you and may be contributing to emotional pain. Whether you have issues around intimacy, relationships, parenting, work dissatisfaction, overcoming creative blocks or overwhelming feelings that keep you from creating a richer, more purposeful life, therapy can be life changing. For children, play therapy in addition to talk can help get to the root of difficult behavior in conflicts with peers, at school and with family.

Reaching out to a therapist is the hardest part. Now that you've found me, let me make the rest easier. I see therapy as a collaborative process and one where together we discover what is already working and what needs some attention. I'm an active participant and see us as a team where we get to know all of your parts, beliefs and identities. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, are struggling with your career or life trajectory, dealing with family or relationship issues, I am ready to get you or your relationship to a happier, healthier place.

In my therapeutic practice, I believe that healing is cultivated within the safety of a supportive and non-judgmental relationship. I find that this allows for individuals I work with to feel grounded in their truth as well as feel empowered to use the tools they gain through our work together. My practice offers relational, narrative, and psychodynamic approaches from a trauma-responsive lens. Through the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship, we will compassionately get to the center of challenging patterns and support you in your process to feel like your most authentic self.

Let's work it out together. Most of us struggle from time to time with relationship questions, parenting conundrums, career decisions or even the loss of someone or something of great significance to us. Over the years, I've come to respect the value of sharing these struggles with a sensitive professional. I am here to help you explore how better to manage the obstacles that stand in your way. Working with individuals, couples, families and groups, I enjoy helping people come to a better understanding of how to work through the challenges in their lives.

Are you feeling stuck, caught in a difficulty in which you can't seem to resolve? Does the same situation repeat over and over in different forms? Life is hard and sometimes we need to help of another person, a nonjudgmental listener, to move forward. Whatever problems you face, relationship difficulties, struggles to balance career and personal life, anxiety, grief or health issues, a therapist can serve as your guide. Through the therapeutic process you may also explore your personal history as it relates to current difficulties and, in the process, discover new ways of coping.

Sometimes patterns of communication can get in the way of building deeper connections and leave us feeling misunderstood or overwhelmed in our relationships. These patterns can make it difficult to see eye-to-eye when experiencing grief, life transitions, increased stress, or uncertainty about what’s next. By exploring the factors that contribute to both healthy and unhealthy dynamics, therapy becomes a collaborative environment where each partner can practice giving and receiving empathy. Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, or life transitions, couples therapy can be a place to deepen connection and find collective healing.

I am here to help. Life brings on all kinds of challenges. I am a great listener, I'm supportive, discreet and skilled at helping people reach their potential. With over 25 years of experience, I have helped people face and overcome their most challenging and most intimate issues. I have specialized with helping people improve their performance as it relates to the job, relationship or one's sexlife. Using both a psychodynamic and behavioral modification approach, I am able to help people overcome issues of intimacy, underperformance or sexual addiction and to lead a healthier active life.

My genuine interest in people, their unique stories, and what brings them to therapy plays an important role in my work. I see my job as helping each individual understand what may be interfering in achieving their goals. I use a variety of techniques, tailored to each person's needs. I enjoy the process of forming a unique, collaborative relationship with each individual, leading to helpful change.

I view therapy as an ongoing process of learning about oneself. Our interpersonal relationship allows for exploration, growth, understanding, insight, and ultimately change. I specialize in working with adult individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, areas of self and identity, and the general frustration of feeling stuck or conflicted. Therapy is --and can be-- for everyone!

I am passionate about creating a comfortable and validating therapeutic environment where you know that you are free to be your most honest and open self. I am genuinely invested in getting to know you while nonjudgmentally exploring and supporting your unique complexities and challenges. In a therapeutic relationship, I value down-to-earth communication, humor when appropriate, and authenticity. I hope that from the very first day we work together, you get the sense that you are no longer alone in carrying any burdens weighing on you. We will be a team and navigate everything together.

When the time comes to make a change, it takes courage to ask for support. To be one who can respond to that request is a privilege. Starting in community mental health (access for all) and moving into my private practice, I have had experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grieving with adults, children, couples, and the LGBTQ community. I specialize in working with people who have a history of trauma, big and small, and varied relational issues. I integrate my psychodynamic and relational training with long- or short-term, problem focused psychotherapeutic work as well as EMDR treatment.

Why therapy? I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we need to slow down and reconnect with ourselves. At times therapy can feel like an essential human need - a place to go when you need to feel understood, supported and cared for. A strong therapeutic relationship can be one of the most important and unique relationships in your life. My goal is to work together to help you feel empowered and capable of change. Lets explore the patterns that may be holding you back and help you move forward!
