I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. I specialize in helping people who are navigating difficult life transitions and looking to gain insight about their emotions, relationship patterns, and personal history.

I integrate techniques from evidence-based practices of somatic psychotherapy, parts work, DBT, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you find new skills to handle your challenges.

Using an intersectional lens, I strive to offer an affirming space for people of all identities and experiences, including LGBTQIA+, poly, and kink communities.

Hi, I am Briana Kreamer, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 4 years of clinical experience. I am comfortable meeting with all types of clients, focusing on depression, anxiety, life stressors, life transitions, and interpersonal concerns. I have worked with various clients with diagnoses, most frequently depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and substance misuse. I pull from different types of therapy that include Cognitive Behavioral, SFBT, Narrative, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based. I believe in approaching each client openly and with empathy to help find the best way to help the client meet their goals.

Therapy can teach how to handle life obstacles in a healing, healthy way. I understand it can be scary, daunting, and overwhelming to start this journey. It can be easy to isolate yourself, to shove down the pain, or think you can’t be helped. No matter what your struggle is, you don’t have to go through it alone. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, OCD, addiction, grief and loss. As your therapist, I aim to help you feel heard, validated, and empowered.

When I started my career over 20 years ago, my focus was children and adolescents, and it has evolved to include couples, adults, and families. Self actualization, self love, self care, finding one's purpose, and the motivation to realize that purpose have been my forte. If you want to go on a journey of self discovery which informs who and how you are in your relationships with others and with yourself, I am here to help.

Hi! My name is Oluwatosin Akindele, Tosin for short. Thank you for allowing yourself to embark on the healing process.

Our practice welcomes all who question their life's path and doubt themselves, who negotiate cultural identities or life transitions, and those who want a space to be supported as they figure out who they want to be.

You did everything you were supposed to do. You went to college, got the job, found an apartment but you still feel like crap. You've been on a million dates, but it never seems to work out. At this point, it feels like you're going through the motions. On paper, your life seems great. You're paid well, you have friends, and your Google Calendar is full with events. Your parents brag to their friends how wonderful you are, but you feel guilty for not measuring up. You're not happy and you don't know why.

Many clients in my Fort Greene practice are suffering from depression and anxiety. Both these strong emotions can rob you of joy in life, your energy, and your interest in connecting with others. Many people underestimate the impact of these strong emotions on your relationships, your productivity, and your health. Freeing yourself from the paralyzing trap of depression and anxiety will give you new energy to move on in your life.

Is it just me, or do a lot of these "bios" start to sound the same after a while? Finding a therapist online is difficult, which I know from personal experience. I am here to provide connections, help facilitate joy and offer a space for you to learn to express your needs and be supported. Our practice together will value your lived experiences as the primary material and will be co-created through empathy and open communication. These systems of mental health are not ones that want us to "feel better", thanks to capitalism and systemic racism. I want to offer a space to fight against that.

Everyone deserves to be seen and heard for who they are. I am committed to working with compassion and empathy, to guide my clients towards a greater sense of self-love, understanding, and acceptance. Through non-judgemental deep listening and collaboration, I believe we can all live a more connected, inspired life.

Each of us has become who we are by way of our life experiences. Reflecting and offering insight along the way, my hope is to support you as you get to know yourself more deeply and develop tools to enhance your wellbeing. I believe some days we need direct, honest feedback and other days we need a compassionate, tender listener. It is my intention to adapt to your needs as they shift while cultivating a space where you can share without fear of judgement.

Throughout my training and career, I've worked with diverse populations facing various challenges, including relationship issues, identity exploration, anxiety, and life transitions.

My therapeutic style is interpersonal and collaborative. My goal as a psychodynamic therapist is to assist in reflection and exploration, to offer my honest insight and perspective when useful, and to provide a space for the myriad parts of the self to become known.
