EMDR Therapists in 11215
I am a seasoned clinician based in Brooklyn specializing in complex trauma and those suffering from or adjacent to someone with cancer. Somatic tools like EMDR and DBR are supported by an attachment based, interactive approach. Psychodynamic therapy helps us identify what's under the surface to tackle old habits, default behaviors, cognitive distortions that can cause symptoms like anxiety or depression. Trauma can be debilitating until you learn strategies to weaken its hold. Therapy is a partnership to strengthen your sense of self, create sustainable skills to cope with stressors, and feel effective in meeting your own needs.

I'm well-versed in trauma and, if appropriate, weave EMDR into the talk therapy work we do together.
Life can throw a lot our way and sometimes it's hard to know where to turn. That's where counseling comes in. Here, whatever ails you is welcome. If you have specific issues you want to address, we can work on navigating them. If you're confused, feeling directionless or unsure, we can build a space where you feel safe to sit with your emotions, gain clarity, and process together. Maybe you don't have a specific problem but you could use someone to listen without judgment; no matter the reason you're here you've come to the right place.

Through a blend of Mindfulness, "parts work," EMDR, and acceptance and commitment therapy, I hold space for my clients to identify, feel, and accept their feelings while recognizing what is within their power to change.
Striving for mental health and wellness in a society with as many issues as ours is hard. Finding a therapist to support you in that, can sometimes feel even harder. What criteria do you base your decision on? Degrees, years in practice, areas of expertise, whether they still meet people in person... But what a profile and your research cannot tell you, happens to be the most important criteria: if the two of you will "fit.” The best and quickest way to know for certain is to schedule the appointment.

I’m an EMDR trauma therapy trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn who has been working as a psychotherapist since 2012.
Life can be messy and difficult at times and often we feel alone in our journey, not knowing how to move forward to find the meaning that we desperately seek. I can help you do the deeper work needed to move towards a more authentic and fulfilling experience while also assisting you in accepting and even embracing wherever you are in your journey right now. I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach to psychotherapy and I utilize different approaches depending on your needs. My goal is to create a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard and understood.

I work from a trauma informed lens and am EMDR trained.
A warm welcome to you. It is a deeply personal commitment to show up for and engage in the therapeutic process, especially when what had worked in the past no longer feels helpful in the present, and it feels hard to reimagine a different future. For some of us, we do life experiencing a disconnect within ourselves despite our best intentions for more vital, and fulfilling experiences. Together we will define what healing looks like, with you as the driver of your journey. I offer transparency, thoughtfulness and collaboration. Together we will process your experiences, give dignity to the hurt, discover what works for you.

I practice Emdr, a powerful technique for the healing of trauma.
Therapy often goes into areas that were likely too difficult to look at on one’s own. People have different methods of avoiding this discomfort: drugs, engagement in risky or soul-emptying sexual practices, over-working, over-eating, over-thinking. Even yoga and meditation can deceptively serve to block out pain under the guise of “being in the moment.” Rather than encourage clients to aggressively get rid of these methods, I help them gently explore the pain or fear that made such habits necessary. I pay careful attention to ensure that clients feel safe to go through this vulnerable experience--and come out on the other side.

My additional areas of expertise include trauma, EMDR, IFS ("parts work") anxiety, depression, communication skills and issues specific to the LGBTQ community.
Grief is the price we pay for loving deeply and having to let go. It can result from the death of a loved one, end of a relationship, or the loss of a job, home or former identity. Grief can feel simultaneously empty, yet heavy. It can cause confusion of how to go on living a "normal" life. It can also feel like no one else could possibly understand. After a decade of working alongside individuals who were dying, providing counseling to care givers and loved ones, I understand the significant pain and trauma of grieving. I also know how to help in healing and restoring hope.

I'm trained as a relational psychoanalyst and am also a certified EMDR practitioner.
I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.

My practice draws from elements of EMDR, psychodynamic, and mindfulness based therapies.
Searching for a therapist can feel discouraging at times and raise endless questions. What exactly am I looking for? Will I feel understood? Would I even benefit from therapy? I believe that once you find the right fit, the transformative nature of the therapy relationship can help you find your voice and a true sense of direction. I approach therapy from a place of humor, curiosity and an honest desire to help you uncover those places where you feel most stuck in order to build the life that you want.
