Therapists in New York

If you're here, perhaps there's something you're curious about - your habits, your patterns, how your past relates to your present. We're curious, too. Our work is psychodynamic, which means we're interested not only in what you say and do, but what you're not saying and not doing. These elusive dimensions of your personality can often have a huge influence on your life, but often you're not even aware of their presence. They "speak" in the form of anxieties, preoccupations, unhealthy relationships, and thought-processes that stop you from understanding who you really are.

Are you feeling frustrated and stuck? Do you sense that you can do better? Are familiar coping responses no longer serving you as well as they used to? With over 15+ years of experience, I provide virtual counseling for adults that is secure and completely confidential. My specialty is in developmental trauma, which can leave an indelible impact on our adult functioning, relationships and bodies. I am particularly interested in studying and treating trauma's impact on men’s sexual development, such as unwanted sexual urges, sexual-identity confusion, addictions and fetishes. These issues require a value-neutral and nuanced approach.

Beginning a journey of emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing can be intimidating. I know because I’ve been there. It’s hard to know where to start when there are thousands of diets, workout plans, and therapists to choose from. The good news is it’s not as complicated as it seems! The first step in solving any problem is awareness which means you are already on your way. I will help you develop the knowledge you need to create a wellness plan that best suits you as a unique individual. I will support you emotionally through the ups and downs of this journey, and help you process past traumas if they are showing up.

I create a warm and supportive environment for you to talk freely about what makes you feel anxious, sad, or stressed. Your life story is unique and I’m an excellent listener. Do you keep repeating the same painful patterns? I can help you understand what you’re doing, do things differently, and get different results. As a non-judgmental observer and trained clinician, I can see some things you probably haven’t. I can help you understand what’s going on in your life and make the adjustments you need to have a more fulfilling life. You won’t be alone on this journey; I will guide and support you every step of the way.

Looking for help to navigate life's challenges and achieve lasting positive change?

I'm a therapist, a licensed psychologist, accepting new patients in my new Huntington, Long Island, New York office. this is my 33rd year in practice, and I love the work as much as ever. Psychotherapy can serve many purposes. It is perhaps the only venue where we can speak about pretty much anything... not just deep dark problems, "issues", unpleasant events, mental disorders or illnesses, but potentials, dreams, a life in which you have more choices available to you, and more ways of pursuing them alone and in relationship with others. Psychotherapy done well is a powerful sort of education, the kind we don't receive in scho

Starting therapy can often feel overwhelming, especially when we are at our lowest and most stressed. I recognize that the connection we share with our therapist is crucial, which is why I value a therapeutic alliance built on trust and acceptance. I aim to create a welcoming environment that utilizes storytelling and humor while creating space for you to be challenged and engage in self-exploration and reflection. As a psychodynamic and relational psychotherapist, I approach my work with curiosity and empathy, recognizing that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors all serve a unique and meaningful purpose.

I view therapy as a chance to solve problems, improve relationships, get support, and increase self-awareness by exploring your thoughts and feelings. I work with individuals and couples using a modern psychodynamic approach. My style is interactive and engaged as we work to resolve current problems and explore how the past has shaped you.

Psychotherapy provides a new way of understanding your experiences and issues in life, which can open paths to self discovery and new possibilities of being. In psychotherapeutic work I embrace an expansive view of the individual that is guided by curiosity, empathy, and creativity. Throughout my training and career, I've worked with diverse populations facing a variety of challenges, including relationship issues, identity exploration, grief, addiction, and life stage transitions. Our work together will help move you towards a life lived with more meaning.

The weight of life’s struggles can feel burdensome, distressing, and at times insurmountable. It doesn't have to be. Working interactively and collaboratively, I will help you empower yourself to move through and resolve anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal challenges from a secure, grounded, and confident place. By approaching your difficulties with a curious and compassionate lens, you will have clarity and a deeper understanding of self that will alleviate your burdens and allow for you to live, play, and love more freely.

Sometimes we encounter challenges in our lives that seem too large to face alone. It is at these times that we can benefit from talking with a therapist. Psychotherapy can help you face those challenges, work through problems, and grow in the process. I offer individual and couples psychotherapy for emotional problems, life transitions, relationship difficulties, substance use issues, trauma, chronic illness, and issues related to sexuality and sexual health. I also specialize in working with Veterans.

Finding someone who truly recognizes the unique nature of your struggles can be challenging. I believe that effective therapy must be tailored to the individual as there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method of counseling. My approach recognizes that the strength of the therapeutic bond is a prerequisite for meaningful change to occur. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal strife, or trauma, I will take every effort to make you feel safe, supported, and heard.

Welcome! I'm a psychotherapist with a private practice in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I provide psychological counseling and consultation services for children, teens, and adults. My practice, Decibel (dB) Therapy Brooklyn, has at its core the theory of neurodiversity, building on the following three concepts: human brains are remarkably diverse, every human brain has value, and strength-based approaches support sustainable growth. When the buzz, the noise, and the crowds are just too much, I can help!

Brianna utilizes a holistic and eclectic approach in her practice by tuning into the mind and body through cognitive, psychodynamic, multicultural, and feminist therapies, as well as incorporating mindfulness and breathwork techniques. We will collaborate to tailor an approach that best fits you in a nonjudgmental environment where you feel supported and encouraged to step into your vulnerability and talk about challenging topics.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and achieve their goals. I believe that within each of us lives an innate drive towards wholeness and transformation. Some people call this drive an "inner healer". Through cultivating greater self-awareness and acceptance of the patterns and behaviors we want to change, I believe we can make way for this natural process of transformation to emerge to live life more fully and authentically.

While change is difficult, it is never too late! My clients have ranged in age through 97. I see both individuals and families dealing with a large spectrum of emotional issues. I am warm, encouraging, a strong motivator, and honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths. To that end, I try to tailor my methods to the individual needs of the client - utilizing psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioral therapy modes. As a feature of my practice, I make house calls to elderly or infirm clients in my local area.

I provide a warm and empathic environment for exploration while constantly encouraging you to integrate new insights, try different approaches, and change repetitive patterns. I will particularly encourage you to focus on your emerging goals with regard to work, relationships, and the pursuit of joy. Together we will continually monitor your progress and motivation for change. I encourage the exploration of existential questions with the goal of helping you to find deeper fulfillment in your work and relationships.
