Relationship Issues Therapists in Brooklyn Navy Yard, NY

Pregnancy is a time of transformation as changes take place in the future mother’s body, relationship with her partner, social and work life and environment. Parents have to adjust to their rapidly changing world and to a new little human whose survival depends on them. They often feel inadequate because they are not quite sure what they are supposed to do in this new role, and having a baby can be a very challenging and isolating experience. Some parents experience anxiety and depression as well as difficulty bonding with their baby.

Hi there, I am Lauraine, a psychosomatic practitioner passionate about helping people connect their minds and bodies for a more fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that true healing involves understanding the deep connection between our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Together, we will explore the root causes of the challenges you are facing. By working with your nervous system and body sensations, we can uncover and release behaviors and patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is to support you in finding new ways of being that promote balance, peace, and self-awareness.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals struggling with mental health issues and other stressors.

You're single, and haven't found your soulmate, or you're in a committed relationship that's impossible. You're depressed, anxious, and have low self-esteem. You or your family has suffered through a historical trauma and you still feel like a victim. You've been trying to conceive, and nature or your partner is uncooperative. You've lost your sense of how to cope and move forward. If any of these concerns are holding you back from realizing your potential or expressing your creative talents, then perhaps it's time to receive some insight, support and hope from a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with 35 years of experience.

Life can get complicated & relationships can be hard. Sometimes what comes up is too much to hold alone. I offer a supportive space for people to grow through their challenges and pain. I’ve helped people gain insight into where they feel "stuck", become more engaged and present, and make positive changes in their lives by tuning in to their internal compass. In addition to talk therapy, I offer Ketamine-assisted therapy & psychedelic preparation and integration to help people process and integrate insights gained from their journeys.

People who come to therapy want a safe place to openly discuss problems or recurring themes in their lives that they don’t feel they can talk about fully and freely with other people. But they don’t just want to talk. They want active help thinking through where things have gone wrong, where their blind-spots might be, and what they can do to get to a better place – a place that not only feels livable, but actively good. They want to have good relationships, self-respect and self-esteem, a sense of optimism and bravery, and a feeling that they can take on whatever the world throws at them.
