Anxiety Therapists in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY
I have had exposure to treating many disorders including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress-related disorders, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and personality disorders.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling, I obtained my license to provide counseling in New York State in the summer of 2021. This includes practicing for 5 years under extremely professional and experienced counselors, who had been counseling for over 25 years, giving me a range of knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience. I have now been providing therapeutic services for around 8 years in total. I pride myself on using extreme levels of empathy and compassion when counseling. I attribute much of my success as a counselor to my ability to relate and understand my client's needs.

I also have extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and draw on both techniques to help clients reduce symptoms of sadness, low motivation, anxiety, compulsions, excessive guilt and anger.
Things are rarely as bad as they seem when you're anxious, depressed, or when you find yourself in adverse circumstances. Often, a change of perspective can dramatically improve your outlook, increase motivation, curb excessive guilt and build healthy self-regard. By examining negative feelings, behaviors and habits of thought, you can develop insights that bring relief and improve all aspects of your life--love, work and play.

I support adults, adolescents, and children with stress, anxiety, trauma, Autism, and ADHD.
Are you struggling to find balance in your life? Are you looking for deeper relationships? I believe that therapy should be collaborative and improve the quality of your life. It should be a place where you can honestly share your stress and find the resources within yourself to cope. Sometimes, we are able to quickly move past negative events in our lives and, other times, we need more skills. I have advanced training in EMDR therapy to help people get past those stuck points and make deep internal changes. I enjoy supporting people through big life transitions (including starting a career, dating, and becoming a parent).

I offer therapy to adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, obsessive thoughts, trauma, grief, career challenges, and motherhood.
Sometimes along our journeys we learn ways of thinking and feeling that aren’t most helpful to us later on. I offer an opportunity to consider unlearning what isn’t serving us and to find new ways of thinking. Other times, we’d all just benefit from an extra layer of support; time set aside that’s all ours. Most of all, the work we do will allow you to feel some relief, comfort, connection, the opportunity to experience positive feelings, and sit with the hard ones.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and loss that often arise during life transitions.
Talking helps. By talking we create opportunities for change, we enhance our ability to find satisfaction in our work and in our relationships and we become better able to resolve conflicts and alleviate the physical and emotional tension created when we feel anxious or depressed. As a therapist in private practice since 2001 I have learned that the client has the answers; it is up to the therapist to ask the right questions. I have also learned that having a safe place to talk creates the environment needed for each of us to become our own agents of change.

I believe that psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can be immensely useful in helping you recognize and understand deeply embedded ways of thinking about yourself and reacting to others around you. It is often those habitual modes of operating that contribute to anxiety, depression and a life lived below your potential and without contentment. I use the tools of psychoanalysis to facilitate your recognition of these patterns in an empathic and non-judgmental environment.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
