My name is Amanda Rozell and I have worked with clients extending from those who have everyday anxiety, general life challenges and worries, to those who have been through trauma, have persistent mental health disorders, and addiction and substance use. Additionally, I have worked with the age range of adolescence up to older adulthood.

**At this time, all of the therapists at Brooklyn Psychotherapy are full. We will update this site as soon as we have openings.** As the founder and Director at Brooklyn Psychotherapy, I understand the difficulty of the human experience and my goal is to assist my patients in learning to be who they are and to cope with the world around them. I have assisted adults, couples, families, and children in their struggle to identify and achieve goals in a comforting, private, understanding environment. There is currently a wait list for appointments, however, you're welcome to check in with us for new openings.

No matter where you are in your life, therapy is a way to alleviate stress and build clarity about your feelings. My goal is to collaborate with you to gain insight, build effective coping skills, and get in touch with your intuition. Whether you've had therapy before, or if you want to try something new, it can be difficult to start. I know many people find it hard to meet a therapist they connect with, but it is important you feel safe in the therapeutic space. I aim to support my clients in better understanding how to break out of cycles, overcome obstacles, and build greater self-assurance.

Having a safe space to be heard, seen is important to the human need for acceptance and love. I like to incorporate these into my practices as the client tries to navigate relationships and situations with no shame.

Starting the therapy process can lead to a fulfilling experience. Whether you are experiencing a crisis, or want to gain a deeper understanding of how you operate, becoming involved in therapy can broaden your life by becoming aware of unconscious influences of the past and their connection to behaviors in the present. Therapy can also be a space for people to approach conflict with loved ones. If you're feeling unsure about therapy, give me a call and we can set up a free phone consultation.

Please note : I do have limited availability and a waitlist, however, I'd still love to hear from you! - In our therapy space, we won't be able to erase any trauma or distressing life experiences. But what we can do is alter how you engage and think about yourself, others, and the world so you can lead a confident life, even if it gets painful. Whether you want to heal your trauma, mend attachment wounds, or become unstuck from overwhelming emotions, I hope as a client you are able to find your inner resilience and embrace the self-healing journey.

I have a servant's heart when assisting others in the pursuit of their full potential. As a psychotherapist and life coach, I view myself as a catalyst for change in my clients' lives. I pro-actively utilize a culturally sensitive, solution-focused approach that is directed toward developing and achieving your vision of possible solutions to your personal life struggles. Sessions are offered both virtually and in a private office setting that allows for social distancing.

Whether you are new to therapy or are returning because your life circumstances have changed, therapy can be an incredible opportunity to learn how to manage your mental health. In a warm and non-judgmental environment, you will find a space to discuss your unique story and the difficulties/concerns that have lead you to start therapy. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, trauma symptoms, or general difficulties in functioning, you will learn tools to help better manage your life.

Hi there! I’m Heydi Hurtado, licensed therapist and founder of Peace Cove Counseling: a faith-based therapeutic space to empower black + brown folk on their journey of healing. Are you burnt out and feeling as if you're "running on empty"? Do you find yourself incessantly preoccupied with the opinions of others? Do you often experience the fear of rejection/abandonment, and have difficulty expressing your feelings + needs? Do you struggle with setting healthy boundaries with others?

Are you an ambitious professional or business owner? Do you tend to be hard on yourself, overthink everything, and set incredibly high standards for yourself (and probably others)? Awesome, so am I! In fact, I call myself a "recovering perfectionist," because while I know there's no such thing as "perfect," I still want to maximize my life and I bet you do too. You're not here for boring or mediocre. You want to experience everything life has to offer while making a positive impact on others. You're extremely resourceful and you've worked so hard, only now you're burnt out, disconnected, and not as happy as you know you can be.

I have 10 years working in the mental health field and have worked with a wide range of populations.

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, so I encourage you to trust your gut as you seek. I have worked with people across the lifespan dealing with life changes, mood/behavioral issues, ADHD, relationship difficulties, complex trauma, and more. People move at different paces of change in therapy, and I will walk or jog with you as a compassionate, relatable, and realistic guide, working from your strengths as a platform of change. Sometimes therapy is hard and sometimes it feels great. You may laugh, cry, reconsider life choices, & change. We'll work through it all, and you will emerge feeling like a clearer version of yourself.

I provide my clients with an environment where they can freely discuss and develop tools that enhance the relationship that they have with themselves and therefore, improve the relationships they have with others in all factors in their lives'.

You don’t have to go through it alone anymore. Are you tired of feeling stuck, stressed, and overwhelmed in your personal life, at work, or in your relationships? Perhaps you want more from life but feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, or past traumatic experiences. Or maybe you find yourself in a cycle of getting into the same unhealthy relationships that leave you drained and disappointed. When you look around you may notice that many people are suffering in silence – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Together, we can help you heal, transform, gain confidence, and move toward the fulfilling life you’ve always wanted.

I provide a holistic, compassionate approach that is tailored to the specific needs of each client. Beginning therapy can bring about mixed emotions and vulnerability, which is why I strive to create a non-judgmental environment where clients feel accepted and safe. My goal is to work with you to bring about lasting positive change. I do this by developing a partnership based on trust and open communication, helping clients strengthen feelings of self-worth and empowerment. Together we will create strategies and attainable goals that will address both your immediate and long-standing challenges.

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment. I support clients through a variety of challenges, such as exploring identity, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, processing trauma, and coping with stress. As a queer, gender non-binary therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing sexuality- and gender-affirming therapy to queer and trans clients of all ages. I prioritize queer joy and gender euphoria in the therapeutic space, and strive to create a safe haven for clients to explore their identities.
