Therapists in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY

Real inner change begins with a conversation with a compassionate, caring other. In connection there is growth. As a relational therapist I listen attentively without agenda or judgment, with the goal of helping you understand yourself and your life story better. Whether your roadblocks are connected to your internal world of thoughts and feelings or external system of relationships, career and family, I am committed to understanding you in terms of your own experience. For over 15 years, I have helped children, adolescents, adults and families experience life with a greater sense of personal agency, ease, clarity and choice.

People often come to see me when they've tried to improve their situation on their own through resources that are readily available such as talking with friends or family. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. Psychotherapy aims at addressing the situation at its core. As your therapist, we would work together to explore and understand your underlying emotional experience, thinking patterns, and outward behaviors for the purposes of preventing future trouble, alleviating current distress, and improving resilience.

Since we were kids, everyone tells us, "be yourself!" If we can just do that, everything will work out alright. But what happens when that simple advice feels impossible? When anxiety, trauma, shame, or a major life change keeps us from fully knowing ourselves, let alone being able to show that to others?

Adrienne is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) practicing psychotherapy and providing clinical consultation in New York, New Jersey, Nebraska, and Florida. She is a warm, attentive therapist who works with you to determine your individual needs and goals and to help you move toward finding clarity, healing, and happiness. Adrienne’s interest in counseling began as a volunteer on The Trevor Project’s suicide prevention and crisis intervention lifeline. Her early career focused on working with LGBTQIA+ youth at The Ali Forney Center before transitioning to an outpatient hospital clinic for adolescents and adults with HIV/AIDS.

I work with adolescents and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, career stress and life transitions, self-esteem and body image, sexuality and gender identity, and relationship and interpersonal issues. I will support you in challenging the thoughts and beliefs that aren’t serving you anymore and creating more space for kindness and change within yourself. We will work together to build all the skills you need to become a secure, confident, and empowered person who feels ready to face all that life has to offer.

The brain, like the body, has a way of healing itself when provided the environment it needs to do so. I offer a calm and nurturing space for us to develop curiosity and capacity for change together. Much of my work is grounded in compassion and self-observation as a tool for both understanding and change. Whether you are looking for a specific change within yourself or seeking understanding in a broader sense, I will provide a warm and empathic environment to explore these issues. My style balances serious reflection with moments for humor and connection.

In a time where we are more aware of burnout than ever, it is necessary to find space for authenticity, play, and rest. My values as a therapist are based in the need to collaborate together for collective healing from the demands of our fast-paced world that prioritizes productivity over connection. Our goal together is to explore the interiors of the mind and body in order to shine a light on the ways we close off from ourselves and others, opening the path to live a more free and expansive life. In addition to talk therapy, I work with somatic practices, including Somatic Experiencing and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.

These are difficult and important times that we can choose to inspire us toward personal growth. Let me help you feel less alone and stronger, develop your relationships, and strengthen your coping skills and immune system. I provide a variety of techniques to help you grow. They include talk therapy, EMDR, meditation, Hypnosis. and a spiritual orientation. All these methods enable you to relax and contact your inner strength and wisdom. Thus, you will be able to find solutions and abilities you didn't know you had to overcome your trauma and loneliness, as well as finding strength and hope.

How do we deeply explore the difficult parts of ourselves with self-compassion and acceptance, while at the same time stretching to grow, evolve, and heal? Can we dare to live our lives in a way that realizes our full potential and what holds us back from doing so?
