Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I utilize a mix of humor and empathy in sessions, and focus on empowering my clients. I use only evidence-based interventions, and I take my clients' lead as to whether they prefer a more passive, listening approach or if they want to set goals. I can assign weekly tasks to achieve goals or take a less active approach. I am licensed in New York and New Jersey with 17 years of experience helping adults and adolescents with depression, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and bipolar disorder, among other conditions.

I work with a variety of people whose active, creative lives have been interrupted by depression, mania, anxiety, mourning, and trauma. Psychotherapy with me is a process of guided expression. Thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice – loud, clear, and without judgment. The experience of formulating authentic verbal and emotional expressions can be transformative in and of itself. Also, as patterns in your way of being become clear, you can begin to consider alternatives, find courage to change, and experience what is commonly known as freedom.

My approach is collaborative and relational, taking into consideration that every individual's challenges are unique and require a customized approach.

This is the foundation of my process, and it leads to more autonomy in solving one's own problems and facing challenges.
