Bisexual Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

In our sessions, we will delve into the complex tapestry of your relationships, exploring the dynamics of intimacy and connection with honesty and vulnerability. From navigating communication challenges to deepening emotional intimacy, I provide practical tools and insightful guidance for you to foster healthier, more fulfilling connections with others and yourself. What excites me most about this work is being able to share space with those within my own communities. As a kinky, queer, Black therapist I recognize that what we need is the opportunity to expand our horizons in an effort to dive deeper into the richness of who we are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 20 years of experience helping clients to work on anything that is getting in the way of their happiness, success, and quality of life, including anxiety, depression, changes in physical health, relationship issues, parenting, and adjustment disorders. No matter what you are experiencing, I am here to help in a safe and judgement-free environment.

We are all out here trying to survive, and even the act of surviving can be overwhelming. The world sometimes feels like it's caving in and you’re not sure what to do. But, you deserve a moment to catch your breath before the next battle in your story. Whether that be dealing with relationships, internal trauma, or just day to day existing. No matter the reason, you deserve a chance to heal yourself and I aim to help you achieve that goal. I am a very engaging therapist and my therapy is designed to help you reach whatever your end goal may be. I want to help you get to a point where you don’t need to see me anymore.

My mission is to support the emotional and mental wellbeing of individuals and couples in the surrounding community.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore the self and develop coping skills in the areas that YOU want to improve and NOT because you need fixing. Together, we’ll foster acceptance of the self, others and the world around us. My goal is to help you have meaningful relationships- with others and especially yourself. Whether it’s dealing with daily stressors or major life changes, therapy can provide essential insight and coping skills to help you get through this time. I am invested in helping you effectively deal with whatever comes your way and ultimately thrive.

Psychological trauma and suffering can be overwhelming, often leaving us feeling drained, hopeless, lost, and alone. If you are feeling stuck in your life, have experienced trauma, or find it difficult to bring your best self forward, reach out to me. I will help support and guide you through the pain. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in various settings providing quality care to diverse populations. I work within a variety of frameworks including CBT, Focusing Oriented therapy, person-centered/ strength-based lenses, as well as within both a holistic and mindful awareness of wellness.

I view therapy as an ongoing process of learning about oneself. Our interpersonal relationship allows for exploration, growth, understanding, insight, and ultimately change. I specialize in working with adult individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, areas of self and identity, and the general frustration of feeling stuck or conflicted. Therapy is --and can be-- for everyone!

I hold a strong commitment to using holistic approaches to healing. Through my extensive clinical work with trauma survivors and background working with young people, I know that talk therapy is not always the most effective method for processing and healing from trauma. I employ therapeutic techniques from Trauma-based Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and somatic modalities to support my clients. As a published author, I often incorporate creative modalities into my therapeutic practice such as creative writing activities, drawing, and clay. Let's work together to figure out which methods work best for you.

Therapy is a journey. As a skilled therapist with over 20 years of experience, I strive to create an environment in which clients can understand the relationship between the past and the present in the interest of addressing current life struggles. With this knowledge, we are able to develop effective coping skills for the complexities and challenges of relationships, work, and life. An integrative approach to therapy allows clients to draw from many areas of strength and to realize the potential for growth.

Many clients are in search of deeper happiness and emotional resilience in their lives and relationships. Often, out of innocence, we look outside ourselves for fulfillment instead of inward, towards our own true hearts. For over 25 years I have worked with couples and individuals seeking a way out of isolation and emotional suffering towards greater joy. This is your time to be on the planet. If you struggle with self-defeating patterns and would like help shifting towards a more vibrant life, please call me for a free consultation.

I work with clients who want to build a life they can love. Many of us come to therapy seeking help through a difficult period, healing from an experience (or a lifetime of them), or relief from a source of emotional pain. As your therapist, I bring empathy and compassion to our work together. You are not to blame for the difficulties you experience and at the same time, healing will mean journeying into difficult areas within yourself. I create a caring and empowering space for that exploration; help you identify, understand, and challenge an oppressive world; and co-create a life you can love living.

If you experience overwhelming anxiety loops, feel the weight of grief, or are impacted by trauma - I might be a good fit for you. I can help by pointing out patterns or themes that I notice, explore how and why the brain is wired the way it is, and help you build up armor to face whatever life throws at you. A typical session with me includes talking, cursing, crying, laughing, questioning, and a whole lot of compassion.

I am most passionate about working with individuals who feel uneasy about their relationship dynamics and want to move toward creating healthy relationships. We can work together to better understand your patterns and help you gain a greater sense of control. I also enjoy working with those going through major life transitions, struggling with all the normal questions of “what parts of myself am I leaving behind?” and “how do I know I’m on the right track?”

You're a highly sensitive person who cares for everyone around you. You have a narcissistic parent and it has been challenging to navigate their expectations. You find yourself giving more time to them while feeling drained by their emotional ups and downs. Sometimes your efforts to support them go unrecognized and you feel taken for granted. But if you ever set a boundary, you are accused of being selfish. They have a hard time seeing your point of view so you leave confrontations feeling guilty. Sometimes you're even worried that you're crazy. You end up binging Dr. Ramani YouTube videos to try to make sense of your relationship.

I aim to support my clients in finding meaning, fulfillment and success on their own terms. I utilize a strengths based approach creating a safe space free of judgement that is built on empathy and collaboration. Working together, we will develop a deep understanding of your inner self while learning to recognize patterns that may be holding you back from the life you deserve. I work with clients who struggle with relationships, anxiety and panic attacks, time management issues, and life-cycle transitions. I also have significant experience with adolescents, parents and foster parents.

I primarily work in individual counseling. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and I come from a multicultural background. Whether it is PTSD, relationship problems, or depression, I am ready and willing to help you and adapt to your needs.

I am a Feminist Experiential Depth psychotherapist. I specialize in trauma resolution, attachment wounds, identity, grief support, and coming into one's own. I support my clients in an “individuation of the heart, that opens one to qualities of life and levels of consciousness previously unknown.” My life’s work is to midwife the unborn in the born—to continuously birth new expressions of self that are authentic, integrated, and empowered. The “midwifery tools” I work with to facilitate this “birth after birth” are: Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Feminist Therapy, Depth Psychology, and Interpersonal Neurobiology.

I do intimate work with individuals, families, and couples from very diverse walks of life. I utilize a relational approach to join with you in a collaborative way: together we will define your concerns, formulate your goals, and develop an individualized plan to support your own empowerment to grow, heal, and become your best self. I am committed to curating an experience for you that is compassionate, mindful, challenging and healing. I keep the communication pathways open at all times to ensure we have a safe space for transparency & readjustments. I am LGBTQIA+, social justice-oriented, anti-oppression and anti-racism. Free PAL.
