Couples Counseling Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others have a more vague sense that something in their lives is wrong. Both motivations can be an incredible opportunity to learn more about oneself and figure out how to build a more authentic and fulfilling life. I work with clients who may experience anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma. I also assist clients in identifying and breaking outside of societal norms to figure out their true personal and interpersonal needs. With couples, I use a variety of methods to help build stronger relationships.

Hi, I’m Katherine, and I’m glad you found me. I love working with individuals and couples who seek to carve out a path of hope and newly imagined potential for themselves. Whether that’s moving through a transition, trauma, loss, or just wanting to feel “unstuck”, I accompany my clients through the muddy waters of emotions and life circumstances toward greater clarity and new possibilities, finding a more full version of self. Attuning to your own well of intuition and finding a sense of direction within your own dreams is what we can work toward together.

I see therapy as a partnership where we co-create a space that fosters healing, exploration, and growth. In this space, we will work together to help you gain a better understanding of your relationship to yourself and to others. My approach will be tailored to your specific needs through various modalities. These may include: considering how early life experiences have shaped who you are today, understanding how to bring awareness and attention to various emotional experiences, or learning how to examine and hold the many different parts of ourselves that make us who we are.

I make it my primary mission to foster a warm environment with a client first in order to ensure safety and trust. I promote a safe healing environment for individuals of diverse cultural backgrounds using CBT and Psychodynamic Therapy.

I genuinely enjoy working with diverse groups of people and age ranges. I started my career working in a therapeutic foster care agency in the South Bronx. This is where the foundation of my practice began. From there, I worked in a hospital setting that was directly related to community outreach. Simultaneously, I worked for an outpatient mental health clinic, providing individual, couples, and family therapy. I am very person-centered and develop genuine connections with my clients in order to create a sense of safety and trust while navigating their reason for coming to treatment.

In working with couples I provide the opportunity to address and deal with conflict that may be too threatening to wrestle with in day-to-day life and that, because it lays under the surface, gets in the way of a happy and successful relationship.
I believe that psychotherapy lays the emotional groundwork that leads to a more satisfying and engaged life. Many people mistakenly think of psychotherapy as one-sided: the person in therapy talks and the therapist listens. But effective psychotherapy - therapy that heals - works because of the unique relationship that develops between the therapist and the person in therapy. I provide an environment - safe and non-judgemental - that facilitates opening up in new and often unexpected ways and helps you experience and express deepest thoughts and feelings. I have particular experience working with gay men, HIV issues, substance abuse and sexual addiction.

I work with individuals and families experiencing the range of issues that bring people into therapy: depression, divorce, substance abuse, behavior problems, relationship issues, adolescent issues, etc. I work with children, adolescents, and adults; and see individuals, couples, and families.

I welcome inquires and free consultations to determine if my treatment approach and the way that I hold space in the therapeutic relationship feels like something you will feel safe enough to commit to.
You feel like you've hit a wall in your relationships and no matter what you try, you still lose your temper or shut down. You've done a lot of work on yourself and no matter how much you analyze the situation or try new things, it feels like nothing you do is good enough. You've noticed this pattern come up before, but you cant seem to stop it from getting in the way.
