I am the founder of Brooklyn Somatic Therapy with certification in the Hakomi Method and Emotion-focused Couples Therapy.
Have you tried therapy before, but found that it didn't quite work for you? Maybe you stayed with one therapist for too long and never saw the results you were looking for. Or maybe you found that "just talking" about your problems wasn't moving you toward the change you were hoping to make. If you are hungry for personal growth and willing to work at it, the breakthrough you're seeking is within reach. At Brooklyn Somatic Therapy, we integrate a mindfulness-based, experiential and somatic approach to psychotherapy.

I offer individual, couples and family therapy.
Therapy is an opportunity for you to work on developing how "you want the next chapter of your life to read". I have over twenty years of experience in working with people to help them work through many different issues in their lives, both from their past and/or their present. It is very important to understand the stress that a person is experiencing and develop positive skills to decrease and manage the stress. I work with individuals to create a positive plan to master these skills.

Hello. My name is Yael Sommer. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience spanning over two decades. While I possess experience working with individuals across all age groups, my current practice focuses mostly on adults and couples. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from various theories, such as attachment/relational dynamics, client-centered therapy, strength-based approaches, and cognitive behavioral theory. The specific approach I employ with each client depends on their unique concerns, the duration of their therapeutic engagement, and their desired outcomes.

I welcome complex individuals facing difficult issues. I help clients move through major life transitions, find ways to heal after experiencing loss, and address defeating patterns to improve relationship to self and others. Working with me, you'll find a warm and sensitive space, welcoming and appreciating you for being yourself. My approach looks to recognize ways of living in the world that once worked well for you. In identifying your unmet needs or desires, we will find the right balance of support so you may be challenged to create new and flexible patterns that offer you more choices.

I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults coping with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, challenging life circumstances, life transitions, relationship issues, and trauma.
Reaching out to a therapist can be a daunting task. It is difficult to make changes and break unhealthy patterns and anxiety and depression can feel crippling. Therapy can play a large role in helping individuals lead happier, more productive lives. We all face challenges but with the proper support, your challenges do not need to define you or stop you from achieving happiness and success. I believe in treating each patient as an individual. While my orientation is primarily psychodynamic I also use Emotionally Focused Tapping (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Brynley believes the most important role of a therapist is as facilitator. In every interaction she is most concerned with creating a safe space that will allow insight to naturally arise as you walk your own individually tailored journey to healing and wellness. She believes the relationship between therapist and client is the most important ingredient in a successful treatment. Above all else, Brynley prioritizes connection, curiosity, communication, and empathy.

Together, we can work towards meaningful change, helping you build the tools and insights needed to thrive in your relationship with yourself, others, and work.
Psychotherapy invites us to compassionately explore our personal history, deepen our understanding of ourselves in the present, and discover the strength to transform our future. I use a healing philosophy that considers the complex intersections of power, identity, and social context that inform our daily lives and experiences of pain. I specialize in helping adults navigate issues related to identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, gender, sexuality, and relationships.

My work is influenced by my training in relational psychoanalysis, and I specialize in working with perinatal mood disorders, adults, couples, and adolescents.
Through both my psychoanalytic training and my training as a creative arts therapist, I treat each person as an individual and we come up with a treatment plan together. My patients are often dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, identity formation, trauma, and attachment issues. My view of therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to help you increase your self-esteem, have a greater understanding of yourself, and be able to have healthy and long-lasting friendships and romantic relationships.

My specialty is short term Couples Therapy. If we want to feel safe in working out our difficulties, we have to learn some communication techniques that work. The first goal in therapy therefore, is to begin to talk to each other in a way so that even if we're not necessarily agreed with, its a relief to finally be heard and understood. Working out solutions can proceed from there, but only when its safe enough to be open and honest. Learning and using these techniques is a tremendous growth experience both individually and as a couple. Results can be seen almost immediately and consolidated in 4-6 sessions.
