Feminist Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

People may seek out therapy because they feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, unable to identify and articulate their wants and needs, or simply because they want to better understand themselves and live more intentionally. Whatever your reasons for exploring therapy may be, you are likely curious about your own potential for growth and change. I have tremendous respect for all of those I work with for showing up for themselves to explore this potential that we all possess.

I am passionate about creating a comfortable and validating therapeutic environment where you know that you are free to be your most honest and open self. I am genuinely invested in getting to know you while nonjudgmentally exploring and supporting your unique complexities and challenges. In a therapeutic relationship, I value down-to-earth communication, humor when appropriate, and authenticity. I hope that from the very first day we work together, you get the sense that you are no longer alone in carrying any burdens weighing on you. We will be a team and navigate everything together.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a dacade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I make sure that all my time with clients feels genuine and personable. I find it a lot easier, and frankly more fun, when you can enjoy talking with your therapist, and the mental health work doesn’t feel like a chore. I primarily work from systemic theories, and incorporate solution-focused work into my practice. After a thorough exploration of presenting issues, I aim to set clear goals for therapy in the initial sessions. I find it is important to evolve solution attempts to get change started.

Despite our best efforts, life can become overwhelming at any point. The everyday stress we experience can make it difficult for us to live the life we want. As your therapist, my goal is to encourage self-reflection and identity exploration as you process previous and current experiences. My approach to therapy is inclusive, non-judgmental, and culturally affirming. We will work together to better manage negative emotions, and to build new tools for a more empowered life.

Hi there! Glad you’re here! As a therapist, I specialize in creating realistic goals that are unique to you, taking into account the social barriers you may face. This is a time during which racial tension, class warfare, and a global pandemic has uprooted everyone’s lives in one way or another; it is no surprise that our mental health is in dire need of attention and care. I want to design a safe space for you in which you may nourish your creativity, motivation, and help you develop the tools you need to care, respect, and honor yourself every day. Every step forward is an accomplishment worth celebrating.

Do you feel trapped in repetitive routines, struggling to break free? Are anxiety, depression, or past traumas weighing you down? Perhaps you're facing challenges in your relationships, dealing with grief, or wrestling with questions of identity? I'm Alexandria, an Associate Therapist at Salt River Therapy. I specialize in helping individuals navigate these complex issues. Our sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences are honored and explored. Together, we'll delve into your thoughts, emotions, and concerns to uncover the underlying causes of your struggles.

You might be reading this because you feel like you’re only sharing the parts of yourself that make people feel comfortable, or you’re missing the playful, creative parts of yourself in your day to day life and relationships. Maybe somewhere along your journey you learned to conform your uniqueness or dismiss your feelings in order to belong. You stay silent in meetings, constantly judge yourself, and go with the flow even when it means betraying your own needs. All of this overthinking takes up energy and, worse, can leave you feeling small, alone, anxious, and like you're always hiding something. You deserve to feel fully seen.

Relationships, whether familial or romantic, are arguably the most challenging and fulfilling part of life. My practice is geared toward helping individuals, couples, and unconventional families recover from complicated relational histories. I draw from a decade of community organizing and training in trauma-informed care to support clients in their efforts to develop greater confidence, communicate more effectively, and resolve longstanding conflicts. I especially love working with misfits, black sheep, rebellious women, and folks striving to break patterns of intergenerational trauma!

When you choose to begin therapy, a match is pertinent to growth and change. I am direct, warm and will help you confront some of the more challenging aspects of yourself. My goal is always to facilitate living the best life you can. Keeping that in mind, therapy can be demanding at times, and requires a lot of patience with yourself and with the work; We will learn together how to communicate about what is happening in therapy beyond the conscious words that are used.

Do you feel like past hurts trigger current patterns in your life? Are you tired of carrying the weight of the past and want increased freedom in how you express yourself to those around you? As a clinician with years of training in post-trauma recovery and growth, I've guided many on their journey of self-discovery, transforming relationship with self/others and healing pain that hinders self-expression. My own journey allows me to understand the pain you are feeling and to offer you the support needed to feel better. Therapy at first glance might seem daunting but together we can create a space where you feel safe, free, and seen.

Our mission is to extend quality, affordable mental health services to sexual, racial, and gender minorities in New York State. We want to provide a place where people from all walks and life can feel safe and understood while receiving mental health care from a dedicated, nonjudgmental professional.

It takes significant strength to take the first step in initiating a connection with a therapist. I view all clients as experts of their own experience and I will follow your lead in establishing a treatment plan that will bring you closer to your personal goals. My experience as a trauma therapist includes 10 years of providing supportive services to survivors of crime and interpersonal abuse, as well as individuals impacted by depression and/or anxiety. I have 5 years of experience providing clinical supervision to other clinicians including rising social workers and seasoned trauma-focused providers.

I am passionate about helping adults navigate their complex inner worlds. I enjoy working with those who project confidence and self-assurance in various areas of life yet privately battle anxiety, depression, or grief. I especially enjoy working with women to better understand how their mental health and reproductive health journeys are intertwined. If you are struggling with peripartum depression and anxiety, PMDD, infertility, perinatal loss (including abortion and miscarriage) I may be a good fit for you.

With an interactive, warm, and accepting approach I have been helping clients find healthy perceptions of themselves. No single approach is the right one for everyone, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities including motivational interviewing, CBT, and REBT.

I offer a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for clients. As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming clients. I know how important a good therapeutic experience is, as my own positive experiences in therapy inspired me to become a counselor.

Are you struggling with self-doubt and self-criticism? Maybe you are trying to heal from trauma or attachment wounds and don't know where to turn. I work with youths and adults of all ages who are feeling stuck and in need of renewed hope and real life tools. Using relational neurobiology and mindfulness, I help clients build a positive relationship with the self that can be carried into all aspects of life. Let's rewire your brain and create a life worth living!

As a Licensed Therapist and EMDR specialist, I offer a unique, holistic approach to mental health and healing. I integrate Eastern and Western philosophies by mixing traditional therapy, coaching, and spirituality to help individuals better understand their inner world, befriend their nervous system (instead of working against it), and navigate changing relationships. I also specialize in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and offer psychedelic integration support. Through my years of professional practice and my own personal work, I have cultivated an approach that meets each person where they are on their healing journey.

Making the choice to begin therapy is a radical act of self-love and community care. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a supportive, affirming space where clients can explore and better understand their challenges, and cultivate a more trusting relationship with themselves. My speciality is in treating trauma, the impacts of emotional and physical violence, and anxiety. I also work with clients navigating relationship stress, life transitions, burnout and self-esteem issues. In our work together, we’ll expand on your inner strengths and resiliency, while exploring the challenges you are facing with compassion, humor and courage.

Do you struggle with feeling good enough? Do you notice that no matter what you do or change about yourself that nagging shame voice never goes away? Or maybe you know you are good enough as you are, but don't always act on that knowledge and belief? I help adults like you get off the hamster wheel of self-criticism, shame, and judgment and start living a life full of empowerment, insight, and self-compassion. If you're tired of feeling like life is running you rather than the other way around, I am here to help. I practice through a social justice, HAES, and trauma-informed lens to make sure there is no part of you going unseen.
