Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Dr. Sarah Hassan specializes in the evaluation and treatment of children, adolescents, and their families presenting with a range of emotional, social, and/or behavioral difficulties including anxiety and trauma, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, disruptive behaviors, and social skills difficulties.

Becoming a parent is a journey that is unique to everyone. There are moments of both great excitement and fear. I provide psychotherapy to individuals along all points of the journey, from the planning stages of beginning a family to supporting parents in the early years of their children’s’ lives. Individuals with histories of trauma, anxiety or depression may have particular trepidations about this transition. Individually or as a family, I can help you through logistics, learn to manage stress, and process the complex feelings that arise as your family grows.

I am a licensed psychologist in New York and Alabama. I work with children, adolescents, emerging adults, and families. I specialize in treating ADHD and disruptive behavior disorders, early childhood behavior problems, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders. I offer individual and family therapy, parenting support, and diagnostic assessments. I am also available for consultations.

My approach to therapy is to help clients change behavior patterns and build a life in line with their values. I collaborate with clients to identify their treatment goals within a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I treat clients throughout the lifespan who struggle with anxiety, depression, child behavioral issues, parent-child conflict, OCD, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions. Additionally, I have experience treating concerns around perfectionism, body image, perinatal/postpartum issues, and family conflict. My goal is to help you get back to living your life with the right tools for success.

Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

I am truly passionate about creating a therapeutic experience that feels like a personalized journey for each individual. I specialize in treating children, adolescents and their families as well as young adults with symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, stress-related problems, life transitions, trauma and relationship issues. I have chosen to focus my practice on this population as I firmly believe that effective communications and coping strategies learned at a young age will have a lasting effect throughout one's life.

I am particularly interested in disrupting maladaptive family cycles and patterns and understand that breaking free of these cycles — rooted in everything from trauma and systemic oppression to the demands of navigating the modern world and family dynamics — is both deeply inspiring and also feasible. Bearing witness to this transformative change in my client’s lives is one of my greatest honors.

Here’s to support. Dance through the tensions and negative messages in your body. Challenge negative beliefs. Assess the calm healthy attachment within. Heal. Nurture you and the "child within" while gaining understanding and self love. I do somatic therapy and help you move towards better relationships ( including the one with yourself). I work with those experiencing anxiety, trauma and those living with narcissism. I work at listening without judgement. Guiding towards change with a self acceptance hug. Inhale light and the easing of burdens. Focus on the here and now. I work from a resilient looking perspective

Depression and anxiety are some of the most debilitating conditions that a person can face. Caught in their grips we may feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. We may start to think that we are broken or that something is wrong with us. Not realizing that such conditions are far more common than we think. What makes it even more difficult is having nobody to speak to about our experience. You’ve dealt with this alone for long enough; let me show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine the dark cloud of depression lifting from your mind. See your anxiety melting away like ice in the sun.
