Spirituality Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Hello, Looking for a therapist? That takes courage and you clearly have it. With over 14 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in Addiction Counseling. I've worked globally, helping clients with ADHD, Adolescent, Adoption Issues, and more, using CBT, Emotionally Focused, and Mindfulness-based Therapies. I'm in-network with various insurances and excel in Couples Counseling, Depression, Divorce, and Drug related concerns. I'm adept at addressing Family Conflict, Highly Sensitive traits, and even offer support for fellow Therapists. Let's take this transformative journey together.

Are you feeling lost and uncertain even though you appear to have it all together? This can be incredibly isolating. Perhaps struggles with anxiety, past traumas, or societal expectations weigh on your mind. If you're tired of feeling unfulfilled and ready to break free from patterns that no longer serve you, I'm here to help. I currently work with young adults 21+, ready to confront their challenges head-on and reclaim their power. My clinical experiences with familial conflict, intergenerational trauma, stereotypes, and micro-aggressions have equipped me with the skills and understanding to support you in your unique journey.

While life offers no shortage of distress from oppressive systems, personal traumas, and internal conflicts, therapy offers a space to slow down and come further into the wisdom of our present awareness. I work well with introspective people who want to deepen their insight into themselves and get curious about what causes them pain or gets in their way, as well as what brings meaning, joy, and connection. My presence as a therapist is compassionate, inquisitive, and actively engaged. My perspective is IFS-informed and rooted in psychodynamic and mindfulness approaches.

The Healing Collective is a New York-based therapeutic group practice that centers the healing of Black folks, Indigenous folks, and non-Black folks of color. We offer telehealth services to individuals (youth and adults), couples, and families throughout New York and New Jersey. We also offer coaching services throughout the United States. The Healing Collective believes that every being is worthy of healing and that our healing comes from within. We’d be honored if you chose us for your healing journey.

People often come to see me when they've tried to improve their situation on their own through resources that are readily available such as talking with friends or family. Sometimes friends and family can only help so much. Psychotherapy aims at addressing the situation at its core. As your therapist, we would work together to explore and understand your underlying emotional experience, thinking patterns, and outward behaviors for the purposes of preventing future trouble, alleviating current distress, and improving resilience.

Do you feel attached to limiting beliefs, anxiety or unsupportive patterns? Do you feel stuck? I believe awareness is at the root of every endeavor, which allows for a deeper understanding of what you need to feel empowered, connected, and safe in your body to lead the life you desire and deserve. I can help you find direction and build a language around your experiences that feels authentic and regulating. I aim to bring an additional level of awareness to integrate the mind and body into the process to help you access the root of your suffering to feel empowered, liberated and embodied.

Locating a therapist can be a fearful and daunting process, however, once found can be rewarding as you begin to express your deepest and most personal story. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or low self-esteem? Are you experiencing marital discord or dealing with a child who presents with attention difficulties, defiancy or truancy? Do you find it difficult to manage your emotions and set limits for your children? Do you often feel overwhelmed and have noone to talk to? I look forward to helping you resolve your varied issues. Most of all I look forward to empowering you.

I am a Brooklyn-based clinical psychologist and I specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, as well as challenges related to identity, relationship/dating, family conflict, burnout, and life transitions. I am an active and engaged therapist, and my style is warm, accessible, humorous, and pragmatic. Together, we will work collaboratively to understand the “stuck points" and behavior patterns that contribute to your emotional suffering. My focus is primarily on the problems of today, with an eye for understanding how childhood experiences and past traumas shape our current struggles.

Please don’t ask me to help you become "normal" (most damaging concept ever, IMO) because you can and should aim higher than that. But please do ask me for help learning about, and becoming, your very own unique self, in all your beautiful, hilarious, infuriating, idiosyncratic glory. As with most big undertakings, this work can be rough going at times. But if you're like most of the folks who come through here -smart, creative, successful, growth-oriented people who have done a lot of personal work already, whether in an official therapeutic context or otherwise- you are, by this point, more than ready to get into the trenches.

Therapy is a powerful tool to aid in healing emotional pain and creating satisfaction in our lives. We often find ourselves repeating patterns that get in the way of achieving goals. These patterns can cause difficulty in relationships, feelings about ourselves and fulfillment in our work. I practice from a relational perspective which focuses on expanding the capacity to relate and connect freely with others while maintaining a good sense of yourself. This work aims to enhance your relationship with yourself, eliminate painful patterns and allow for increased quality and enjoyment of life.

Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed can be very debilitating, isolating and feel permanent. These challenges can come up in relationships (love, family) and in your profession. You may have tried just about everything you can think of to address your concerns but still don't know how to move forward and resolve things. I can help you find relief. I have a calm, gentle presence that is perceived by many to be nurturing and inviting.

In my over 20 plus years of training, studying, writing, thinking, theorizing, and practicing psychotherapy, I’ve come to understand that the experience of feeling deeply seen, heard and listened to is what facilitates change in us and in our relationships. This may sound simple, but for many of us these seemingly basic human tenants have not been upheld. The process of learning to locate oneself for oneself can be a complex undertaking. It is a unique experience for each individual evolving over time and trust. I have a deep belief in the powerful shifts that this process can bring to our lived experience.

Grief is the price we pay for loving deeply and having to let go. It can result from the death of a loved one, end of a relationship, or the loss of a job, home or former identity. Grief can feel simultaneously empty, yet heavy. It can cause confusion of how to go on living a "normal" life. It can also feel like no one else could possibly understand. After a decade of working alongside individuals who were dying, providing counseling to care givers and loved ones, I understand the significant pain and trauma of grieving. I also know how to help in healing and restoring hope.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I help people identify and eliminate beliefs and perspectives that prevent them from living with love, confidence, and enthusiasm. Anxiety is reduced by identifying causes and applying mindful, body-present skills. Depression is lifted through expression and removing draining blocks that prevent action. Relationships are improved by focusing on communication and eliminating blame, resentment, and individual defenses that block deep intimacy. The more we know about ourselves, the more we're able to let go of old patterns and make decisions that lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Everyone possesses the innate wisdom and ability to heal, grow, and change. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space for introspection and emotional processing, allowing us to better understand ourselves with curiosity and compassion. By gaining insight into our behaviors and patterns, we can use this understanding to guide us toward healthier choices and new directions.

As a creative arts therapist, I am deeply passionate about using art as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. My experience spans a diverse range of clients, from those dealing with trauma, LGBTQ+ identity, struggles with anxiety, depression, addictions, suicidal thoughts, non-monogamous relationships, relational challenges, and a variety of other concerns. I believe that art therapy can help people access their emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop coping skills, all while providing a safe and supportive environment for self-expression and creative exploration. No art-making or art experience required.
