Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I am LCSW specializing in healing from trauma, overcoming depression, building self confidence and managing anxiety. I am trained in EMDR and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness based techniques. Offering fully remote therapy sessions to support your mental well-being. Let's embark on a transformative journey towards inner peace and resilience

I am deeply passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and empowering them to live authentic and fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with maladaptive behavior patterns such as eating disorders and substance abuse, and common co-occurring issues including low self-esteem, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. I provide a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free space to explore thoughts, feelings, experiences, and vulnerabilities. My goal is to engage clients in a process of self-reflection, self-discovery, and positive change in order to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing.

Most therapy approaches focus on understanding ourselves intellectually, thereby engaging the left side of our brain. Yet, sustainable change happens through whole-mind integration, where the body, brain, as well as relational field are parts of the healing process. Using a blend of Somatic Experiencing®, Trauma and Attachment Therapy, Depth Psychology, and Dream Analysis, Somatic Counseling offers the body and psyche the support needed to discharge, renegotiate and reorganize locked-in fight, flight and freeze responses that are stored in the nervous system. A process that is compassionate and respectful to your needs and rhythm.

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).

MK's therapeutic partnership history is with folks who have not seen themselves reflected or heard in traditional wellness or therapy spaces. Some focus areas are: Complex Trauma, Highly sensitive/empathic folks, Strengthening self-compassion & building shame resilience, Navigating liberation & justice-, trauma informed work -Fat liberation + supporting those recovering from diet culture and fat stigma, Furthering gender, racial & body liberation. MK's approach combines person centered, empathic frameworks, attachment therapies and expansive trauma informed CBT and DBT.

As you embark on the courageous path of self-discovery and healing from trauma, connecting with a caring, collaborative, skillful therapist is a crucial first step. With years of experience, I offer a warm, reflective, and compassionate safe space for you to explore your deep inner feelings/emotions, and become aware of thoughts, beliefs, behavior patterns that may no longer serve you. If you have been suffering from anxiety, depression, self-sabotaging thoughts, overwhelming emotions, psychosomatic symptoms, and relationship challenges, I invite you to reach out for support and guidance—and not to struggle or suffer alone.

If you are seeking a therapist with an integrative approach, I offer relationship-based psychotherapy that is rooted in mindfulness. My style is compassionate, caring and collaborative. Together we can work towards your therapeutic goals and strengthen your connection to your vitality.

Are you looking for an affirming space to better identify and cope with psychological pain and develop coping skills and self-discovery practices? In my practice, I meet your individual needs in a person-centered approach specializing in somatic healing in folx of all ages, integrative play therapy for children struggling to identify and regulate big feelings, DBT, and cognitive coping skills for teens and adults dealing with emotional distress and impairment of daily functioning due to anxiety, depression, trauma and other mental health-related issues.

I offer a relaxed therapeutic environment where you can process feelings at your own pace while gaining tools to navigate challenges. My specialty areas include anxiety disorders, trauma, depression, interpersonal/relationship issues and life transitions. The therapeutic style I utilize combines trauma focused approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and person centered interventions based on the specific needs of each client.

Therapy is a journey that offers us an opportunity to gain perspective and aid in the facilitation of change. It takes courage to make this investment in one's self. With the therapeutic relationship, we can foster a better understanding of ourselves, create more fulfilling relationships with others and cope better with the difficulties of life changes. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empathic and holistically focused. Utilizing a strengths based perspective incorporates varied treatment strategies; therefore, therapy is uniquely tailored to reflect an individual's intrinsic strengths and potential for self-actualization.

If life has felt particularly hard or upsetting recently, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a psychotherapist, I meet with people living with anxiety, depression, grief and more. I frequently work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma, helping them to understand past experiences and thrive in the present and future. My clients have often realized that their current coping skills are no longer working, and in seeking therapy are taking an important, difficult and necessary step to feel better.

I work with creative thinkers and queer adults to restore trust in your instincts so that you can make choices that are aligned with your values. We are born the innate ability to heal and a strong capacity for connection, pleasure, and creativity. Many symptoms that torment us (depression, rage, panic, anxiety, shame, obsession) feel unbearable, especially when the world feels unsafe or when we feel isolated, so we leave our bodies to be taken over by the symptoms. Therapy is an incubator for restoring these capacities, returning to our bodies, reconnecting with other people, and creating a life worth living.

Available for clinical supervision; waitlist for new clients. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . My clients are those feeling the many impacts of lived, intergenerational, racial, or systemic trauma; they are motivated by curiosity and optimism for change to seek out immediate coping skills as well as deep personal reflection. Together in therapy we explore what keeps them from feeling fulfillment, develop tools to help break down those barriers, and celebrate incremental change each day.

Perhaps you are you seeking support to feel more empowered in your life, maintain healthier relationships, or develop more adaptive self-care and coping practices. Perhaps you would like to heal from past trauma, deepen your understanding of self, or find a career path that better suits your strengths. If any of this resonates with you, then you have made the right choice by considering therapy. I believe that the therapeutic process can be beneficial when there is warmth, compassion, and collaboration. My goal is to foster an environment that can allow you to explore, heal, and grow.

My focus is in assisting individuals to incorporate mindfulness in daily life and to improve overall quality of live in addition to assisting individuals in developing coping skills to improve interpersonal conflicts. I engage clients in a person-centered approach and explore with clients early developmental conflicts that impact daily life and assist clients in developing adaptive approaches to resolving conflicts in daily life. I also provide somatic processing to assist individuals who have suffered trauma. I have years of experience providing supervision to students and limited licensed professionals who are in pursuit of becoming fully licensed mental health counselors.

Hi! Welcome to Sex Positive Therapy! I am a sex positive therapist and supervisor working with a wide range of issues. I have been practicing since 2006 and worked with a wide range of issues. I am a unique and eclectic therapist that challenges my clients to move towards emotional/behavioral change and work on their core attachment issues. My areas of speciality are: Borderline Personality/Narcissistic Personality disorders, Trauma/PTSD/CPTSD, Abuse/DV, Gender/sexuality, ENM/Poly, Kink/BDSM, and/or LGBTQIA+ folx. My approach is client focused and collaborative and I see my work with clients as a journey we take together.

Do you -- or someone you love-- have trouble staying focused, keeping track of things, being on time or managing interruptions? If you're concerned about a youngster, is s/he smart but getting mediocre grades? Does s/he daydream, take too long to complete homework, forget things frequently? Does s/he blurt out answers precipitously? Or leap before s/he looks? These are problems everyone has at times, but if these things have been happening for a long time, happen very often and are severe enough to impair a person's natural ability to function, it could be ADHD.

Hi there! I'm Aili (rhymes with smiley). I help people who feel lost, stuck, or otherwise thrown off balance. I guide people with "toxic" relationships to identify their needs and build up boundaries. I support people with overwhelming anxiety to find relaxation and peace. I help people with intrusive negative thoughts to discover purpose and enthusiasm for life. I ease the pain and suffering of traumatic experiences through evidence-based therapies. If you're looking for an empathetic, affirming therapist, let's connect!

While our personal histories may inform our current struggles, it does not define who we are, or who we may become. Using an client-centred approach, I believe strongly in the power of self-efficacy, attachment theory, developmental psychology, family systems and neuroscience. Guiding my practice with trauma informed care, I assist clients in developing their unique resilience story. This begins with relational connection, warmth and radical acceptance co-created in the therapeutic environment.
