When making changes, we have to look further than what’s visible on the surface. I work by helping you better understand how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, along with external forces, impact your day-to-day life. My style is warm, interactive, and empowering. Empathy is essential to our sessions, and I teach patients to treat themselves compassionately. I treat individuals with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma, and depression. I work with couples to learn more conscious, intimate, and attuned ways of being in partnership and better understand their conflicts. Examining our relationships, belief systems, past experiences, and behaviors clarifies where certain thoughts and behavior patterns come from. We can make different choices when we have a deeper understanding of ourselves. Using a psychodynamic lens, I help individuals and couples to create deep, meaningful changes within themselves and their lives. Curiosity is our greatest tool in untangling old storylines and changing the harmful beliefs we hold. I believe that growth, change, and healing can involve joy, empathy, and compassion. Let’s work together to create meaningful, lasting change in your life.

I have had a lifelong passion for sexual health and believe it can be an integral part of our well-being. I hope to help people surmount any obstacles to engaging in the sex they want to have, whether that be due to anxiety or depression, body image or self-esteem issues, challenges with relationships or desire, questions of identity, or sexual difficulties after trauma or STI diagnosis. My goal is to help clients overcome the taboo of talking about sex and sexuality, to free themselves from the sexual shame and stigma that is inherent in our society, and to aid people in finding pleasure in themselves, their bodies, and each other. I have received certifications in Trauma-Focused CBT, Assertive Community Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, and Complicated Grief Therapy, as well as in CPI's OCD, Eating Disorders, and LGBTQ+ curricula. I am a sex work(er) positive, LGBTQIA+, kinky, and poly affirming therapist who uses an eclectic treatment approach tailored to your unique experience. Using a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens, I aim to work collaboratively with my clients towards healing. I hope to foster a sense of safety, respect, and openness in the therapeutic space. It is through this work and deep human connection that you can build your most authentic and fulfilling life possible. Free 15-minute phone consultation available!

I work with folks who are experiencing a range of challenges, including identity and relationship conflicts, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. My practice is sex positive and affirming to folks in queer, kink, non-monogamy, and sex work communities. I welcome clients of all races and racial identities, countries of origin, gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, abilities, and body sizes. I'm particularly familiar with feelings of “otherness” - disconnection from society at large, loved ones, and self. I offer psychotherapy sessions as safe spaces where I help my clients confront these feelings and work to understand themselves, their worlds and their behaviors better. I approach treatment with an appreciation for the diverse range of identities and worldviews held by my clients, and make room for their full expression during sessions. I am attuned to questions regarding gender and sexuality and invite clients who are in the process of exploring these and other parts of self.

Beginning psychotherapy can be a very hopeful but intimidating experience. You may be wondering: What will a therapist make of my story? How is therapy going to really help me feel better? or resolve my problems? My goal is to help you understand what your emotions really are and how they affect your mind, brain and body. We tend to over-focus on our thoughts and tune out emotional experience. What is really healing is to have awareness of both and understand how thoughts and emotions work together to help you feel better or worse depending how you handle them. Our feelings have a potential to cause trauma and every day stress. I can help you connect to your emotions as the path to healing your anxieties, depression, low self-esteem and other life challenges. We will focus on how to work with your emotions in a skillful, productive way so you can meet challeneges of your life and your relationships with more ease I work with a lot of people navigating transitions like dating, decisions to get married, individual and marrital adjustment to becoming a parent, resolving trauma, loss and its impact on your life in the present. I integrate mind-body therapies and bring openness and compassion to every issue we focus on, and share my thoughts and recommendations.

Has your life taken a sharp, unexpected turn at a terrible time? Or maybe you just feel yourself drifting off the path you're traveling and are having difficulty getting back on track. Your vision may be cloudy and that can intensify the amount of distress you feel in your pursuit to returning to your previous level of functioning. What can be even scarier is not knowing when exactly you lost control of the steering wheel or who to rely on in your time of need. Sharing your stressors during an emotionally fragile time is intimidating! I offer warmth, patience, and empathy in my pursuit towards building your trust. Once your hesitancy towards the therapeutic process eases, I look forward to helping you recognize how you can be an agent of change in your own life.

I create a warm and collaborative atmosphere where you can freely explore your lived experiences, anxieties, and hopes for yourself. My approach to therapy involves deep listening. I have trained in psychodynamic therapy, meaning that we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at a profound level to illuminate not only the roots of current suffering, but also help you understand your strengths, passions, and desires more intimately. In our work together, we can better understand your patterns, empowering you to make conscious choices and break free from self-limiting cycles. I work with many adults on issues of identity, dating, and career. My clinical experience also includes working with depression, anxiety, substance use, and self esteem.

I am a licensed psychologist in Brooklyn, NY. I have a hybrid practice and see clients in person and over through telehealth. I work with individuals, couples, and families to provide a space where they can examine their lives and focus on healing their relationships with themselves and others. A goal of mine is for clients to learn how to make deliberate, value aligned decisions rather than reactive, impulsive ones. My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of the relationship between therapist and client as a direct means of change. I pull from an attachment-informed, interpersonal perspective that addresses rigid and maladaptive patterns. Clients learn how to practice effective self-care and explore different coping skills to use in moments of distress. My aim is to empower clients to understand who they are and use this understanding to reach a greater level of fulfillment from everyday life. I earned my Psy.D. from Nova Southeastern University. In addition to a private practice, I also work for the NYPD. The majority of my clinical work has been in civil and forensic hospitals and corrections.

I believe having clarity about the WHY you do, say, and think the way you do begins with denying the narrative that you are too “booked and busy” to peel back those layers of your identity hidden from the world. These are the parts of us that both consciously and unconsciously influence our daily interactions, and keep us conditioned to believe we have to negotiate space rather than command it! Your joy, dreams, and purpose matter, so less pouring from an empty cup and more claiming the life you deserve! I'm Dr. Dominique, a Licensed Psychologist at The Black Girl Doctor, and if any of this resonates with you I'd love to connect! I specialize in creating a safe space to slay self-doubt by changing the narrative. Why? Because we are what we say and what we think! Integrating evidenced based treatment with a short term, strength based, and culturally informed approach, we will laugh, explore, and unpack. We will discuss underlying beliefs, generational traumas, and internalized oppression that keep you from achieving your desires. My aim is to empower you to become your own #goals by being intentional and accountable as the best version of yourself at home, work, and in relationships!

I work well with most people, especially members of sexual, ethnic or other minorities, creative types, people of mixed race or orientation, those who are not easily categorized and don't wish to be. Many of my clients are original thinkers working in creative fields. My work is connecting with you: that's how new ideas and possibilities arise. I enjoy collaborating with people who know what they want and are active participants in therapy. Human sexuality, relationships and social systems fascinate me. For those who practice Buddhism +/or yoga, you can talk about your practice. I practice too. I'm Licensed in NY, NJ, CT, PA & FLA. As a Certified Sex Therapist and systems thinker practicing Solution Focused Brief Therapy, I focus intently on discovering what works for your particular situation & context. What you want is achieved by adding what you know about yourself to what I know about relationships, how human sexuality really works, human behavior and habits. A big part of my work is defining success by your criteria: you decide what your goals are and when they've been met. Since therapy with me should encourage and give you confidence to master future challenges, you schedule only as many sessions as you find helpful. I check in frequently on your progress and make adjustments to make the work is on track.

Hello! My name is Henry. At certain points in life we may hit a roadblock. We have goals & attempt to achieve them, yet feel so lost & confused in the process. These days so many of us are trying get somewhere, to achieve, to transcend, to become. Others may feel they can't even start to formulate their goals & desires due to current or past challenges. I've seen how our past can convincingly deter us from taking action. If you feel like you've been on defense for too long, or you've been trying to reach a certain place with no success, I think I can help. Whatever your struggles, you can learn how to become a better problem solver. So how can I help? For one thing, it's not because I'm licensed. Yes qualifications matter, they keep us up to a certain standard. But at the end of the day it's about the person with the qualifications, not the qualifications themselves. I can help because I've been there. I know what it's like to have goals while simultaneously feeling stuck. And, more importantly, I've learned how to get "unstuck". Since the age of 13, for hours, every day, for a decade, I've been researching the most up to date philosophies & studies that lead to a genuinely better life. No nonsense, whatever you are grappling with we can overcome. Together we will personalize a solid plan that woks just for you. Call to see.

Joseph Campbell wrote that, "Opportunities to find deeper power within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." I applaud the courage it takes to reach out for help, knowing that our first reaction to debilitating fear, pain, and life challenges is often to try to ignore or avoid it. Therapy is an opportunity to suffer less and thrive more, and undergo transformation in the context of a safe and supportive environment. I have over 15 years of work experience, and 10 years of advanced training experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking help for a range of issues and problems. I am known for providing my clients an atmosphere of safety, respect, and openness to overcome life's challenges. Using a full range of therapeutic methods I will join you in finding the best way to resolve what is getting in the way of leading a productive and satisfying life.
