I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach - people are unique and deserve personalized care. I have learned to be flexible and creative in my interventions while maintaining a framework that is informed by empirical evidence. My main goal is to figure out what you need and what works for you!

I truly live up to my name, Merry (happiness). I engage in a lot of self-work to help foster positivity in my work with clients. I am attuned to down emotions, of course. However, I help clients work up the emotional scale. Most times, clients feel better after every session. It is good to know that as a new client, the first session is very informational as an intake is required. An intake is a form therapists must fill out about new clients. After the intake session, we can begin working on the presenting problems.

Making a therapy appointment is the first big step and I am grateful to work with individuals, couples, and families while on their journey to prioritize their mental health. Together, we can work on finding solutions and learn healthy coping skills to manage any stressors (depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, etc.). I believe it is important to meet you where you are in your journey in order to provide a safe space where you can be yourself and collaboratively, we can take the steps needed to work towards your desired goals.

I’m trained in psychodynamic as well as cognitive/behavioral modalities and adapt, with you, my therapeutic interventions according to where you are in the process toward a better sense of wellbeing. I approach our work from a humanistic, person-centered foundation that helps guide your innate strengths to discover, or re-discover, your authentic self. I’m a relational therapist and believe that the fostering of a trusting alliance between us is essential to the realization of your unique goals of change and growth.

I believe that therapy is a partnership and I work in collaboration with my clients to understand how we can work together to best support them in overcoming challenges and achieving their goals. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing food and body image concerns, including eating disorders—anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating, and OSFED—disordered eating, body dysmorphic disorder, as well as issues relating to self-esteem and perfectionism. Grounded in compassion and empathy, I work with clients to identify, understand, and challenge the thoughts and behaviors that prevent them from experiencing and enjoying life.

Life can be challenging at times! Feeling stuck is a hard place to be. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions or relationship challenges. Maybe stress, trauma, or parenting issues are weighing heavily on your mind. Know that you don't have to face these struggles alone and I am here to help you. Working with adolescents and young adults, I offer an empathetic, collaborative, and personalized approach to therapy. I approach my clients from a non-judgmental standpoint and aim to make each one feel comfortable and safe, as therapy is often the one space a person has that is truly only for them. My goal is to create an environment where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we will identify problems, create goals, cultivate understanding, and move towards healing and happiness.

I offer psychotherapy for adults at any stage in their therapeutic journey, from those who are navigating major life transitions or relationship difficulties, to those who are healing through trauma, anxiety, or depression, to those who are feeling stuck and aren’t sure how to take the next step. In addition to my work as a therapist, I have a background in creative arts, performance, and worked for many years in the service industry. I work with clients to cultivate curiosity, creativity, and playfulness, traits that are often lost or forgotten during difficult times or experiences. I aim to be a true collaborator by spending time really getting to know you, deeply listening to your therapy goals, and jointly creating a plan for treatment.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience that is tailored for each individual. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and their families and support systems. I specialize in working with youth presenting with a range of emotional or behavioral difficulties including anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, challenging behaviors, and comorbid issues. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Exposure with Response Prevention. I employ my knowledge of evidence-based practices along with compassion, and empathy to work together towards your goals.

My practice is client centered, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed in order to address the individual strengths and challenges of each client, as well as the systems we engage with that have deep internal impacts. I will offer non-judgmental insight in order to clarify and challenge limiting beliefs and patterns, and generate insight and progress. I am passionate about building a warm and safe environment that encourages curiosity, vulnerability, and change.

I am a child therapist specializing in working with children, adolescents, parents, and families treating common mental, emotional, and behavioral health difficulties. I am passionate about working with families to identify each child’s unique strengths and challenges and work together to help them thrive. I am particularly passionate about working with Neurodivergent (ADHD and ASD) children and teens, as well as those with symptoms of anxiety, phobias, depression, behavioral problems, and trauma. I am a LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming therapist.

With a collaborative and trauma-informed approach, we'll cultivate a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and behaviors. Together, we'll address any barriers to living authentically and create a personalized treatment plan. By demystifying mental health, identifying your values, and tuning into your emotions, we'll empower you to achieve your goals.

I provide compassionate and affirming individual therapy both virtually and in person, in Brooklyn, NY. I take a flexible and collaborative approach, with the belief that you are the expert of you. Understanding yourself through therapy can create space to approach life with more self-acceptance, compassion, and joy. I offer support in connecting you with your inner life, and release what does not align with the truth of who you are. My job is to provide an atmosphere of safety and curiosity to explore vulnerable thoughts and feelings in a way that will transform limiting beliefs, and generate insights that will guide your unique ability to create change

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral disorders, developmental challenges, and autism spectrum disorders. The goal of therapy is not to change who we are, but to help us connect with the person we were meant to be. This involves understanding our past experiences, accepting our feelings, and learning new ways of coping with difficult emotions. My goal is to create a safe, fun environment for my clients to fully express themselves without judgment. In doing so, I help individuals and their families overcome obstacles preventing them from leading more fulfilling lives.

As a dedicated marriage and family therapist, I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through challenging times and build stronger, healthier relationships. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe space for clients to explore their emotions, communicate effectively, and develop coping strategies. My extensive training and experience in counseling allow me to tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each client. I am passionate about empowering my clients to overcome obstacles, heal from past wounds, and create a more fulfilling life. If you are seeking support in your relationships or personal growth, I am here to guide you on your journey towards positive change and emotional well-being.

I am passionate about hearing people’s stories. I believe that understanding your own narrative is the key to having agency and control over your life. Each client’s needs and aspirations are unique and warrant individual attention and respect to reach their goals. I place emphasis on client-therapist relationships and fostering a safe and healing environment, and utilize a trauma-informed and compassionate approach. While I draw from many modalities, my practice is rooted in a combination of psychodynamic, inner-child work, cognitive, mindfulness, and somatic processes for those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and abuse.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process, focused on creating a brave and caring space for meaningful growth and change. Together, we’ll explore your inner strengths, uncover patterns shaped by your experiences, and work toward the goals you want to achieve. With a background in sport and performance psychology, I have vast experience working with individuals in performance-driven environments, including athletes, performers, students, and working professionals. I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, providing affirming support and ensuring that all aspects of who you are feel seen and valued.

I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I want you to feel safe and empowered to bring your full self. As an LGBTQ+ and Jewish clinician, I cultivate an environment that affirms your dignity in your identities, backgrounds, and perspectives while you work to navigate the world. I speak Hebrew and English and provide therapy in both languages. I believe in the power of resilience even in the most challenging of times. With a holistic approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, uncover patterns, and develop practical strategies for goal-setting and lasting change.

It is a privilege to journey with you from a place of mental, emotional or behavioral difficulty, whatever your dilemma, to a place of healing and hope. I’ve worked in community mental health supporting clients with profound challenges, including childhood trauma, persistent mood dysregulation and self-harm tendencies. I am a family therapy instructor at the Ackerman Institute and have a particular love for helping families and couples communicate more effectively. For many, faith and spirituality are indispensable in healing, and I will celebrate and join you in integrating faith as a tool in your healing journey. I offer a place of welcome, safety and hope.

The decision to see a therapist is one of the most profound choices you can make, because it means you have decided to change the course of your emotional life. As humans, we are wired to feel emotions deeply, and sometimes we can be overwhelmed by their power. I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles. I specialize in a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, and life transitions (including career change, midlife, grief, and loss). My therapeutic approach is client-centered and holistic, considering not just the symptoms you're experiencing, but also your unique circumstances and goals. My goal is to help you develop the insights, skills, and coping strategies you need to overcome your challenges and lead a more fulfilling life.

My work is built on trauma-informed cultural competency and understanding the many barriers to care specific to minority communities. Although our culture prioritizes physical health, we rarely discuss mental health. This can make it hard to have kindness and compassion for ourselves and/or our partner when we realize we’re struggling mentally or emotionally. I am trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, including Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, EMDR, Psychodynamic therapy, EFT, and the Gottman method for couples. I tailor unique plans for each individual client or couple in order to empower them to better understand themselves, achieve their goals, and feel more fulfilled.

I believe therapy should be a safe and non-judgmental space where thoughts and emotions are further explored to develop insight and to achieve self-compassion. Through this process, I believe in a collaborative relationship where your values as a person are prioritized in the therapeutic space. I work through the cultural lens in understanding the cultural barriers that minorities may be facing since at times discussing mental health in a family system becomes difficult and can lead your authentic self to become broken. I am passionate about working with adults suffering with depression, anxiety, life transitions, breaking cultural barriers, and eating disorders. I am trained in CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapies. We will explore your past, develop insight, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and use evidenced based practices to achieve your goals and foster change.

I take a relational approach to therapy, recognizing the therapeutic alliance as a foundation for growth and change. In a compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative space, we’ll explore your thoughts and experiences with authenticity and curiosity. My practice is informed by parts-work (Internal Family Systems), psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re building a stronger sense of self, improving relationship dynamics, managing anxiety or depression, or processing past trauma, I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges and fostering a deeper connection with yourself and others.

My joy lies in working closely with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families, offering support through an approach that is warm, client-centered, and trauma-informed. I specialize in helping navigate a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges, such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and challenging behaviors, along with any additional issues that may arise. My training in trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR basic training has equipped me to understand and address the unique strengths and challenges of each client. With a compassionate approach, I recognize and honor the significance of each person's journey, fostering an environment for positive change and growth.

I firmly believe that you are the expert in your own experience, and we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and develop personalized strategies that resonate with your needs and values. I also understand that your needs in the therapy room will likely change over time and I look forward to adapting with you along the way. I will actively listen to your concerns, ask thoughtful questions, and provide guidance and support while encouraging your active participation in the therapeutic process.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapist dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your inner world and gain insight into the many factors that shape your life. I specialize in guiding individuals through difficult life transitions, particularly grief and loss. I am passionate about helping you navigate complex emotions and build resilience. I bring a deep sensitivity to existential processes, providing an understanding space. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, offering person-centered, holistic care.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, focusing not merely on treating symptoms, but on supporting you as a whole person deserving of a safe space in which to feel heard and understood. As an integrative therapist, I draw from a variety of different modalities; my work as a trauma-informed yoga instructor and meditation teacher also influences my practice. My goal is to help you develop improved coping strategies that arise from a place of deeper insight and self-trust, so that you can experience meaningful and lasting change

I genuinely believe that one cannot reach the heights of their greatness, without first exploring the depths of their suffering. There’s power in exploring the painful, the unknown, and the misunderstood. Whatever you may be feeling in this moment, remember that you are a multifaceted and complex individual, changing with every new experience and emotion each day. As a therapist, I consider my work to be holistic, integrative, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I have experience counseling individuals, couples, and families whom may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adverse family dynamics, and turbulent life transitions. I’m quite passionate about analyzing not only “generational curses,” but also generational blessings across the lifespan.

My aim in therapy is to provide a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds, and especially people who are struggling with trauma and addiction. I am trained in trauma-informed care and have experience working with those recovering from PTSD, complex trauma, and substance use. We can process your experiences, and collaborate on tailored goals for post-traumatic growth and recovery. We can do this by processing traumatic incidents, exploring triggers, examining underlying thoughts, and building coping skills.

I provide warmth, nonjudgement, and honesty in our conversations, along with a psychodynamic approach designed to help you achieve insight. Our goal will be for you to recognize and act on opportunities for positive change. After working many years in design, I am well-suited to support creatives with issues like imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and financial instability. I work with people from diverse backgrounds, and I approach each client relationship as a unique opportunity to learn.
