Elders (65+) Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

I have been practicing for over 28 years as a couples, family and individual therapist, for children, adolescents and adults. My areas of specialty include relationships, how to manage conflicts, parenting teens, how to maintain intimacy and co-parent effectively, including the difficulties of dating, infidelity, divorce, sex and finances. Individual problems include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, history of trauma, infertility, and other personal issues. Early career work supervising therapists in a court based crisis unit led me to many decades of work with NYC teens and their families.

Making the decision to help yourself through engaging in therapy is a big deal. In our sessions I will listen and assist you in processing thoughts and feelings through a holistic approach, combining humanistic, cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, as well as creative methods. I come from a strengths-based perspective whenever appropriate in order to help build self-empowerment and confidence, as well.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed? Do you feel disconnected from others and wish for relationships that are more solid and fulfilling? Do you struggle with difficulties in communication or experience feelings of being misunderstood? Have you experienced difficult events in the past that affect your current life? Whatever challenges currently bring you to consider therapy, I would like to work with you to alleviate distress, promote positive change, and form stronger relationships. I love the work I do and I feel privileged to see individuals, couples, and families grow, deepen understanding, and change through their experiences in therapy.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Hi, I'm glad you're here! In my therapeutic practice, I work to support all clients in their exploration and healing around issues of gender identity, sex and sexuality, loss and grief, depression, anxiety, cultivating healthy relationships, and self-acceptance. I specialize in therapeutic work with queer and trans clients. I believe that the most important aspect of therapeutic work is the creation of an affirming and safe relationship between therapist and client. In this way, my approach as a therapist is one that first and foremost is warm, kind, and authentic.

I am a licensed social worker and have been in practice for over 15 years. I have experience working with a variety of backgrounds and cultures, from mental health to the geriatric population. My holistic focus is on helping people work through issues that are preventing them from becoming better selves. Using a nonjudgmental approach, all are welcome, together we will work through negative beliefs and get to the root of whatever it may be, freeing you to live your life the way you choose.

If you are dealing with multiple challenges, you need to know how to deal with them. Oftentimes we don't feel like we have a handle on our emotions, or how to deal with our personal/work/family relationships. When such difficulties arise, one cannot function effectively in life. The first step is to acknowledge that you want to feel better, and hence change your thinking and behavior.

If you feel stuck, lonely, powerless, or just curious and motivated for change, there might be no better time than now to feel seen, heard and challenged to grow. Together, we will work to unpack past hurt, cope with present day worries or challenges, and cultivate future success in your personal and professional lives.

You've focused so much on career (and successfully so) that some of the other major pieces of life that you just assumed would fall into place have...well...they just HAVEN'T. I founded The Keely Group (Online Therapy NYC) in 2016 to offer virtual to people whose lives "look great on paper" but are missing something important. Perhaps that's a great romantic partner or close friendships; maybe it's some relief from the chronic (albeit high-functioning) anxiety that keeps you up at night or some balance so as to enjoy the parts of your life that really are great. Regardless, we can help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 15 years of experience working in various health care and non-profit settings. My passion lies in helping those who are dealing with grief & loss in all of its forms, as well as family of origin issues, relationship challenges, identity issues, and generational trauma. My lived experience as a bi-racial Asian American allows me to explore the complexities of being human through a unique and intersectional lens.

I am a social worker partnering with people to make changes in their lives. Creating change can be challenging, and I provide the security and consistency that allows people to grow. I believe that therapy is built on respect, acknowledgment, and reflection where people can develop a clearer picture of their lives, what is working and what could be improved. The support within this relationship allows people to increase their self-awareness, self-compassion, control over their emotions, and coping strategies. Simply regularly meeting with an accepting, non-judgmental therapist can help people feel more at ease in their daily lives.

As a strengths based and patient centered clinician, my existential approach allows patients to discover a stronger and more fitting identity, and identify the obstacles that hinder self-actualization in a nonjudgmental, open-minded forum.
