Therapy that doesn't suck? You're not broken and you don't need to be fixed. Sure, finding a therapist is hard, but someone who appreciates that is just the beginning. I'm a Columbia-trained, holistic and non-diagnostic therapist and I work well with those who are suspicious of therapist, prefer to avoid medication, or want to avoid a cookie-cutter approach. I don't start with labeling or plugging you into a preexisting program. I won't put you in a diagnostic box or sit passively while you do all the work.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a master of clinical social work from Columbia University. I have dedicated my professional life to learning experiential approaches that focus on the mind-body connection, attachment theory, and healing trauma. I am passionate about sharing what I have learned through my extensive training, holistic psychotherapy practice, my healing work, and having designed and taught an innovative somatic-based trauma course for social work graduate students.

Starting something new can be difficult. Beginning therapy is often no different. It can be hard to take the first step and can include a lot of conflicting feelings. I provide a supportive, open-minded and non-judgmental environment to help you begin the journey to a better life. Whether your reason for seeking therapy is depression, anxiety, substance abuse, interpersonal or relationship issues, I can help you begin your journey to feeling better.

I am trained in using CBT, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who enjoys working with couples, families, and individuals of all ages who desire a stronger connection with their loved ones. The most important aspect of therapy is helping clients uncover their inherent strengths and empowering them to create lasting change in themselves and their relationships!

Sometimes in life, we face various problems or setbacks that impede our identity, self-esteem, relationships, and/or aspirations. Through therapy, we can safely and quickly develop ways to achieve your life goals and improve life satisfaction. I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore your inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to your present life. In conjunction, I utilize specific ways to help you build your inner resources/skills to cope with daily life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

I believe that building the therapeutic relationship marks the beginning of the healing process. Together we will explore your life and gain a greater understanding of your experience in the world. I use a warm, empathic, patient, and non-judgmental style. I’m a queer woman and I was born and raised by a South American immigrant mother and a white father, which influences my belief in an intersectional approach to psychotherapy. Together we will uncover the many parts of yourself that impact your identity. Creating a space that feels comforting, safe, exploratory, and authentic is important to me as a therapist.

You have the power to heal, grow, and thrive. & I can help! As a clinical therapist, it’s my privilege to hold space for clients as they unpack areas of concern, increase self-awareness, restore balance, and identify strengths they can cultivate to create sustainable change. My clientele come from diverse walks of life. Many are working professionals who are struggling to keep up with the busy demands of life and now feel ready to explore areas they are stuck.

Therapy is an opportunity for connection, understanding, and empathy. I meet every day with individuals who are overcoming worry, sadness, and depression to find greater joy and develop more fulfilling relationships. If you are finding it difficult to navigate close relationships, express difficult thoughts and feelings, or feel that you're not measuring up, I'm here to help.

As social beings, our relationships with others, the world, & ourselves are what give our lives meaning. When we feel disconnected from these parts, we're wired to feel absolute despair. Though powerful, I'm confident that this uniquely human sort of suffering can be disarmed by discovering connection & purpose in our lives- & I seek to help you develop the tools you need to do so. I'm passionate about helping people navigate trauma, addiction, anxiety, relationship turmoil, LGBTQIA+ identity, & self-esteem, among other issues. I blend insight-driven “talk therapy” with mindfulness & emotional regulation practices.

Hello! I'm Dr. Brian Freidenberg. In therapy, I place the therapeutic relationship above all else. The relationship is the vehicle for change. I believe that a good therapist listens well; is empathic; and provides a safe, empowering, and judgement-free environment. The client and I form a partnership to help the client navigate this great adventure called life. My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.

My specialty is to help Individuals and Couples reach their ideal self, while managing the anxiety and self-doubt that inherently accompany life transitions and personal growth. I invite you to experience transformation in your life and relationships in a dynamic way. Growth and change can be painful, and something we all struggle with, even if positive. I bring empathy and a compassionate nature to help make your experience supportive, and result oriented. In addition, given my extensive work experience in the corporate sphere, I provide Cofounder counseling/coaching to address issues impeding their working relationship.

Therapy is a powerful tool for reflection and change. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, my approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sometimes we become stuck in painful or unsatisfying ways of being and need a safe space to learn about ourselves, heal, and grow. Issues I commonly work with include behavioral concerns, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with clients to understand the impact of past experiences on the present, but also focus on the here-and-now in session and incorporate breathing and meditation practices to cope with everyday stress.

If you are ready to take steps towards changing how you feel and interact with your world, then I am here to support you on your journey. You may feel that something is off, your life is not headed in the direction you want it to go in, or you are stuck. Together, we will explore ways to get you past these barriers so you can feel fulfilled and in control of your life. I will help you tap into your inner strengths to work gently and proactively toward change.

Life can be messy. Therapy can be a way to help you navigate the challenges and begin to understand why you may feel stuck or what might be causing your important relationships to suffer. Starting therapy can be both daunting and exciting, and finding the right therapist is key. Together, we will create a space of trust and connection. We will explore what feels most pressing for you right now, as well as look back at old patterns and early dynamics that may be holding you back from greater happiness and ease. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and non-judgmental.

The vision for my practice is to provide a connective environment where clients can explore their strengths along with deeper understanding of their fears, doubts, and shame.

I provide traditional, holistic and transpersonal psychotherapy, empowering people with hope, skills for positive change and a path for total well being. I help Individuals feeling stuck, discontent,and desiring greater fulfillment. Clients love my work. I provide a natural approach to mental health. Working together, blocks and struggles are transformed, unlocking inner wisdom and personal power. For over 30+ years, I offer a compassionate, intuitive presence, healing the root cause of the problem. Clients express feeling greater clarity, integration, self acceptance and inner strength. I also teach inner skills of mindfulness, meditation and spiritual development.

I work deeply and kindly with all life's issues. I help those dealing with relationship concerns, career challenges and life transitions. I also work with those suffering from shame, self-criticism and negative thought patterns which may arise from early abuse or neglect. While it is imperative to address past trauma and correct cognitive misperceptions, treating these issues also requires the development of self-compassion. With warmth and empathy, I will help you nurture self-acceptance, cultivate compassion and understanding, allowing you to become a more authentic and contented self.
