Individual Therapy in NYC & Brooklyn
What is Individual Therapy?
A Collaborative Process, Not a Protocol
Individual therapy is a sustained, honest relationship with someone trained to notice what you can't yet see about yourself. Not just your history, but the patterns you keep repeating, the story you've been telling yourself, and the parts of you that show up in the room before you're even aware of them. It's not advice-giving. It's the slow work of becoming a more reliable narrator of your own life.
A lot of what matters shows up sideways — in a slip, a joke, the detail you almost leave out. Part of my job is staying with those moments long enough for their meaning to surface on its own, rather than explaining them away too quickly.
Ultimately, it's a collaborative process — not something I do to you, but something we build together, aimed at improving your quality of life.

THE WORK
What to expect in therapy.
We talk about what's happening in your life right now — a relationship that's fraying, a decision you can't make, a feeling you can't shake. At the same time, I'm listening for the pattern underneath the story: how you learned to handle getting close to someone versus pulling away, when you first learned to keep your own needs quiet, the role you keep stepping into without meaning to.
What makes this work effective isn't just what we talk about — it's the rhythm we build by doing it every week. We meet weekly because seeing each other regularly is what lets trust actually form, lets a pattern show up enough times for us both to recognize it, and gives real change room to take hold. Life gets in the way sometimes, and that's fine. But this only works if we keep showing up — the commitment itself is part of what makes the work happen.
Benefits of Individual Therapy
Here’s What Tends To Shift:
▸ You start telling the true story, not the comforting one.
▸ You get better at sitting with not knowing, instead of rushing to fix it.
▸ You get words for what's been stuck in your body.
▸ You start catching your patterns live, not after the fact.
▸ You allow yourself to want two contradictory things at once.
▸ You get a relationship that doesn't run on the old rules.
▸ You realize your history explains you. It doesn't have to run you.

Frequently Asked
-
Individual therapy here is psychodynamic and relational, not solution-focused. Rather than teaching you to manage a symptom, we look at what a pattern is doing and why it made sense in the first place — including how it shows up directly in the relationship between the two of us.
-
There's no fixed timeline. A pattern that took years to build doesn't loosen in six sessions, and I won't promise you that it will. Some people work with me for a few months around something specific; others stay for years. [See the full breakdown on the Therapy Process page →]
-
Weekly, in most cases. Consistency is what allows trust to form, patterns to surface, and real change to take hold.
