Anxiety Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
I work with individuals on issues including depression and anxiety, crisis management, life transitions, stigma, addictive behaviors, aging, chronic illness, and loss and bereavement.
As we age, whether we are in our twenties or our seventies, we continuously seek internal emotional stability and relational continuity within our complex and rapidly changing world. A committed therapeutic relationship can help you achieve this stability and reach your treatment goals. I can help you free yourself from the familiar unhappiness that comes with externally placed expectations and to construct a new narrative that reveals a more powerful and authentic "self," and brings about more positive results in your life.

Life transitions such as the ending of a relationship, or a job loss, can feel intense, and the grief you experience may be as deep as the death of a loved one. The loss you feel is profound. You feel sad. You feel anxious. You question why it happened. You aren't sure how to grieve, or even if you should. Phrases like, what if, and should have, become repeating thoughts that keep you up at night. It is natural to grieve any change in your life, even if you made the decision. Grieving is important because it provides closure and enables you to move forward. Grief is the necessary path we walk in order to heal.

Most of the clients I see are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, and loss. I dedicated years of my clinical research to find the best possible coping strategies for above mentioned conditions. In my practice, I am using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps patients achieve personal growth and rethink or change the ways they approach different dilemmas. My clinical approach is not only to decrease the severity of current acute symptoms, but to help patients maintain a stable emotional state.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
