Self Esteem Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Welcome! I'm Natalie, a psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults who are navigating relationships, dealing with self-esteem issues, and are searching for more meaning in their lives. I work well with young, creative professionals who are eager to learn about themselves, address undesired patterns, and who are looking for support in piecing things together. While anxiety, depression and relational conflicts are very common, it doesn't make them any easier to navigate. Understanding the root cause of these issues can help us find relief from symptoms and help us build a foundation of compassion and understanding.

Hello! I'm glad you're here. You’re likely looking for a psychotherapist for yourself or a loved one. I see individuals and couples across the lifespan with an additional specialization in adolescence and young adulthood. I am adept at helping clients navigate through feelings of depression, low self-esteem, body-image, and anxiety.

I specialize in working with youth and adults who are experiencing significant life changes such as traumatic experiences, grief and loss, transitioning to a new profession or location, and identity exploration, to name a few. Going through changes and transitions is hard, and can often bring up difficult or unwelcome thoughts, feelings, or behaviors such as depression, sadness, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem.

Welcome! My name is Ayanna and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Brooklyn, NY. I have an online psychotherapy practice where I utilize a mix of traditional talk therapy and trauma-informed practices to my work with individuals looking to overcome the effects of adversity and childhood trauma. I also offer support in navigating interpersonal/relationship challenges, family conflict, self-esteem, and personal growth.

The focus of my practice is to help others overcome low self-esteem/confidence, relationship or interpersonal issues, a sense of disconnection, difficulties with school or career, "impostor syndrome," and the pressures of starting a family. These issues often entail finding a helpful way to cope with anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficult emotions.

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 believe everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life's difficulties. As a therapist, I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to collaborate with my clients in doing the challenging work of looking at and healing from wounds, changing problematic and unhealthy patterns and cultivating a more fulfilling life. I invite you to begin this journey towards healing and growth by visiting my website to book a session.

Let’s use your thoughts to shape your reality and interpret events in a more positive empowering way. It's your turn to make a change! I am here to help refine your definition of YOU.

With over 20 years of experience in the counseling profession, including a career as a counselor educator, my approach in working with clients is person-centered, humanistic, and eclectic. Each client is an individual with unique needs and concerns. Through the therapeutic alliance and building professional therapist-client rapport, the client will formulate goals to guide the counseling experience. Various counseling approaches and techniques may be utilized to meet the client's specific needs and goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, existentialism, and motivational interviewing are also of particular importance in my practice.
