I am a licensed psychoanalyst in NYC. Prior, I practiced psychology in Europe, working with local and expatriate communities in Budapest. Over the years I have specialized in marriage and couples counseling, guided imagery (a form of hypnotic therapy) and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I currently work with individuals and couples in English and Hungarian.

Psychotherapy lays the emotional groundwork that leads to a more happy and satisfying life. Many people think of psychotherapy, especially some kinds of traditional psychotherapy, as one-sided: the person in therapy talks and the therapist listens. But effective psychotherapy – therapy that heals – works because of the unique relationship that develops between the therapist and the person in therapy. I provide an environment that, because it is safe and non-judgmental, allows the person in therapy to open up in new and often unexpected ways and to experience and express his or her deepest thoughts and feelings. I use more than one therapeutic discipline, but my approach is ultimately tailored to the needs of the person I am working with. I help people become more emotionally self-aware so that they can experience greater self-esteem and satisfaction in life, better deal with depression, and cope with the anxiety that so often interferes with their sense of well-being. In addition to psychotherapy, I am a certified hypnotherapist and offer hypnotherapy to the people I work with. I am also available for hypnotherapy referrals as an adjunct from other clinicians. For safety concerns I am currently working online and by phone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience, I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. Whether you're working through difficult emotions or simply looking to improve daily functioning and personal growth, I'm here to help you find your footing and build the skills to move forward. Specializing in play therapy and person-centered approaches, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we'll discover what works for you and develop practical tools that support your personal growth and daily life. Our sessions are built on safety, collaboration, and genuine understanding. Using play therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll work together to explore your emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and build the confidence to navigate challenges more independently. Warm and nurturing by nature, I tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. Every person who comes to me deserves a welcoming, affirming, and nonjudgmental space, and that's exactly what I strive to create. Whether you're a child, teen, or adult, I'm committed to being a trustworthy partner throughout your care, helping you feel more empowered in your everyday life. My path to becoming a therapist began long before graduate school. As a teenager, working with children gave me my first real sense of how meaningful it is to support someone through a hard moment. Paired with my studies in psychology, those early experiences revealed a clear passion: helping others navigate challenges and grow into themselves. That foundation has stayed with me ever since. In every session, I bring empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to connect with each person I work with, because person-centered care isn't just a practice model to me. It's a commitment. When I'm not working, you might find me reading, playing video games, hooked on a crochet project, or enjoying a Broadway show.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Manhattan. After finishing a Masters of Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania, I completed a four year post-graduate program at the William Alanson White Institute, a psychoanalytic institute in New York City. In my practice, I work with people who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. I also work with individuals who are interested in improving their understanding of themselves or an aspect of their lives, or who want to be better able to make choices that lead to a sense of fulfillment. My goal is to provide a warm and collaborative relationship in which these topics can be explored. I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship is based on trust and can help bring about growth and change. I offer clinical supervision to psychotherapists in private practice and as part of the William Alanson White Institute's Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program. I am also an Associate Editor for the academic journal Contemporary Psychoanalysis.

Welcome! I'm Casey Nordberg, a Limited Permit Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP) in Brooklyn. I work with individuals of all ages, specializing in trauma, attachment and relationship issues, and life transitions. With a background working with families in child welfare and private practice, I bring a nuanced perspective to the therapeutic space, creating a safe environment for a diverse population of patients to explore the experiences that have shaped who they are today. This person-centered, compassion-driven lens supports those navigating emotional struggles, relationship challenges, and feelings of stagnation. In a fast-moving city that often rewards us for pushing forward at the expense of our well-being, taking the step to seek support shows real bravery, and I don't take that courage and trust lightly. I believe everyone has lived experience worth exploring with care, and I'm honored to help you find insight into your history and clarity on the steps ahead as I get to know you and we start this journey together. I am dedicated to meeting you where you are, centering your experiences as we work together to understand and move through what's difficult. Because life's ruptures most often occur in the context of relationships, I believe that building a healing, reparative relationship is one of the most important parts of therapy. That’s why I lead with empathy and warmth, taking a holistic, culturally humble approach, integrating relational and psychodynamic work with evidence-based strategies like motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness techniques, so that treatment can be tailored to what actually fits your life. In our work together, we'll collaborate to understand and gently challenge the thought patterns and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck, while honoring the role these strategies have played in helping you survive difficult experiences in the past. From there, we'll find the tools and coping skills that feel right for you, working toward clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful, sustainable change. My path to becoming a therapist began with stressful experiences within my own family growing up: illness and loss, family members' mental illness and substance misuse, and the complex relational dynamics that come with intergenerational trauma and colliding cultural norms. This experience shaped my interest in child and family mental health, and my drive to walk alongside people of all ages as they make sense of what they've been through. Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time in nature, exploring parks around the city on walks, going on runs, and picnics. Coming from a family of artists and creatives, I enjoy dancing to live music, visiting art museums, and painting with watercolors. On lower-key days, I adore curling up with a cup of tea, a good book, and my two cats.

Finding the right therapist matters, and starting therapy can feel vulnerable. I aim to create a warm, supportive space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered. My goal is for therapy to be both practical and reflective—a place for insight, growth, and genuine change. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation, increased stress, and life transitions. I work with individuals at different stages of life, including adults, adolescents, and children, and I also support parents as they navigate their own challenges and transitions. My approach to therapy is collaborative, flexible, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT and DBT. I believe therapy should move at a pace that honors where you are and what you’re ready for. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, and work toward changes that feel both meaningful and sustainable. My background: I earned my doctorate degree (PsyD) in Combined School and Clinical Psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. My professional experiences include work in community mental health, college counseling, and private practice settings, where I’ve provided evidence-based treatment to individuals across the lifespan. I also have experience supervising PhD/PsyD students and post-doctoral fellows.

My approach begins with curiosity and non-judgment. Together we will create a space where we can talk about anything whether that may be sexuality, gender identity, disability, or family trauma. I believe that the healing is rooted within the relationship. As someone who lives with chronic pain, I want to hold space for the challenges that individuals face when managing their own care while celebrating the often ignored strengths it takes to do so. I understand that we live hectic lives that require flexibility and compassion but that therapy also thrives when there is structure and challenge. Together, we will work to understand what unique challenges you are facing in your present, that may be influenced by pieces of your history. By gaining a deeper sense of yourself and tuning out the outside noise, you become more attuned to your own inner compass to guide yourself when facing life’s many opportunities and challenges. Everyone is unique, so please feel free to reach out to schedule an initial consultation to explore how therapy can be a helpful tool in your journey.

Some of the most meaningful moments in my work have come from patients who carried their struggles alone for far too long — people who finally decided, on their own terms, that something needed to change. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I work with young adults to older adults from a wide variety of backgrounds, life experiences, beliefs, and identities who may be navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and trauma. What you bring to our work together matters deeply to me. Together, we'll work on treatment aimed toward measurable and meaningful growth rather than simply managing symptoms. My approach is rooted in respect, honest partnership, and the belief that treatment works best when it's something you've chosen for yourself. Whatever brings you here, my hope is to help you grow into a version of yourself you may not have realized you could be. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based stress management techniques, I help you address the immediate obstacles you're facing, while using a psychodynamic approach to work through the deeper roots of core issues that may stem from key past experiences. I approach every session with curiosity, compassion, and open-mindedness, so you are empowered to achieve this healing in an environment where you feel safe and free to express yourself without fear of judgment. You can also expect to work with a therapist who understands what it means to be human, which is to be imperfect regardless of skillset or background. Mental health struggles aren't abstract to me, as I've faced my own. Guided by great therapists and mentors, those experiences taught me that warmth and acceptance aren't just values; they're clinical necessities. All patients, regardless of background, who are ready to do the work are welcome here. Music has always been an important part of my life. I play guitar and bass, write songs, and sing. In my free time, I enjoy gaming, staying creative, and spending time with family and friends.

Welcome to my Practice! As a professional who is visually impaired, I have learned, with the help of my guide dog Faith, to literally transform obstacles into opportunities! I can help you too as I help students and professionals who may feel overwhelmed due to ADHD or learning differences, anxiety, depression and/or relationship issues. Perhaps you are plagued by perfection or performance anxiety. Together we will prioritize problems for which you'd like help. You will learn strategies, tools and techniques for crushing your negative thoughts. If you are struggling with social or other types of anxiety, you will also learn effective ways to move through it so you can feel confident and take back control of your emotions and ability to do the things in your life that are important and enble you to thrive. Finally, this will lead to living the life you were meant to, with joy and happiness. If you'd like to improve your communication skills and have greater closeness and intimacy, regardless of the type of relationship, I will teach you strategies to bring you closer to those with whom you care most. I am CBT Certified, and a trained couples and family therapist. I am also an ADHD/Life and Integrative Nutrition Coach. Feel free to reach out with any questions and/or for an initial consultation to see if we are a good match. I am currently seeing clients via tele therapy.

Are you seeking support as you move through difficult emotions, life changes, or other challenges affecting your overall well-being? As a mental health counselor, I support children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and periods of adjustment or transition. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward greater balance, confidence, and personal growth. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported in their mental health journey, and I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating. Making the process feel comfortable and approachable matters to me, so know that you don’t have to navigate difficult moments alone. Together, we can create a space to explore your experiences and work toward your goals. I look forward to supporting you on that journey toward greater well-being. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and a humanistic, patient-centered approach to meet each person where they are, using these tools to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing effective coping strategies. This approach is compassionate, collaborative, and supportive, grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a genuine human connection. Because therapy is most effective when patients feel comfortable being their authentic selves, I tailor my approach to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. I'm passionate about creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood while developing the tools and insight you need to navigate challenges and move toward meaningful growth. My path to becoming a therapist began with a genuine love for people and a deep curiosity about what helps us heal and grow. As someone from a LatinX background, I have witnessed and experienced the struggles and stigma that can surround mental health and understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking support. These experiences deepened my commitment to making therapy feel approachable, comfortable, and inclusive. I bring this same warmth, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand each person's unique story to my work with patients. Pilates has become part of my weekly routine, and when I'm not on the mat, I'm usually curled up with a good book — I love murder mysteries, thrillers, romance, and the occasional fantasy novel. At home, I have an anxious dog I love to spoil, and I'm working on becoming more of a plant mom. I also enjoy baking.

As a social worker with a clinical focus, my expertise includes facilitating group and individual sessions, case management and welfare systems with low-income populations, LGBTQ+ identities, depression and anxiety, suicidality and self-harm, and eating disorders/disordered eating populations. I work with people of all backgrounds, with a particular focus on queer and young patients. Together, we navigate interpersonal relationships (including the relationship you have with yourself), body image distress and gender dysphoria, internalized homophobia, trauma resolution, harm reduction, and finding alternatives to harm that lead to a life worth living. Grounded in a commitment to social justice, I aim to be compassionate and realistic in how I approach your care. I look forward to creating meaning and understanding in our work together, and promise to be your biggest cheerleader along the way. Helping you find strength and meaning in life is something I care deeply about, especially when it comes to creating space for the things you're scared to talk about. Authentic, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive are all words that describe how I show up in our work together, in a warm environment that offers a gentle push when it's needed. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing help me connect you with your true values and intentions in life, leaving behind the thoughts that keep you stuck. There's also room for humor and joy when it's what's needed. Compassionate and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals, my style centers on meeting you where you're at, no matter where that may be. I also leave space for humor and joy when it’s what’s needed. My path to becoming a therapist began with my journey to becoming a yoga teacher. As I strengthened my yoga practice, my love for community, connection, and holding space flourished. This experience built my passion for providing a space for people to show up as they are and ask for what they need. Today, I bring a systems approach to each session, examining what you're going through from the macro level down to the micro level, to offer you a holistic understanding of your experience. You'll usually find me on my yoga mat, curled up with a good book, or spending time with my cat and my friends. I'm always on the hunt for the next great fidget toy and a new coffee shop with genuinely good coffee, and there's nothing like laying in the park or on the beach to recharge. I also love creating art and getting lost in a good crime documentary.

We are a boutique psychotherapy practice located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, offering individual therapy, couples counseling, therapy groups, costume therapy, and psychedelic integration work. We are an excellent match for people who subscribe to alternative lifestyles, and our areas of expertise are working with artists as well as the LGBTQIA+ communities. However you identify, we strive to truly know you as an individual - your values, beliefs, and outlook on life - while also maintaining an appreciation for overarching human needs, such as the desire for connection with others and the longing to feel understood.

I have many years experience helping people with their emotional problems. I work with individuals of all ages from adolescence to old age. My approach is listening-focused. No two persons who have come to see me have had the same issues and struggles to contend with. So what is needed is close, attentive listening so I can know how you can most benefit from my help. Many patients prefer to focus on the here and now problems they feel most immediately. But others want to explore their root causes in earlier relations and problems. I try to tailor my practice to work at either or both these levels of intensity.

I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who supports children, adolescents, young adults, and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, life transitions, family challenges, and more. Authenticity and acceptance guide my approach, allowing me to be supportive, respectful of your individual experience, and compassionate. I look forward to working alongside you to find what’s most helpful. Together we'll create a connection where you feel understood, able to find confidence in yourself, and equipped with the tools to navigate life's challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT) ground my work, connecting with people facing a range of mental health challenges to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, develop effective coping skills, and feel more confident navigating challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuine, as creating a safe, welcoming space matters to me, one where you feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change in your life. That safety comes from a supportive, nonjudgmental environment paired with a style that's engaging and empowering, tailored to your unique needs. My path to becoming a therapist began with a genuine interest in understanding people and building strong connections with others. Working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both school and partial hospitalization settings showed me how important it is to create a space where people feel understood while also learning practical skills they can carry with them outside of therapy. This experience deepened my commitment to providing warm, individualized, and evidence-based care with openness, empathy, and an individualized perspective. In my free time, I love going for walks, working out, dancing, spending time with friends, and discovering new restaurants around NYC!

Identifying and expressing your emotional experience can be difficult. As a Creative Arts Therapist, Music Therapist, and Credentialed Alcohol & Substance Abuse Counselor, I offer talk therapy with the option of using creative arts tools to assist you in your process. I work from a supportive and psychodynamic approach, letting your needs be the guide. I have 15 years experience with 13 years working in inpatient psychiatry, providing therapy for people in acute mental health crises. My work now is solely private practice, assisting clients through difficult life obstacles in a safe supportive environment.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with young adults experiencing life changes with attending college or graduating college and need guidance of what will be their next steps in life after college. Although these can be milestones for young adults, it can also bring questions and several emotions that can affect their daily life. Some people may experience anxiety and depression while in college as they adjust to life on campus and being away from their friends and families.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) specializing in anxiety and depression, with a focus on youth and young adults. As a partner in your healing journey, I help you navigate life changes, relationships, and coming-of-age issues, with a steadfast belief in transparency and relationship building. You can always come to me as a friend. I look forward to learning and growing with you together. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with talk therapy and play therapy, all in service of helping you build the tools to live a healthy and happy life. Real-life experience helps me connect with you, creating a space that feels comfortable and familiar. Every patient is unique, and I allow you the space to dissect those experiences. My path to becoming a therapist started with my own mental health journey. Everything I preach, I practice, and would never ask a patient to do anything I would not do myself. Through this approach combined with compassionate and culturally responsive care, I hope to normalize therapy in Black and brown communities. When I’m outside the office, I love photography, playing sports, and sometimes even getting a new tattoo!
