Meet Our Brooklyn Therapists
Finding the right therapist in Brooklyn is personal.
Our team is made up of four licensed creative arts therapists (LCAT, ATR-BC) — clinicians trained in both psychotherapy and art therapy, with additional certifications in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused care.
We're women-led, feminist, anti-oppressive, and affirming. We see adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, depression, and the weight of creative life in New York.
Our Shared Approach
Trauma-informed — we understand how trauma lives in the body and nervous system, not just in memory.
Feminist and anti-oppressive — we name the systems that shape mental health, rather than pathologizing the people inside them.
Culturally aware — we see identity (race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, class) as integral to the work, not incidental.
Integrative — we combine art therapy with evidence-based modalities (EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic) matched to you.
Rooted in Brooklyn — our space is small, light-filled, and intentionally not a clinic. Brick walls, real artwork, room to breathe — the setting is part of how the work happens. Part of the Held Space collective.

As an adjunct professor in NYU’s graduate art therapy program, she’s thrilled to also be teaching young art therapists and moving the field forward.
