Meet Our Brooklyn Therapists
Finding the right therapist 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 other 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.
Our Team
Adrienne Figueiredo, MA, LCAT, ATR
Brooklyn North was founded by Adrienne Figueiredo, MA, LCAT. Adrienne has over 15 years of experience as a therapist, and has so enjoyed helping clients connect to who they are and what they want. 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. Adrienne’s first career was as an artist, so she is also well aware of both the difficulties and joys of pursuing a creative path.
Jennifer Warpool, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
Jennifer employs a holistic and personalized approach to therapy. She incorporates integrative, collaborative, trauma-informed techniques and evidence-based methods, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness strategies, all enhanced by the transformative power of art therapy. She is skilled in addressing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, interpersonal conflicts, and parent coaching.
Emily Hardy, MA, MPS, LCAT, ATR-BC
Emily is a creative arts therapist specializing in trauma-focused care, including EMDR and complex PTSD treatment. With a deep commitment to fostering resilience and healing, she integrates art therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches to support individuals of all ages on their journey toward emotional well-being. She has extensive experience running therapy groups, developing workshops, and facilitating spaces for personal growth and collective healing. Emily also designs and manages health and well-being programs, collaborating with organizations and community groups to promote mental health accessibility and holistic care.
Brittany Johnston, MA, LCAT
Brittany is a Creative Arts Therapist specializing in EMDR. She works with individuals navigating trauma, relationship patterns, and life transitions, blending expressive, creative approaches with evidence-based practices to support meaningful, lasting change. Brittany brings a warm, intuitive presence to her work, creating a space where clients can be real, explore their inner world, and feel genuinely understood. Her style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and attuned to helping clients build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of connection to themselves and others.
Most of our clients see us out-of-network. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits — and many PPO plans do — you can typically get 50–80% of each session reimbursed directly by your insurer.
Here's how it works: you pay our session fee up front, we send you a superbill (an itemized receipt with the codes your insurer needs) once a month, and you submit it for reimbursement. We're happy to walk you through it on your consult call, and we can help you check your out-of-network benefits before you book.
In-network options. We're also in-network with:
Aetna
Cigna
Healthfirst (including Medicaid — limited slots)
Sliding scale. A small number of reduced-fee spots open up throughout the year. Ask on your consult call if cost is a barrier — we'd rather have the conversation than have you not reach out.

Where to Find Us in Brooklyn
960 Manhattan Avenue, 4th Floor
Brooklyn, NY 11222
Our practice sits on the top floor of a Greenpoint building on Manhattan Avenue, two blocks from McCarren Park and a two-minute walk from the Greenpoint Avenue G train. The 4th-floor windows pull in a lot of north-facing afternoon light, which is part of why we picked the room — creative arts therapy is body-based work, and the space matters.
Getting here. The G stops at Greenpoint Avenue (3 min walk) and Nassau Avenue (14 min). The B43 bus runs along Manhattan Avenue. Street parking is usually available on the side streets off Manhattan Ave after 6pm, & paid spots are almost always available on Manhattan Ave.
