I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Gila Schwartz is a therapist located on Long Island, NY. A psychologist focuses on the evaluation, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, emotional and behavioral health issues. A clinical psychologist uses psychotherapy and other counseling skills to improve emotional and mental health.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Brooklyn, NY
Searching for ADHD therapists in Brooklyn starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD can focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and support with organization or follow-through. Medication management is separate from therapy and is handled by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are looking for an ADHD therapist for adults, support for a child or teen, or care that also addresses anxiety, depression, or stress, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking.
Brooklyn has many mental health therapists across neighborhoods, which can make the number of choices harder to sort through. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit. Virtual sessions can also expand your options if your schedule changes often or you want to search beyond nearby offices. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Therapist bios can help you understand how they work with ADHD, how they structure sessions, and whether their communication style matches what you are looking for.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, show real-time availability, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your plan details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, then browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
