ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Brooklyn, NY

Growing up as an immigrant, I was fortunate to have teachers, mentors, and counselors in my life who made me feel "seen" and "heard" and helped me navigate the nuances of my complex, contradicting dual cultures. Inspired, it led me to officially train to provide "unconditional regard" (safe spaces) for those in similar situations.

I am passionate about helping clients cultivate greater balance, vitality, and overall well-being in their lives. I have experience working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, disordered eating, substance use disorders, and insomnia. I earned my degree from Hunter College in New York City, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.

I’m a clinical social worker with many years of experience working with people of all ages in a variety of settings. I hold particular expertise supporting those impacted by trauma, navigating significant life transitions, experiencing grief or loss, and those struggling with mood disorders.

Marsel Kogan is a board-certified psychiatric-mental health and family nurse practitioner providing evidence-based care for adults. He specializes in psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with a collaborative, goal-focused approach. With experience in outpatient psychiatry, urgent care, and occupational medicine, he offers whole-person care. He is bilingual in Russian and English.

I hold as fundamental that every person deserves to feel genuinely met. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in presence: the belief that healing unfolds in the quality of the space between therapist and client.

I practice with a deep attunement to the body, drawing on somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with the wisdom held in their nervous systems, and their narratives.

Alongside this, I bring a profound commitment to deep listening, not simply hearing words, but attending to the subtle rhythms of affect, silence, and sensation that often carry what language cannot.

I approach each person with the conviction that being truly seen and accepted is itself transformative; I strive to meet each client with warmth, curiosity, and an unwavering sense of their inherent worth.

I also hold cultural context as an essential lens, recognizing that our histories, identities, and communities shape how we experience ourselves, our pain, and what healing can look like. Whether working across language, culture, or lived experience, I create a therapeutic relationship that feels genuinely safe, attuned, and affirming of the whole person.

I'm Claudia, a bilingual faith-based LMHC with 11 years of experience helping adults move through anxiety, depression, panic, and the weight of unprocessed trauma. As a therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I welcome all clients ready to engage in the journey of healing.

I've worked with people navigating immigration stress, family pressure, generational trauma, grief, and burnout — often all at once. My approach is faith-centric, compassionate and culturally grounded. I'm here to walk with you through this time, understand what you're carrying and help you figure out what to do with it. I'm not here to simply hand you worksheets and generic advice.

I see clients via telehealth throughout New York, so wherever you are in the state, support is accessible.

I’m a psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and other emotional concerns. Being a therapist is actually my second career, which gives me a unique perspective and a deep appreciation for how our families, life experiences, and the environments we live in shape who we are. I believe that understanding your story is an important part of healing, and I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.
