I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
Great to meet you!
My name is Haydee Cerezo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a trained psychotherapist with specialization in treatment for depression, anxiety, grief/loss and life transitions. With 20 years of experience, I understand that seeking help can be challenging and takes courage. Congratulations on taking the first step. Prioritizing one's mental health can lead to a happier and stable life.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
I am a New York state and New Jersey state licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in psychology from Long Island University-Post. I completed an APA accredited internship from Mt. Sinai Services-Elmhurst Hospital Center. I received postdoctoral training from New York University Counseling and Wellness Services. I specialize in working with adults with concerns regarding career, relationships, life transitions, identity, anxiety, eating disorder/body image, and grief/loss.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental presence. I work collaboratively and at a reflective pace, creating a space where you can explore emotions and creativity without pressure to perform or “get it right.” Music is always an invitation, not a requirement. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself.
I have extensive experience working with people of all ages in the creative fields, young adults lost at a crossroad in their life.
If this is your first time seeking therapy, or if you have been in therapy before you are welcome here.

I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Brooklyn, NY
Searching for therapists in Brooklyn starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Brooklyn has therapists across neighborhoods like Greenpoint, Williamsburg, DUMBO, and Carroll Gardens, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Brooklyn offers many therapy options, which can make the search easier when you have clear filters. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or transit, or virtual appointments that fit your schedule from another private space. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what the first few sessions may look like.
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 make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find Brooklyn therapists who match your preferences, may accept your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated cost before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
