As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that an empathic approach creates an environment, in which, trust and curiosity can flourished, facilitating the adjustment to an already difficult process. The relationship between psychotherapist and patient constitutes an important tool, in the understanding of patient's past and present behaviors.
Hi, I’m Melisa, a licensed mental health counselor passionate about helping individuals of all ages navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with children and adolescents, using play therapy to foster expression and healing, while also supporting adults with issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.
If you're seeking support in overcoming life’s challenges, I’d be honored to work with you.
Hello, I’m Sydney Lerner, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I offer therapy in Midtown Manhattan and virtually across the state. I work with teens and young adults navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and family dynamics. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, exploring how past and present relationships shape emotions and patterns. For clients who have completed OCD treatment in the past, I also integrate ERP knowledge to support long-term growth. I earned my BA from Johns Hopkins, my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern, and completed a year-long psychodynamic training at the National Institute of the Psychotherapies.
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.

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.
