Why Individual Therapy?

Compassionate, Culturally Responsive Support to Help You Heal and Grow

At Therapy Brooklyn, we provide individual therapy for adults seeking meaningful, identity-affirming support. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, we offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to process what you're going through.

Our diverse team of therapists specializes in anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, and trauma-informed care; offering support that honors your lived experience and the systems you move through. We work with BIPOC clients, queer and trans individuals, new parents, professionals, creatives, and anyone seeking therapy that sees the full picture of who they are.


Why Choose Individual Therapy?

Life is complex. Therapy can help you make sense of it.

Individual therapy is a powerful space to explore your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. It's a space just for you, where you don't have to perform, or minimize your needs.

People often seek individual therapy when they are:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress

  • Struggling with low self-worth or confidence

  • Navigating a difficult relationship or breakup

  • Healing from trauma or past emotional wounds

  • Exploring identity, race, sexuality, or gender

  • Experiencing grief, loss, or major life transitions

  • Trying to shift old patterns and feel more grounded

Our therapists tailor sessions to your goals. You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what to say or what you want. We’ll figure it out together.

 Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Therapy

What happens in an individual therapy session?

Each session is a confidential, one-on-one conversation with your therapist. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes and happen weekly. You’ll talk about what’s been on your mind, whether it’s something current or rooted in the past.

Your therapist may help you:

  • Identify patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you

  • Build self-awareness and emotional regulation tools

  • Explore the impact of family, culture, and identity on your well-being

  • Set goals and make meaningful life changes

We draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and relational therapy—always grounded in a client-centered, culturally aware lens.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’re even considering therapy, there’s a reason. You don’t need a diagnosis or a major life event to start. Many clients come to therapy simply because they want to feel better, think more clearly, or build healthier relationships.

You deserve a space where you can explore what’s going on inside without shame, urgency, or judgment.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. We offer telehealth sessions for clients anywhere in New York State. Online therapy is a flexible, accessible way to receive support from the comfort of your home or private space.

All of our online sessions are HIPAA-compliant and secure.

Is individual therapy culturally responsive?

At Therapy Brooklyn, cultural responsiveness is not an add on it’s foundational to our work. Our therapists hold space for the intersection of race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, and cultural background. We understand that healing doesn't happen in a vacuum and that the sociopolitical context you live in shapes your mental health.

We are a BIPOC-owned practice with a deep commitment to anti-oppressive, justice-oriented care. Our goal is to help you feel seen, respected, and empowered.
