When Understanding Yourself Isn't Enough
There is a particular kind of stuck that therapy books don't prepare you for. You've done the reflecting. You understand your patterns. And still, the same things keep happening — the same anxiety, the same relationship dynamics, the same feeling that something just won't shift.
That gap between understanding yourself and actually changing is real, and it's not a character flaw. It's where the real work begins.
What We Work On
As a licensed clinical social worker in Manhattan, New York, working with adults navigating:
Trauma and PTSD
Depression and anxiety
Relationship patterns that have resisted change
Borderline personality and emotional dysregulation
Codependency and attachment wounds
How We Work
Treatment centers on EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — two approaches that work at the level where insight alone doesn't reach. Not just the thinking mind, but the nervous system, the body, the parts of you still braced for something that already happened.
What to Expect
People who find their way here tend to be perceptive, self-aware, and genuinely motivated — and still struggling. Sessions are direct, warm, and honest. Nothing you bring will be too much. Nothing will shock me.
Getting Started
Located in Stuyvesant Town, lower Manhattan. Virtual sessions available throughout New York State. Fee is $250 per session, with a free 15-minute consultation to start.

Jonathan Schnapp

I offer secure, confidential online therapy for clients who prefer the flexibility and comfort of meeting from home or another private space. Sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant video platform and are designed to feel as thoughtful, engaged, and attuned as in-person work. Online therapy can be a convenient option for busy schedules, travel, or when access to in-person care is limited, while still allowing for meaningful, consistent progress.

Lauren Bradley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My mission is to bring ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach, where comfort and insight go hand in hand. Clients can look forward to several key benefits from our sessions, including Enhanced Self-Understanding, Coping Strategies, Personal Growth, Increased Emotional Well-being and Insight.
I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout. Together, we’ll work on building the tools and insights you need to achieve greater mental and emotional well-being.
I take a very participatory approach in sessions. While I provide a space for clients to express themselves freely, I also actively engage in the conversation, offering insights, feedback, and guidance. I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and foster growth.

Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.
