Barbara Gelfand
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.

Barry Lipscomb
Hypnotherapist, CHT
You’re stuck. You know at your core that things could be better in your life but you just can’t make it happen. You’re a life-long learner and maybe even a spiritual seeker – reading Brene Brown, following Oprah, and listening to Adam Grant, Esther Perel, On Being and other podcasts. Yet you still feel stuck in some way. You know at some level that the power to heal lies within you. Answers are just under the surface. You are certain you could access healing and your own intuition if you could just quieten your mind, trust your gut, and hear your inner voice.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, I help you access and utilize your own inner resources for healing and tap into your intuition and inner wisdom to find your path forward. I work with spiritual seekers just like you to get unstuck, transform what is holding you back and navigate a more fulfilling and productive life.
Contact me to schedule a complimentary 15-minute information session to learn more about Depth Hypnosis counseling sessions and how we can get you unstuck.

Liza Mordkovich
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Welcome to the Brooklyn Center for Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, where healing, growth, and transformation are at the heart of our practice. I’m Liza Mordkovich, a dedicated professional with a passion for helping individuals conquer anxiety, addiction, stress, and navigate the complex terrain of perinatal mood disorders.
My approach to therapy is characterized by warmth, eclecticism, empathy, compassion, and a focus on solutions. I believe that every person has the innate capacity for change and growth, and my mission is to help you overcome obstacles, improve relationships, and lead a gratifying and joyful life.
I draw from a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to assist individuals in coping with emotional distress. My toolkit also includes mindfulness practices, meditation, hypnotherapy, art therapy, and trauma-focused approaches, allowing me to tailor treatment to your unique needs.

Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
In our work together, we will explore the hidden thoughts and feelings, the pleasures and pains, the wishes, the memories that have been stored and possibly repressed. Together, we will explore YOU, the way you have lived and how you want your life to look. We will talk about the worries and anxieties that have been weighing heavily on you. We will find paths by which you can free yourself from suffering and begin to live the life that you choose and wish for.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.
