Brooklyn, New York therapist: Jenn Coonce, licensed psychoanalyst
Serving Black / African American

Jenn Coonce

Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want. This can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with a therapist you trust and feel comfortable with, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and choose behaviors and habits that can help you get more of what you want from life. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R Therapist
If it feels as if you are repeatedly being inundated with new stressors before you have been able to resolve stressors that were already existing.   Therapy can be helpful in making sense of it all. It can be a place to talk through stressors as well as to identify patterns and interactions with loved ones that may stem from core relationships.  Do you want to uncover attributes for personal tendencies that you find stressful and confusing.

New York City, New York therapist: Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster, psychologist
Serving Black / African American

Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster

Psychologist, PhD
I am a specialized trauma- & attachment-oriented group therapist committed to helping adults heal, grow and cultivate more fulfilling relationships and lives. In my groups, healing happens in the context of a safe therapeutic community of fellow travelers who can relate, help each other feel less alone, and support one another in making the changes needed to get more out of life. I also use a liberation psychology lens to help group members explore the intersection of cultural and identify factors and mental health and feel more confident and empowered in their lives. Group therapy can help you find deeper meaning and connection through the practice of authenticity: "letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are" (Brené Brown). By helping you bring your full authentic self into connection, Group can help you transcend loneliness to find more fulfilling relationships. Group can help you lean into your life with more courage, compassion and vulnerability. Group can support your unique journey as you find your way home to where you belong, and to the relationships that sustain you.

New York City, New York therapist: Kate E. Stephenson, life coach
Serving Black / African American

Kate E. Stephenson

Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Have you made time and space for you today? Most of us haven't—and therapy isn't the only way to do it. Consider Holistic Life Coaching instead. As a certified professional coach, I am here to encourage you to take a breath, take a beat to consider who you are, where you are, and if you are feeling satisfaction in your own success. If you aren't, I invite you to have a conversation with yourself about what can be done differently—allow me to moderate that conversation. Together we can help you live into your own definition of success and begin to feel it deeply. To breathe it in and live.

New York City, New York therapist: Stephanie Davis, hypnotherapist
Serving Black / African American

Stephanie Davis

Hypnotherapist, Cht
Your mind is just as important as your body, vice versa. What if I told you your subconscious which is 88% of your brain is your body? Hypnosis enhances the mind to body connection, which helps to heal emotional turmoil as well as stress. Hypnosis has been scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels, and boost DHEAS levels directly linked to anti-aging. What I offer is not only a learning experience, but also a means of momentary peace.
