Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Our relationships—with partners, family, friends, and ourselves—shape so much of how we move through the world. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, parenting, self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is warm, relational, and insight-oriented, helping clients better understand longstanding patterns, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have particular expertise in perinatal mental health, cultural identity and immigration, attachment, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).

Nadira Jackson - TherapyWithDira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a Black female Licensed Mental Health Clinician with nearly five years of experience, I hold deep respect for the ways culture, identity, and intergenerational experiences shape us. I bring curiosity, compassion, and cultural awareness to our work. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-worth, trauma, or life transitions—this is a space where your whole self is welcome.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about coming home to yourself. And from that place, building deeper, more meaningful connections in every area of your life.

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
Having worked for a decade, I have supported clients through the nuanced and demanding areas of interpersonal stress, major life transitions, identity exploration, and the long-lasting impact of early adverse childhood experiences. I hold particular care and awareness towards the cultural, relational, and systemic forces that shape a person’s sense of self. I feel especially attuned to how family histories and early attachments influence adult relationships, therefore, I often invite clients to explore identity, unlearn old narratives, and build relationships that feel grounded and authentic. My unique, yet collective experiences as a child of immigrant parents and a South Asian woman allow me to recognize how family expectations, cultural identity, gender identity, and other parts of ourselves are important in the therapy work.

Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am active and vocal and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.

Daniel Pagano
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP, SCC
Asking for help and finding safety with support is not easy, and I honor the courage it takes to begin. I offer a deeply caring and engaged relationship where you can expect a warm, non-judgmental place to freely express yourself, making the process of psychotherapy feel less intimidating. Our work together is a sacred, collaborative journey into the depths of your psyche, compassionately exploring unconscious patterns and shadow aspects to align you with your authentic Self and foster true spiritual wholeness.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.

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.
7 Years Experience
Online in Brooklyn, NY New York (Online Only)
Brooklyn is home to one of the most culturally and economically diverse therapy communities in the United States, with practices concentrated in Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and Williamsburg serving an extraordinarily wide range of backgrounds and needs. The borough's large Caribbean, West African, Haitian, and Orthodox Jewish communities drive sustained demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists who understand the intersection of identity, faith, and mental health. Brooklyn's rapid gentrification and rising rents have become significant mental health stressors, and therapists frequently address the grief of displacement experienced by long-term residents alongside the adjustment challenges of newer arrivals. SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University and Maimonides Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources for a borough of nearly three million people.
