Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Sexual abuse can rob us of our dignity, barricade us with shame and guilt, and can take the joy out of our relationships. As a trauma trained therapist, I utilize EMDR resourcing and processing techniques to help people move beyond their traumatic experiences and memories and feel more at peace with the past. I incorporate psychodynamic therapy and STAIR/NST interventions as well. STAIR/NST is a therapy approach that combines both cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment theory.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Experiences of sexual abuse can leave lasting effects on how we relate to ourselves, our bodies, and others. You may struggle with trust, shame, boundaries, sexuality, anxiety, dissociation, or feeling disconnected from yourself. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, prioritizing safety, pacing, and helping clients rebuild a sense of agency and self-trust. For some clients, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) can be a supportive adjunct to trauma work, helping create movement in places that may feel difficult to access through words alone.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Because I have a speciality in trauma processing therapies, folks with past abuse can often find real relief in working through the implications of trauma-not just the memories of these experiences but how the body does indeed "keep the score". Trauma work needs to include both strong relational rapport, education about how trauma impacts on all levels of functioning and processing therapies such as EMDR or Deep Brain Reorienting to assist with deep healing.

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.
