Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with coping with past trauma and PTSD stemming from those traumas can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your trauma and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I have specialized training in trauma treatment, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which views trauma as something deeply rooted in the body and nervous system. In our work together, we focus on safety, pacing, and understanding the coping strategies your system has developed in response to overwhelming experiences.
Trauma can leave people feeling fragmented, disconnected, or stuck in patterns of dissociation or reactivity. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we learn to track these responses, build regulation tools, and develop a more compassionate and empowered relationship with your experience.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Complex or relational trauma can leave lasting effects on how we experience emotions, relationships, trust, and ourselves. You may find yourself stuck in hypervigilance, emotional numbness, shame, people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, or repeating painful relational patterns that once served as protection. My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed, helping clients process difficult experiences while building greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of safety. For clients interested in deeper therapeutic work, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), thoughtfully integrated with preparation and ongoing psychotherapy.

Farzana Rahman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-D
I have provided trauma informed care since 2015 and have training alongside knowledge towards how trauma begins, how trauma impacts our mind and body, and the work it can take to heal. Majority of my clinical work focuses on supporting people to share their story, learn and re-learn tools to cope with present-day stress, and move forward from past experiences that have caused harm. Trauma can be defined in several ways and I work with clients to find what makes most sense to them.

Michelle Foster
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
When working with clients experiencing trauma and PTSD, I primarily use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help clients process traumatic memories, challenge negative beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. I also emphasize creating a safe and supportive environment to facilitate healing and resilience.

Judith Rapley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have committed my life to help women, especially black women and girls, although not excluding men and boys, get through and heal from their traumas. Including my own.
I help clients recognize that not only that they can play a role and serve a purpose for the helping and nurturing of others but that they can also enjoy their own joy, peace, happiness and fulfillment inspite of what things they have experienced or survived.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Traumatic experiences and PTSD can be so hard to live with. It can mean sleepless nights, avoidance of people and places, hypervigilance and more. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for PTSD. I am an EMDR certified clinician. I have seen the wonderful results that EMDR can have with both traumatic experiences and memories as well as with negative beliefs and feelings that we take out of trauma.I take the pace that is right for each client. Let's do this work together. It can be a game changer.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect how people feel, think, and relate to others long after the events themselves have passed. Individuals may experience anxiety, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or patterns that feel hard to change. Anneka approaches trauma work with care and sensitivity, helping clients process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Through this work, clients can begin to reconnect with themselves, develop greater emotional resilience, and move toward a deeper sense of stability and well-being.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma is not just what happened, it is how the nervous system adapted in order to survive. PTSD symptoms such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, emotional numbing, or reactivity are protective responses that once served a purpose. Using approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic work, we gently process trauma so your body no longer has to live as though the danger is still present.

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.
