Culturally responsive therapy is an approach to mental health treatment that acknowledges and respects the diverse cultural backgrounds of clients. This type of therapy emphasizes understanding the cultural context and influences that shape an individual's experiences, beliefs, and behaviors. By integrating cultural awareness into the therapeutic process, I provide more effective and personalized care. The goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and valued, allowing them to explore their issues without fear of judgment. Culturally responsive therapy helps bridge cultural gaps and enhances communication between the therapist and client, ultimately leading to more meaningful and successful therapeutic outcomes.

I provide a diverse range of therapy options to cater to various needs, including individual, family, and group therapy sessions. My offerings include Psychoeducation, which involves the introduction and explanation of mental health concerns. I also provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that is tailored to fit the cultural background of the individual or group. Additionally, Psychodynamic Therapy is available to explore family of origin issues and inter-generational traumas. The Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach is used to integrate disconnected parts of oneself into a cohesive whole. I also offer support for substance abuse and alcohol-related challenges. These services are specifically designed to address the unique needs of women of color, adolescents, families, and men.
We offer Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), EMDR and Mindfullness training
During your first therapy session with me, I'll focus on understanding your concerns and goals. This initial consultation is all about making sure you feel comfortable and supported. You'll start by completing a detailed intake form, which helps me identify the areas you want to explore. Together, we'll discuss each of these areas during our session and collaboratively create your treatment plan goals. My aim is to ensure that the process feels personalized and supportive, setting the stage for a positive therapeutic journey.
I am committed to creating a welcoming space where you can openly discuss personal and emotional issues without fear of judgment. I prioritize trust and openness in all sessions. I engage with you at your individual level and move at a pace that is comfortable for you. By mirroring your tone and assessing for safety, I aim to develop a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding.
At Therapy Works BX, I focus on addressing the core issues rather than merely treating symptoms. My goal is to identify and resolve the underlying causes of the problems you face. I help you cultivate introspection and insight, which leads to the development of effective coping strategies and behavioral changes. My communication style is conversational yet thorough, investigative, and solution-oriented. With extensive experience and knowledge in various life domains, from work-life balance to family trauma and addiction, I offer evidence-based alternatives to medication. These alternatives promote lifestyle changes that enhance your overall well-being.
