Psychotherapy is your time to grow and heal. When we struggle with different aspects of our lives it can help to talk and be listened to. I have great respect for my clients and want to help you try to achieve a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Take this time to truly get to know yourself. I am a queer feminist therapist who is body positive, sex-positive, anti-diet and HAES aligned, and I am committed to anti-racist work. My office is a safe and inclusive place for all.
Do you hide your feelings from yourself and others, even without intending to? Maybe certain emotions were discouraged or disallowed during your childhood. Maybe you have endured traumatic experiences that make some feelings seem dangerous. Maybe you have been impacted by systemic inequality or prejudice as a result of your identity. For these reasons and others, you may avoid noticing and expressing sadness, loneliness, or anger. Instead, you try to keep yourself busy, mask your pain with jokes and laughter, or rationalize that “it’s not so bad” or “others have it worse.” Rejecting these parts of yourself comes at a very steep cost. Efforts to defend against your feelings can result in depression, anxiety, emptiness, and many other symptoms. Most importantly, remaining hidden compromises relationships. After all, it is hard to connect meaningfully with others when you are disconnected from yourself. Slowing down to make contact with your true feelings is worth the effort. In therapy, we will work together to observe and name the ways in which you have been ignoring your inner experience. As you become aware of your defenses, you will learn to deploy them flexibly rather than automatically. You will grow to tolerate and maybe even appreciate the feelings that used to feel frightening or shameful. With time, you can come to understand yourself better and feel a sense of ease being you.
We started to practice in Astoria - as Astoria Behavioral Associates together with a few therapists. Beginning this year we're expanding the practice to Long Island City, right across from Manhattan.
Have you been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just “blah?” Is balancing your academics, social life, dating, and family contributing to a non-stop feeling of anxiety? Is your inner-critic getting louder, magnifying those "what ifs" and making you question your worth? You're not alone. I am a Columbia University trained therapist specializing in anxiety, complex trauma, and self esteem in young adults. In our work together, you will develop tools to cope with stressors, process past and present painful experiences, and build your confidence to make your life more authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful.
am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing collaborative, holistic, and client-oriented care. My approach to treatment emphasizes improving self-esteem, enhancing meaning, and reducing suffering. I have an in-depth knowledge of psychiatric medications and their ability to increase energy, reduce symptoms, and improve daily functioning. However, medications are only one aspect of overall treatment. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing, which I use to address issues with relationships, anxiety, and life transitions. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years and am committed to utilizing my broad experience to address your specific mental health goals. I look forward to working together soon.
I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, and their families/support systems. I have particular specialties using research-based practices to work with young adults and adolescents with Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

I am trained in a variety of evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP). I have a particular interest in treating Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in Adolescents and young adults. As a therapist, I aim to provide a warm, judgment-free, and strengths-based space where my clients feel seen, understood, and accepted. To see if we may be a good fit, interested clients can schedule a free phone consultation with me. I look forward to speaking with you!

I believe therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself, with the parts that have been silenced, criticized, or forgotten. I see my role as someone who listens with deep care and genuine curiosity, while also supporting you as you explore how your experiences and emotions shape your journey through life. Together, we will create a space where all parts of you are welcome and where healing and meaningful change can begin to take root. I welcome all clients and especially value working with those from LGBTQ+, BIPOC, immigrant, and international student communities. My approach mainly draws from CBT and person-centered frameworks while always centering cultural humility and curiosity. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I will meet you where you are, and together we will find what works for you, whether that is building practical tools, unpacking old patterns, or simply having a space to be heard. Feel free to reach out any questions you might have!
With over 8 years of experience in mental health and as an Asian, Queer Native New Yorker, I deeply resonate with you if a part of you is a high-achiever, perfectionist, or people-pleaser, yet you also find yourself prioritizing others over yourself. You appear to be put together, but deep down, you're stuck in processing intergenerational trauma. You feel overwhelmed to tap into this discomfort. But you’re ready to be with it, to bring a change that allows you to slow down, to feel, and to build your inner resources for generative connection. Most of all, you’re ready to embody the wisdom of your lineages and roots. I want to help you get there. As an EMDR trained therapist, I specialize in working with people of diverse backgrounds — high achievers, adoptees, helping/healthcare/finance/tech professionals, young adults, athletes, creatives, QTBIPOC, & immigrants — who have trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, or ADHD. Together, we will find your authentic voice through experiential, integrative, anti-oppressive practices, EFT, Gestalt, parts work, and somatic approaches. I’ll meet you where you are on your unique journey and offer you the support you need to live and thrive abundantly. A life where you are empowered by your body's wisdom is possible. You don’t have to continue feeling disconnected, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call or email me today for a free video consult call. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello! I'm Dr. Brian Freidenberg. In therapy, I place the therapeutic relationship above all else. The relationship is the vehicle for change. I believe that a good therapist listens well; is empathic; and provides a safe, empowering, and judgement-free environment. The client and I form a partnership to help the client navigate this great adventure called life. My areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g. substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. I am trained as a culturally sensitive cognitive behavioral therapist. An important part of my practice is my appreciation and admiration of culture. My clients are diverse by age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, race, and ethnicity. I offer EVENING and WEEKEND sessions. I am a clinical psychologist who also has an MSW. Thus, I am a very well-trained therapist who understands the unique impacts of culture, environment, and systems on people's lives. I have been mentored by therapists world renowned for their work in anxiety, addiction, and groups. I believe in the power of hope and the concept of resiliency.
