While we specialize in LGBTQ+-affirming mental health care, we proudly serve people of all sexual orientations and gender identities throughout North Brooklyn and beyond.

About Us
At Good Therapy NYC, we believe that therapy should be both effective and human. Our clinicians bring compassion, curiosity, and skill to the therapeutic relationship, creating space for healing, insight, and growth. We meet you without judgment and work collaboratively to understand what’s getting in the way—and how to move forward.
We draw on a range of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Whether you're navigating acute stressors or long-standing patterns, we’ll help you build a path that makes sense for your life.
“One of the greatest challenges people face is estrangement from the self. Healing begins when we return to who we are.” — David Shapiro
