Midtown West
matters handled in-house
The short version. Individual therapy at Brooklyn Integrative Psychological Services is integrative psychodynamic work for adults, offered in Greenpoint Brooklyn, Union Square and Midtown West, and by telehealth across New York, Massachusetts and Oregon. Clinicians work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, identity, relationships and attachment, grief, life transitions, OCD, and ADHD and neurodivergence, and layer in specialized modalities including EMDR, IFS, AEDP, CBT and ExRP. An intake coordinator matches every client to a clinician by hand, followed by a free 15-minute consultation call before anyone commits. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes, typically weekly. Exact office addresses are shared when you book.
The search itself can be its own kind of exhausting
Scrolling through directories, trying to decode who specializes in what, wondering if this person will actually understand your life. It is a lot, especially when you are already dealing with something hard.
At BIPS we take that burden off you. Our intake team listens carefully to what you are looking for and matches you with a clinician who fits — someone whose training, lived experience and schedule actually align with what you need. You do not have to guess. We have done the work of building a team we trust, and we match you to them thoughtfully.
Most of our therapists are supervised by licensed clinical psychologists, licensed clinical social workers and licensed mental health counselors who receive ongoing specialized training and case consultation. They stay current with the research, invest in their clinicians' development, and hold a high standard of care. We are a practice that takes learning and growing seriously, and we think that makes a meaningful difference for the people we work with.
From reaching out to your first session
We have made getting started as simple as possible. You should not have to work hard to get help.
You reach out
A brief message is enough. Our intake coordinator follows up within 24–48 business hours. No forms to fill, no pressure.
We match you carefully
We pair you with a therapist whose clinical approach, background and availability fit your situation, rather than whoever happens to have an opening.
A free 15-minute call
Before committing to anything, you speak with your matched therapist. No obligation, just a chance to see if it feels right.
You begin
Sessions are 45–60 minutes, typically weekly. We go at your pace. We are not going anywhere.
Whatever you are navigating, we have worked with it before
Our therapists work with a wide range of concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or a clear presenting problem to start. A sense that something is not working is reason enough.
Anxiety and worry
Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, and the kind of worry that never quite turns off, even when things look fine from the outside.
Depression and low mood
Including the quiet, functional kind, where you are managing but not really living. You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support.
Trauma and PTSD
Childhood trauma, relational trauma, complex PTSD. Including things that happened so long ago you are not sure they still count. They do.
Identity and self
Questions of who you are, where you belong, and how to live in a way that feels true, including racial, cultural, gender and sexual identity.
Relationships and attachment
Patterns in how you connect, or disconnect, from the people in your life. Intimacy, conflict, dependency, loneliness and family dynamics.
Grief and loss
Losing someone, yes, but also losing a relationship, a sense of self, or a future you had imagined. Grief takes many shapes.
Life transitions
Moves, career shifts, new parenthood, divorce, emerging adulthood. Even good change can be disorienting. Therapy helps you navigate it with intention.
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Treated with evidence-based ExRP by therapists with specialized training, not passing familiarity.
ADHD and neurodivergence
Therapy focused on understanding yourself, rather than on forcing compliance with expectations that were never designed with you in mind.
Approaches chosen for you, not applied as a formula
Most BIPS therapists work from a psychodynamic foundation and layer in specialized modalities based on what you are actually dealing with. They go deep in their areas of training, and many hold advanced certifications beyond their license.
Psychodynamic therapy
We explore the patterns, relationships and unconscious processes connecting your past to your present. Understanding what is actually driving things is usually the first step toward changing it.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, for trauma and distressing memories that feel stuck. EMDR helps the brain fully process what it has not been able to, reducing the emotional charge of painful experiences at their root.
IFS, Internal Family Systems
Works with the different parts of your inner world — the critic, the protector, the part that shuts down — building genuine self-compassion rather than fighting yourself.
AEDP
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. Healing through the therapeutic relationship itself, using emotion and connection to create corrective experiences in real time. Especially for people who have felt unseen or misunderstood.
CBT and ExRP
Practical, structured approaches for reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and treating OCD. ExRP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD, and our therapists who use it are trained in it specifically.
Not sure which you need?
You do not have to arrive knowing what modality you want. Tell us what is going on and the intake team matches you to a clinician trained in the work your situation calls for.
Therapy that takes your whole life seriously
Our therapists bring their own humanity to this work, including real lived experience across race, culture, gender, sexuality, immigration and identity. They understand what it means to navigate the world in a body and community that is not always treated equally. How power and systemic context shape mental health is part of how we practice rather than a side conversation.
- Race and ethnicity — including racialized stress, intergenerational trauma and immigrant experience
- Gender identity and expression — non-pathologizing, WPATH-informed, welcoming for trans and gender-diverse clients
- Sexual orientation — LGBTQIA+ affirming at every level, without assumption or performance
- Relationship structure — ENM, polyamorous and kink-aware. All configurations welcome without qualification
- Culture and religion — navigating multiple cultural worlds, faith communities and family expectations
- Body and disability — weight-neutral, body-accepting, disability-affirming care
You do not need to be in crisis. Curiosity is enough to start.
Our clients are adults at all stages of life. What they share is a sense that something could be different, and a willingness to explore it.
People of color
Therapists who understand racialized stress, cultural identity and the weight of systemic experience.
LGBTQIA+ adults
A space that is genuinely affirming. You should not have to educate your therapist about your life.
First-generation Americans
The particular complexity of navigating between cultures, family expectations and your own sense of self.
People who have tried therapy before
And want something deeper, more specialized, or simply a better fit this time.
High-functioning people who are struggling
Looking fine from the outside while the inside is a different story entirely.
Adults navigating big transitions
New city, new relationship, new loss. Change that is bigger than it looks.
People who are not sure they need therapy
That uncertainty is a perfectly fine place to start. Many of our best relationships begin there.
Anyone tired of searching
If the process of finding a therapist has already worn you out, that is exactly what we are here for.
People navigating fertility and family building
The emotional weight of infertility, ART, IVF, donor conception and family planning decisions, in a space that holds all of it without judgment.
Where we meet
Three offices across Brooklyn and Manhattan — old buildings, high ceilings, real windows. Nothing feels like a clinic. Exact addresses are shared when you book.
Let us do the hard part for you.
Reach out and tell us a little about what you are looking for. Our intake team takes it from there, carefully and without any pressure.
