Our
Services
Our clinicians hold advanced certifications in their specialties, train continuously, and are deeply supported in developing their niche — within a practice where social justice is a core clinical value, not an afterthought.
BIPS clinicians don't just hold licenses — they earn additional certifications in their specialties, train continuously, and are actively supported in going deep in their niche. You get a therapist who is genuinely invested in what you're dealing with, not a generalist with an opening.

Get in touch →Individual Therapy
for Adults
In-person · Brooklyn & Manhattan
Telehealth · NY, MA & OR
Adult individual therapy at BIPS is organized around a collaborative formulation that links current concerns to core affective themes, defensive strategies, and enduring self-and-other representations.
Treatment emphasizes strengthening reflective functioning and mentalization, increasing affect tolerance, and identifying repetitive interpersonal patterns — often including how these dynamics emerge within the therapeutic relationship itself.
We work with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, relationship and attachment concerns, self-esteem and perfectionism, identity exploration, and neurodivergence including ADHD and autistic traits.
Therapy for Children
& Adolescents (13–18)
In-person · Brooklyn & Manhattan
Telehealth · NY, MA & OR
Child and adolescent therapy is developmentally informed and attachment-oriented, recognizing that distress may present through mood shifts, behavior changes, somatic symptoms, academic difficulties, or relational stress.
We support young people in building emotional awareness, self-regulation, and resilience. With appropriate consent, we incorporate caregiver collaboration to strengthen co-regulation and align supports across home and school environments.
Couples & Relationship
Therapy
In-person · Brooklyn & Manhattan
Telehealth · NY, MA & OR
Intensives available
Couples therapy at BIPS is integrative and attachment-based, drawing from EFT while applying a psychodynamic lens to repetitive cycles, implicit relational expectations, and emotional vulnerabilities.
The goal is to shift the couple's negative cycle, strengthen emotional safety, and support repair and reconnection. We also offer sex-positive therapy — supporting individuals and partners navigating desire discrepancy, intimacy concerns, shame, identity, and relationship agreements in a nonjudgmental, affirming way.
Supervision for LMSWs, MHCs, and other pre-licensed clinicians with licensed clinical psychologists and social workers.
We also offer practice-building consultation for clinicians developing sustainable wellness practices — covering clinical identity, caseload design, fee structure, referral networks, and the business of private practice.

Treatment approaches
woven into our work
For trauma-related symptoms and distressing memories that have not fully processed through talk therapy alone.
Supports corrective emotional experiences and deeper affective processing through the healing power of connection.
Working with "parts" and internal conflict with compassion and clarity — toward inner harmony and self-leadership.
Attachment-based couples work that shifts the negative cycle, rebuilds emotional safety, and restores connection.
Half-day or full-day concentrated sessions for couples seeking focused progress in a shorter period of time.
A structured, evidence-based approach that identifies and reshapes unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors — practical tools for anxiety, depression, OCD, and more.
The gold-standard treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders — systematically reducing avoidance and compulsive responses through structured, graduated exposure.
Integrating awareness of the body — breath, sensation, movement, and nervous system regulation — into the therapeutic process to support healing that talk alone cannot always reach.
Certified, specialized,
and grounded in justice
Every BIPS clinician has pursued advanced training and additional certifications beyond their license — in the specific modalities and populations they serve. They don't generalize. They go deep.
And they do it within a practice where social justice is a clinical orientation, not a mission statement. How power, identity, and systemic context shape mental health is not a side conversation here — it's part of the work.
Our clinicians hold advanced certifications — in EMDR, IFS, AEDP, EFT, ExRP, somatic approaches, perinatal mental health, and more — earned through rigorous post-graduate training programs, not weekend workshops.
Each therapist receives several hours of clinical education and supervision per week, targeted to their area of specialization. BIPS actively invests in helping clinicians go deeper in what they do best.
Race, gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, disability — these are not background factors. At BIPS, they are central to how we understand people and how we practice therapy.
You'll be paired with a clinician whose training, lived orientation, and experience fit what you're navigating — not whoever has an opening.
BIPS is affirming across gender, sexuality, race, culture, religion, body, and relationship structure. This is not conditional and it is not negotiable.
