Meet Your Online Holistic Anxiety + Trauma Therapist:
Hi, I’m Desiree!
Brooklyn’s Trauma + Anxiety Specialist
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who was lucky enough to have been born, raised and educated in New York City. I’ve been in the mental health field for 14+ years, providing mental and emotional support for New Yorkers experiencing anxiety, trauma and chronic stress. Curious how I got here? Happy to share 😊
A therapist with Brooklyn roots
I'm a true Brooklynite, born and raised in Bay Ridge like the two generations before me. My passion for mental health care was ignited through life experiences that led me to the fascinating world of neuroscience and holistic wellness.
How to become a trauma therapist in NYC
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Brooklyn College and a Masters in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. My education laid the foundation for a career in helping the voiceless feel heard while standing up to injustice.
Holistic anxiety + trauma therapy for adults in NY
Prior to launching my private practice in 2017, I had the privilege of working in various roles within esteemed NYC organizations. These experiences allowed me to collaborate with dedicated colleagues and support clients from diverse backgrounds, witnessing profound resilience and traumatic growth while healing in community.
The journey of a Brooklyn psychotherapist
I've served as a therapist, group facilitator, clinical supervisor, researcher, and program director in community mental health settings across New York and the tri-state area. Each role deepened my understanding and dedication for this work while making me acutely aware of the systems failing so many. Eager to find ethical detours around backwards policies and unmoving gatekeepers, I decided to take my act solo.
