I am a licensed Creative Arts Psychotherapist in private practice in NY and serve anyone based in New York State.
I have over 25 years of clinical experiences in treating culturally diverse clients. My immigration and bicultural experiences as an Asian-American have given a keen awareness of how our intersectional identities influence our perception of ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we navigate the broader world.
I draw from various therapeutic disciplines: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; AEDP; Attachment-Focused EMDR; IFS; Somatic Psychotherapy; Mindfulness-based Therapy; Couples/Family Therapy, and Art Therapy.

Hello. I am pleased to join the Women's Mental Health Consortium and look forward to collaborating with colleagues going forward.

Her popular parenting podcast, Securely Attached, is ranked in the top 2% of podcasts worldwide and is a go-to resource for parents looking for judgment-free, research-backed information related to pregnancy, toddlerhood, adolescence, and everything in between.

Debra Koenig is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Westport, CT with a tele-health practice in New York. Clients often seek psychotherapy because something feels “off” in their lives or there are struggles which develop as a result of developmental and life transitions in their families. Unexplored behavioral and emotional responses can keep us feeling “stuck” and prevent us from fulfilling relationships and careers. Each client is unique and there is no such thing as “one size, fits all” therapy. Successful therapy is a collaboration between the client and therapist. I provide both long-term treatment as well as shorter term support for clients facing a major setback/transition.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in alcohol and substance use issues and individual adult therapy. I see clients in my Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, office and virtually on zoom.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in NY and NJ, who works with adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating individuals and couples who are struggling with aspects of their identity, navigating difficult life transitions, parenthood, perinatal mental health, and relationship challenges. My practice is trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ Affirming. My approach is warm, collaborative and insight-oriented.

My skills come from significant training in: Relational psychoanalytic therapy, Trauma focused modalities informed by brain research (incl EMDR, IFS and other somatic interventions), Family systems, Couples therapy, Mindfulness and CBT.
I use a contemporary psychodynamic-integrative approach with my clientele, integrating the most current theories in mind/body psychology.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, all of the above, or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. Even if your identity isn’t central to your therapy goals, I will always aim to honor and validate every part of your identity in our work.

I am a therapist licensed in NY & NJ in private practice seeing clients virtually. My specialty is working with women and queer folks in their 20's-30's who may appear successful or high functioning externally, but are struggling inside. Commonly I see depression, anxiety and ADHD or other neurodivergences that manifests in these clients in the form of harsh self talk or self doubt, despite the things they've achieved. Many of the clients I see have experienced traumas and benefit from a relational approach and my use of EMDR.
