Humanistic and Experiential Therapy in Brooklyn, NY

Every individual has the capacity for growth, self-discovery, and healing. Humanistic and Experiential Therapies are compassionate approaches that focus on the whole person — mind, body, and emotions. At Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy, we offer these therapies to help individuals connect with their authentic selves, process their emotions in meaningful ways, and foster personal transformation.

What Are Humanistic and Experiential Therapies?

Humanistic and Experiential Therapies prioritize self-awareness, personal growth, and emotional expression. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, these therapies emphasize your lived experiences, strengths, and potential. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental space, they allow you to explore your emotions and experiences at your own pace.

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Low self-esteem or self-worth
  • Trauma and grief
  • Personal growth and self-exploration
  • Relationship challenges

Our Humanistic and Experiential Therapy Approaches

Person-entered Therapy

We believe that healing starts with feeling truly heard and understood. In Person-Centered Therapy, our therapists create a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This approach helps you develop self-awareness, confidence, and a greater sense of control over your life, encouraging personal growth at your own pace.

Humanistic Therapy

Our Humanistic Therapy approach is centered on helping you embrace your full potential by focusing on your strengths and inner resources. We provide a compassionate space for self-exploration, helping you overcome obstacles, build resilience, and align with your core values to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt Therapy emphasizes being present and fully engaged with your experiences. Our therapists guide you in recognizing patterns, understanding emotions, and fostering self-acceptance. By focusing on the here and now, we help you develop the tools to manage challenges with greater awareness and authenticity.

Expressive Arts Therapy

Creative expression can be a powerful way to explore emotions and navigate personal challenges. Our Expressive Arts Therapy sessions provide a safe space to use art, music, and movement as therapeutic tools to unlock feelings, reduce stress, and enhance self-awareness. This approach helps clients find new perspectives and pathways to healing.

Play Therapy

Children process their emotions differently than adults, which is why Play Therapy provides a safe, engaging environment for them to express themselves naturally. Our therapists use play as a tool to help children explore feelings, build coping skills, and develop emotional resilience in a way that feels comfortable and intuitive for them.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy helps you explore the different parts of yourself that contribute to your thoughts and behaviors. Our therapists guide you in understanding and embracing these inner dynamics, fostering self-compassion, balance, and emotional healing. IFS provides a pathway to greater self-understanding and harmony.
