Psychotherapist Brooklyn, NYC
Armina Kadriovski, LMSW
I am an LGBT+ affirming therapist who tailors treatments by incorporating different evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Clients who know the power of therapy and want to take an active role in their lives can truly benefit from us working together toward achieving their treatment goals. I have experience treating clients with many diagnoses including generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, somatic symptom disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I have also worked with people who have struggled with gender identity, sexuality, family conflict, and relationship issues.
My warmth and genuineness as a therapist create a unique connection with my clients, making them feel truly seen and valued. Other therapists may take a “blank slate” approach, but I find that showing up authentically as myself creates a safe, non-judgmental space that allows clients to show their own personalities and explore their emotions freely.
My approach to therapy is one of collaboration that honors my clients as the experts of their own lives while incorporating my therapeutic knowledge. Positive changes my clients see after consistently working with me include decreased anxiety, higher self-esteem, improved communication skills, effective boundary setting, and healthier relationships.
A personal mission of mine is to advocate for social justice, dedicating my efforts to creating a more equitable and inclusive world. I am committed to standing up for the rights of marginalized communities, amplifying the voices of the silenced and unheard, and challenging systemic injustices ranging from healthcare disparities to apartheid. Through activism and compassionate action, I strive to defend and support those who are vulnerable, fostering a society where everyone can thrive with dignity and respect.
When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with family and friends or reading webcomics, fanfiction, or the occasional physical in-your-hand book from my extensive bookcase of unread books. I also enjoy writing, molding clay creations, watching my comfort shows, and playing video games.
