At Resilient Mind Psychotherapy in Brooklyn, NY, our team of dedicated psychotherapists, including LCSWs and LMSWs, is committed to providing high-quality care for individuals grappling with a range of mental health challenges. One area of expertise lies in the comprehensive treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the often co-occurring anxiety disorders. Our holistic approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Art Therapy, fostering resilience and promoting lasting well-being.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a complex mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety. At Resilient Mind Psychotherapy, we recognize the unique nature of each individual’s struggle with OCD and tailor our treatments to address the specific needs of our clients.

Research consistently supports the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a gold standard in the treatment of OCD. Our therapists employ a compassionate and collaborative CBT approach, working with clients to identify and reframe obsessive thoughts while developing healthier coping mechanisms. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a specialized form of CBT, is particularly effective in gradually exposing individuals to feared thoughts or situations, allowing them to build resilience and reduce the need for compulsive rituals.
In addition to CBT, we integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes acceptance and change strategies. DBT equips individuals with the skills to manage distress, regulate emotions, and improve interpersonal effectiveness, enhancing overall well-being.
EXCELLENT Based on 82 reviews Posted on Google Mariana HorpynychTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been with Resilient Mind for over two years, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Yana, Sabrina, and the entire team for such a positive experience. Therapy has helped me tremendously on a personal level. It gave me the strength to leave a toxic relationship with my ex-husband, establish healthy boundaries, and focus on my own well-being. Over the past two years, my life has changed significantly, and I truly believe that Resilient Mind played an important role in that journey. I highly recommend Resilient Mind to anyone seeking support. They genuinely care about their clients and are committed to helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. One piece of advice I would share is not to be afraid to change therapists if you feel your needs are not being fully met. Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. I personally worked with two different therapists before finding the right fit, and that experience helped me better understand what I needed from therapy. A special thank you to Suzanne, who is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and compassionate. Working with her has made a meaningful difference in my life. In my opinion, we all can benefit from therapy for different reasons. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and investing in your mental health can truly change your life. ❤️

Thanks so much for the review Mariana! 😊🙏Posted on Google OK TETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really want to thank Yana for going above and beyond in helping us find a therapist for our 7 year old. She paired him with Phyllis, who was absolutely lovely. My son said that he felt comfortable speaking with her and was excited to see her guitar, art supplies, and wall of sequins. 🙏

My child has been working with Lala Dzhafarova and we could not be more grateful for the care, support, and guidance she provided. She helped her learn ways to feel more confident, grounded and better able to handle difficult situations. And we highly recommend her to other families.

Hey Jeimmy we are happy to hear that you have had a good experience with Resilient Mind =)Posted on Google Julia LeonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started therapy a few weeks ago with Laura Esquival Martinez. In just a few sessions, she made me feel very comfortable and welcoming. I was able to connect with her in my own peace. Which I appreciate it because it’s hard to open up to a total stranger. We quickly connected and so far is going very well. Thank you Laura for helping, I look forward to continue therapy with you.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder often coexists with anxiety disorders, amplifying the challenges individuals face. Our therapists at Resilient Mind Psychotherapy understand the intricate connection between OCD and anxiety, and we employ a multifaceted approach to address both issues simultaneously.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is incorporated to enhance self-awareness and cultivate a non-judgmental acceptance of the present moment. By integrating mindfulness practices, clients develop the skills to observe their thoughts without becoming overwhelmed, reducing anxiety and breaking the cycle of compulsive behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another evidence-based therapy used to address the impact of past traumas that may contribute to OCD symptoms and anxiety. EMDR therapy helps individuals reprocess distressing memories, fostering adaptive resolution and reducing associated symptoms.
Art Therapy is a valuable tool in our toolkit, allowing clients to express thoughts and emotions that may be challenging to verbalize. This creative modality supports the exploration of underlying issues contributing to OCD and anxiety, promoting self-discovery and healing.

By integrating evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, MBSR, EMDR, and Art Therapy, our team strives to empower clients on their journey towards lasting recovery.
