We’re thrilled to share some exciting news — Resilient Mind Psychotherapy has been nominated for Best of Brooklyn 2026! 🌟
This recognition means so much to our team because it represents more than just a nomination — it’s a celebration of community, care, and the power of connection in mental health.
What “Best of Brooklyn” Means to Us
Brooklyn is a place defined by diversity, resilience, and creativity. To be recognized among so many outstanding local professionals and businesses is an incredible honor.
At Resilient Mind Psychotherapy, our mission has always been simple yet deeply meaningful: to create a space where therapists thrive — and that same care extends to everyone we serve.
Every day, our clinicians work to support children, teens, and adults as they navigate challenges like anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship stress. We believe therapy should be accessible, inclusive, and rooted in empathy — values that reflect the very heart of Brooklyn itself.
Building a Community Around Healing
Our nomination is more than a professional milestone; it’s a reflection of the community we’ve built together — clients, therapists, families, and supporters.
We’ve grown by focusing on collaboration, innovation, and compassion. From individual to group therapy for children and teens, every service we offer is designed to promote resilience, confidence, and emotional balance.
And just as we help clients build strong internal foundations, we’ve built a team culture grounded in support and shared growth. Each therapist at Resilient Mind is encouraged to bring their expertise, passion, and creativity into the room — because when therapists thrive, clients flourish too.
Why Mental Health Recognition Matters
Mental health has become an increasingly visible and important part of community well-being. The Best of Brooklyn nomination helps spotlight the importance of accessible therapy and the value of choosing licensed, compassionate professionals.
For too long, stigma has made many people hesitant to seek support. By being recognized publicly, we hope to send a clear message: seeking therapy is an act of strength. Whether it’s managing anxiety, coping with grief, or building self-esteem, getting help is a powerful step toward healing.
What Makes Resilient Mind Psychotherapy Different
Here’s what sets our practice apart in Brooklyn’s growing mental health landscape:
🌱 A Collaborative Approach
We view therapy as a partnership. Together, clients and therapists work to uncover root causes, identify strengths, and build long-term coping skills.
🧠 Evidence-Based Care
Our clinicians use proven modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and trauma-informed techniques — always personalized to each client’s unique needs.
💬 Inclusive, Culturally Sensitive Support
Brooklyn’s strength lies in its diversity. Our team reflects that richness, ensuring care that is affirming, inclusive, and respectful of all backgrounds and identities.
👩👧 Focus on Family and Youth
From self-esteem groups for young girls to emotional awareness programs for kids, our group therapy offerings help children develop confidence, empathy, and resilience from an early age.
Why Your Vote Matters
Awards like Best of Brooklyn aren’t just about recognition — they help amplify voices in our community doing meaningful work. Each vote supports local therapists, staff, and programs dedicated to improving lives every single day.
Your vote tells Brooklyn that mental health matters. It tells parents that help is available for their children. It tells individuals struggling in silence that they are not alone.

Looking Ahead
This nomination energizes us to continue expanding our impact — offering new programs, collaborating with schools, and providing more accessible care options.
We’re deeply grateful to every client, family, and colleague who has trusted us with their growth and healing. You are the reason we do what we do.
Together, we’ll continue building a resilient community — one that values mental wellness as an essential part of life in Brooklyn.
