Jena Brook, Associate Therapist, MSW-I

My therapeutic style is collaborative, engaged, and creative. I want to create a space that allows you to freely explore whatever topics are most important to you. Together we will work to identify any places where you feel stuck or beliefs that are limiting your ability to grow and flourish. I am open, non-judgmental, compassionate and eager to hear your story.

I have a background working with teens and love to work with young people and emerging adults in the process of building their lives. As a parent of a 7 year old and a college student, I have experience balancing career and parenting in New York City. My previous work was in creative fields and I’m interested in supporting people in their professional and creative development and evolution.

Modality and Approach

My approach to therapy is client centered and tailored to your needs. I have a strengths-based approach that includes elements from multiple perspectives. I don’t believe in one size fits all therapy. Techniques and modalities I use include psychodynamic, attachment theory, Trauma-informed care, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and Family Constellations. I love to incorporate elements of art therapy and mindfulness when needed. Together we can find what approach resonates and works best for you.

What is one thing you do daily that supports your mental and emotional well-being?

I try to spend as much time as I can eating and laughing with friends and family. I love to visit museums whenever I can, to get outside in nature, and go to the movies. I have a longstanding yoga practice and it helps to keep me sane in the city.
