Katarina

LCAT, BC-DMT

Katarina “Kat” Bennicoff Yundt, MS, LCAT, BC-DMT, provides trauma-informed psychotherapy for adults and couples in Brooklyn and throughout New York State via telehealth. Her practice, Somageist Psychotherapy, specializes in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people pleasing, and the relational patterns that can develop in response to difficult or overwhelming experiences.

Kat works particularly well with thoughtful, creative, high-achieving, and neurodivergent adults who may look capable and high-functioning on the outside while experiencing chronic anxiety, hypervigilance, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, exhaustion, or disconnection from themselves. Many clients have learned to anticipate other people’s needs, stay in control, be dependable, or minimize their own needs in order to cope.

Her trauma-informed approach integrates talk therapy with somatic and experiential practices, including body awareness, Dance/Movement Therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches. Therapy may involve noticing physical sensations, exploring patterns of activation or shutdown, making space for emotions, and developing greater awareness of the connections between the body, nervous system, relationships, and lived experience. Movement can be subtle or active, and no dance experience is required.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms or asking clients to simply think their way through difficult experiences, Kat helps clients understand the patterns that developed to help them cope and explore new ways of relating to themselves, their bodies, and their relationships. Her work supports greater self-trust, flexibility, agency, and connection while honoring each client's individual history, identity, and pace.

Kat is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist with a master's degree in Dance/Movement Therapy from Pratt Institute. She brings a relational, collaborative, and compassionate approach to trauma therapy, integrating her training in somatic and creative approaches with evidence-informed psychotherapy.

You understand your trauma. You've done the work, maybe for years. And your body still won't settle — the panic, the hypervigilance, the sleep that doesn't come.

That gap between knowing you're safe and feeling it is a nervous system problem, not a failure of insight. And for people navigating racism, marginalization, and systemic harm, hypervigilance isn't a disorder — it's an accurate response to real conditions, one that doesn't switch off when you finally get somewhere safe.

I'm a licensed therapist offering neurofeedback alongside EMDR, somatic therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy. Neurofeedback trains your brain directly, using EEG data to build regulation from the bottom up — a different route in when talk therapy has taken you as far as it can. I integrate it into an ongoing therapeutic relationship rather than delivering it as standalone sessions, and I work from a liberation framework grounded in nervous system science.

Neurofeedback is rare in liberation-oriented practice, and liberation-oriented care is rare in neurofeedback. I offer both.

Previously spent nearly a decade at the NYC Health Department working on health equity and racial disparities. Brooklyn-based, in-person Fridays and remote throughout the week.

Candice

LCSW

My approach to therapy is relational, trauma-informed, and liberation-centered, focusing on connection to your body, your ancestors, and your unique cultural identity. I believe that healing isn’t meant to be an individual process, but a collective one. We weren’t meant to do this work alone. I believe that liberation is intertwined with our ability to heal from the wounds passed along to us. My practice is rooted in social justice and decolonial values, empowering you to reclaim your power and challenge any narrative that focuses on blaming the individual instead of the system. My gentle approach creates a sense of belonging and through collaboration, it allows you to explore your experiences and see your strengths. I'm dedicated to providing culturally-sensitive care that honors your identity and supports your healing. I am currently in my final year of my Doctorate in Social Work program where my scholarship is focused on community-based interventions that lead to pathways of healing intergenerational trauma.

Marilyn

LCSW

I am an integrative psychotherapist offering a neurobiological-based approach that combines mindfulness based experiential therapies.These cutting edge therapies (stated below) will help free clients from negative beliefs, overwhelming emotions, and distressing behaviors. They can regain their vitality and be in theirn authentic self allowing them to enjoy life and cope with life's travails. .
More important than my technical expertise is my ability to create an atmosphere of trust and safety for clients to get to know themselves without shame, blame but with curiosity and compassion. Many of the people that I work with have told me "you get me" and feel seen, heard, and validated.

LCSW

I'm an AEDP certified therapist with training in a range of somatically focused trauma therapies, specializing in working with high achieving men who are struggling in their relationships. I have also trained with Laurel Parnell and like to incorporate AF-EMDR when it makes sense. I often work with couples where at least one member of the couple has experienced trauma and find that EFT and PACT work well in helping couples heal and develop greater intimacy.

Antonieta

LCSW-R

I'm a trauma therapist who brings scientific rigor and compassionate realism to emotional healing. Rather than pathologizing everyday struggles or offering quick fixes, I help clients accurately assess their emotional wounds—distinguishing between daily friction, emotional pain, and genuine trauma—so we can choose the healing approach that actually fits their experience. My work emphasizes human resilience and adaptability, guiding people to reclaim their agency in recovery while honoring the complexity of their pain. With expertise in trauma, attachment wounds, and emotional regulation, I create space for clients to understand their responses as intelligent adaptations rather than signs of brokenness, fostering hope grounded in neuroscience rather than wishful thinking.
