Meet Our Brooklyn Therapists
Finding the right therapist is personal.
Our team is made up of four licensed creative arts therapists (LCAT, ATR-BC) — clinicians trained in both psychotherapy and art therapy, with additional certifications in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused care.
We're women-led, feminist, anti-oppressive, and affirming. We see adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, depression, and the weight of creative life in New York.
Our Shared Approach
Trauma-informed — we understand how trauma lives in the body and nervous system, not just in memory.
Feminist and anti-oppressive — we name the systems that shape mental health, rather than pathologizing the people inside them.
Culturally aware — we see identity (race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, class) as integral to the work, not incidental.
Integrative — we combine art therapy with other evidence-based modalities (EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, psychodynamic) matched to you.
Rooted in Brooklyn — our space is small, light-filled, and intentionally not a clinic. Brick walls, real artwork, room to breathe — the setting is part of how the work happens. Part of the Held Space collective.
Our Team

Jennifer Warpool, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
Jennifer's focus is eating disorders and work with young adults, alongside anxiety, depression, and trauma. Integrative, collaborative, and TF-CBT trained, she leans into talk-based work, with art where words run out. Weight-inclusive, always.
Emily Hardy, MA, MPS, LCAT, ATR-BC
Our most structured clinician: thorough, rigorous, by the book. Emily is the team's most experienced EMDR practitioner and works with complex PTSD, with a strong pull toward creative, queer, and BIPOC clients.
Brittany Johnston, MA, LCAT
Brittany spent years in treatment centers and her own practice before Brooklyn North. EMDR certified, with training in yoga therapy and trauma-and-the-arts work, she leans on the body as much as talk.
Most of our clients see us out-of-network. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits — and many PPO plans do — you can typically get 50–80% of each session reimbursed directly by your insurer.
Here's how it works: you pay our session fee up front, we send you a superbill (an itemized receipt with the codes your insurer needs) once a month, and you submit it for reimbursement. We're happy to walk you through it on your consult call, and we can help you check your out-of-network benefits before you book.
In-network options. We're also in-network with:
Aetna
Cigna
Healthfirst (including Medicaid — limited slots)
Sliding scale. A small number of reduced-fee spots open up throughout the year. Ask on your consult call if cost is a barrier — we'd rather have the conversation than have you not reach out.

Where to Find Us in Brooklyn
960 Manhattan Avenue, 4th Floor
Brooklyn, NY 11222
Our practice sits on the top floor of a Greenpoint building on Manhattan Avenue, two blocks from McCarren Park and a two-minute walk from the Greenpoint Avenue G train. The 4th-floor windows pull in a lot of north-facing afternoon light, which is part of why we picked the room — creative arts therapy is body-based work, and the space matters.
Getting here. The G stops at Greenpoint Avenue (3 min walk) and Nassau Avenue (14 min). The B43 bus runs along Manhattan Avenue. Street parking is usually available on the side streets off Manhattan Ave after 6pm, & paid spots are almost always available on Manhattan Ave.
