David Katzenstein

David Katzenstein, LCSW is a Brooklyn-based licensed psychotherapist who treats adults, couples, children and adolescents.  In his practice he sees individuals with a host of issues including anxiety, depression, abuse/trauma, ADHD, self-esteem, behavior disorders, and family and relationship conflict. He has advanced clinical training in a number of evidenced-based practices including CBT, ACT, EMDR, as well as psycho-dynamic approaches, and is nationally certified in the treatment of PTSD. 

​David collaborates with each client to develop a highly tailored treatment plan which best suits the needs of the individual. The goal of therapy is for each client to become his or her own therapist; to develop the skills and tools needed so that one doesn't need therapy forever. He firmly believes in both the process and practical components of therapy- that talking about one's challenges in a safe, warm environment is inherently therapeutic, but one also needs practical tools and skills to make real and long-lasting changes. 

As a practicing therapist and an Adjunct Professor of Psychology, David understands the importance of receiving empathetic and effective care for your or your child.
