My practice is deeply empathetic and intuitive, utilizes unique life experience and is rooted in the psychodynamic and attachment theory modalities. I also apply trauma-informed care, CBT, and other evidence-based practices, which allows clients to see real and actual positive changes in their lives. For me, process and progress go hand in hand.

I specialize in men’s mental health, focusing on the intersection of OCD, chronic pain/illness, and agoraphobia/panic disorder. My work centers on fostering resilience, exploring masculinity, and helping clients create more meaning in their lives. I strive to support men as they navigate life’s complexities while addressing the unique pressures and expectations they face. Through an authentic, educational, and collaborative approach, I help clients break unhelpful patterns, embrace support, and build fulfilling, authentic lives.

Welcome. I’m an individual, couples and group therapist, offering sessions in person in downtown Brooklyn, NY. I offer 30 years of experience in the field. I’m also a professor of Exercise Science and Psychology.
I would like to encourage men to consider interpersonal group therapy. Men need and want what we all want, that is to feel connected. No tools to learn, handbooks to read, no feelings to ‘manage’ or ‘regulate’. Thoughts and feelings are not bad or good, they provide information about dynamics, current and past. Consultations regarding membership in this diverse, inclusive, in person, Downtown Brooklyn group, is free of charge.

Are you feeling stuck? Ready to feel more peace? More joy? Ready to take the next step towards stronger relationships, self love, laughing more, and finding your sense of purpose? My intent as a therapist is to become a mirror, reflecting your deepest desires, life purpose, and the patterns that keep you from living your fullest life.
I utilize trauma- informed evidence-based practices that help the therapy move quickly such as EMDR and CBT helping you identify core beliefs and resolve inflexible patterns of thoughts- feelings- and behaviors. I look forward to connecting with you!

Many of my clients feel uncomfortable or unsatisfied going through their daily lives, though they aren’t quite sure why. This generally manifests into anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected from themselves and others, and not being able to make change. I specialize in helping clients chart a course for enlightenment and self-improvement through conversations about past and current ways of navigating the world , along with building up psychological tools to handle life’s stressors.

A trusted advisor to leaders, founders, and professionals managing complex roles, Dr. Kessler has 30 years of experience and is sought by those navigating major inflection points – from mental/emotional overload and performance plateaus to relationship recalibration.
Dr. Kessler is focused, directive, and works to help clients clarify their goals, strengthen performance, and reclaim emotional energy. No psychobabble, just focused, outcome-driven work, customized to your needs.
He focuses on issues common to men, such as sleep, resolving communication and distancing issues in relationships, decreasing performance-based anxiety and stress, and smoothing life transitions and self-doubt.

I have a blended approach with my clients pulling from psychoanalytic, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, DBT, and somatic modalities. Additionally, I take a client-centered approach ensuring that I am conceptualizing the client holistically and learning what styles would benefit them best while holding the therapeutic relationship in high regard. I work with adult 18+ and teens and focus on issues of childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, relationship issues, substance abuse, lack of motivation, and self-esteem.

Together we will engage in an empathetic, genuine, and caring way, making my approach non-judgmental, eclectic, and safe. We will focus on where you are in the moment and what you want to develop in the process. My clients often go through overwhelming life transitions, from events such as moving away from home to losing a loved one. I also work with people who have faced challenges in the workplace, including people of color, women, and people who are LGBTQ.

For men who are used to being in control, anxiety can feel like something to push past rather than address. But ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. It often builds up over time, impacting your focus, relationships, and overall well-being. I help high-achieving men break out of stress and overthinking, work with emotions in a way that feels productive, and regain a sense of confidence and control.

Werking
Werking
At Werking, we believe men’s mental health deserves the same attention as physical health. Too often, men are told to “push through” or stay silent, but real strength comes from doing the work of healing. Our approach combines therapy and medication management to help men build resilience, balance, and confidence.
We know it takes effort to face challenges head-on, and we’re here to meet you where you are, walk beside you, and put in the work with you. Because when you show up for yourself, therapy truly starts Werking
