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.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to explore issues related to relationships, sex and sexuality. Often times shame, guilt, anxiety and sadness are the core emotions at the center of our distress. Together we can work towards facing some of these negative and uncomfortable feelings in order to lead you towards a path of healing and empowerment. In understanding yourself and your needs better I hope you can begin to feel more confident in making decisions, letting go of the things you may have been holding onto, or feeling more connected to yourself and others.

I’m a licensed therapist in New York specializing in men’s mental health, with advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) — an approach that helps you understand the different parts of yourself that drive your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with men navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, using a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that meets you where you are.
Taking the first step can often be the hardest, so I offer no-cost consultation calls to discuss what therapy together can look like.

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, tailored to the goals and preferences of the client. My treatment style is integrative and strength-based and can incorporate tenets of CBT, motivational interviewing, crisis management, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed counseling, depending on the client’s unique situation.
I enjoy nothing more than bringing out the best in others, seeing them grow, and helping them attain peace and happiness that has eluded them.

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!

Dr. Joanne Heith
Dr. Joanne Heith
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.
