Karen H Senecal-Davis is a licensed psychotherapist located in Brooklyn, NY. She completed her five-year training in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies and has been in private practice since 2013. Her specialities include depression and/or anxiety, sexual and gender identity, support for parents of LGBTQ+ children/adolescents, social justice issues, life transitions, and grief and loss. Karen offers a supportive environment in which to explore the myriad feelings that can arise. She is committed to being an anti-racist clinician.

Message to clients

Today you are one step closer to a new you, a you who feels empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

My goal is to help you uncover your passions and true potential. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand them and resolve challenges in your present life. Together we will unearth long-standing behavioral patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to specific individual needs to help each patient attain the personal they're striving for.
