Getting to know Steven Paker

Every one of us is an experiment, and we don’t even know what the experiment is testing. Nobody’s perfect, but we all fall short so beautifully. I believe that, and it shapes how I work. You don’t have to arrive with answers or a polished story. In therapy, I’ll meet you where you are, with curiosity instead of judgment, and we’ll figure out together what matters and what you want to change. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist in Brooklyn, practicing under clinical supervision. I work with individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on adults and families navigating ADHD and autism. Whether you’re newly questioning, recently diagnosed, or have known your whole life that your brain works differently, I see neurodivergence as a way of being wired, not something to fix. Together we can work on what is hard, like focus, overwhelm, communication, and burnout, while building on what already works for you. I’m bilingual in English and Turkish, so you can do this work in the language that feels most like home. My background in information systems and financial analytics also means I’m good at spotting patterns, whether they show up in a relationship, a family system, or the way you talk to yourself. I offer sessions in person at my Bensonhurst office and online by video, including weekends. If you’re not sure therapy is for you yet, that’s okay. Reach out and we can start with a conversation.
