Getting to know Ishmaella Brutus

I am a non-binary Black therapist offering therapy services to individuals and couples. I generally use a trauma-informed level of care during our sessions, but if you're looking for gender-affirming care, depression and anxiety management, or ADHD support, you’ve come to the right place. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to clients. I work with you to understand what will help you reach your goals or process life events that keep you from doing what you love. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College, which informs my compassionate and individualized approach to therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer a very relaxing environment to conduct session. Clients can expect a worm and inviting nature when it comes to discussing hard and deep topics. I am not someone you have to be shy around. I can assure you, I will meet you where you are and can hold anything you bring to me.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical therapy process starts with the therapeutic relationship. In trauma informed care, how we engage with each other during our sessions can be just as healing as the work you do outside of sessions.
