# Dr. Jonathan Detrixhe, Ph.D., MFA - Clinical Psychologist, Greenpoint Brooklyn

## Overview
Jonathan Detrixhe, Ph.D., MFA (pronounced "Dee-trick", pronouns he/him/his) is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Greenpoint, Brooklyn since 2011. He offers psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adults and couples, and can provide referrals to other clinicians when helpful.

## Who he works with
He works with people whose active, creative lives have been interrupted by depression, mania, anxiety, mourning, and trauma. He has particular experience with artists and computer engineers who struggle with the demands of those professions, especially attention, focus, and procrastination. He also works with couples seeking to improve their relationship. All ethnicities, genders, and orientations are welcome, and he can be helpful to people going through a gender transition.

## How he works
Dr. Detrixhe describes psychotherapy as a process of guided expression: thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice, loud, clear, and without judgment. As patterns become clear, patients can consider alternatives, find the courage to change, and experience freedom. He frames mental health as developing a "Full Self": a version of you that can love hard and work hard, understand complex motivations, and experience feelings, including painful ones, without being overwhelmed. His approach draws from ongoing training in both psychodynamic therapy and CBT.
