Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4 mi away • Brooklyn, NY


Are you... A young adult struggling in the attempt to to navigate life transitions, school, the workforce, family life or other issues?
Or a couple having trouble finding the right words to communicate and find expression in your relationship?
You can thrive.



Hi! I’m Hudi Kowalsky, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a passion to help teens and young adults find meaning and purpose in their lives.



How my practice is different:


Goal Focused Therapy. I believe in short, goal-focused therapy. That’s why, we set goals and together we hit the ground running. If you put in the work, you’ll see results within 12 weeks. I know that’s a bold statement, but my past clients can attest to that.


Client Feedback. I check in periodically on your thoughts about the process. I want to hear from you, what’s working? What isn’t? Is there anything that you’d like to see different? And then I tweak it accordingly.



I know it can be hard to find the right therapist. Maybe you think it’s only for people with “serious” issues. Maybe you’ve been to a few therapists but you didn’t see change and you’re wondering what another therapist can offer you. Maybe you’re afraid of what people will think of you if you go to therapy. Maybe you’re not sure therapy is worth the investment.



I understand. That’s why I’m here to answer any questions you may have prior to booking an intake session.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brooklyn

Finding the right therapist in Brooklyn starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LMHC, psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer the right type of support. Brooklyn is home to providers trained in a wide range of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and couples therapy.

With thousands of providers across neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Park Slope, DUMBO, and Bed-Stuy, narrowing your search can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you: a provider who specializes in a specific concern, someone who offers virtual sessions, or a therapist located near your home or office. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Therapy in Brooklyn can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
