Getting to our office
Several subway lines connect Fort Greene to Crown Heights within 20 minutes.

From Lafayette Ave, ride to Nostrand Ave, then transfer to the B44 bus or walk south
- G Train
From Fulton St or Clinton-Washington, ride to Franklin Ave, transfer to the S Shuttle
- B25/B26 Bus
Eastbound along Fulton, connecting to Nostrand Ave
- 3 Train (preferred)
From Atlantic Ave–Barclays, ride the 3 to Kingston Ave, then a short walk south
The 3 from Atlantic Ave–Barclays to Kingston Ave is the most direct route.
Driving: street parking is usually available on Carroll Street and the surrounding blocks, and there is a municipal lot on Rogers Avenue. The office is at 1398 Carroll Street, between Kingston and Brooklyn Avenues.
In person or by video
Every clinician sees clients both ways. In person means our office in Crown Heights, about 20 min from Fort Greene on the C Train. By video means a secure link, a private room wherever you are, and the same clinician, the same session and the same insurance.
Many people do both: in person to start, video in the weeks when getting across Brooklyn is the thing standing between them and the session. You choose each time you book, not once.
Who you might see
