What makes Transcendent Self Therapy different?

A Space To Be Fully Yourself

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying too much alone—or when you’ve had to perform roles that don’t reflect who you really are. You might feel stuck in familiar patterns, hidden behind expectations, disconnected from joy or creativity, or unsure how to move forward.

Therapy at Transcendent Self is a space where you don’t have to perform. You’ll be seen for who you are, and supported in discovering who you want to become.

In our work together, you can expect to:

  • Feel understood, accepted, and affirmed

  • Break through patterns that keep you stuck

  • Reconnect with joy, creativity, and purpose

  • Build insight and skills that carry into daily life

Therapy here is collaborative and tailored—never one-size-fits-all.

Founded and Directed by Dr. Kateri Berasi, Clinical Psychologist
Bridging psychological rigor, creative exploration, and radical attention to the inner world.

A Practice Guided by Vision

Dr. Kateri Berasi created Transcendent Self Therapy as a space for depth-oriented psychotherapy that honors complexity, creativity, and the full spectrum of human experience. Based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the practice reflects her vision of therapy as both deeply relational and expansively human — a place where psychological rigor meets imagination, curiosity, and meaningful change.

Rather than building a one-size-fits-all group practice, Dr. Berasi has cultivated a vibrant ecosystem of clinicians, each bringing their own voice, training, and sensibility while sharing an openness to the vastness of inner life. Here, therapy becomes more than symptom relief. It becomes a space to slow down, listen inward, and reclaim the parts of yourself that have been waiting to emerge. The clinicians you meet below are thoughtfully chosen and supported within this larger vision of healing, depth, and transformation.

Our Approach

We believe therapy should meet the whole person, not just the problem. Our work is grounded in an integrative approach that blends insight-oriented talk therapy with creative, experiential, and evidence-based methods—allowing care to be responsive, nuanced, and deeply human.

Our therapists bring diverse training backgrounds, identities, languages, cultures, and life experiences, offering clients the opportunity to find a strong, supportive fit. What unites us is a shared ethos at Transcendent Self: a commitment to curiosity, compassion, depth, and helping people feel truly seen and understood as they grow.
