Who it helps
Couples Therapy in Brooklyn
When conversations turn into arguments or you feel distant from your partner, it can be difficult to find your way back to each other. Couples therapy helps you explore what’s beneath recurring conflicts, communicate more openly, and understand each other’s needs. We’ll work together to clarify your relationship goals and develop ways to move forward.
Who it helps
Parent Coaching
Parenting can bring moments when you’re unsure how to respond or when familiar strategies no longer seem to work. Parent coaching offers practical support to help you understand your child’s behavior, set boundaries, and respond with greater confidence. Together, we’ll develop approaches that fit your family and can be used in everyday situations.
Who it helps
Parent Coordination
When co-parenting conflict makes everyday decisions difficult, parent coordination provides a structured way to address disagreements. As a neutral professional, I help parents clarify expectations, improve communication, and keep their child’s needs at the center of discussions. Unlike therapy, this service focuses on practical co-parenting issues and conflict management.
Who it helps
- I strive to create a where you feel truly heard, valued, and supported — without judgment.
- I connect with clients where they are in life and recognize that every step is growth.
- I meet every client with curiosity and compassion, honoring your unique experience and belief in your capacity to grow.
You deserve to be understood
As a psychologist, my first goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I believe that therapy isn’t something I do to you — it’s something we do together. Your story, your pace, and your needs shape the process.
Hi, I’m David Tzall, Psy.D.
A personal, collaborative approach to therapy
Finding a psychologist is about more than credentials. You want someone who listens, understands what you’re going through, and makes it feel possible to speak openly.
I’m David Tzall, a licensed psychologist with over ten years of experience working with individuals and couples in private practice and institutional settings. I take an active role in our conversations, offering thoughtful questions and reflections to help you understand your experiences and explore what you want to change.
My work draws on training in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. Just as importantly, it starts with getting to know you—your story, your relationships, and what matters to you. Together, we’ll shape the work around your needs and goals.

What you might be wondering
-
It is completely normal to wonder if you will feel comfortable. Sharing personal stories at first can feel overwhelming and uneasy as it can feel vulnerable. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, and we can go at a pace that works for you. Building trust takes time and we continually focus on our relationship to make you comfortable in sharing that which is important. Always know that you are in control.
-
This is a popular question when starting therapy as it can be the first time you are telling your story to someone else or even yourself. Therapy is a deeply personal experience and everyone’s path can look and feel different. Some may know right away and others might need a few sessions to see how it feels. Therapy can be helpful if you are looking for support with difficult emotions, patterns you want to change, or just a space to understand yourself better.
-
Our first meeting is the intake session. Aside from reviewing logistics and policies, it is the first chance to hear from you on what your goals are and what you are looking to be different. We will explore relevant background material and it is an opportunity for me to better understand you. The first session can be new so please feel free to ask questions to make yourself fully informed and feel comfortable.
-
This is a great question. A good fit can mean so many different things. Fit is a large umbrella term that encompasses many tangible and non-tangible characteristics. I believe it really comes down to how comfortable one is in the room with the therapist and how much they feel understood and how confident they are that the person will be able to help them. Fit also relates to how much you trust the clinician and how empathic and non-judgmental the space feels. The more comfortable you feel, the more likely you are to be motivated and engaged which are the foundations of productive work.
