Audrey Burt, LMSW

Before becoming a therapist, Audrey spent years working in art and design: a world preoccupied with how things are made, what they mean, and why they move us. She carries that sensibility into the therapy room. For Audrey, psychotherapy is a natural extension of the creative ways human beings make meaning and find their way through the world.

Audrey works psychodynamically, with deep interest in the unconscious — the tangle of experiences, longings, and defenses that quietly shape how we move through the world. She is drawn to the kind of work that takes what's on the surface seriously as an entry point into something deeper, sitting with what is difficult and giving shape to suffering that has yet to find its words. Her approach is guided by intense curiosity and warmth, and by the conviction that each person's inner world is singular and deserves to be met as such.

Audrey works with individuals and couples navigating depression, anxiety, grief, identity, relationship struggles, and the quieter forms of suffering that resist easy categorization — those searching for greater meaning, or longing to loosen the grip of stories that no longer serve them. She has a special interest in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Audrey's clinical experience includes individual psychotherapy and research with medically vulnerable older adults. She completed her primary clinical training at Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy, where she worked psychodynamically with individuals across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and identities. Audrey holds an MSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work and a BA from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where she studied philosophy, design, and visual art. She sees patients in person in Chelsea and Williamsburg, and remotely across New York State.
