Interactive Discovery Consulting and Psychological Services

Our group specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults with a holistic approach to mental health treatment.

We provide individual therapy, parental support sessions, couples counseling, group therapy, and neuropsychological evaluations! Interactive Discovery's private group practice is the embodiment of Dr. Brodsky's passion for collaborative work. The ID family comprises therapists and practitioners who share a common commitment to aiding individuals in a nurturing and supportive atmosphere. At our cor

e, we firmly believe that the most effective interventions are born from the collaboration of clinicians, all working together towards the common goal of providing the highest quality patient care. As a result, Interactive Discovery attracts clinicians who are equally dedicated to fostering collaboration, community service, and delivering high quality care. Our dedication to teamwork has always been a cornerstone of our group's philosophy. Guided by this shared mission, ID has successfully brought together a diverse group of clinicians from various backgrounds, all of whom embrace an eclectic approach to mental health. Although we come from different training backgrounds and possess distinct specialties, our unwavering support for each other's work remains consistent. This collaborative approach has enabled us to not only learn from one another but also to evolve both professionally and personally.

💡 Nurturing "Power With" in Relationships: Balancing Collaboration, Respect, and Intimacy 💕

Power dynamics exist in every relationship, but how we engage with power can make all the difference. Instead of striving for "power over"—which creates disconnection and resentment—we can cultivate "power with," a dynamic rooted in collaboration, mutual respect, and shared goals.
