Racial Identity Therapists in 10018

Nice to meet you! I'm Stoop, a White, queer, anti-racist community-organizer who's committed to collective liberation and generational healing. I will support you finding your way through the places you get stuck, and tapping into your most authentic self. We will explore pain points, identify root causes, and build foundations of recovery on visions of humanity. First things first; we'll dig into areas of powerlessness and define integrity, so that you can begin to root into a source of power that is bigger than us all.

Do you criticize, doubt and judge yourself a lot? In your relationship, do you feel like walking on eggshells because you are afraid of saying anything to your partner that will spark yet another fight? Do you feel disconnected and your needs are not met? Imagine being at peace with yourself and feeling heard, connected, loved, appreciated, and respected with your loved ones. My mission as a relational therapist is to help you break maladaptive behavioral cycles and ways of relating to yourself. In interrupting these patterns, we open new avenues of communication—giving you healthier ways of connecting with the people you love most.

I am a licensed psychologist who has been practicing in New York City since 2011. I provide tailored interventions that improve overall functioning and help you gain insight into your life, your relationships, and how you view yourself and the world. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and interpersonal therapy to create a flexible approach that will help you reach your goals. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an integral component of change and I have extensive experience in treating a wide variety of symptoms including depression, anxiety, executive functioning.

I work with adults of all ages, including college students, graduate students, and young professionals. I have experience with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, race-based trauma, sexual trauma and assault, PTSD, chronic health difficulties, and questions regarding gender and sexual identity. I also specialize in identity and multicultural concerns.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness.

Are you struggling with your self-esteem or body image? Maybe you are feeling dissatisfied with your sex life or looking to dig deeper into your sexuality? Are you questioning your relationship with your partner and contemplating moving on? Are you troubled by the mental impact of weight management? Are you struggling with postpartum anxiety or depression? Maybe you are feeling like your body is no longer your own after having a baby. Do you identify with more than one culture and feel the societal pressure to act a certain way or change how you present yourself to the world? Are you tired of labels and letting others define you?

Think of how good it would feel to have a day that is set up for you where you spend your time doing things that nourish your interests and tap into your talents, a life where you genuinely feel so connected to others and the work that you’re doing that it doesn’t even feel like work but like flow instead. Where joy and fun are an accessible norm, and you feel grounded, centered and confident in yourself. This is a true possible reality for you, one that can be reached through actionable steps. If you’re wanting to move forward in life, trust that inner knowing. It's the first step in guiding you to the life you're meant to have.

You feel sad, depressed, anxious. You’re lonely and feel like no one understands you. You’ve noticed tension and tightness in your body. Making decisions and changes in your life are a struggle. The thought that you’re not good enough swirls around in your mind. You're frustrated and you’re not sure what to do. You feel stuck and you don’t want to feel like this anymore.

My practice is dedicated to serving those who have endured the profound impacts of trauma, particularly intimate partner violence or sexual assault, as well as those grieving a loss. They are individuals who, despite their challenges, are motivated to initiate therapy, and may be grappling with mood changes, or troubling symptoms, with or without a diagnosis. Together, we will explore and develop healthy coping skills, paving the way toward healing and rediscovery of hope. They are determined to work towards a brighter, more resilient future with therapy.
