The world can be overwhelming to navigate, especially if you are Queer, BIPOC or hold a marginalized identity.
Everyone processes their mental health differently, so it’s important to have a neuroinclusive therapy space that revolves around your processing styles, traumas, and identities. I often use creativity to tailor a therapy experience that best suits your individual needs.

As a queer, Jewish woman and yoga teacher, I bring an awareness of intergenerational trauma, identity and embodiment into the therapy room.
Do you find yourself taking on the emotions of the people in your life while receiving little emotional care in return? Your sensitivity is a gift that requires care, even though you've likely been told otherwise. I work primarily with highly sensitive people who feel overwhelmed and stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but struggle to shift. You may appear high functioning to others while feeling anxiety, self-criticism, or disconnection. Many of the clients I work with have histories of trauma, C-PTSD, and emotionally unsafe relationships. I offer a therapy space that feels thoughtful, compassionate and grounding.

Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
