Feeling frustrated, stuck, or unfulfilled in an area of your life? You're not alone. Knowing how to begin healing can be challenging amid a global pandemic and the current sociopolitical climate. Life is complicated, and it can be difficult to reach out for the support and encouragement needed to succeed. But if you're reading this, you're off to a good start. As a Black male therapist in NYC, I specialize in supporting individuals & couples who at times feel powerless and marginalized (i.e., women, immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ+ folx) and endure anxiety, depression, trauma, identity issues, discrimination, and dissatisfaction.
As a Black male integrative therapist, I honor your uniqueness by specifically tailoring my approach to who you are, as well as your needs and goals. Together, we will work through difficult and unresolved issues to gain new awareness, perspectives, and skills, which will ultimately lead you to become a better version of yourself and reach your potential.
If this resonates, please visit my website at www.allypsychotherapy(dot)com to learn more about me, my services, and the work we could do together. You can schedule a free 20-minute consultation on my "Contact Me" page (via the calendar app at the bottom) to see if I am a good fit for you and your needs. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself.

I have never been a fan of boxes, so I will not be working to put you into one. As an integrative therapist, I work to honor all of the unique parts of you and your identities which means that I use various treatment modalities, depending on who you are and how you present. Clients can share what modality resonates with them, and I will adjust accordingly while not only relying on that modality.
