Therapists in New York

Are seeking a supportive collaborator in enhancing your emotional well-being and a non-judgmental space to be your most authentic self? After being an active participant in therapy throughout my life, I developed a deep appreciation for the therapeutic relationship. However, as a nonbinary individual, I had a hard time feeling seen by many therapists, in addition to greatly lacking queer role models in my life. I seek to provide that support, connection, and understanding to LGBTQ+ adolescents and adults that would have been incredibly beneficial to me in my youth.

Are you struggling with self-love and self-acceptance? Do you find yourself fighting with anxiety, addictions, and negative or scattered thoughts? Perhaps you are dealing with issues pertaining to your identity or even going through an existential crisis. I know how hard these times can be because I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you.

Connections with others are a vital lifeline in times of stress. I work with adults who may be struggling with a variety of issues, life transitions, or would like support on their mental health journeys. I want to be a positive support system while challenging you to become your most empowered self. We will work together to foster a balanced life. As a Mental Health Counselor-LP, working under the supervision of Silvia B. Arias, I look forward to counseling those who want to learn emotional regulation and maintain healthy relationships, explore gender identity, or may be living with trauma.

I am a non-binary therapist who aims to create a comfortable and safe space for the client to speak whatever is on their mind. I have experience working with those in the LGBTQIA+ community as well as first-generation college students. I work with clients suffering from depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and life transitions.

Living in fear, & avoidance is much the same as not living at all. Although pain is a universal inevitability across all life forms, suffering is a uniquely human quality. But, does suffering have to be terminal? Is it always destined? I am confident in my ability to help folks navigate the entanglement & beauty of sexuality, gender, spirituality, race, culture, & identity. I specialize in depression, complex trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, acculturation & race-based stress, sexual abuse, & interpersonal conflicts. My goal is to help you feel liberated in your body, unashamedly free, & excited for the future. So how do we do this together?

Looking for a therapist can be daunting. It can be difficult to reach out for support and it can be even more challenging to put our trust into someone who we don't know yet. I will provide you with a safe, warm, and supportive space so that you can feel comfortable to take the first steps in therapy. I will assist you in developing a plan for treatment that is tailored to your individual needs and I will make the commitment to accompany you throughout your journey.

I am a seasoned psychodynamically trained psychotherapist. I work with individuals and couples on a short or long term basis dealing with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, imposter syndrome or chronic illness. I have had many years of experience working with individuals coping with cognitive issues such as dementia and with adult issues of trauma, feelings of worthlessness, aging, HIV/AIDS and chronic illness. I have a strong specialty working within the LGBTQ community and with issues surrounding terminal illness, dying, grief and bereavement.

Welcome, I'm Morgan (they/she)! Since 2019, I've been working in community mental health and now have decided to take my experiences into a private setting. I enjoy serving those in the queer community, non-monogamous relationship structures, and BDSM/kink dynamics. I also enjoy working with young people (ages 12+) by giving them a safe space in which to explore their identity. My additional passion is supervising/guiding new therapists in the field to develop as professionals.

Do you want to be supported as you undertake the vital and very human project of exploring and growing? I'm a white, queer, gender-expansive native West Coaster who’s called NYC home for more than 20 years. A background in writing and theater has given me a deep interest in the human experience and the ways we endeavor to become our best selves. I was drawn to therapy in order to support people in discovering and using their strengths to reach that goal. I also provide an affirming space for LGBTQ+ folks to gain renewed self-compassion and authenticity by better understanding how negative messaging might impact your sense of self.

You deserve to be in community with people who support and uplift you. Far too often, people are judged by many mental health professionals. As a black queer non-binary therapist, my ultimate goal is to support you. I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and allies. I can be particularly helpful in helping you develop more self-acceptance, more insight, and teach you different tools to support your mental health and wellbeing. Let’s collaborate together and find what works best for you.

Under the supervision of Dr. Romano, as a limited permit in my work, I utilize a mix of evidence-based frameworks including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, and a humanistic approach. I believe in connecting with clients on a human level through conversational sessions, while also maintaining professionalism and appropriate boundaries. With a deep understanding of the unique experiences and societal pressures faced by the LGBTQ+ community, I provide compassionate support and evidence-based interventions to promote growth, resilience, and well-being.

As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I am passionate about creating a warm and safe environment without judgment for clients to express themselves and share their stories. I offer empathy and empowerment to cultivate positive change and promote overall emotional and mental wellness. Whether you are a child, a teenager, or an adult struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, and/or family dynamics, we will work together toward establishing your goals and equipping you with coping skills for your daily life. No matter what you are coming to therapy for, know that you are not alone.

As they say, the only thing permanent in this world is change. Change, like people, comes in different shapes and sizes. It could be as simple as changing clothes, to more complex ones like a break up, death, or coming out. My goal is to help you manage and deal with changes in your life. By providing you with a safe and comfortable environment and my use of various therapeutic techniques, my hope is that you will feel supported, heard, understood, and obtain the necessary coping skills to help you through this journey called life.

I believe in community care, liberation, growth, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and focus around issues of relationships, trauma, transitions, and alternative lifestyles (such as kink/BDSM, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, etc.).

Beyond being a therapist, I am a husband, dog-dad and former band and choir geek. As a therapist, I believe that our lives and experiences are shaped and formed by the people, experiences and places in our lives. Degrees, schooling and theoretical orientation are important, but they don't replace authentic human connection. I have chosen to focus my work within the LGBTQ+ community because of my own past struggles trying to find gay therapist with whom I felt comfortable and understood by.

Do you want to find a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore new aspects of yourself? I am a gay, cisgender white man living in Astoria, Queens. After my own positive experience in therapy at the age of 14, I had wanted to pursue a career in the field of counseling for much of my life. I know firsthand that experiences in therapy can add so much value to a person’s life, through positive change and growth, as well as developing a better understanding of oneself.

I focus on the queer, trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming populations in my work but welcome individuals of all sexualities and gender expressions. I use trauma informed modalities as a lens to focus on what’s going on in your life in the moment as well as how your past has shaped you.

When facing life's difficult challenges, it is good to know that there are places that you can turn to for help and guidance. However, finding a gay therapist can be anxiety producing because when people decide they would benefit from seeing a therapist, they are often experiencing significant upset in their lives. This is usually not the ideal moment to be dealing with the stress involved in finding someone with whom it feels safe and right to be vulnerable.

Feeling down, anxious, trouble coping with life stressors, life transitions, family or career problems? Coping with relationship issues, grief, loss, medical hardships? Sandwiched in between parental responsibilities and taking care of aging parents? Do you need help navigating and coping with these issues? Therapy can be a real opportunity to better understand yourself, behaviors, choices, opportunities and ultimately improve your overall quality of life. By examining your feelings, thoughts, and repeating patterns you can gain insight, unlock potential and can ultimately be mobilized to change.
