Therapists in New York

One of the few certainties of life is change, which can come with excitement but also uncertainty and hardship. Whether you are experiencing the stressors of adolescence or young adulthood, confronting relationship issues, or wanting to examine your inner world, therapy can be a useful tool in navigating life transitions. I’m particularly interested in exploring issues surrounding anxiety, depression, relationships, self-worth, grief, gender identity, and sexuality. Together we can discover your wants and needs and take action towards reaching your goals.

Are you looking for a safe space to express yourself freely, while exploring who you are and why? I am a queer, white cisgender woman and parent living in Brooklyn, and my goal is to create a space where you’re encouraged to reflect on the history of patterns that may no longer work for you. I see therapy as a conversation and collaborative process, and want you to feel heard and supported while reflecting on your experiences. When we anchor into our thoughts and feelings, we gain the ability to sit with our discomfort, learning a great deal about what needs healing.

Do you want to strengthen your connections to yourself and others? My experiences with therapy have informed a belief that curiosity, self-examination, and strong relationships can be vehicles for positive change in ourselves, our families, and our communities. I enjoy helping clients identify the stories they tell about themselves and their world, as we work together to create adaptive, liberating new ones. You can expect that our work will “move at the speed of trust.” That is, when we start working together we will prioritize building an alliance where you are empowered to speak freely and are met with attunement and warmth.

My passion and specialization lie in working with members of the LGBTQIA/Queer Community, Alternative Relationship Dynamics (Consensual Non-monogamy, Kink/BDSM, and adult content creators), Individuals and Couples interested in Sex Therapy, and anyone struggling with their identity and self-esteem. I am a HAES aligned practitioner and EMDR trained. This life is hard, uncomfortable, and messy. How we experience, adapt, cope, and respond to our life experiences is tethered to our ability to enjoy this life and live a fulfilled one. You are entitled to a life worth living, so let's learn how to live a life that reflects you.

I enjoy working with individuals throughout the lifespan, from ages 5 to 105. My experience as a school psychologist has given me an understanding of the challenges of both being and parenting a child with special needs, as well as navigating life as an adult with a disability or chronic health condition. I also have experience in working with clients suffering from depression, grief/loss, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, and phobias. I have a special interest in working with clients who are neurodivergent and those who identify as LGBTQIA.

Welcome! Healing is a process that is unique to each of us. I bring an eclectic approach to therapy in order to help you find the healing path that best fits you and your needs. As a therapist, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is critical to assisting you in being able to create the life you most want. You will find a non-judgmental safe space in which you are welcome as the person you are and the person you hope to be.

Do you want to explore your relationships (from childhood to adulthood) and understand how they influence your life now? I am a queer, trans, white, and neurodivergent person living in Manhattan. As a queer trans person, I never felt completely understood by my therapists growing up, and, as a result, I want to provide a reliable, secure, and affirmative support system for others. I believe that therapy needs to be flexible and collaborative. Mental wellness looks different for everyone, and what works for one client may not work for another; the client and therapist work best as a team.

Call or text (716) 380-2129 for questions and intake information! "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change"- Carl Rogers. Hello! I'm Caitlyn, I have been working as a mental health counselor since 2011 with individuals ages 7 and older.

You are courageous for starting your healing journey! As a queer Latinx woman, I want to provide a supportive environment for those that don’t often feel understood or seen in their personal lives. I strive to empower and support individuals to be the best version of themselves. Through developing a genuine connection in our virtual sessions, we will work towards finding your purpose and self-worth.

Life is often unpredictable and painful. It can be easy to find ourselves feeling stuck in a spiral of shame and uncertainty. As humans, we often have an “inner knowing” that we have grown far away from. It’s difficult to commit to the journey of healing. However, choosing this journey is often “the right kind of hard,” while remaining stuck, frozen, and numb, is “the wrong kind of hard.” Sitting with big emotions can often times feel uncomfortable and scary. Everyone deserves a safe space to process difficult emotions and life's challenges.

There are many reasons why people seek therapy. You may be experiencing difficult emotions that you're struggling to process, you may be having issues in an important relationship in your life, you may have specific behaviors that you want to change, or you may simply want to strengthen your connection with yourself and understand your internal experience on a deeper level. Whatever your reason may be, a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in achieving your goals.

All appointments are currently offered online only via Skype or Zoom. I use an integrative approach to treatment including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, existential, and multicultural approaches to help adults and older adults with a variety of issues including anxiety and depression. I also have clinical knowledge of abnormal psychology, mood disturbances, and self harming behavior. I take a strength based approach to the work, and I work with patients for short-term therapy and for longer-term therapy. I focus on unconscious factors to help patients increase self-awareness and insight.

Are you struggling with feeling connected to yourself and others? Do you find yourself feeling chronically unsatisfied with your day to day life? In a world that demands so much juggling of chores and responsibilities, you've found that your feelings of joy seemed to have gotten lost. Good news, art psychotherapy (aka art therapy) can help! You do not need to have any creative skills to benefit from art psychotherapy. Art therapy is a unique approach for unearthing parts of us that have been lost, promoting playfulness, bringing clarity, and rediscovering strengths.

As a queer and nonbinary individual, I am passionate about working with and advocating for the queer and neurodiverse communities. I strive to provide my clients a safe, sensory-friendly, and creative space to work through life’s challenges with a provider with whom they know has shared experiences and extensive experience in providing affirming care. I also have advanced training in systemic oppression and multicultural therapy, and provide gender-affirming services like letters of recommendation for HRT and gender affirming surgeries.

Do you struggle to find your path to happiness? Do you feel that your negative thoughts prevent you from reaching happiness? It is often difficult to find the positive in life when the negativity in our lives starts to take priority. I am here to help you reframe negative thoughts and find your way back to happiness. Sometimes it is own negativity and thought patterns that get in the way of a happy life.

Hello! We have yet to meet, but I’m already proud of you for seeking help. It’s incredibly hard and frustrating, especially if you’ve done it before, but the fact that you’ve started searching is a big deal. Were you told to "get over it?" Or, had your concerns and struggles dismissed? In my practice, we don't get over our difficulties - we work through them, and that takes time. I want to be there to help you through that journey. To feel supported and cared for. To heal in a safe, judgment-free space. And to gain a sense of control over your life.

I am a multicultural, holistic, trauma-informed, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in resiliency of human spirit. Though you may consider me as the professional/expert, you are the expert of your lived experiences. I strongly believe that the client has a right to both be a recipient as well as an influencer within the therapeutic relationship. My job as a therapist is to act as guide while you are empowered to tackle both inner and outer barriers. I aim to hold a space for those who may not have access to any other arenas to feel heard and understood.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards your personal goals! Whether you're new to therapy or experienced, I welcome you wherever you are in your journey. I've worked across diverse settings, spanning ages 3 to 105, and I meet you without judgment. In therapy with me, you can expect: a warm and inviting space for your emotions; a space to share your history, culture, and current context and have to be heard and understood; identifying your strengths and areas for change; exploring past experiences, including trauma, and their impact; creating new life approaches based on insights; and positive energy, smiles, and laughter!
