Teletherapy for New York

Are you exploring your gender, sexuality, alternative sexual practices and/or relationship dynamics? Have you tried to heal from your past trauma and been unable to feel more embodied and liberated? Do you find yourself feeling hopeless that you will ever find a sense of belonging or connection with others because your way of engaging in the world or an identity you possess is labeled as “other”? Would you like to live life with greater authenticity, self-compassion, empathy, and self-confidence? Are you looking to dismantle internalized oppression or privilege to be a more accountable partner in creating a more just society?

At QuIPP, we are queer, non-binary , depth-oriented, feminist, and trauma-informed. Our therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic and we seek to explore the deep impacts of others (familial, peer, and social) on the minds and spirits of our clients. Our clinical areas of expertise include: gender & sexuality, trauma, transition related support, and poly/kinky & sex positivity. Given that trauma and emotional pain often originate within relationships, we take a relational (and deeply compassionate) approach to therapy.

The complexities of our own original trauma paired with current life’s challenges may lead many of us to feel hopeless, overwhelmed, stuck, alone, or lost. We can all benefit from taking time to develop, explore, and understand our emotions and experiences. I am a New York City based therapist— I’m glad you reached me and I’m here to help.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. I collaborate with families, couples, and individuals to unpack and work through challenges and struggles from a strengths-based perspective. I work with clients to understand the larger cultural systems around all of us and how they impact our relationships and identities. I work from an anti-oppression, anti-diet, and body liberation lens.

Kas Ross is a psychotherapist and art therapist focused on working with queer, transgender, and non-binary youth and adults at Full Spectrum Creative Arts Therapy, a queer & trans group practice that provides in-person and remote psychotherapy for clients throughout New York State. Kas cares deeply about issues surrounding identity formation and self-esteem, human rights and advocacy, intersectionality, and culturally sensitive, affirming care. They incorporate holistic and eastern approaches into their work, including art and music, Tai-Chi movement, breathwork, tarot, and meditation.

My ideal client is someone who is open to using the creative process to give visual shape to thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Collaboratively, we can identify goals and use visual art as well as talk therapy to promote insight, development of coping strategies, and behavior and stress management. As a non-binary therapist, shared experiences allow us to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship as we connect with someone who understands our unique needs in a way that enables growth through self-expression, self-awareness, and self-empowerment.

With a background in public service, I have previously served LGBTQIA+ community members, survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual violence, elders experiencing neglect and abuse, and incarcerated people. Areas of special interest include working with people coming to therapy to address anxiety, histories of trauma, navigating adult industries, managing non-monogamous relationships, & destigmatizing sexuality, BDSM, & kink.

Hi there! My name is Richard (they/them) and I am a Non-binary Filipinx Psychotherapist based in New York City. Growing up as a queer, low-income, first-generation college student with immigrant parents, I draw on my experiences to provide social justice-informed trauma therapy. My therapy space is warm, collaborative, client-centered, and strengths-based, and much of my expertise has been working with queer, transgender, and HIV-affected youth and adults around experiences of abuse and violence.

Hi! I'm Laura. I take a warm, client-focused, and engaged approach to therapy. As a queer and non-binary therapist, I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ Community and am currently working with individuals 18 and older. I will help you achieve your goals by providing a safe space to explore and connect with yourself and help you develop resilience and coping skills to manage anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelm, or life transitions.

Too often our world makes us think that we are the problem. We will create space together where I will assist you in making deeper connections between your feelings and the world around you. As a Latinx/e, bilingual, non-binary child of migrant families, I understand how family history and cultural obligations can affect or supports you.

I believe that therapy is a space to tell your unique story, where your lived experience will be received, honored, and validated without judgment. I support clients through a variety of challenges, such as exploring identity, navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, processing trauma, and coping with stress. As a queer, gender non-binary therapist, I am particularly passionate about providing sexuality- and gender-affirming therapy to queer and trans clients of all ages. I prioritize queer joy and gender euphoria in the therapeutic space, and strive to create a safe haven for clients to explore their identities.

Are you a queer, trans, non-binary , or gender expansive person exploring gender/sexuality while coping with homophobia and/or transphobia? If you are TGNC, do you find yourself experiencing gender dysphoria and also want to explore gender euphoria? In a cishet-centered world, it can be difficult to prioritize queer joy and safety. Regardless of where or how you fit into the LGBTQIA+ community, my hope is that we can start that prioritization process together while also holding space for the hard stuff. As a therapist, I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My aim is to listen and provide warmth, patience, and tools.

*Currently accepting new clients via telehealth*. It's been an endless search for a therapist who really gets you. Someone who can dive into your problems without making you feel you have to compartmentalize important parts of your life. Someone who can be a safe sounding board whatever comes up.  I want you to know it's ok to show up however you're feeling that day.  It's ok to open up at your own pace.  I will be right here beside you as you discover unique pathways towards resilience, fulfillment and fun.

I am a postdoctoral psychologist at IMPACT - Psychological Services, a group of doctoral-level psychologists who provide high-quality mental health care to children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families. My clinical work is holistic and trauma-informed, integrating necessary biological, cultural, systemic, and environmental factors influencing emotional distress. My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and nurturing. I specialize in issues related to trauma, grief, depression, and interpersonal/family conflict.

I believe everyone has a story that needs to be told. Therapy can be a space where we challenge how we relate to the stories we tell our selves, others, and those others may uphold. Therapy can also be a space where we reckon with the universal systems of oppression that have impacted our stories, our ability to tell them, and our ability to be heard. I provide support to individuals, partners, and families who are motivated towards greater understandings of their stories in order to the heal connections in their relationships with themselves and others.

I work with clients who are interested in more fulfilling relationships with themselves and the people in their lives, especially as this intersects with their journeys as BIPOC, queer folks, trans (binary, non-binary and gender expansive) folks, allies/accomplices, neurodiverse folks, and people with feminist/social justice values. I help people dream and envision the lives they want, in their bodies, in their sexuality, in their relationships/friendships/families, in their work, in their sphere of influence, and move towards them. I help people heal from patterns that we formed out of survival or socialization & want to grow from.

As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting, and affirming therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I work with individuals using a psychodynamic approach. My role as such is to help you identify your needs and put your inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to your well-being can be lifted. In my practice, I look to be responsive, collaborative, and affirmative when working with folks' intersecting identities and how those identities show up within the therapeutic relationship.
