Therapists in New York, NY

Life is made of infinite variables and circumstances. We are doing our best, in how we respond to them, but it is how we respond that is important so that we can focus on our well-being, goals, and intimate relationships. Let's talk about them and how you can be empowered to use your resilience to improve your quality of life. I'm certified in dialectical behavioral therapy and work with several approaches that can help deepen your understanding about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process. I view my clients and I as a team that is working together to help them achieve their therapeutic goals. Anxiety and Depression can thrive in the darkness, and I believe that they can be brought into the light through honest conversation. I work to meet clients where they are at and help them get where they want to be. Your priorities and goals matter.

Are you feeling a little lost and frustrated trying to find “the right therapist" for you? Have you ever wished to completely be yourself in front of someone without worrying about being judged? Do you want to feel seen, heard, and understood by someone? I am here to help. I am ready to listen to your deep stories that you couldn't share with anyone and to better understand you with compassion, curiosity, and an open mind. As an immigrant with diverse educational, religious, and family backgrounds growing up in multiple countries, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate various cultures, institutions, and systems.

I provide attuned and empathic psychotherapy to individuals and groups, offering a warm, curious, creative and even humorous space. I believe the dynamic between client and therapist is one of our most valuable assets in therapy. Each individual brings their own perception of their needs and worldview, so I place great focus on identity, culture, and environment for this space to not only process personal struggles but to also combat oppressive exteriors that compromise our wellbeing. With compassion, energy and curiosity, I show up to meet you where you are to support and hold space for you to feel safe and seen.

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.

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.

Teleios' mission is to provide holistic, culturally sensitive, and individualized counseling services that focuses on providing individual, couples, family and children psychotherapy to people from all backgrounds, age groups and walks of life, as well as providing parent coaching and anger management classes. Our therapists tailor their therapeutic approach to fit each client’s needs, knowing that a “one-size-fits-all” treatment plan does not work.

Hello and welcome! I work with adults and couples who would like support for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, life-transitions, personal growth, identity and issues within religion and spirituality. I use an integrative approach in my therapeutic style, where I will collaborate with you to create unique therapy that is best-suited to you specifically. We will define what progress looks like for you and continue to revisit those goals throughout our work together.

I am a psychodynamic therapist that believes in meeting people where they are and adjusting my approach to best support them. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ folks but accept all adult clients. My practice is trauma-informed and views individuals as the experts of their own lives and happiness. I am affirming of kink and polyamory/ENM. I have significant experience working with folks around gender and/or sexual identity, anxiety and social anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and ADHD.

My clients and I co-create a gentle and warm space for my clients to explore their identities and narratives. While doing so, issues and stresses related to family, work, relationships, education, intergenerational trauma, identities and transitions are likely to come up. Through introspection, connection, and skills learning, I am here to encourage my clients to grow into and sustain the most authentic versions of themselves. I am experienced in working with members of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

I work with individuals who are looking to process past traumas and gain confidence in their life decisions. I help my clients learn more about themselves, their experiences, and how every interaction can shape how an individual lives their life. We are all navigating this world, and I am here to show you how we can do it together.

With embodied presence, I take your side, within and against the world, on and from the earth. I talk with you in a way that I talk only with you, a way we make together, consciously and unconsciously. And I listen with you, facilitating a place you can be attuned to in new ways. As we co-create an intimate conversation, aliveness may grow in and among us.

Navigating this world as a marginalized individual is hard. As a neurodivergent, queer individual, I get it. I feel an intense desire to help those who feel marginalized or shut out by society begin to feel acknowledged and loved while they begin to understand how they can take up space in this world without being rejected. You are the expert on your own life, I am simply here to guide you along your journey. I am deeply passionate about how humans think, work, and view the world, and want to help you explore your curiosities and come to a better understanding of yourself.

Your experience is real, putting someone else’s feelings above that is unfair to you. The different journeys we have lived so far has shaped how we respond and react to our loved ones today. Some walks through life end up with us feeling like our needs are selfish. It can lead to decisions weighing on our minds because they are not always understood by society. They can steer us to go down paths where we start to rely on substances to get us through the day. Other times, it prevents us from looking pass the hurt from past relationships to enjoy our life fully.

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.

I primarily focused my studies on communities of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the effects of pervasive trauma. I also am very interested in neurodivergent and anxiety disorders.

Aviva works with individuals to foster and establish a trusting and safe environment in order to have an honest exploration of each person’s feelings and experiences. Aviva uses psychodynamic and relational approaches to explore the unique experiences of each person.

My aim as a mental health counselor is to create an empathetic and curiosity-driven environment for clients to pursue and explore growth, well-being, and authenticity. The foundations of my practice are rooted in being queer-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-informed. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that works towards clients’ goals by examining emotions, unconscious beliefs, the mind-body connection, and relational patterns.

What’s getting in the way of you being yourself? Let’s work together to bust past your blocks so you can share your full self with the world. I create an open-minded, sex positive, and compassionate space where clients are free to both find and be their true selves. Through my integrated, client-centered approach, we’ll work together to discover who you are, work through different pieces of your identity, and work through anything holding you back from being the fullest, most authentic version of yourself.
