Transgender Therapists in Beacon, NY
Have you found yourself unpacking life with AI, scrolling therapy content, or keeping a notes app full of midnight revelations? I get it. Self-awareness is great, but healing isn't meant to be a solo project. You may be exploring who you are, how culture and identity have shaped you, or what it means to live authentically on your own terms. Maybe you're longing for a space where you can exhale, feel deeply understood, and reconnect with yourself. You don't have to navigate it all alone.

Hello! I provide both short term and long term therapy to individuals who are working to manage anxiety, adjustment to life transitions and interpersonal relationships of all kinds. I provide a safe space for those who identify as neurodivergent, as well as LGBTQ+ individuals. I also work with a lot of college students! As a queer, trans-nonbinary clinician, I understand the importance of providing a safe space for visibility, self-exploration, and inclusion. Breaking away from dominant culture expectations and learning how to 'unmask safely' are two areas of importance that I focus on throughout the therapy experience.

I have five years of training in therapy with LGBTQ clients, folks living with HIV, and gender affirming care through my work at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Callen-Lorde Community Health Center.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for queer, POC, cross-cultural, and non-monogamous couples and partners to support intimacy through self-awareness and intentionality. You may be entering a new stage together, rebuilding after a rupture in trust, exploring non-monogamy, or seeking to deepen a strong connection.
Our closest connections can reveal subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways we tend to sabotage our relationships. These behaviors are often unconscious and can quietly serve to "protect" us from intimacy. As counterintuitive as this may sound, closeness is very vulnerable, and we do not always feel comfortable with this.

We all need support sometimes, and that’s why you’ve found yourself here.
My specialty is helping clients navigate the complex emotional experiences that are part of becoming and being a parent. This focus is rooted in a deep understanding of how difficult each step of the journey can be, from fertility to birth to raising a child. While struggles related to pregnancy and parenting are common, there are often few spaces for open, honest, and compassionate conversations about these experiences. In my practice, I’m committed to creating a supportive environment where those important conversations can happen.

Possible reasons why you want to start therapy: You want to learn more about yourself. You are feeling alone, misunderstood, stuck and you may or may not have people around you who support you but you still feel this way. You want to make a change or you're in the middle of a change (wanted or unwanted) and you need support. You are looking for an objective, skilled and compassionate opinion. You are in need of someone to point out your blind spots, with discretion. You feel unable to achieve your dreams or life goals no matter how hard you try. If any of these reasons resonate with you, I can help.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
