Bisexual Therapists in Downtown, Brooklyn, NY

I specialize in working with creative highly sensitive people who deal with depression and anxiety. Together we will process your experiences, change unhelpful narratives, and develop harmony and balance within yourself. I work as witness in helping you develop a more nuanced inner dialogue to move from a place of confusion and disconnection towards self compassion and healing. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, Sex Positive, Spiritually affirming, and work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, multiculturally sensitive, & intersectional approach towards embodied healing and life empowerment.

If you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual , transgender, queer, non-binary or questioning, this is the practice for your needs. I am a psychologist who helps you work through thoughts and feelings that are not working for you and develop an action plan to create a life beyond your wildest dreams. I use my skills to help clients feel better so they can choose to make significant changes in their lives. My goals are to remove the obstacles to your accessing your internal power so that you can rewrite your stories, find your voice and live authentically.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, who has a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Psychology and Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling. I offer my clients psychotherapy with an integrative approach, utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize a therapeutic plan for every person, group, and couple I work with. I primarily focus on CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, Relational, Psychodynamic, mindfulness, and meditation, but offer other techniques listed below. ​ My own philosophy is based on a holistic approach, so I do not always focus on diagnoses or pathology. However, I do recognize that sometimes it is needed.

I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate, and encouraging environment to assist LGBTQ BIPOC individuals through whatever difficulties they may be confronting.

Do you want to acknowledge your struggles and explore solutions collaboratively? I am a gay, cisgender white man, and I will work collaboratively with you to develop effective coping strategies to turn down the volume and create space to explore your most pressing issues. I use an empathetic and relational approach to ensure you feel fully seen and heard without judgment. Through this relationship, I strive to reduce shame and boost your self-esteem by normalizing your experiences and maintaining hope and confidence in your progress until you can see and believe it for yourself.

It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable.

Self-exploration, healing, and growth are both important and deeply personal. My approach to therapy is rooted in the understanding that who you are matters. Whether you are struggling with change, depression or anxiety, or seeking therapy for other reasons, I am here to engage with you in warm, validating treatment and guidance. My aim is to help you feel empowered, manage struggles, reduce harm, build effective coping skills and relationships, and thrive. Together we will honor your unique life experience and efforts toward personal growth.

JUNE 2022: Currently accepting individuals for psychodynamically informed, attachment-oriented, weekly therapy or couples for weekly EFT-based couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). EFT-based couples therapy seeks to help couples identify the interactional patterns that keep couples disconnected. In understanding these patterns, we work to help partners learn and understand their habitual protective behaviors, their partner's protective behaviors, and to practice NEW ways of responding to one's self and one's partner.

Life presents many challenges and struggles, and, it may feel, too little time to voice complex emotions. Yet, an exploration of the nuances of one’s history, relationships, dreams, and desires can help alleviate suffering and increase flexibility in the present moment. Therapy, I believe, can provide this space to become, to play, feel, speak. My integrative, psychodynamic approach holds space for family of origin, intergenerational, intersectional and broader social-cultural dynamics.

Whatever your reason for seeking help, it is my commitment to meet you where you are with compassion. You have unique perspectives and experiences, shaped over time, and exploring these together can be an integral step in cultivating peace and growth.
