To assist with that, I also offer discounts to people who are either especially vulnerable (refugees, torture survivors, transgender people, etc) or do work to benefit the public good (teachers, EMT’s, community organizers, firefighters, nurses, BLM protesters, etc).
Welcome. At various times in our lives we all end up feeling sad, angry, anxious, or lost. Sometimes we end up in unhealthy patterns: doubting our self-worth, obsessing about the past or the future, lashing out at others, or isolating ourselves. So many of our unhelpful behaviors protect us in the short-term, but leave long-term costs. I'm a clinical social worker and I provide help with these and other issues. The core of my training has been to meet you where you are--mentally and emotionally--and help you find effective techniques to overcome adversity, feel better, and move on with your life.

I also have extensive experience working with transgender and gender non-conforming clients, as well as providing a safe, understanding space for fellow therapists seeking support.
My approach is experiential, designed to foster a safe environment where clients can explore and process emotions and experiences that may have felt too overwhelming in the past. In our initial sessions, we’ll focus on building a trusting connection, understanding and naming the struggles you face, and beginning to heal the burdens you’ve carried.

Additionally, I can help you cope with mental health concerns such as depression and/or anxiety, life transitions, gender dysphoria, parenting issues, women’s issues, relationship issues, or substance use.
Are you coping with a trauma? Are there days when you just can't stop thinking about what happened? Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed by it? Or are you coping with life transitions like starting college, going through a separation/divorce, or becoming a parent? When you're ready to talk, I am ready to listen, support, and empower you on your journey towards healing and overcoming your emotional hardships. Using Cognitive Behavioral techniques and and trauma-focused interventions, I’ll help you discover coping skills that work for you.

I have extensive experience working with lesbian, queer-identified, transgender and gender expansive folks, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and those exploring their relationship to sexuality, kink, and gender.
With each of my clients, I cultivate a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for identity exploration, so that you can more fully embody your truth in your day-to-day life. While a sense of progress is integral to the therapeutic journey, we will create a personalized understanding of what growth looks like for you, rather than settling for more prescriptive goals. As a relational therapist, I help people foster deeper understanding and self-awareness, overcome unhelpful and defeating patterns, and build self-esteem.

With over 25 years experience as a Neuroscientist / Psychologist & director of mental health programs in New York City and Montreal, I specialize in working with people who seek a culturally affirming therapist, and those from diverse ethnic, religious, & racial backgrounds, LGBTQIA+, Transgender and Gender Confirming, Polyamorous & Kink communities, & more.
My approach to therapy is evidence-based, interactive, relational, & motivational. My belief is that the relationship between the therapist & client is what is most healing & helpful in therapy. I strive to create a comfortable & supportive atmosphere where difficult issues can be addressed. When people feel supported & understood, they are often more able to face challenges. I help clients become more aware of the obstacles which prevent them from leading more satisfying lives & improving their relationships. Sometimes that may involve exploring past experiences and/or it may involve learning new concrete coping skills.

My therapeutic style is flexible and responsive to the unique needs of each client, providing space to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences honestly at their own pace. Clients are the experts on their own life, and my role is to walk alongside, helping to uncover insights and develop tools for meaningful and lasting change.

When you choose to begin therapy, a match is pertinent to growth and change. I am direct, warm and will help you confront some of the more challenging aspects of yourself. My goal is always to facilitate living the best life you can. Keeping that in mind, therapy can be demanding at times, and requires a lot of patience with yourself and with the work; We will learn together how to communicate about what is happening in therapy beyond the conscious words that are used.

Are you struggling to feel understood in therapy? Are you having trouble within your relationships and feeling like you have no idea what to do?

I work best with clients or couples who are under the queer, trans, and BIPOC umbrellas.

I practice therapy because I believe in the human capacity for liberation and healing, and our ability to empower each other and collectively improve our lives. I don't know what living a life that you love and value would look like for you, but I'm excited to find out together. I primarily work with people with serious trauma histories. I’m especially experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ folks, and with the kink and poly/ENM communities. I know how important it is to not only be affirmed in your identities, but understood as someone connected to the larger world.

Rooted in a DIY, harm reduction, community care ethos, I believe everyone is the expert on their own experiences. Whatever you're going through, you don't have to do it alone. My identities—trans, abolitionist, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, anti-zionist, and queer—deeply inform my approach to healing and therapy. I operate from an anti-racist, anti-carceral, anti-capitalist, disability justice informed framework. I am kink and body positive, support sex workers, practice non-monogamy, and oppose all forms of prisons, policing, and borders. I think struggling in an unwell society is a sign of humanity, not illness.

In today's world -- and particularly for those of us who hold marginalized identities -- having compassion for our hearts, minds, and bodies is increasingly difficult. Many of us struggle with feeling "not __ enough," and learn to mold or hide parts of ourselves to make it through the day. I believe that everyone deserves to show up to life (and therapy) in their entirety, without need for explanation or justification.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist based in Brooklyn, New York.

Hi there, I’m Julie. Thank you for being here. I’m currently accepting new clients in NY. I am a psychotherapist specializing in queer and trans affirming care. Especially these days, it is so deeply important that everyone have support and care, and I am committed to building that environment with you. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, mental wellness is deeply personal. What works for one person may not work for another; the best work is done when a client and therapist work as a team.

Is the past haunting your present? Is there another way of being that feels just out of reach? Clients come to me with questions and confusion. Whether they are new to therapy or have done it for decades, they're looking for something more holistic, spiritual, and challenging. My goal is to help you move through pain and suffering as a part of life, not as an obstacle to it. With an attitude of curiosity and compassion, we'll give the parts of you stuck in the past the wisdom they need to step into the future.

I am a trauma therapist who works with queer and trans communities; poly / ENM, kink / BDSM; neurodiverse and disabled communities; sex workers, and substance users. My approach is informed by my shared identities and experiences. I work with survivors of Intimate Partner Violence; childhood and adult sexual violence; attachment and complex trauma; hate violence; and police, state, and institutional violence. I offer an approach that is trauma-informed and holistic, and grounded in bodily autonomy, liberation, and anti-racism. I am particularly dedicated to those who have been excluded from mainstream therapeutic spaces.

Healing can mean many things to many people, whether that’s community, growth, inner peace, recovery, or support. I see healing as an act of liberation. For queer and trans people, it is liberating to show up for our most authentic and embodied selves, and to have our pain, joy, passions, identities, relationships, and journeys nonjudgmentally witnessed. I see therapy as a space to sustainably build a relationship with all parts of yourself, and to feel that you are enough, worthy, and whole in the process. I offer an empathetic, collaborative, and compassionate partnership, where you decide the course of your healing journey.

Therapy can feel like an elusive concept, one that supposedly provides a solution for emotional struggles if you do it the “right way.” I believe in an individualized approach to therapy, because there is no “right way”; there is only the way that makes the most sense for you. In this regard, I may use different modalities, but more importantly I will use what I learn about you to help us collaborate effectively on your mental health. I have experience working with a diverse range of people, including the LGBTQ+ community, current and former sex workers, and both adolescents and adults. I also provide couples’ counseling.

I hope our sessions can be a place for you to catch your breath and to zoom out as well as in.

Meaningful flags I fly at my practice: queer, trans, fat acceptance, blacklivesmatter, meaningful allyship, neurodivergence, sex work is work, parenthood, queer family building, former theatre person.

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.
