Transgender Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
I work collaboratively with clients to establish treatment goals, contextualize symptoms in relation to your social environment, identify and strengthen current resilience strategies and create opportunities for feedback throughout the process. A typical question I may ask is, “What have you tried so far and how is it working?”, or “Who in your community do you rely on for support and how might they describe the issue(s) you’re facing?”.

My work focuses on the mental health and wellbeing of queer, trans and NB folks of all ages. While I work with people across the life span, I generally do not see people under 16. I also work with people navigating the spectrum of pregnancy, adoption and traversing LGBTQIA+ parenthood. I have been practicing social work for over 15 years and am licensed in NY and Florida. I am anti racist, trans affirmative, sex positive, sw positive, body positive + kink allied. I use a psychodynamic approach in my work with clients incorporating elements of intersectionality, mindfulness and harm reduction.

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.

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? Are you interested in exploring who you are and what is happening inside you? Do you want to engage with more coping skills? Then I might be the therapist for you. I work best with clients or couples who are under the queer, trans, and BIPOC umbrellas. I also specialize in working with sex workers, avoidance/ dissociation patterns, identity/gender/sexuality exploration, sex/intimacy, communication, confidence/ self-esteem, boundaries, non-monogamy, and shame/guilt.

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.

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.

Therapy is like any other relationship - it's important to find someone whose values and approach resonate with you. In my practice, therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client. I see my role as that of a non-judgemental companion, someone who holds space and reflects you back to you. I am here to bear witness to your journey without judgment. My hope is to support you in exploring how the stories we are told, and tell ourselves, inform our worldview - our sense of self, relationships, and even our mood.

Asking for help can feel intimidating, but acknowledging we need help is an act of courage. My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. Healing, when witnessed by others can be powerful and transformative. I see the goal of therapy as a process of being curious about the fullness of being human in a world that is increasingly polarizing, fast, complex and uncertain. I do this by being fully present with you and listening for what is really happening in your life. From the beginning, we will look at patterns that you might want to change to help you feel a sense of belonging and ease in the world.

Welcome! If you are queer, trans, nonbinary, questioning, neurodivergent, kinky, poly, or otherwise inclined to defy mainstream narratives of mental health and well-being, then I may be the right fit for you. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the New York metro area, I offer an oasis of compassion, creativity, and self-reflection. I have almost a decade of experience working as a body-neutral and LGBTQ-affirming sex educator, as well as working with queer and trans youth of color. I am especially proud to assist others in dismantling internalized forms of oppression and critically reframing their experiences with radical self-love.

In my work, I love helping my clients nurture deep and compassionate connections with themselves, even the parts of themselves that may feel shameful or that they may have struggled to find kindness towards in the past. In therapy, we can partner to address many things, including exploring gender or sexuality, improving your relationship with substances, finding relief from anxiety, depression, or ADHD symptoms, addressing patterns in intimate relationships, healing past trauma, and much more.

I am passionate about working with LGBTQ2IA+ people of all ages.

I will support your child in developing their own voice and sense of personal agency while making sure they learn the skills necessary to move through the world safely and effectively. My work with children and adolescents is evidence-based, relational, engaging, and non-ABA.

I'm a trans, queer, Mexican-American therapist who works from an attuned, responsive, and relationship oriented approach. As all of us have a tendency to get lost in a narrative or storyline, I invite clients to slow down with me and get intimate with their direct experience—the raging emotions in the body, the coming and going of thoughts, the feeling of shaky vulnerability, the rage, the loneliness—honoring it all and creating a safe holding space for these lost emotions, perhaps for the first time ever. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer end-of-life support, and coaching.

I approach therapy as an active and collaborative process that supports you to connect with your desires. Together, we untangle social and emotional knots. We ask honest questions and embrace new possibilities for being, doing and becoming. Over time, we attend to the roots of struggles to bring about meaningful connections and change.

As someone who identifies within both the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, I intimately understand the challenges we face when trying to find sufficient mental health support.

My therapy practice also borrows from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each client/couple/polycule. Together, we will work to find your strengths, co-create effective coping strategies, and foster holistic & compassionate well-being.

I provide you with a place to speak freely, so that through this unique experience you can become yourself in a new way. I work with individuals, couples and children, with a focus on survivors, trans and queer people, neurodivergent people, and people in recovery. We may strategize together to address crises or life transitions, and we may speak on an existential plane with close attention to the unconscious. In any case, we will raise questions together, we will challenge normativity, and we will prioritize new connection. In our work together nothing is assumed, and in our speaking together new and old things become possible.
