Male Therapists in New York, NY

My name is Luis Quiros. Thank you for being open to this process with me. I have spent my entire professional career working on behalf of my community. I understand people can be afraid to face difficult things, and be afraid of their own feelings. I am here to help walk you through that, and come out healed and on the other side.

Gay men and lesbian women face many challenges that are specific to them. It is important to find a therapist that understands your unique experience as a queer person in a culture that promotes heterosexuality as the norm. Whether it's past traumas or internalizing the stigma that we have been exposed to, we all have life events that impact the way we see the world today. For queer people, our worldview may be impacted by our time in the closet, messages we receive from media, and the different communities we belong to.

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients --- men , women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

Relationships can bring us the greatest joys in life- but sometimes they cause us the deepest pain. You may feel "I'm not enough" which leads to giving-up, giving-in, or giving too of yourself to gain acceptance. You may be your own worst enemy with your strong, active self-critical voice-keeping you stuck in those patterns of demanding too much of yourself. If you experience relational, career, or internal disconnect, long for something more and a way out. You may find yourself stuck in a spiral of thoughts and emotions. We'll get to the root causes so you can show up with your best parts. I can help.
