Non-Binary Therapists in New York, NY
The ways we struggle and suffer often started as adaptive behaviors and thought patterns that helped us survive painful situations in the past. As such, they can also speak to a desire for a different way of living. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I work collaboratively with you, listening and asking questions and attuning to your words and your unique presence to help us reach towards this unconscious material. Together, over time, we can create new channels for old feelings, new vantages onto old desires, that can foster a greater sense of agency, connection, safety and aliveness.

You are more than this moment, this feeling, this setback, and these thoughts that you just can't get out of your head. Depression and anxiety and oppression and trauma are all real and are all powerful forces that can do so much harm and make you doubt the value you add to the world and the love and respect you deserve. Those voices are not your voice, and I want to help you defeat them.

Accepting new clients as of 5/02/2025. My clients are typically facing big questions and change in their lives.

I work primarily in individual therapy with LGBTQ individuals, neurodivergent folks, folks in the kink and non-monogamous/polyamorous communities, disabled folks, and sex workers. I offer relationship therapy as well (Non-monogamy and polyamory). I believe therapy is inherently political and am happy to share my personal identities with clients during a consultation call. I believe that therapists can hold safe boundaries for clients, while also encouraging transparency and authenticity of self.

Loss is a frequent visitor. You might live your life just fine, but always suffering somewhere inside, feeling lonely and isolated, detached and numb a lot of the time. When traumatic distress overshadows all other aspects of life, you may get along with fixation or stuckness. The memories keep hunting, showing up every time and everywhere. How can we find relief from the overwhelming regrets, unstoppable ruminations, and unremitting yearning or loneliness? Mourning is the price we pay for having the courage to love. I believe this is a period of both crisis and opportunity.

My theoretical orientation is integrative, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and client-centered theories. I tailor my approach to the unique needs and goals of each client. For instance, I integrate cognitive-behavioral strategies to address specific challenges, foster humanistic principles to promote self-discovery, and employ client-centered techniques to enhance the therapeutic alliance. I believe in the inherent wisdom of the body and incorporate emotional and somatic awareness into my holistic practice. By listening to the body, we can navigate past traumas and painful experiences together.

Healing starts when we know what to heal from, believe that we can heal, and connect with our inner and external resources to heal.

I'm committed to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. Together we discover and embrace your authentic self, release your inner strengths for personal and relational growth.

Hello and welcome! Pursuing therapy is a major step in caring for your mental health, and finding a therapist who is a good match is of utmost importance. I work with clients ages 16 and up, and focus on building trusting therapeutic relationships. In a nutshell, my approach focuses on helping people break out of patterns that are no longer serving them and connecting them to their power in the present moment. As a queer nonbinary clinician, I have particular expertise in working with LGBQ+ and TGNC populations, as well as supporting people in navigating kink, non-monogamy, and alternative relationship structures.

Ideally, therapy has been shown to have the best outcomes when you feel like your therapist gets you. Therapy is a relationship, rather than a set of instructions. My approach is warm, interactive, practical, and empathic, and I draw from relational, feminist, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive treatment models. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, along with helping you contextualize your life experiences, honoring your expertise in your own life.

Therapy is choosing yourself. Boldly. It's a lantern-lit excursion, to seek out your one-true-voice, amidst a great din. It is a space to find your sovereignty, wounds, and all. A workshop, laboratory, and garden plot, in which to build, test, and grow: so you can hone your inner leader, teammate, partner, friend, and family member. I work with the veils and walls that stand between you and becoming your best self. If you are here, you are already bold.

Hi I'm happy you're here! I'm an NYC-based therapist passionate about co-creating healing relationships with teens 14+ and adults. I’ve often found the most kindred connections working with emerging adults, LGBTQ+ & gender expansive folks, sex workers & nightlife performers, those deconstructing harmful conditioning, people who practice kink, BDSM, or non-normative relational structures, and all those seeking to embody ever-evolving, authentic versions of themselves. My approach is a concoction of my own complex healing journey, 15 years of learning both in the classroom & in the community, and an endless flow of genuine curiosity.

Sometimes it feels as though we are stuck. We can find ourselves in harmful or unmanageable cycles that persist. By creating a safe space to creatively experiment in therapy you can provide yourself with the means and intention to grow. As a Clinician I have worked with clients experiencing addiction, the impact of trauma, family dysfunction, and/or dissatisfaction with life and how they are managing through it. What if life could grow past the walls, we learned to plaster around ourselves for safety and stability, what might be possible?

I aim to create a safe and affirming environment for clients to feel supported in exploring past and present experiences. I deeply values the vulnerability of my clients, and seek to build a therapeutic relationship that is founded in collaboration, trust, and empathy. I believe in each client’s innate strengths, and I am interested in identifying and working through barriers to better understand the narratives we often have about ourselves. I work collaboratively to help clients rework these stories to fully honor who they want to be. My training and life experiences shape my practice.

It is my strong belief that the systems we navigate directly impact our mental health and well-being, and that through recognition and critical consciousness of these influences, we can radically free ourselves. My therapeutic approach borrows from Freirean thought, acknowledging that individuals are masters of their own experiences and that collaboratively we will liberate each other. I believe growing up multiracial (Chinese; White) and queer positioned me well to see how uniquely multifaceted each person is. In my therapy, we will nurture a nonjudgmental and explorative space centering your growth.

Some clients come to therapy with specific goals for behavior change, perhaps in their relationship with food or substances. Others come to therapy looking to shift the way they talk to themselves or others. And still some come to therapy looking to experience reflection, validation, and compassion in a safe relationship, perhaps for the first time. I will help you identify your goals, meet you where you are, and move at your pace. I use a relational approach, which essentially means I believe the therapeutic relationship is many times the crux of healing. I also call upon skills-based therapy as needed.
