Transgender Therapists in New York, NY
Welcome! If you’re queer, trans, nonbinary, questioning, neurodivergent, kinky, poly, or otherwise inclined to resist mainstream narratives of mental health and well-being, then I may be the right fit for you. Amidst a culture of relentless political persecution I offer an oasis of calm, compassion and creative self-reflection. I have over 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 take great pleasure in assisting others with dismantling internalized forms of oppression and critically reframing their experiences with radical self-love.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
My ideal client is someone who has built a full, functioning life—career, relationships, responsibilities—while carrying experiences that haven’t been fully processed. They may appear strong and capable, yet feel the quiet impact of past trauma, painful relationships, or unresolved experiences beneath the surface.
They don’t necessarily want to “start over” or dismantle their life. They want relief. They want to understand themselves more clearly. They want to feel steady, connected, and at peace without losing the stability they’ve worked hard to create.

The parts of ourselves that we struggle with are sometimes our greatest assets. Therapy can be a place to better realize our strengths and identify where long-term narratives and behaviors are no longer serving us. I am passionate about working with people on areas such as OCD, anxiety, trauma, adoption, gender, and relationships including romantic and parental. Oftentimes religion/spirituality and sex/sexuality, come up in my work. My therapeutic approach incorporates both systemic and relational pieces. We do not exist in a vacuum. All of our experiences shape the person we are today

Whatever brought you here, whether a crisis, a persistent pattern, or a conflict between the person you were and the person you are about to become, your story deserves to be witnessed as fully as possible. I don't think of these conflicts as problems that need to be solved, I think of them as invitations into the more elusive and dynamic parts of us existing below the surface we present to the world.

Are you caught between competing identities, beliefs, and desires? Are you struggling to heal from trauma, overcome despair, or maintain boundaries? Do you find yourself socially or politically misunderstood by those around you? Do you repeat the same unsatisfying patterns in work, friendship, relationships, and with yourself? Together, we can explore all this in a curious, collaborative, non-judgmental way. All feelings and beliefs are welcome, no matter how confusing or contradictory they may seem at first. I believe that the best therapy is affirming yet challenging, and built on trust, joy, and humor. It's never too late to try.

It can be difficult to access the fulfillment we deserve when up against a world that does not understand or value us in our entireties. I believe that the space that you and I co-create can serve as a springboard for meaningful processing of this difficulty and—ultimately—the rich, self-determined life you want to live. While centering your experiences, even those that are most challenging, I bring unconditional openness, warmth, and humor. I work with folks on the margins that want to see a therapist they can relate to and feel held by. I aim to serve as a trustworthy guide and confidant as you set goals that are right for you.

Every day, I am inspired by the courage and strength of my clients. Bearing witness to their progress and being part of their journey of fulfillment is a profound honor. As Irvin Yalom poignantly stated, "The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help." I am here to listen, support, and guide you every step of the way, helping you embrace the here and now and unlock your inner strength. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor, where we work in concert to uncover patterns, build coping strategies, and foster personal growth.

I work extensively with members of the LGBTQ+ community - particularly transgender and non-binary individuals, Autistic and other neurodivergent individuals, as well as activists, artists/creatives, teachers, lawyers, college students and others to address a range of issues including depression and anxiety, issues around gender identity and sexuality, issues connected with neurodivergence, and others.
My Feminist Therapy approach is rooted in understanding, respect, and empowerment. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. I use an eclectic mix of Existential, Narrative, and Acceptance & Commitment therapies, together with elements of other therapy approaches.

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.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I work with people experiencing the impact of trauma, depression, anxiety, identity concerns, relationship issues, and neurodiversity, among others. As a queer, Mexican-American therapist, I recognize the importance of addressing the nuances of intersectional identities and the impact of oppressive systems. While I specialize in working with those part of the LGBTQ+ community, I welcome individuals of any identity and background.

I’m Tanya, a Queer, Xennial, I was born and raised in New York City by a blended family. Mental health is a second career for me, after working over 15 years in business and corporate finance, a world I left in 2012 after an experience with psychedelics that changed my self-concept as well as the trajectory of my life. Since that experience, I have immersed myself in advocacy for people who use drugs, using a harm reduction lens. I don’t believe in psychedelic exceptionalism, but I do believe in them as a possible alternative means healing and self discovery. In addition to understanding social norms with the psychedelic community

I work with individuals navigating trauma, struggling with emotional overwhelm, or those seeking to understand themselves beyond a diagnosis. You may be seeking a space where your feelings and experiences are taken seriously - where healing doesn't necessitate a timeline or a one-size-fits-all definition. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where your strengths are visible, your autonomy is respected, and your capacity for growth is honored.

I hold diagnostic privilege credentials allowing me to offer gender-affirming care letters.
I work with LGBTQIA+ adults recovering from strict upbringings navigating anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, life transitions, and the (often invisible) wounds of relational trauma. Many of my clients are over-thinkers who’ve learned to survive by performing for others, disconnecting from their bodies, masking their needs, or constantly scanning for what’s “wrong” with them. Together, we’ll begin the gentle (and sometimes challenging!) work of building a loving relationship with yourself.

Welcome to my page! I believe healing is both a personal and collective journey rooted in self-exploration, connection, and unlearning narratives that no longer serve us. As a Black queer therapist, I strive to create a warm, culturally-affirming space where individuals can show up fully as themselves, without having to shrink or hide who they are. My approach is collaborative and active. Rather than simply listening or giving advice, I prefer to walk alongside folks as we explore their identity, understand the patterns shaping their lived-experiences, and navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, self-trust, and freedom.
