Transgender Therapists in New York, NY
My Transgender Care Therapist certification was earned through a 56-hour training on WPATH Standards of Care and transgender health issues.
NY & DC Residents Only - My priority is to create a space where you are understood. Many of my clients come to me burnt out from therapy experiences where they couldn’t show up as their full selves, but as your therapist, I want to provide an affirming space so we can redirect all the energy you’ve spent explaining who you are toward progression and healing. I commit to working as hard as you do, walking with you as we build strategies and road maps that lead you to the next favorite version of yourself.

Whether you have more questions about yourself than answers, you have spent years editing yourself and shrinking your desires, or you carry the quiet exhaustion of living in a world that offers too little care, I am here to hold space for your needs.
My style is conversational, collaborative, and led by consent. Always at your pace, I will walk alongside you with curiosity instead of judgement. I invite you to bring any parts of you that want to be held, even if they feel contradictory, raw, unfinished, or too much. I predominantly work with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, especially TGNC folks.

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 work with thoughtful adults and couples who understand themselves well and still feel stuck — in anxiety, burnout, repeating patterns, or relationships that are not working the way they want. Many have done the intellectual work. They know the why. What they are looking for is a different kind of experience — therapy that goes deeper than insight alone and helps them feel less ruled by what no longer fits. I offer identity-affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients and those in nontraditional or polyamorous relationships, with genuine respect for complexity and lived experience.

I work with people who live, in some way, on the edges of the dominant culture—people who don’t quite fit, who think deeply, feel deeply, and are often misunderstood in conventional spaces, including sometimes in therapy. My work is grounded in contemplative psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology and integrates relational, attachment-based, and mindfulness-based approaches. I have particular expertise in gender and sexuality, identity and life transitions, grief and loss, unconventional relationships and families, and the existential questions that arise when you are trying to build a life that actually fits who you are.

Growth and healing happen when we create space for all parts of ourselves to be witnessed and held. I believe the client-therapist relationship is at the heart of the therapeutic process, and I strive to collaboratively co-create meaning and a greater understanding of yourself. My style is responsive, relational, and casual. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own experience and my role is to facilitate better understanding of yourself. My work is grounded in anti-oppressive politics that recognizes the harm that oppressive structures do to all of us, but especially those with marginalized identities.

Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed with new or unexpected life stressors, or when they feel stuck or controlled by their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we focus so much on being happy, but paradoxically experience happiness as elusive. I work collaboratively with adult clients to change their relationships with their thoughts and feelings, regain control over their actions, and lead meaningful lives. I encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as therapy can be an important space to address the effects of racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

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?

You’re doing your best to hold everything together, yet under the surface you may feel anxious, stuck, or emotionally drained—like no one truly sees you. Perhaps old wounds still weigh on you, or you’re trying to find your place in a world that hasn’t always felt safe or fair. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
As a queer, non-binary, bilingual therapist living with my own experiences of mental health challenges, I understand how complex it can feel to seek support. I’ve worked extensively with immigrant and marginalized communities, and I offer a space grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect.

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.

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
