Teletherapy for New York

Hi, my name is Renee DelRossi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), School Certified Social Worker and CASAC In New York & Delaware. My preferred pronouns are she/her/hers and they/them/theirs. I cultivate a compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive therapeutic services. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe space for identity exploration, so that individuals can more fully embody their truth in their day to day life. I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate and encouraging experience to assist with whatever difficulties an individual is being confronted with.

Like many people as of late, you might be reevaluating life. If you came across this page, you're probably looking for an experienced, trained professional to help you process your thoughts and feelings. Now more than ever, people are seeking therapy. Time is valuable. Therapy is an investment of your time and resources in you. Your unique life experiences, cultures, sexuality, and gender identities are just a few of the components that intersect to make you, well, you. Together, we can explore how these intersecting identities and your cognitive-behavioral patterns come together to create your experience and your life.

I work with emerging adults (ages 18-29) and professionals seeking to explore depression, anxiety, gender and sexuality, single-event, systemic and interpersonal trauma, self-esteem, creativity, and career and academic planning. We might be a good match if you often find yourself focused on the distressing feelings, body sensations, and thoughts that form in response to trauma and life’s challenges. Maybe you want to incorporate a mind/body approach to mental health, explore your attachment style, or learn new coping tools.

Are you unconventional in ways that makes finding a therapeutic fit hard? Need tailored sessions? Hi, I'm Locke! Whether you want to use sessions as executive function coaching, silent brainspotting, or cathartic chats, I'll aim to make it possible. Rationality-valuing, polyamorous, & LGBTQ+ neurodivergents with complex trauma report the most relief working with me, but my trauma treatment through individual and couple's counseling can benefit all. Survivors, especially those who don't wish to talk about their trauma, are as accommodated as those who do. Welcome, creatives, philosophers, and insomniacs needing flexibility!

Do you feel misunderstood or unaccepted? Does it feel impossible to be your true self and be happy? Living inauthentically can lead to pain and make it hard to live a fulfilling life. We live in a tough world that forces people to “fit in” to be accepted. Deep dissatisfaction, sadness, worry and low self-esteem often result from this pressure and can make it feel next to impossible to find a path to joy and fulfillment. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I empathize deeply with these experiences. The great news is change happens and you are on your way, having taken this first step to find a therapist.

I work with neurodivergent and non-conforming clients who are often gender expansive and have not had the opportunity to orient to their own sense of self. Heightened sensory sensitivity impacts the development of sense of self in the context of likely not having been attuned with, and rather having adapted to the environment one was developing within. Those who have the natural capacity to sense so much, know a lot without knowing how. And without being self-directed, these individuals can unknowingly adapt to the demands of their environments as well as their internal sensory demands and miss out on living their authentic life.

Navigating this world as a marginalized individual is hard. As a neurodivergent, queer individual, I get it. I feel an intense desire to help those who feel marginalized or shut out by society begin to feel acknowledged and loved while they begin to understand how they can take up space in this world without being rejected. You are the expert on your own life, I am simply here to guide you along your journey. I am deeply passionate about how humans think, work, and view the world, and want to help you explore your curiosities and come to a better understanding of yourself.

I work with individuals who are looking to process past traumas and gain confidence in their life decisions. I help my clients learn more about themselves, their experiences, and how every interaction can shape how an individual lives their life. We are all navigating this world, and I am here to show you how we can do it together.

Any intersecting identities, bodies and abilities are welcomed here in this brave space we collaborate on together. I'm Luna (they/them) and I am a trans, nonbinary, queer, polyam and Latine therapist based in New York. My lived experiences as a queer and trans, low-income, first generation student with immigrant parents, inform how I am able to provide the most collaborative, client-centered and strengths based care to provide transformative justice towards your healing.

I believe in community care, liberation, growth, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and focus around issues of relationships, trauma, transitions, and alternative lifestyles (such as kink/BDSM, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, etc.).

I believe everyone has a story that needs to be shared. Therapy can be a space where we challenge how we relate to our stories as well as the one's we've been told by our families, cultures, and society. Therapy can also be a space where we reckon with the universal systems and histories of oppression that have impacted our stories, our ability to tell them, and how we feel they are received in the world. I provide support to those who are motivated towards greater understandings of their stories in order to heal the connections in their relationships with themselves and others.

My clients and I co-create a gentle and warm space for my clients to explore their identities and narratives. While doing so, issues and stresses related to family, work, relationships, education, intergenerational trauma, identities and transitions are likely to come up. Through introspection, connection, and skills learning, I am here to encourage my clients to grow into and sustain the most authentic versions of themselves. I am experienced in working with members of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

You might not realize it yet but you know yourself better than anyone else. What I have found in my personal and professional experience is that the more connected and compassionate we are with ourselves, the more connected and compassionate we are to our surroundings. I am a Brown, queer, gender non-conforming, immigrant, psychotherapist. I practice from an anti-oppressive lens that acknowledges the impact of the many systems we navigate under everyday. Naming the impact along with an exploration of the self, can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our humanity.

Are you struggling with difficult family dynamics or a lack of support from your environment? Are you finding that the tools that you have turned to cope, like substance use and avoidance, has taken hold of your life? Are you feeling exhausted or constrained by treatment that sees your experience as a disease and dispenses formulaic solutions? You are not your symptoms and you deserve care from someone who wants to join you, sees you as the multi-layered complex person you are and supports your vision of healing in mind.

Do you want to explore your relationships (from childhood to adulthood) and understand how they influence your life now? I am a queer, trans, white, and neurodivergent person living in Manhattan. As a queer trans person, I never felt completely understood by my therapists growing up, and, as a result, I want to provide a reliable, secure, and affirmative support system for others. I believe that therapy needs to be flexible and collaborative. Mental wellness looks different for everyone, and what works for one client may not work for another; the client and therapist work best as a team.

Your experience is real, putting someone else’s feelings above that is unfair to you. The different journeys we have lived so far has shaped how we respond and react to our loved ones today. Some walks through life end up with us feeling like our needs are selfish. It can lead to decisions weighing on our minds because they are not always understood by society. They can steer us to go down paths where we start to rely on substances to get us through the day. Other times, it prevents us from looking pass the hurt from past relationships to enjoy our life fully.

I primarily focused my studies on communities of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the effects of pervasive trauma. I also am very interested in neurodivergent and anxiety disorders.

I am skilled in providing psychotherapy services related to anxiety, depression, sexuality, gender identity, roles, and expression, and life transitions. My foundation is focused on the strength of the therapeutic relationship through affirmation, collaboration, and trust. Through these methods I aim to create an open, safe environment in which clients may discuss, reflect, and create paths towards self-understanding and acceptance. ***TGNC+ identifying individuals will be given priority when it comes to session availability.***

I take a multifaceted approach to treating individuals. This means that I focus on improving patterns with interpersonal relationships to help you communicate better, reduce conflict in your life, and enjoy closeness in your relationships. I also take a strengths-based approach to help you focus on what you do best and help optimize functioning in other areas. Within that, my experience, skill, and insight help you to heal from painful past experiences. I am certified in trauma-focused CBT and other evidence-based modalities. I nurture a warm environment, one of inclusiveness and cultural & racial sensitivity.
