Non-Binary Therapists in New York, NY

Defne believes in the healing power of the human connection and works to establish a safe, genuine, and compassionate environment for personal growth and change. She collaborates with her clients to come up with the best strategies to meet their unique needs. As such, she makes use of different modalities while staying rooted in a person-centered and mindfulness-based approach. She has reflected on the meaning of multiculturalism, intersectional identities, and how they interface with mental health as a queer-identified therapist who had to leave her home country with the hopes of constructing a new future.

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.

Hello and welcome! I work with adults and couples who would like support for depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, life-transitions, personal growth, identity and issues within religion and spirituality. I use an integrative approach in my therapeutic style, where I will collaborate with you to create unique therapy that is best-suited to you specifically. We will define what progress looks like for you and continue to revisit those goals throughout our work together.

I'm a trans nonbinary therapist who specializes in helping clients navigate OCD, anxiety, and sexual trauma (and often the intersection of all three). I help clients understand that anxiety is not actually an emotion, but a way of avoiding bigger, more unpleasant feelings bubbling beneath the surface. Much of my work consists of helping folks process their grief at the existential nightmare that is the world we live in. Using mind-body therapies like IFS and ERP, I teach clients how to get in touch with these Big Feelings without being swallowed by them.

I work with families of all ages for family therapy. Why? A relationship in your family has been bothering you for quite some time. The resentment's been building for years. You're ready to work to untangle it. I will help you understand your part in the relationship dynamic and, if it makes sense, work with your family member to repair the hurt from the past and move forward.

I strive to create a soft place to land when life feels overwhelming. It’s both brave and natural to seek support, whether you've struggled for a while or recently experienced a major change. In our work together, I will collaborate with you to move through difficult emotional states and life events.

I practice therapy because I believe relationships are the most important and powerful part of life. I'm invested in understanding who my clients are, building a relationship in which they feel known, and using that connection as a pathway out of shame. My clients often find common ground with me through unconventionality, humor, an appreciation for complexity, and an intersectional lens. I work with adults, teens, and relationship partners on issues relating to complex trauma, queerness and sexuality, ADHD, disability, and nontraditional and non-monogamous relationships.

Hi! I'm Zoe Lahm, a therapist in training at Express Yourself Therapy. I am dedicated to fostering an environment where you feel safe and supported. My therapeutic approach is relational and psychodynamic; I aim to dismantle negative beliefs and empower you to live a life aligned with your values and desires.

I am a Jewish, queer, neurodivergent therapist. It is my goal to provide a safe and warm environment where my clients can explore areas of their lives that cause distress. We can work together to identify unacknowledged emotions, fears, desires, and entrenched patterns so that you can live a life worth living. I am motivated in helping any client who is struggling. I bring a great deal of empathy and understanding to people who are struggling with mental health issues and it would be a privilege to come along on the journey of healing with you.

Sometimes things happen in our lives that change us in ways we couldn't predict. It might be a single event or an accumulation of experiences over time that rock our sense of stability and trust in ourselves, others, and our confidence to move through the world freely. It can feel like a never-ending battle to keep emotions in check while continuing to juggle all the complex demands of our lives. We end up feeling burnt-out, isolated, detached, and struggle with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem as we attempt to manage these extremes on our own.

Each of our paths forward are nuanced, complicated, and can be difficult to navigate alone. I believe therapy is a space that can help us better understand our past experiences and relationships, and see the role they play in our current perspectives on the world and ourselves. Every client can expect to be met with compassion, warmth, and curiosity as we explore your history, identify patterns and behaviors, define boundaries, and move into growth and lasting change.

Are you exploring your relationship to gender, sexuality, or ways of being in relationship to yourself and others? Do you find yourself feeling disconnected or “othered” by your unique ways of, and desire to, show up or engage in this world? Are you interested in feeling more attuned to your unique body-mind and embodying a more genuine, compassionate, and authentic self? If you answered yes to any of those questions, we may work really well together! My name is Meredith and I am a queer, nonbinary, and neurodivergent therapist.

Only accepting new clients for Neuroqueer Connections virtual group at this time. I’m passionate about supporting people along their healing journeys and paths of self-discovery. I don’t believe we seek out therapy because we are “flawed” or because we need to be “fixed.” Instead, I view therapy as a powerful act of self-care when navigating challenging systems, -isms, circumstances and relationships. My own lived experience as a neurodivergent Korean adoptee drives my commitment to practicing from a place that holds space for - and celebrates- each person’s multiple and intersecting identities.

Therapy should be a space to help you better understand yourself and how you got to where you are now. My job is to help you do just that. I work from a non-judgmental, empathetic, and attuned place, to help you feel supported throughout your process. I believe therapy should be collaborative, and while not always comfortable, you will always feel safe and heard. We may laugh, you may cry, and you may laugh while you cry. Wherever you’d like to go, I’d like to go there with you.

Book a session with me if you want to find a compassionate, understanding, and open space to delve into self-exploration and self-expression. Therapy has always been near and dear to my heart; my own experiences in therapy throughout my life have been transformative for me in countless ways, especially through times of hardship. Joining the field as a professional is my way of paying that forward. I aspire to engage in meaningful work and aim to make a significant impact on others’ lives for the better, as my own therapeutic experiences have done for me.

​My primary focus is working with adults and adolescents dealing with issues of identity, anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship issues. It can be incredibly overwhelming to start making changes in your life but through an individual, personalized approach I hope to help make the tough times a little easier.

Hi! I'm Sam, a Professional Coach who works with neurodivergent adults (ADHD, Autistic, AuDHD, OCD) who have unconventional lives to understand and embrace their unique neurotypes, so they can effectively minimize stress, overcome challenges, and improve their quality of life. Together, we can co-create a supportive, non-judgmental, and effective coaching partnership through which you will learn to fully utilize your strengths, understand and embrace your full humanity, and cultivate practices that are key to defining and achieving your own version of success. Please note: I am a qualified coach, NOT a psychotherapist or counselor.

Although the energy of transition and healing is in the air for so many of us, undergoing the initial steps towards seeking support can be difficult. Thank you for leaning into this process and exploring some of the ways we may be able to work and move in partnership towards a space of spiritual, emotional, and mental wellness. During our initial sessions, we will focus on weaving together, the elements of your lived experience that inform your current thought process; the identities that inform how you move through the world; and which will ultimately support in outlining a set of intentions and goals for our time together.

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 am queer, non-binary, non-monogamous, kinky, and neurodiverse (ADHD). I'm a chronically ill, disabled, former sex worker and a leftist. I believe that therapists can hold safe boundaries for clients, while also encouraging transparency and authenticity of self.
