LGBTQIA+ THERAPY IN NEW YORK
MEANINGFUL SESSIONS WITH THERAPISTS WHO GET YOU
Affirming support for identity, healing, and self-acceptance
If you’re questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity, navigating the complexities of coming out, or struggling with family relationships, you’re not alone. Maybe past therapists weren’t affirming or lacked the knowledge to truly support you. You might long for self-acceptance, healing from internalized homophobia or transphobia, or the ability to set healthy boundaries with loved ones.
HEALING IS A SAFE, AFFIRMING SPACE
Too often, LGBTQ+ experiences are misunderstood or pathologized, but your struggles are real—the result of existing in a world that doesn’t always affirm who you are. We take a trauma-informed approach to LGBTQ+ therapy, providing a space where you can understand yourself beyond just labels and live fully as your authentic self. Therapy can help you feel supported and confident in your coming-out journey, heal from past wounds, and find true self-acceptance. With an affirming therapist, you no longer have to navigate this alone.
You deserve a therapist who sees you.
You are beautiful just the way you are.
You deserve a therapist who sees that.
FAQ’s About LGBTQIA+ therapy
-
LGBTQ+ therapy is tailored to meet the needs of folx who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, non-binary, asexual, intersex, and more; if you don’t fit neatly in a cis- or heteronormative box, then LGBTQ+ therapy is for you. As you work with a queer-affirming therapist, we’ll focus on identity exploration, personal growth, healing trauma, and addressing unique challenges such as discrimination, coming out, family dynamics, and internalized stigma. You will be able to explore all aspects of your identity without judgment, in a relational space that is safe, secure, and affirming of your whole personhood.

TRADITIONAL weekly 50 MINUTE SESSIONS?
THEY DON’T WORK FOR EVERYONE
