Queer-affirming therapy for creatives in NYC

BROOKLYN | MANHATTAN | ONLINE ACROSS NY STATE

Trauma

Trauma isn't always a single event. Sometimes it's the accumulation of smaller ones, or the absence of something you needed. We work with complex childhood trauma, relational trauma, sexual trauma and gender-based violence, racial and religious trauma, and the aftermath of loss.

OCD + Anxiety

OCD (all types, we've seen it all), generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, perfectionism, anxious attachment, and health anxiety. When you feel like your body gets hijacked by your mind's worst fears.

Identity + Relationships

Gender identity and transition, sexuality, relationship patterns, nonmonogamy, family conflict, communication, abuse, attachment, people-pleasing, and the work of building community. Exploring questions of who you are and what kind of relationships you want.

Mood + Energy

Depression, grief, shame, emotional numbness, burnout, energy swings, PMDD, or feeling directionless in life. We find what's workable during times it feels hard to be present, motivated, or like yourself.

Creativity + Career

Creative blocks, performance anxiety, visibility fears, career transitions, and imposter syndrome. For people who want to feel more in alignment with their work, need help setting boundaries, or who are working up the courage to build and do more.

Life Transitions

Moves, breakups, graduations, babies, job changes, new chapters and major life changes that change your roles and sense of self. We help you prepare, navigate, and orient around your new reality.

Our process

Deepen your relationship to self

Experiment with new ways of living

Move confidently toward what matters most

Our methods

We emphasize experiential modalities, offering you a chance to learn by doing, feeling, and practicing rather than just talking.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured trauma-focused therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories that still interfering with your life. Rather than talking through what happened, EMDR uses the body, sensory cues, and visualization to let the brain develop more adaptive response to what happened. It's one of the most researched trauma treatments available.

IFS is a model of therapy based on the idea that you’re made up of different “parts”, each with its own perspective, feelings, and role. IFS helps you deeply understand these parts and get to know your internal world in a way that can ease self judgment and change stuck patterns. It’s a beautiful mix of structured and exploratory - and we work only at the pace your system allows.

KAP combines the neurological effects of ketamine with the relational depth of psychotherapy to create conditions for insight and change that can be hard to access through talk therapy alone. It's particularly useful for treatment-resistant depression, trauma, and anxiety. These are longer in-person sessions of 3-4 hours that include preparation, dosing, journeying, and integration. We work with trusted queer-affirming prescribers to support you through every stage of the process.

We blend Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to create a flexible, trauma-informed, values-based approach to treating OCD and anxiety. We focus on gradually confronting whatever scary or uncomfortable situations you’d like to face that will help you live more freely and fully, not just to follow a treatment protocol.

ACT is an experiential, behavioral, and values-based approach to therapy that focuses less on eliminating difficult thoughts and feelings and more on changing your relationship to them. The goal is to increase your psychological flexibility so you can build a life that feels meaningful and aligned with what actually matters to you. It's practical, evidence-based, and works well alongside other modalities.

We believe art, music, writing, somatic experience, and community are essential components of mental health, and we consistently seek ways to integrate these elements into our approach. Somatic therapy is focused on connecting with the body as a source of wisdom and healing, and creative practices allow for self expression beyond words. This is particularly well-suited for performers, artists, and anyone who processes the world more through felt experience than through language.
