Having an affirming therapist matters.
We don’t believe in neutral therapists. Identity and positionality matters, especially if you’re a queer and/or trans person navigating a world that wasn’t built for you. Having a therapist who understands the nuanced questions you’re working through about identity, family, relationships, and community can relieve you from the role of educator so you can open up to the support and guidance you deserve.
We’re a queer-owned practice that primarily serves queer, trans, and gender expansive creatives in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and across NY state. We work best with clients who are dissatisfied with following normative social scripts and want to bring themselves and their desires more fully into the world.
Our therapists bring their full selves to this work — because we believe healing happens in relationship, and that relationship has to be real.
Is this you?
You've been to therapists who were "accepting" but still made you explain yourself, educate them, or minimize parts of your identity to make the work more palatable.
You’re navigating trauma, OCD, anxiety, family conflict, and relationship stress that gets tangled up with your queerness and transness in a way that makes it hard to discern what the problem is.
You want a therapist who can hold space for the wild mix of pride, grief, joy, confusion, hardship, excitement, and anxiety that comes with being queer and/or trans.
You’ve worked with therapists who assumed your queerness and/or transness was your primary stressor when you needed to be seen as whole, complex, and multifaceted.
You carry the weight of feeling different and want the therapy room to be a break from that.
How we work
We offer trauma-informed, client-centered experiential therapy that invites your whole identity into the process. Our therapists are trained in IFS, EMDR, ERP, ACT, and Hakomi Method (somatics). We also incorporate music, art, writing, movement, and other creative resources that resonate with the complexities of living in a queer and/or trans body.
What we specialize in
Complex trauma and CPTSD — including the particular wounds that come from family rejection, religious trauma, medical trauma, and growing up queer in spaces that weren't safe.
Identity and transition — whether you're navigating gender transition, new relationship structures, social disclosure (coming out), or simply trying to understand yourself more fully, we provide space to help you work through it all.
Relationship stress and relational healing — we help you clarify and communicate what you really want, need, and deserve in relationships. We see the therapeutic dynamic as an opportunity for relational healing that extends into all of your personal relationships.
OCD and anxiety — with a queer-affirming lens that understands how intrusive thoughts, identity, and shame can become deeply entangled. We use ACT-informed ERP that is values-based, flexible, and done at your own pace.
