Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

Since 1985 I have worked in the human potential/healthcare field with people in many situations. My initial training was at a buddhist school and since then Jungian analytic and contemporary psychiatric training have also been very influential to how I work. Polyamorous arrangements and sexuality/relatedness issues in general are issues which come up in my practice frequently, as well as other common challenges such as life choices, direction, and transitions, as well as mood, substance use, spirituality, attention and mindfulness, anxiety, and the like. I am happy to talk initially briefly by phone if you like to see if an initial meeting might make sense and be possible. Sliding fee scale; flexible payment arrangements possible; many insurances accepted; out-of-network coverage likely for others.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist who will not pathologize your kinks and fetishes, your Poly or BDSM relationships, or your celibacy or asexuality. I work from a foundation of compassion, and my top priority is providing a safe place to explore yourself and to facilitate personal growth and change. I will assist you in developing a new awareness of yourself, your relationships, and how your life experiences have helped to make you who you are. I will also help you develop new and healthier ways of seeing yourself and your relationships in alignment with your own values and goals. - Does phone and online consultation.

Service all ages. LGBTGEQIAP+, Polyamorous relationship and family systems, and CNM/ENM are populations that I love to work with. Kink knowledgeable and sex positive. ENM Lv1 completion (Martha Kauppi) Inclusive and affirming environment.

I offer a therapeutic approach to working with individuals, couples, polycules, and families to enhance communication, boundaries, and goals. I do not view therapy as a one size fits all model, and generally focus on offering person-centered care. My approach to working with clients is creative and collaborative.

The nature of life is to grow. We honor this most fundamental law of nature through our relationships. But without this understanding in relationship situations, we wrongly mistake the impulse to grow as a problem, rooted in past fearful memories, projected into an imagined future. Having the knowledge, tools and courage to own our individual interior reality, is imperative for healthy relationships. Learn how to love and support one another in staying identified with the Self, making peace with and resolving Egoic fears, and consciously create the loving relationships you deserve. I have been a Psychotherapist for ten years and practicing polyamory for five. I provide a free short phone consultation for prospective clients. I also offer Relationship Coaching, Parenting Education and Support, and Introductory Meditation Instruction.

We all carry pain. This pain can come from many places. For many of us as queer people, it may come from navigating the world with one or more stigmatized identities, or simply from our broader lived experiences. I see therapy as an opportunity to understand and connect to your inner self, your identities, and your pain. I aim for you to feel seen, heard, and held, and for you to see that you, with all your complexities and pain, are whole and enough, just as you are. We will attend to areas of struggle and celebrate your already existing areas of strength. In this way, we can work together to ease the burden of the pain you carry and find relief and healing. To feel joy, as well as pain, is our humanity.

The central tenet of my approach to our work together is mutual curiosity. Together, you and I will co-create a space where you can gain a better understanding of all the different parts of you, where you can discover and grow, and unlearn and shed those things which may not suit your growth, and where you can be both held and challenged with care and compassion.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I pull from different lenses depending on what feels most helpful in the moment. We can utilize a psychodynamic approach to understand how your past experiences may impact you in the present, a cognitive behavioral approach to build awareness around and change unconscious thought patterns that no longer serve you, or a systems approach to acknowledge the impact family, cultural, and institutional systems may have on your life. Overlaying all this, I approach our work together with authenticity, humor, and warmth.

My goal as a clinical psychologist is to help motivated adults to identify what they want out of life, figure out what’s getting in their way, and overcome those obstacles to achieve the lives they want. I am particularly interested in working with clients in the kink and polyamory communities, as well as the wider geeky/nerdy communities with which those often overlap. Whatever you’re into, chances are I’ve heard of it, I won’t be shocked by it, and I won’t leap to conclusions about you based on it. I work with adults of all ages and genders (I identify as male myself). For more information, please see my practice website and/or call or email to set up an initial appointment. Your initial contact will be received by my colleague, Dr. Sarah Gray, who can discuss payment options and other issues and schedule an initial appointment with me. She will ask for some information about your therapy goals, but it is perfectly acceptable to wait to share information about your sexuality (if you so choose) until you have had a chance to meet and get comfortable with your therapist. Note: currently all therapy is remote; remote therapy will likely remain available even once in-person sessions resume.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS BASED IN NEW YORK STATE

Please email me for information about current openings. My general business hours are the following:

• Monday through Wednesday from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm (EST)
• Thursday from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (EST)

The foundation of my therapy is to create a safe, non-judgemental space for the client to discover their inherent wisdom and healing potential. The relationships I build with clients are based on empathy and respect for the client’s unique process. The human self is not a static entity. We are always unfolding and becoming, in each moment.

Sometimes, trauma cuts us off from this process of unfolding. Many of us have learned maladaptive coping strategies in response to traumatic environments. Later in life, this may lead us to become “stuck” in self-destructive habits or unhealthy relationships. We may hold trauma in the body, which keeps us constricted and disconnected from the world around us.

I focus on empowering clients to break out of those patterns and live fuller lives.

I help clients develop skills to manage overwhelming emotions, through mindfulness, self-care and nurturing connections with others. My goal is not just to provide tools for clients to manage problems, but rather, to help them develop an internal sense of strength and resiliency.

My primary focus, in therapy, is on the here-and-now. I use techniques of mindfulness and body awareness to deepen understanding of emotions, and how they affect human connection in the present moment. I also teach meditation practices for relaxation and anxiety management. These may include breathing and visualization exercises. I work with clients to discover meditation practices that suit their unique needs.

I have a background in both Transpersonal and Existential psychotherapy. I support the client’s freedom to find their own source of meaning in their lives. I honor each client’s unique spiritual path, and create safe space for diverse religious traditions. I collaborate with clients to create their own rituals to honor life transitions, empower themselves, process grief and move beyond trauma. I have a real passion for exploring dreams with clients, drawing influence from both Gestalt and Jungian dream work.

I specialize in working with the LGBT and Poly community. I work with individuals of all genders and sexual orientations.

My approach to therapy aspires to be anti-oppressive, anti-racist, trauma-informed, harm reduction, and client-centered. I believe examining relationships of power and privilege is often central to healing and meaning-making. I use narrative therapy, IFS, relational, and psychodynamic approaches, as well as mindfulness, EMDR and somatic work. I have specialized training working with people struggling with substance use, experiencing anxiety and depression, and exploring their gender identities. I also have extensive experience working with trauma and violence survivors, queer and TGNCNB+ people, HIV positive folx, neuro-diverse clients, immigrants, kink and D/S lifestyle relationships, sex workers, and polyamory/non-monogamy, as well as many intersections of these lived experiences.
