Anupama ”Anu” Kalyanam LCSW

I’m a member of Bloom Psychotherapy NYC, a group private practice that provides gender and sexuality expansive therapy, in the heart of NYC. I work with adults (individuals, and couples/intimate partnerships including polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships) on any part of gender and/or sexuality exploration. Whether you are just starting your journey of exploration and want extra support, or you are comfortable with your exploration and want a therapist to whom you don’t have to educate on basics of your identities, I’m here to help you be your most authentic self - whatever that looks like.

I also specialize in providing therapy to transgender and gender non-conforming children and adolescents, regardless of where your child is in their journey of exploration. In addition I work with children coming from polyamorous/non-monogamous families, as well as other non-traditional family structures such as blended families, and families going through separation or divorce.

Finally, I understand that our society is set up in such a way that certain people are valued more than others. Those people that are valued more benefit from certain privileges. I know that systemic racism, oppression, transphobia, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and more are not your fault, but can impact your life and contribute to your mental health. I am well-versed in working with people of color and understand how we often hold more than one identity at any given moment in our lives, and how that impacts how we navigate our worlds.
