I am a mature psychoanalyst who has experience working with college students and other young adults who are facing life transitions. My areas of strength are working with trauma and BPD. You may be carrying a lot of trauma even if you don't identify yourself as a trauma survivor. My approach is not goal or coach oriented. I do not give advice rather I help people to get in touch with their authentic self so that they may be better able to cope with life's challenges.

Hi, my name is Lee! I’m a queer, transgender white male mental health intern who provides individual, person-centered therapy to clients who may feel lost or disconnected from themself or others. Are you questioning what you want your life to look like? Maybe you're starting a journey to explore your gender or sexuality. Or maybe, you're just feeling down in life and are reaching out for help. If this sounds like you, then I may be a good fit as your therapist! I have personal and extensive professional experience with LGBTQ+ mental health, helping clients through their journey. I specialize in helping those who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and/or ADHD within the intersectionality of their life. I also have experience helping those who are diagnosed later in life with ADHD. If any of this sounds familiar, do not hesitate to reach out! The space I provide is judgment free and open to anyone. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations and try to make my practice as accessible to everyone as possible. If you believe you have a barrier that may keep you from getting help, we can discuss that! I hope to hear from you.
I have over 12yrs experience providing support and relief for people suffering from or trying to manage anxiety/depression as well as major transitions in life. I offer support, insight and tools to manage and overcome. I try to weave in both a clear understanding with the client as to the root cause of the concern or difficulty with at least 5 different tools they can use to help manage the day to day. Working at both these levels I have been able to see great success and change in my clients. I am an engaging and warm individual that ensures from the beginning my clients feel comfortable and supported. I have been trained and utilize many evidenced based treatments providing me multiple skills and options in treatments for my clients.
My work is primarily catered toward issues such as acute stress, interpersonal difficulties, and challenges involving mood and anxiety. While I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, I am particularly invested in working with clients with marginalized identities, acting as a welcoming ally to queer and trans identified individuals and people of color. As a therapist, I have close to a decade of experience working with a range of at-risk populations in a number of professional settings. Many of my clients arrive feeling like they move from one stressor to the next. Getting out of bed is difficult, creativity and passion fade, and scrolling on a screen replaces human contact. My practice aims at helping individuals uncover, clarify, and address substantial barriers which block pleasure and satisfaction. The work I do involves a deep exploration of historical, interpersonal, and emotional factors in conjunction with the development of practical skills aimed at fostering wellness.

I take a holistic approach to mental health, considering not just the mind and body but also the cultural and social factors that shape our experiences. This is especially important to me in the South Asian community, where discussions around mental health can feel daunting. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can express your concerns. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, cultural challenges, or life transitions, I’m here to help you find the clarity and resilience to thrive. Together, we can work towards your mental health goals and foster a brighter, more balanced future. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey!

With 8 years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, I've witnessed the tremendous pressure to "have it altogether" in this next generation of adults. The pattern I see is one where one's self-worth is contingent on performance, and the pursuit for perfection is at the cost of authenticity. It's why I focused my practice on working with adults early/mid in their career who would describe themselves as high-performing, ambitious, and even perfectionistic. I want to support you with building a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself so that you can continue doing what you love without sacrificing your values. My approach is interactive, feeling-forward, and collaborative. My goal is to create as much space as possible so that, for one hour a week, you can talk about how you're really feeling. The therapy process is hard work but I'll be there with you the entire way through. I can't wait to meet you.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you wondering how to "balance it all" and be organized? Do you want to feel more confident, less anxious, or happier? Then therapy with me may help you live your life to the fullest. For over a decade, I have helped clients like you understand these questions and learn the skills to be more successful. I offer person-centered, growth-focused, judgment-free, and trauma-informed treatment in both in-person (close to Washington Heights subways) and convenient online sessions. In treatment with me, you can expect a comfortable and supportive environment to learn about yourself and grow. While all treatment is individualized based on the client's needs, we will help you better understand yourself and your partners and learn new skills to live your desired life. The most important factor when selecting a new therapist is a good fit. You should feel seen, heard, and supported to grow and change. Contact me to schedule a brief consultation to see if I am a good fit for you.

Specialties: General Mental Health, Depression, Anxiety, LGBTQIA+, Grief and Loss, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) We care deeply about the wellbeing of our clients. Each clinician is trained in both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches, so we use an integrative approach specially tailored to each client. It is important to understand the past to change the present, but our focus always starts on immediate symptom relief.

We believe that we each have the capacity to heal and, as your therapist, we are here to support you on your journey.
College is a time of enormous adjustments, especially for students who identify as LGBTQIA+. Alongside the pressures to be successful academically, there are numerous personal challenges to navigate in terms of sex and sexuality, relationships, identity, social communities, and drug and alcohol use. In my work with queer college students, we take the time to understand the unique challenges of this time for you in particular, and I work to cultivate your abilities to meet these challenges with resourcefulness and creativity. We also work to bring you into greater awareness of the unconscious features of your mind, in order to know yourself better and to resolve deep-rooted conflicts.
My purpose is to ultimately help my clients achieve the goals they wish to accomplish. I offer a safe, empathetic and a warm environment. I use interventions that offer not only symptom relief, but also a means to improve emotional connections to the individual and others. I have experience in treating LGBTQIA populations, depression, sexual challenges, anxiety disorders, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, chronic pain, chronic illness, disabilities, and disease. As a dedicated psychotherapist, certified substance abuse counselor, and certified sex and couple’s therapist, I use holistic approaches where I treat the whole person and not just the symptoms. Clients who are in non-monogamous, swingers, polyamorous, and/or kink relationships are welcomed.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a blend of modalities, each chosen to uniquely address the emotional, psychological, and situational needs of my clients. Grounded in a foundation of compassion and empathy, I strive to meet my clients exactly where they are in their life’s journey. This personalized approach allows us to foster a supportive and open environment, where clients can safely express themselves, explore deep-seated emotions, and engage in reflective conversations about navigating the complexities of life’s challenges. It is my goal to create a safe space that promotes personal exploration, growth, and healing. I specialize in working with young adult women and members of the BIPOC community, navigating anxiety, depression, significant life transitions such as education, career shifts, and relationship building. My practice focuses on addressing interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and life stresses, offering tailored strategies to enhance resilience and well-being. Collaboration is key in my therapeutic practice. By working closely with my clients, I empower them to actively engage in their healing journey, fostering personal growth and building resilience. If you are seeking support to navigate personal or emotional challenges, I invite you to reach out and start this journey together.

Psychotherapy is your time to grow and heal. When we struggle with different aspects of our lives it can help to talk and be listened to. I have great respect for my clients and want to help you try to achieve a more satisfying and fulfilling life. Take this time to truly get to know yourself. I am a queer feminist therapist who is body positive, sex-positive, anti-diet and HAES aligned, and I am committed to anti-racist work. My office is a safe and inclusive place for all.
My philosophy of therapy is collaborative and holistic, and I aim to meet my clients where they’re at to inspire change. I am most passionate about working with queer people who have difficulty being fully authentic. We can work together to dismantle the stories and systems that have impacted this and cultivate greater self-compassion and self-awareness in who you are. In therapy with me, my clients feel seen and encouraged to show up as their authentic selves. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my expertise is in relationships and seeing things through a systemic lens. I have experience working with folks with anxiety or depression that can interrupt their ability to live a full life, sometimes facing unsteady relationships and hoping for more security. Together, we can work to make sense of difficult relationships, own and advocate for your feelings and needs in relationships, and identify and set boundaries with others. My experience is in working with teens and adults in the context of individual, couples, or family therapy.
