Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a therapist who sees a wide variety of clients with different backgrounds, religions, and cultures, sexual orientation and gender identity aligns with my expansive view of the world. I am interested in people with all different backgrounds and the LGBTQ+ community is no different for me in this respect. I hope to help this client understand themselves, have self-compassion and move forward in their lives and support them on this path.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
As a queer, nonbinary woman myself, I greatly enjoy supporting other members of the LGBTQIA+ community in exploring their sexual orientation and gender identity, navigating the process of coming out, and building relationships with people who are accepting and affirming of them. I have experience co-facilitating a therapy group for trans individuals as well as supporting those who are pursuing gender affirming medical care. I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ folks who are working to build their families.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for individuals of all identities and orientations. I understand how personal and sometimes complicated the journey of self-discovery can be—especially when it comes to navigating gender identity, sexual orientation, and the coming out process.
Many LGBTQ+ individuals grow up in environments where their identities may not have been fully accepted, understood, or affirmed. This can lead to feelings of shame, anxiety, isolation, or internal conflict. It can also make typical developmental milestones—like forming relationships, building self-esteem, or setting boundaries—feel even more challenging.
In our work together, I honor the unique experiences that shape you. Whether you’re exploring your identity, facing challenges related to coming out, navigating family dynamics, or simply wanting to feel more at home in yourself, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward.
We’ll move at your pace, uncover the patterns that may be holding you back, and build tools for resilience, connection, and self-acceptance. You deserve to live a life where you feel seen, understood, and supported just as you are.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring incredible strength and resilience—but it can also come with unique challenges. Even as acceptance grows, discrimination, judgment, and pressure to conform still impact daily life and mental health.
Whether you’re coming out, exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating family dynamics, considering non-monogamy, raising children, or aging in a world that doesn’t always understand—you're not alone. These experiences can bring up anxiety, depression, shame, or isolation, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
Therapy offers a space to talk openly about identity, sex, relationships, and health—including informed sexual decision-making and options like PrEP—without fear of judgment.
You deserve affirming care that respects who you are and supports where you want to go. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with your values.

Institute for Personal Growth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Founded in 1983 as a primarily LGBTQ+-focused practice, we are proudly LGBTQ+-owned. Many of our therapists are members of the LGBTQ+ community themselves, and all are affirming and supportive. Several specialize in working with transgender and gender non-conforming clients, as well as other sexual minorities, including members of the BDSM, kink, and polyamory communities."

Ricardo Despradel
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC,LPC
As a gay cis-male Latino therapist, my commitment to LGBTQIA+-affirming care is both personal and clinical. I understand that identity including sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and culture doesn't exist in a vacuum separate from mental health. The effects of minority stress, discrimination, family rejection, and systemic barriers are real, and they shape the way people experience anxiety, OCD, and disordered eating in ways that a culturally unaware therapist can miss. I strive to create a space where LGBTQIA+ individuals and people from historically marginalized communities can show up fully, without having to educate their therapist or shrink themselves to be understood. My goal is affirming care that is also genuinely effective where identity is respected and evidence-based treatment still leads the way.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
As a queer, nonbinary individual, I have a soft spot for the LGBTQ++ community and about half my clients identify as sexual or gender diverse. As a university professor, I enjoy working within a professional setting to show students that you can be accepted, celebrated, successful, etc. as a queer and gender nonconforming professional.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Sexual orientation and gender identity development are my areas of focus, and we use this space to make sure all intersecting identities (e.g., racial, religious, political, national) are considered as you find your authentic path in the world. This space is one where we can focus on your sexual orientation and/or gender identity development, or use these identities as a source of context to our work. In addition, I work with many trans*, non-binary, gender nonconforming, gender fluid, and other gender expansive folx as they embark on their path of congruence. In addition, I write letters of support for gender affirming surgeries/medical procedures.

Janet LeMoal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CASAC (NYS)
Our country is rolling back equal rights for the Queer community, and dealing with the emotions that come with that can be scary and overwhelming. In therapy with me, we can talk through the challenges of living in a world that often feels unsafe or unaccepting. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore your identity, feel seen and validated, and build the resilience you need to navigate external pressures. My goal is to help you feel empowered, affirmed, and grounded—no matter what’s happening around you.

As an LGBTQ+ affirming practice, we don't just accept queer and trans identities—we understand the specific challenges that come with them. Coming out, navigating family rejection, building chosen family, managing minority stress, exploring gender identity, and finding authentic relationships all require space to process without having to educate your therapist.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
For LGBTQ+ clients, therapy with me is an affirming space to explore identity, relationships, family, faith, and safety without having to educate your therapist.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I was among the first psychologists to volunteer to counsel with people with AIDS beginning in 1986. In addition, my years of collaboration with people of all sexualities and gender identities have encouraged me to strongly view all sexualities as equally valid. However, I also understand that one's sexual and gender role plays a major role in the therapeutic process. I understand and have conducted research on the unique therapeutic needs of people with sexualities that are often marginalized.
