Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
I provide therapy for gay men and hold licenses in New Jersey, New York, and Utah. Many gay men worry that a therapist might not fully understand their experiences or that they’ll have to hide parts of themselves in session. I once shared those same concerns, and they’re what inspired me to become a therapist who offers affirming, authentic care. Together, we’ll create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can find clarity, growth, and the confidence to live more fully.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trained at Columbia University, with additional certification as a sex therapist through AASECT and advanced relationship training from The Couples Institute. Over the past two decades, I’ve supported gay men in a variety of settings—including the NYC LGBT Community Center and Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC).

Niloofar Alishahi - Creative Arts Therapy and Coaching
Art Therapist, LCAT, ATR-BC
You are creative, intelligent, and curious, but feel like you have been left to figure life out on your own. You feel like the odd one, the black sheep, and that something is inherently wrong with you. This holds you back from being fully yourself.
You hid parts of yourself in different relationships. It feels like you have been doing everything in your power, but you still feel lost and confused.
You've been struggling to achieve things that seem to come quickly to others, leading to feelings of exhaustion, depression, and constant anxiety.
You don't have to figure it out alone. We will work together to find what feels suitable for you. As a first-generation Iranian-American, queer feminist and creative arts therapist, I bring my lived experience, creativity, and playfulness, as well as my training into our work, weaving together talk therapy, somatics, and the arts
We can help you better understand who you are today and who you want to be in the future. I enjoy working with creative and expressive individuals who are motivated and willing to work on themselves. If this sounds like you, call or email me to schedule a free 15-minute call!

Karen Bisignano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
After trauma, healing begins with understanding your experience. Trauma isn't just the event; it's the inability to make sense of what happened, often leaving you stuck in repetitive, unhealthy relationships. Whether or not you recognize childhood abuse or neglect, its effects show up subtly. You found a way to survive an absent, rigid, or abusive dynamic, but everyday life can still trigger those old wounds. You might feel a loss of control, carry deep self-doubt, or constantly put others first to your own detriment. If you are wondering how to help yourself and take the next step, you do not have to navigate this alone.
It takes immense courage to seek therapy when carrying trauma or pain. You do not have to carry it alone anymore. In our sessions—using EMDR with other modalities, we will work as a collaborative team at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. You are always the driver here. Together, we will build the lasting tools you need to reclaim your life.
I know how scary reaching out is—I've been in your shoes. Years ago, navigating trauma, divorce, and family hardships, I resisted restarting therapy. But taking that leap helped me rebuild an empowered version of myself. You deserve to feel lighter and in control again, too. Contact me today and lets see if we're a good fit.

Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Online therapy offers the same quality care as in-person sessions with added flexibility and accessibility. For many clients, the comfort of their own space makes it easier to open up about difficult topics—things that might feel harder to say face-to-face can sometimes flow more freely from the privacy of home. Whether you're managing a demanding schedule, living in an area without nearby providers, or simply prefer the convenience of teletherapy, our secure video sessions allow you to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from wherever you are. We serve clients throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York, bringing experienced, affirming care directly to you.

Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Experienced culturally-informed individual/couples therapist, supervisor and training analyst. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck — in relationships that don't work, careers that feel hollow, or patterns they can't seem to escape no matter how hard they try. As a Licensed Psychoanalyst with over 15 years of experience, I offer a different kind of therapy: one that goes beneath the surface to understand the unconscious forces that shape your choices and experiences.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what life throws your way, and why certain patterns keep repeating — and what you can do to change them. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately.

Neha Chawla
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, LP, FIPA
I offer a free initial consultation for you to decide if remote therapy could work for you. I believe that it is very much possible for online sessions to be highly attuned, connected, deeply insight oriented and productive depending on the therapist's training. I invite you to try it out, at no cost to you.
I offer video/remote sessions to those working from home, within the hybrid model or for convenience to support time efficiency and productivity. Remote sessions can also support individuals who are still being protective of their health because they may be immuno-compromised, disabled, have long Covid, are suffering from other chronic/terminal illnesses or any limiting symptoms. Finally, remote sessions could also work better for individuals who may be feeling too depressed or withdrawn, those experiencing social anxiety, generalized anxiety, PTSD, ASD and find the outside world far too over-stimulating or unsafe at this time.
