Janet LeMoal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CASAC (NYS)
For queer people, people of color, and women, these are frightening times. Are you feeling angry or overwhelmed by the ongoing efforts to roll back our human rights? This kind of stress can fuel negative self-talk, depression, anxiety, and increased substance use. I won’t dismiss your worries. I’m here for the hard conversations.
I believe in person-centered therapy. My approach is diverse, eclectic, and sometimes irreverent—but always collaborative.

Dr. Erica Gardner-Schuster
Psychologist, PhD
My ongoing online interpersonal process psychotherapy groups offer safe, supportive spaces for adults to find more fulfilling connection in their lives. Group focuses on practicing emotional honesty, authentic relating, and processing life stressors and mental health struggles with a therapeutic community of fellow travelers. An attachment and trauma-informed group approach focuses on gaining insight into interpersonal patterns in order to transcend loneliness and overcome obstacles to emotional closeness, belonging, and love. Group members support one another in transcending loneliness and suffering to create the life they want to be living and the relationships that sustain them.

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).

Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Relationships break down in specific ways. Betrayal. Walls that went up so slowly you didn't notice until you were already strangers. Sexual disconnection that nobody knows how to talk about. A rupture that left you wondering whether repair is even possible. If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. This is a space built for exactly those conversations, the ones that feel too raw, too shameful, or too complicated to have anywhere else. Warm, judgment-free, and focused on helping you get somewhere real.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Online therapy isn't a compromise. For the kind of work I do, it's often the better choice. When you're talking about the most personal parts of your life, desire, intimacy, identity, relationship dynamics, being in your own space matters. You're more comfortable, more yourself, and often more open than you'd be in a waiting room and an unfamiliar office. That's not a small thing. It's actually the whole thing.
I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual concerns, intimacy issues, desire mismatches, and relational disconnection across New York, Connecticut, and Michigan. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I bring genuine curiosity and deep clinical training to every session. Nothing you bring here will shock me or get pathologized.
Sessions are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and available within about a week of reaching out.

Dr. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
After decades of providing psychotherapy and assessment in offices, I’ve moved recently (2019) into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too. Save yourself a trip away from work or home!

Hi everyone and welcome to my page. As your therapist, I will be a kind and empathic listener and strive to meet you where you are. Together, we will explore your inner world, look at patterns in behavior and relationships, make connections between past and present, and help you to step into a happy and productive future. My work is based on the psychodynamic model, but I also incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Bowen Theory into my work with individuals.

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.
