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).

When Understanding Yourself Isn't Enough
There is a particular kind of stuck that therapy books don't prepare you for. You've done the reflecting. You understand your patterns. And still, the same things keep happening — the same anxiety, the same relationship dynamics, the same feeling that something just won't shift.
That gap between understanding yourself and actually changing is real, and it's not a character flaw. It's where the real work begins.
What We Work On
As a licensed clinical social worker in Manhattan, New York, working with adults navigating:
Trauma and PTSD
Depression and anxiety
Relationship patterns that have resisted change
Borderline personality and emotional dysregulation
Codependency and attachment wounds
How We Work
Treatment centers on EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — two approaches that work at the level where insight alone doesn't reach. Not just the thinking mind, but the nervous system, the body, the parts of you still braced for something that already happened.
What to Expect
People who find their way here tend to be perceptive, self-aware, and genuinely motivated — and still struggling. Sessions are direct, warm, and honest. Nothing you bring will be too much. Nothing will shock me.
Getting Started
Located in Stuyvesant Town, lower Manhattan. Virtual sessions available throughout New York State. Fee is $250 per session, with a free 15-minute consultation to start.

Lauren Bradley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My mission is to bring ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach, where comfort and insight go hand in hand. Clients can look forward to several key benefits from our sessions, including Enhanced Self-Understanding, Coping Strategies, Personal Growth, Increased Emotional Well-being and Insight.
I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout. Together, we’ll work on building the tools and insights you need to achieve greater mental and emotional well-being.
I take a very participatory approach in sessions. While I provide a space for clients to express themselves freely, I also actively engage in the conversation, offering insights, feedback, and guidance. I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and foster growth.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.

Staci Des Rault
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. M.Div
Insight alone does not create change, but without it, we're just bumping around in the dark. If you choose to work with me, we will work on both developing insight and self-awareness, as well as behavioral and emotional change. My style is warm and supportive, but I won't shy away from offering constructive feedback if you are open to it. My areas of expertise include helping people recover from alcohol/substance use issues, trauma, family of origin issues, spiritual abuse and religious trauma/deconstruction, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD management, and stages of life transitions.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
Even though sessions are virtual, I deeply value creating a genuine therapeutic connection and relationship with each client. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable or intimidating, and I strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and human from the very beginning. Building trust and helping clients feel truly seen and understood is at the core of my work. I’m proud that many of my clients choose to continue working with me long term, which I believe reflects the strength of the relationships we build together and the sense of safety and consistency they experience in therapy.

My role is to listen with you as you discern your own internal wisdom and path. My lifelong work of spiritual formation and soul care is informed by Internal Family Systems and supports a contemplative evocative compassionate listening stance. I practice as a "Spiritual Director," however that label can be misleading and better described as a Spiritual Companion who walks with you along your journey.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
As a therapist who works virtually, I've seen firsthand how removing the barrier of travel and waiting rooms creates space for more meaningful and authentic work. Clients show up while they're in the comfort of their own environments, reducing masking and other barriers to authenticity. For the clients I'm most passionate about working with, the flexibility of virtual care is a necessity. Virtual therapy allows me to meet people where they are both literally and figuratively.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for clients who prefer the flexibility and comfort of meeting from home or another private space. Sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant video platform and are designed to feel as thoughtful, engaged, and attuned as in-person work. Online therapy can be a convenient option for busy schedules, travel, or when access to in-person care is limited, while still allowing for meaningful, consistent progress.
