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.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
I am a proud member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ clients, particularly gay, bisexual, and/or queer men. My specialities include helping individuals overcome internalized homophobia or transphobia and working with clients to cope with coming out issues or experiences of prejudice or discrimination. In addition to adult individual therapy, I provide evaluations and referral letters for gender-affirming care.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Everyone has the right to be able to be who they are, to love whom they love, and to be understood. Most of the work I do in the LGBTQ space is in couples therapy. I am able to approach the unique nuances and challenges that LGBTQ couples may face, allowing me to deliver the best therapy results for each & every client. I have many family members who identify within the LGBTQ community.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!
