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).

City Mental Health Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
As a licensed therapist and passionate advocate for mental health equity, I founded CMHC with a clear mission: to create an affirming, inclusive, and culturally diverse space where LGBTQ+ individuals and people from all backgrounds can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My journey into therapy was shaped by both personal experience and a professional calling—recognizing the deep need for compassionate, identity-affirming care in communities that have too often been marginalized or overlooked.

Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change.
