Mike Cotayo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Looking for a Sex-Positive Therapist Who Gets It? Here I am! 🙂 Hello there! I’m Mike Cotayo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s complexities. I earned my MSW from NYU in 2000, and in 2007, I embarked on a transformative journey to become a Gestalt Therapist, further refining my skills to provide compassionate, effective care. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I bring a unique perspective to my work, specializing in sexuality, relationships, and identity. My practice is rooted in a commitment to embracing diverse lifestyles and choices.
Whether you're exploring kink, polyamory, or the intersection of disability and sexuality (a focus of my Ph.D. research), I’m here to support you with empathy, humor, and zero judgment. Laughter can be a powerful tool for healing. I believe every session should be a safe space where you can be yourself and even find moments of lightness on your journey.
Let’s work together to create a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and uniquely yours. Ready to take the first step? Reach out today—I’d love to help! Licensed in AZ, CT, NJ, NY.

Andy Lapides
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, BCD
I am an experienced psychotherapist who has been practicing in the field for over twenty years, fifteen years in private practice. I see clients in New Jersey and New York state. I have advanced, post-graduate training in gestalt therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am genuine, funny, intelligent, sensitive, warm, and I can also be firm/direct depending on the need of the client. Sometimes we need different things in the work.. it takes an experienced, intuitive therapist to help us to really get to the heart of what we need to grow. I have helped many clients through quite challenging things in their lives.
Maybe you are facing something difficult, feel down, worried, overwhelmed, not getting what you want in your relationships, confused about who you are, or don't feel confident in yourself. Either way, I welcome you. Please email me or call. Therapy is a wonderful process and it's worth taking the risk of calling. Making that call is the first step.

Sarah Nehdi, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you're overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference.
I know taking the first step to find a therapist isn't easy and I don't take that show of strength lightly! With my (attempted) sense of humor and deep respect for my clients, I hope to create a welcoming space where you can embrace who you are right now and then find ways to transform your life to reflect your best self.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Therapy with me is active, engaging, and thought-provoking. I will encourage you to explore and help you to change how you relate to your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and beliefs in an environment where you feel safe to be yourself and where you feel heard and accepted. I work with people who seek deeper meaning in their lives, greater understanding of themselves, and who are interested in “leaving no stone unturned” in the search for greater self-understanding and self-acceptance. Doing the hard work of therapy takes courage, commitment, and time. But it is worth it and the changes you seek in your life are possible.
You will find me to have a calming and approachable demeanor, and to be caring and easy to talk to. I draw from many schools of thought, but my goal is always to foster awareness and curiosity about your experiences of life, and to give you tools to help you overcome the obstacles you face so you can create a life you enjoy living.
When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out by email or phone to book an initial consultation where we'll talk about you and your goals and how I can help. I’m looking forward to meeting you and talking with you.
