Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
The world is changing. At least the part of it that we live in. Some of you may be troubled by the sexual orientation you've come to realize is part of you. It's not bad or good, right or wrong, it's just who you are. There will be people who can't accept that. Possibly your family. Possibly the religion you are or were a part of. But there is every-increasing awareness that being who you are is not an "illness" that needs a cure. It's an acceptable lifestyle (and one you didn't choose - it's in your DNA), and therapy can help you accept yourself, love yourself for who you are, and to deal with those in your life who can't or won't accept you for who you are. Life is still good, and will be better once you work through the issues that stand in your way.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When bias and discrimination are part of a person's problems, I show them how not to anger themselves and then how to address the prejudice and discrimination constructively. In cases where people are shameful about their sexuality, I teach them how to unconditionally accept themselves and never to shame themselves for who they are and what they like both sexually and non-sexually.

Bryan Leach
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The LGBTQ+ community has a long history of navigating and overcoming adversity, including systemic oppression, stigma, discrimination, and violence. I have experience supporting clients across a spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations as they seek to build fulfilling lives in which they live authentically as themselves. Challenges faced by this population may include combatting internalized oppression, exploring sexuality / gender identity, finding belonging and sense of community, coming out, reevaluating relationships with substances, and experimenting with non-traditional relationship structures.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Manhattan is one of the most therapist-dense places in the world, with independent practices concentrated on the Upper West Side, in Chelsea, Midtown, and the East Village, serving an extraordinarily high per-capita demand for mental health care. The borough's concentration of finance, media, law, and healthcare professionals generates consistent demand for therapists experienced with high-stakes careers, perfectionism, and the emotional costs of extreme professional ambition. Manhattan also serves as the entry point for many immigrants from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa, and multilingual therapists make up a significant portion of the local clinical community. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone, and numerous academic training clinics provide institutional anchors and training pipelines for the borough's large private practice ecosystem.
