Ren Lee

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a queer and trans clinician, I know how important it is to work with someone who understand what it's like, without needing to explain your lived experiences. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ clients and offer letters of support for trans clients seeking gender-affirming healthcare.

Manhattan, New York therapist: Dr. Lois Horowitz, licensed clinical social worker
LGBTQ+

Dr. Lois Horowitz

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for individuals of all identities and orientations. I understand how personal and sometimes complicated the journey of self-discovery can be—especially when it comes to navigating gender identity, sexual orientation, and the coming out process. Many LGBTQ+ individuals grow up in environments where their identities may not have been fully accepted, understood, or affirmed. This can lead to feelings of shame, anxiety, isolation, or internal conflict. It can also make typical developmental milestones—like forming relationships, building self-esteem, or setting boundaries—feel even more challenging. In our work together, I honor the unique experiences that shape you. Whether you’re exploring your identity, facing challenges related to coming out, navigating family dynamics, or simply wanting to feel more at home in yourself, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. We’ll move at your pace, uncover the patterns that may be holding you back, and build tools for resilience, connection, and self-acceptance. You deserve to live a life where you feel seen, understood, and supported just as you are. Please visit my website lhorowitz.com to learn more about me.

Joseph W. LaFleur

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
As an LGBTQ+ affirming practice, we don't just accept queer and trans identities—we understand the specific challenges that come with them. Coming out, navigating family rejection, building chosen family, managing minority stress, exploring gender identity, and finding authentic relationships all require space to process without having to educate your therapist. Our clinicians bring both professional training and lived experience to this work, creating a space where you can explore who you are without justification or explanation.
