Non-Binary Therapists in Bronx, NY

Taking the steps to reach out and start therapy takes courage, which has the potential to transform your life. I believe therapy is a profoundly unique space where you have the opportunity to connect, feel deeply listened to and understood, and have another human show up for you emotionally and empathically. In our work, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, learn to listen and trust your intuition, address patterns in your life, learn tools to self-actualize and sustain your goals, and ultimately, create a more peaceful and fulfilling life unique to you. All of you is welcome here.

Are you exploring your relationship to gender, sexuality, or ways of being in relationship to yourself and others? Do you find yourself feeling disconnected or “othered” by your unique ways of, and desire to, show up or engage in this world? Are you interested in feeling more attuned to your unique body-mind and embodying a more genuine, compassionate, and authentic self? If you answered yes to any of those questions, we may work really well together! My name is Meredith and I am a queer, nonbinary, and neurodivergent therapist.

Aviva works with clients to foster and establish a trusting and safe environment in order to have an honest exploration of feelings and experiences. Aviva uses psychodynamic and relational approaches to explore the unique experiences of each person.

We are all capable of achieving positive change. My goal as a therapist is to create space for reflection, connection, and expression in order to pursue sustained well-being. I work collaboratively to help individuals & couples tell their stories and develop agency in shifting unhelpful narratives. I offer therapy to adults around topics including sex, intimacy, relationships, gender & sexuality issues, identity, anxiety, depression and more. I have experience working with diverse communities as a as both a clinician and community organizer. My therapeutic practice is grounded in the contexts of social justice and equity.

I approach therapy using psychodynamic and feminist lenses. I believe that therapy is most effective and meaningful when done collaboratively and hope to work together to understand how your past relationships and experiences shape who you are today. In particular, I wish to explore how your past influences your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - all within your sociopolitical context. I tend to be the best fit for those looking to challenge themselves and be challenged in therapy.

I approach all my clients with empathy, understanding, and encouragement. I view therapy as a collaborative effort, our relationship and trust will help facilitate the change you envision within your life. We will work together on exploring behavioral patterns, emotions, and thoughts.

I believe that genuine relationships have the power to heal. And the relationship between a client and therapist is a particularly unique bond. Irvin Yalom has described this relationship as one of 'fellow travelers' on an adventure of mutual growth and discovery. As your fellow traveler, I’ll stand alongside you as an active collaborator on your journey. My hope is that together we can uncover the most expansive and alive version of yourself. Together we will create a space where all parts of you are welcome. As women and queer people, we’re often conditioned to think there are fragments of ourselves that must remain hidden.

As a clinician, my practice is rooted in behavioral, psychodynamic, existential, and experiential approaches. I have extensive clinical experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community and people of diverse backgrounds who are grappling with identity or relationship issues of many kinds. My style is warm, inquisitive, empathic, and versatile to fit my clients’ unique needs. My strengths lie in synthesizing complex problems and breaking them down into smaller tangible steps. I use psychodrama— a tool for bringing therapy into action, with spontaneity, creativity, and humor.

I am a Queer-identified therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse Transgender, Queer, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Gay identified individuals. My style is warm, active, and authentic. Starting therapy is hard, so my priority in early sessions is for you to feel relaxed, understood, and comfortable. Your laughter and questions are welcomed. With a background in LGBTQ+ public health, I am sensitive to the challenges and stressors that come with living outside cisgender/hetero norms. I also value subjugated knowledge​ - the wisdom we possess from not fitting into the dominant culture.

If the weight of existence is just too heavy right now, I'll help you carry it until you're okay. Let's talk about what you need and how we can get it for you. Our access to the tools of therapy and other helpful fields is endless and we’ll collaborate on choosing our favorites as we explore your past, present, and future. I'm a listener, a guide, a friend, an artist, and I can be a helpful space for you. I'll try really hard to be aware and sensitive to your full humanness. If you'd like to improve how you feel, relate, consume, move, create, and self-advocate, then we could be a great fit for each other and I hope you reach out.

In a world of often overwhelming expectations and negative messages about who we are or who we can be, it is not unusual to become depressed, anxious, or disconnected. We can become traumatized by major life events or even the repeated exposure to discrimination or silencing of our voices and senses of worth. Therapy offers a space to slow down and come further into the wisdom of our present awareness. I work well with people who want to deepen their insight into themselves and what causes them pain or gets in their way--as well as what brings meaning, joy, and healing.
