Bisexual Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Are you a gay, bisexual, or queer-identified man who is feeling overwhelmed by questions around identity, your position or direction in life, or how to form meaningful and fulfilling connections with others? Do you find yourself distracted by racing or intrusive thoughts or struggling to find the motivation to make big life decisions or changes? Are you having issues in your romantic relationship(s) related to communication, intimacy, autonomy? These are the kinds of issues I navigate with my clients every day. I believe the key to overcoming these struggles begins with building a deep and honest understanding of yourself.

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.

Are you moving into a new life chapter where you live authentically & empowered? Are you seeking a space to explore & embrace your needs, desires, boundaries, race, sexuality, gender, and/or cultural background? Are you interested in using psycho-spiritual tools (e.g., tarot, energy work, etc.) to evolve? As a bisexual, Vietnamese-American therapist, my goal is to work with you to fortify your confidence, find meaning in life, & navigate challenges with resilience. Ultimately, in our therapeutic partnership, we will uncover your true Self and create a fulfilling, joyful, & meaningful existence for you to rightfully enjoy.

I specialize in working with creative highly sensitive people who deal with depression and anxiety. Together we will process your experiences, change unhelpful narratives, and develop harmony and balance within yourself. I work as witness in helping you develop a more nuanced inner dialogue to move from a place of confusion and disconnection towards self compassion and healing. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, Sex Positive, Spiritually affirming, and work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, multiculturally sensitive, & intersectional approach towards embodied healing and life empowerment.

Perhaps you are feeling stressed out from relationships, work, or other parts of your life. Or maybe you suffer from ongoing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. As your therapist, I will help you better understand and cope with life's difficulties, as well as move towards the changes you want. Above all, I will provide you with a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere to allow for meaningful learning and change. COVID-19 UPDATE: I am able to meet with you either in-person or remotely by video conference. I am taking new clients and have several days/time available.

My approach to psychotherapy is integrated, drawing from my training in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, trauma-focused CBT, multi-systemic and EMDR models. Whether you are looking for relief from daily stressors, navigating life transitions, or wanting to deepen understanding of yourself and your relationships, I provide a supportive space to guide you through a collaborative, therapeutic process. Using techniques attuned to your unique and specific needs, I will work with you to address difficult emotional and mental health issues, gain insight and awareness, and create the change you need to live a happier, healthier life.

If you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary or questioning, this is the practice for your needs. I am a psychologist who helps you work through thoughts and feelings that are not working for you and develop an action plan to create a life beyond your wildest dreams. I use my skills to help clients feel better so they can choose to make significant changes in their lives. My goals are to remove the obstacles to your accessing your internal power so that you can rewrite your stories, find your voice and live authentically.

Want to feel more confident while learning about yourself? Together, we can navigate your anxiety, depression, feelings of low self-worth, relationship difficulties, questioning identity, life transitions, or anything else you’re experiencing. As a bisexual/queer clinician, I have a focus working with the LGBTQ+ community and welcome adult clients of different experiences.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and find yourself hitting a plateau? Are you experiencing trauma and PTSD due to a break-up, divorce, grief, sexual addiction, infidelity, love addiction, or sexual abuse and wonder if relief will ever be available to you? Perhaps you're curious if the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy could help you find the change you are seeking. If so, you've come to the right place. I specialize in helping people find the breakthroughs they desire through an eclectic approach, including trauma-based therapy, somatic parts work, and psychedelic assisted therapy (currently utilizing ketamine).

My focus is adults who are struggling with a sexual issue. I want to help people of all kinds; people of all genders, people of all races, people of all sexual orientations (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and asexual), people in all kinds of relationships (polyamorous, monogamous) and people with varied ability-levels. I consider myself to be honest, knowledgeable, wise and confident. Additionally, I identify as a deaf Black woman. It should be noted that I lost my hearing as an adult and I wear an implant, thus my communication skills are excellent, and I can hear quite well.

As a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, I am interested in how relationships heal and transform individuals. I work closely with my patients to illuminate areas in which they feel disconnected from others, and then together, we come up with ways to bridge those gaps. I have specialties in work with survivors of incest and sexual abuse, couples counseling and parenting issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer adolescents and adults, as well as experience working with dissociation due to trauma.

We can all live rewarding, empowered lives. As someone with multiple intersecting identities, I understand the horrific effects of trauma, stigma, and mental/emotional health. I seek to establish a comfortable environment in which we can safely ask questions to help you make empowered decisions while we simultaneously investigate questions of meaning. I never require a client ‘prove’ their identity to me.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, who has a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Psychology and Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling. I offer my clients psychotherapy with an integrative approach, utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize a therapeutic plan for every person, group, and couple I work with. I primarily focus on CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, Relational, Psychodynamic, mindfulness, and meditation, but offer other techniques listed below. ​ My own philosophy is based on a holistic approach, so I do not always focus on diagnoses or pathology. However, I do recognize that sometimes it is needed.

"I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood." - Audre Lorde. As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to do this is in a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I work with individuals & couples using a psychodynamic approach. My role is to help you identify your needs and put your inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to your well-being can be lifted.

I work with couples and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ+ identity and experiences. I approach therapy collaboratively, using strengths-based, social-justice-oriented, and solution-focused lenses. In my work with the Queer, I Therapy Center at RCC, I draw on my training in affirming care as well as my own experience as a bisexual, transgender man. With couples, I use Gottman Method relationship techniques to support traditional couples as well as polyamorous relationships.

Depression, anxiety, and existential issues can be debilitating. Through psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, we can work together to understand your issues and ease your suffering and pain.

It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable.

I offer a non-judgmental, compassionate, and encouraging environment to assist LGBTQ BIPOC individuals through whatever difficulties they may be confronting. Together we will collaboratively explore tools and strategies that will help you feel better about yourself, have better relationships, and experience more joy. I am a bilingual, bicultural, queer Afro-Latina cis-woman. In my practice, I bring together evidence-informed techniques and a social justice lens.

Expansive Therapy is a 100% LGBTQ+ owned and focused therapy practice. We wanted to go beyond checking a box for queer affirming therapy to creating a practice that was committed to the community, where queer people could bring their whole selves into therapy. Queer theory asks that we look at the world in a new way, not through a heteronormative lens, but from each individual perspective which is unique and perfect. We are passionate about understanding the unique challenges of our community and helping our queer clients to heal.
