Hi! My name is Siah, I am a transfem LCSW who uses they/them pronouns. I have experience working with folks from a multitude of backgrounds since 2015. I have worked with concerns related to trauma, grief/bereavement, anxiety and depression. I live in Brooklyn and have a fluffy cat named Marcy.
I bring warmth, empathy, extensive experience and passion to my work as a clinician. I am a seasoned therapist working in the field for over 20 years. My priority in working with you is to create a safe space for expression and inter-personal growth. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration in working towards each individual's goals.
I am Anna Rozengauz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience
helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and the kind of life transitions that
leave you feeling stuck or uncertain about what comes next. I work with people who are
often high-functioning on the outside but privately exhausted — people who want to
feel more in control of their emotions and more at ease in their own lives. I offer
sessions in both English and Russian, and I work with many clients from Eastern
European and immigrant backgrounds who want a therapist who understands their
cultural frame of reference as much as their symptoms.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Brooklyn
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Brooklyn starts with finding identity-affirming care. A strong match may have experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender exploration, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, or family dynamics. Look for therapists who mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or LGBTQIA+ populations in their profiles. These details can help you find someone whose listed training and specialties match what you want to discuss in care.
Brooklyn has many mental health care options, but affirming therapists with the right availability, location, and insurance fit may take time to sort through. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond the nearest office while still giving you access to therapists licensed in New York. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Reading bios can also help you understand communication style, identity-affirming experience, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that step clearer by showing LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
