Hello, I’m Vincent. I am a Licensed Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist (LP) with a private practice in Manhattan, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions. I bring my own lived experiences and cultural attunement into the room to build a deeply trusting and authentic therapeutic alliance with my clients.
When you're constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, or questions about your identity, therapy can help you break free from the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence, and develop practical tools so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of your life.
We can move forward, overcome, learn and grow, seeking peace, balance, happiness. I was a NYS Certified School Psychologist for 16 years, and have 7 years of combined supervised and licensed experience as a Mental Health Counselor. I have several degrees in addition to Mental Health Counseling which broadens my perspectives and experience. I was a Training Consultant for Dale Carnegie Training. I also have a Jack Nash Honors MBA, working in foreign exchange capital markets for several years. Counseling however is my calling, my purpose.

I know well that starting therapy can feel formidable and thoroughly overwhelming, and on occasion, the absolute hardest step of all is merely beginning. In spite of that, you are here, and you are actively setting out on your personal journey to heal and reconstruct. I warmly invite the opportunity to communicate with you and learn how I might best help you. My professional style is kind, deeply empathetic, and shared.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in New York
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in New York starts with finding identity-affirming care that fits your specific needs. Across the state, needs and available therapists can vary between urban and rural areas, so it helps to look for therapists who clearly list experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or gender-diverse care. You may also want support related to identity, relationships, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Reading a therapist’s listed specialties and approach can help you understand whether their background matches the kind of support you want.
From New York City to Buffalo and Albany, access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists can look different depending on where you live. In larger areas, you may have more options to compare; in smaller markets, virtual sessions can expand your search beyond nearby offices. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their background or communication style feels aligned with your preferences. Therapist bios can be especially useful when they mention LGBTQIA+ populations directly, explain what sessions are like, or describe an affirming approach in clear terms.
The cost of mental health care in New York varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and compare virtual and in-person availability. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage based on your location and plan details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
