LGBT therapists in New York

Hello and welcome. I’m Genevieve Clineman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, and person-centered therapy to help clients develop coping skills, improve emotional wellness, build confidence, and create lasting change. Together, we work toward greater balance, clarity, resilience, and healthier relationships.

Long lasting change comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves. It can be incredibly challenging to focus on our own emotional life and internal experience. I provide a warm, supportive space to explore and process whatever is on your mind. I have extensive experience engaging in psychotherapy with adults facing a wide range of life experiences, from managing depression, to adapting to major life changes, to facing grief after loss of a loved one.

My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:

• healing painful patterns
• building healthier relationships
• processing grief & loss
• navigating chronic illness/stress
• working through difficult family dynamics
• unmasking
• connecting with their identity
• exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma

I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.

Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

**Only taking individual clients now. No couples till the fall.

Hi, I am a Licensed, Board-Certified Therapist providing psychotherapy services to clients in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Virginia. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, addiction, anger, relationship challenges, and a wide range of other mental health concerns.

As a member of and advocate for the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, I strive to provide affirming, culturally responsive, and inclusive care. I am also a certified Gottman Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (7P's) Couples Workshop Leader, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and build healthier relationships.

In addition to providing therapy, I offer professional clinical supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor Limited Permit (LMHC-LP) professionals, supporting their growth and development in clinical practice.

Believing you are the expert in your life my hope is to act as a beacon of light on a path that sometimes goes dark.

I am dedicated to creating a safe space so that you can explore challenges and learn new skills. I believe in being consistent and transparent, so that you know what to expect in our meetings.

I have been practicing as a Social Worker for over 38 years. I have a lot of experience in the areas of behavioral health services which includes a host of treatment focus areas and chemical dependency. I am energetic and enthusiastic about my work with clients. I am currently accepting new clients at this time. I like to incorporate in my work with clients self expression and self exploration. Outside of my work I love to engage in dance therapy, exercise for fitness, reading and sewing.

I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW based in Queens, NY, and I work with teens and adults who are navigating trauma, domestic violence recovery, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. Before private practice, I spent six years working inside the New York City public health system - most recently providing therapy to survivors of domestic violence as they rebuilt their lives after leaving dangerous situations. As a bilingual, multicultural therapist, I understand what it's like to move between languages, cultures, and expectations. I know firsthand what it's like to hold more than one world at once — and I bring that understanding into every session. I work with many clients for whom finding a Spanish-speaking therapist felt impossible before. I take insurance because I believe quality mental health care shouldn't depend on how much you earn. I see clients ages 10 and up. I offer all sessions online, so you can access support from anywhere in New York state.

Hi, I’m Thomas—Tom works too! My goal is to help you overcome life’s challenges and reconnect with your most authentic self. Are you struggling to feel fulfilled, create meaningful connections, or adjust to life transitions? Is it difficult to overcome the stress, anxiety, and sadness you might be experiencing? These struggles are hard to face alone—but you don’t have to anymore. I’m here to help. Let's work together to find your inner strength, wisdom, and healing to create lasting change.

Hello! I am so happy to introduce myself to you. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I love being a therapist because I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I’m a firm believer in treating the person in front of me, not the diagnosis or code. I don’t believe in seeing someone as their struggle. I help people cope with their symptoms or challenges and to become the best version of themselves. I use many therapeutic frameworks to accomplish this. I never follow one framework only. That shortchanges the opportunities for improvement to me.
