I'm a seasoned clinician who has supervised graduate-level Psychology and Mental Health Counseling students from Universities on Long Island and NYC.

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.

Hi, my name is Dr. Mark Aghakhan and I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in a variety of therapeutic, educative, consultative, and evaluative services. I utilize interventions that best match my client’s style and approach toward everyday challenges.
My aim is to create a warm, judgement free, safe space for you to understand yourself better. I see therapy as a journey between two people. At times the journey can feel daunting, overwhelming, and challenging, and I am here to help make the burden a little easier to bear. I work with individuals of all backgrounds and of various ages, coping with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship struggles, work stress, stage of life transitions, and more. I have been on my own therapy journey too, so I understand what it is like to be on the "other side" of the room. I aim to use my own experience in therapy to bring empathy and compassion to your therapy journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Yonkers
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Yonkers starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, or stress related to major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct work with LGBTQIA+ communities. These signals can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match the care you want.
Yonkers has access to local therapists, while nearby parts of Westchester County and New York City can add more options. Still, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited in some areas, so virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices close to home. You may also want to compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can show how each person describes their style, communication, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients.
Therapy in Yonkers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer clear availability. You can browse LGBTQIA+ therapists in Yonkers, review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
