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.
NYU Graduate and Post- Graduate Clinical Professor
Director of the Post- MAster's Program in Addictions- NYU
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.
In addition to being a LMHC in the state of NY, I'm also just a human gal navigating life alongside 2 doodles and a cat; creating and interacting with nature plays an important role in my life, but before you think I'm just a calm collected artist haunting the woods mysteriously, I'm also known for sitting on a comfy chair for way too long, re-watching the same shows from the early 2000s, and collecting copious amounts of craft and art supplies that I swear I will use someday.

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.
