Leigha Rogers

Therapist

Virtual • Fayetteville, NY


I believe therapy should be both a safe place to land and a space that inspires meaningful change. As an art and talk therapist, I offer a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, emotions, and patterns with honesty and curiosity.

I integrate creative expression with traditional psychotherapy, recognizing that sometimes words alone are not enough. Through art-making, reflection, and conversation, I help clients deepen their self-understanding, process difficult experiences, and connect with strengths they may not yet fully recognize.

David Diaz

David Diaz

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I conduct therapy sessions in both English and Spanish. I have experience working with individuals facing challenges related to depression and/or anxiety, as well as those with a history of self-harm and suicidal ideation. I also work with clients to heal from sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, intergenerational trauma, and racial trauma.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in somatic psychotherapy, which acknowledges the mind-body connection and the ways stress is held in the body. As a first-generation Mexican, I am deeply passionate about supporting BIPOC individuals and those from immigrant families.

Additionally, I have a strong background in working with individuals who engage in problematic sexual behavior, as well as those seeking to address an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and drugs.

I’m Paige Allegra Blayne, a therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, eating disorders, or life transitions, I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Yacine Sylla

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first session. Building trust is important to me, and I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step.

I bring over eight years of experience working in diverse settings, including crisis intervention, child welfare, and substance use treatment. This has allowed me to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges with compassion and flexibility.

My approach is collaborative—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. We will work together to identify your goals and find strategies that feel right for you. I also value cultural sensitivity and take the time to understand your background, identity, and lived experiences as part of the healing process.

I offer services in French and Wolof and welcome clients from all backgrounds. My goal is to support you in building insight, developing practical tools, and creating lasting, meaningful change in your life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
