Were asked all the time — how would someone find an LGBTQ-affirming therapist? Are you looking for a therapist or counselor in the New York area that specializes in LGBTQ issues, a practitioner sensitive to the social stigma that LGBTQ people face, such as homophobia, transphobia, and the coming-out process? Whether you’re seeking a specialist in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), couples therapy, addiction, or simply someone with whom you can discuss depression and anxiety, we've got some suggestions.

Campbell, LCSW 80 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10011 With an emphasis on acknowledging intersecting and multiple aspects of identity, I am here to help you to explore and address concerns related to: Depression and Sadness Anxieties and Fears Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence Sexuality and Sexual Health Grief and Loss Self-Identity Major Life Changes Relationships and Communication We all struggle to integrate intersecting, multiple, and sometimes seemingly contradictory aspects of our identities. Some examples of these include sexuality and sexual expression, gender identity and gender expression, queer identity, race and ethnicity, privilege, class, faith, and family. Part of what makes us human is the ongoing challenge of reconciling powerful societal influences and expectations with our internal psychic experiences and self-images. My role is to help you find the balance and the solutions that make sense for your lived experience, in an open, nonjudgmental, curious space. And though change is often what people are seeking when they enter therapy, acceptance is often an unexpected but welcomed discovery along the way. Learn more about Robert Brian M. Lathrop Div., L.P. 31 Washington Sq. W Suite 6C New York, NY 10011 Psychotherapy is a unique and personal engagement that aims to give a person the brave option to not just accept life on the terms it seems to have handed them. For over 20 years, I have worked to assist others to be able to name, focus on and change numerous dilemmas of life. Among those dilemmas: substance and behavioral addictions, childhood and sexual trauma and/or neglect, compulsivity and impulsivity issues, depression, anxiety, relationship strife, grief/loss, internalized fear of intimacy, sexual dysfunction, and emotional communication for individuals and couples. A consult may require more than one session to determine needs. If the need for therapy is determined and there is an agreement to work together, frequency of sessions will be discussed and session times will be determined.
