LGBT Issues
New York City Psychotherapy Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
We know that your community is not a monolith and your lived experience will be different from everyone else’s, even where there are similarities. We believe that every letter in the LGBTQIA+ acronym deserves to be heard for its uniqueness. Navigating your identity within the larger context of work, dating, friendships, and every other space you occupy can cause tension in your personal relationships, miscommunications at work, and feelings of not belonging. We understand why members of the LGBTQIA+ community may be experiencing increased levels of anxiety, depression, frustration, and overall hopelessness. Therapy that is specifically tailored to the LGBTQIA+ community by both allies and members of the community will provide a supportive, safe, and inclusive space to be who you are, exactly as you are.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As a member of the LGBT community, and as someone who holds degrees both in psychology and LGBT Health and Policy, I couple an academic understanding of the unique disparities that come with these identities with a profound personal knowledge of them in my own life. Not all patients have had positive experiences with the medical community, so it is my hope that my education and bisexual identity will serve my patients in a way that makes them feel both heard and seen. I also recognize that our identities can be static, or they can be fluid, and that the coming out process isn’t something we do just once: we do it over and over again. I do not personally identify as cisgender, and so I approach the issues facing the transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming communities with deep empathy and personal understanding. From fluidity to transitioning, hormone replacement therapy, to writing letters for surgery, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys. Not everyone experiences their own gender in the same way, so the discussion of gender as a construct and societal gender norms is at the forefront of our discussions in working through the big mess that is gender.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
As a queer therapist, I believe in creating a safe and affirming space where individuals can explore their identity, navigate societal pressures, and address mental health concerns within a relational and psychoanalytic framework. My approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex interplay between individual experiences, relationships, and societal expectations.
By exploring the unconscious dynamics that shape our identities and relationships, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. This may involve examining themes of internalized homophobia, family dynamics, and societal discrimination. Through this process, individuals can develop a stronger sense of self, build healthier relationships, and live more authentic lives.
