Welcome to
Queer Therapy Experience
Queerness is a source of wisdom, joy and strength. You deserve to be seen.
A Radical Approach
to Healing
Queer Therapy Experience is a New York-based team of queer and trans psychotherapists providing LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for individuals (youth and adults), couples, multi-partner relationships, and families of all kinds. Rooted in our origins as Queer Therapy NYC, we now offer virtual therapy throughout New York State — including queer and trans adults in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Capital Region, Finger Lakes, and New York City who are looking for gender-affirming therapy, support navigating polyamory or ENM, or a therapist who understands kink and sex work without judgment.
We believe that every queer and trans person deserves a therapist who truly understands their experience — and that such care shouldn’t be limited by geography. If you are a queer or trans person located anywhere in New York State and you’re seeking virtual therapy from a practice that gets it, we would be honored to work with you.
Our practice centers LGBTQIA+ clients, and we specialize in working with alternative sexualities and relationship structures. We are deeply affirming of queer and trans identities, kink and D/s dynamics, sex work, and polyamory or ethical non-monogamy — and we offer dedicated support for trans and nonbinary adults navigating gender transition, at any stage.
We are committed to engaging anti-racist practice and creating spaces rooted in collective liberation, care, and healing. While our team includes clinicians of color, we also recognize a significant presence of whiteness within our group. We reflect on how whiteness shapes our clinical work, relationships, and the broader systems we operate within. We understand that meaningful anti-racist practice requires ongoing accountability, and we strive to show up with humility, curiosity, and a commitment to growth.
Our therapists offer a wide range of modalities and areas of expertise to support your growth and well-being.
Our Roots
You don’t need to live in New York City to access care shaped by its queer history, culture, and brilliance.
Queer Therapy NYC was born in the heart of NYC’s queer and trans community, where many of our clinicians first found language, safety, and belonging. Our practice carries the city’s spirit: vibrant, expansive, and rooted in authenticity — affirming, identity-rooted care shaped by lived experience, cultural attunement, and clinical rigor.
Today, Queer Therapy Experience brings that same care to queer and trans folks across the Hudson Valley, Capital Region, Finger Lakes, and every corner of New York State — wherever you call home, you’re welcome here.
What We Do
at Queer Therapy Experience
At Queer Therapy Experience, we offer non-judgmental, collaborative therapy grounded in harm reduction and defined by your goals, not ours. We meet you at your own pace and tailor our work to support the changes that feel right to you.
Our clinicians bring warmth, honesty, and a lived connection to the communities we serve. Many of us are on our own healing journeys and understand the value of being seen in all your complexity. We work from anti-pathologizing frameworks that hold pain and coping in context, not as individual failings.
We honor the roles that body, spirit, and community can play in healing, and we support clients in connecting with these parts of themselves, however that may look.

Our Values
Identity
We are members of the communities we serve. Our work is informed by our clinical training, as well as, our own identities and lived experiences. Our practice centers LGBTQIA+ clients, and all our therapists are part of the queer community ourselves.
Liberation
Consent and self determination are foundational in our therapy. We respect the rights of all living beings, and work to enhance the freedom, safety, and ability for your authentic self expression, peace, and joy—especially to those who have experienced oppression and marginalization.
Radical Warmth
The care we have for our clients runs deep. While working with your therapist, you will be treated with compassion and empathy, wholly listened to, and experience a warm and welcoming environment.
