Meet our community.
We are a team of social workers who believe change is possible and that we as human beings grow in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. All of our therapists bring lived experiences to their work and know first-hand how our intersectional identities can impact our daily life. When you work with NYC Affirmative Psychotherapy we will match you with one of our experienced team members.
