There are a lot of therapy practices out there.

Why choose to work with NYC Affirmative?

We firmly believe that change is possible and that we as human beings grow in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. We recognize the innate strengths that continue to allow people to function while enduring difficult life circumstances. We know the courage it takes to embark upon this process of healing and we believe that you can. We’re not afraid of the tough conversations. And we are committed to your journey.

For over eight years we’ve been dedicated to making therapy accessible to ALL New Yorkers. We don’t believe that you should have to pay $250 for the privilege of a clinically skillful therapist that can help you. Or that you should have to fight with your insurance to get your out of network benefits. We also partner with local non-profits to offer serviced to their members at no cost. These are all essential to our commitment to social justice.

NYCAP is and has always been a QPOC owned practice. We have an exceptional team of licensed social workers available to work with you. We know firsthand what it’s like to come into a space that was not built with you in mind. At NYCAP you don’t need to explain yourself, and you won’t be judged. All of our therapists are also members of the communities that we are dedicated to serving.

Our process is simple. Complete a brief, secure online questionnaire to be scheduled with one of our expert clinicians. If you have insurance we will confirm your benefits for you. If you’re paying out of pocket, you tell us what fee you can pay, no questions asked. We have appointments available 6 days a week, fully online so you can meet on your terms. We know how busy your life can be, so we make it easy to find a therapist that gets it.
