Nicole Barman

Seeking therapy is not an easy step, but you are taking the first step to make meaningful change. Life can be stressful, painful, and frustrating. I am here to help relieve some of that frustration by creating a supportive space for you to be your true self. My approach to therapy is to help you understand your thoughts and behavior through a new lens, unraveling the root of your difficulties. I am eclectic in my work and have adapted a very holistic approach. I am relational in my work as I see people as social beings, with a lot of issues stemming from interpersonal struggles. Through our work together you will gain insight, learn how to deal in a more adaptive way to your struggles and become more in touch with your thoughts and feelings

Dr. Peter Haugen

In my experience, few individuals come to therapy feeling that “typical” treatment categories adequately capture their difficulties, hopes, and fears.
Instead, the individuals I work with sometimes describe feeling preoccupied by aspects of important relationships, blocked in their ability to express themselves authentically, or lacking self-confidence. Initially, some may even have trouble finding the right words to describe the changes they’d like to make. Finding these words—the right words—to describe what’s wrong and what relief would look like is a central part of treatment.

Jeremy Ortman

My approach to counseling is informed by multiple schools of thought including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Relational Psychotherapy. Integrating these philosophies enhances my ability to adapt to the unique needs of each individual, family, or group that I work with. My style is interactive, practical, and infused with sensitivity and a sense of humor.

Dr. Kelly Wise

Sex, sexuality, and intimacy are concepts that we spend a lot of time pondering, but have few places or people in our lives where these topics are acceptable to bring up. The truth is everyone has sexual and intimacy concerns, but society doesn’t help us sort this stuff out. Messages about sex are everywhere in advertising, but real honest sex education is lacking. This leaves us to feel that we are isolated and alone. This can cause inner turmoil for people, and I want to create a safe environment where people can discuss their desires, fears, dreams, and beliefs about themselves. I believe that personal growth and self reflection come from support, guidance, and nurturance.

Adam Kaufman

I HELP MILLENNIAL AND GEN X PROFESSIONALS CONSCIOUSLY GET WHAT THEY WANT (IN LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS). Life is overwhelming. Between work, relationships, and technology calling for your attention at every moment, it’s extremely difficult to remain calm and grounded. We can lose our sense of purpose and passion.

Unlike other therapists who merely sit and listen, I take an active and engaged approach. You may find yourself in a guided meditation or a role-play exercise. There may be optional homework assignments. We’ll tune into exactly what you need. I’m here to support you to find your unique, confident voice.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center

For anyone, beginning therapy can be filled with a range of feelings, from fear to excitement to uncertainty. As therapists, we hope to guide, support, empower and be with you during this process of growth, exploration, and self actualization. We want to work with you to realize a life you find fulfilling on your own terms.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center is a New York City based group of psychotherapists providing a wide range of services, including psychotherapy, supervision, workshops, and consultation focusing on gender, sexuality, sex and relationships.

We believe that taking the first step and beginning therapy is nothing short of courageous, is self-caring, and deeply rewarding, and we’re so glad you’re here.

Sam Steinbock

I welcome adolescents and adults who are experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, mood instability, and trauma. I am particularly attuned to the difficulties men face in understanding, experiencing, and expressing our emotions. I approach my work with compassion and warmth, along with deep respect for each individual’s experience and identities. I primarily use relational and psychodynamic modalities. This means I place an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and collaborate with my clients to identify, explore, and change relationship and behavior patterns. I believe a therapist can be a “friendly mirror,” gently guiding us to see and accept all parts of ourselves.

Dennaé Harshaw

I am a collaborative psychotherapist who enjoys integrating CBT, IFS, mindfulness treatments, trauma-informed practices, somatic treatments, and psychodynamic psychotherapy in my work to offer the best care possible for my clients. I believe sexual health, understanding, and connection are vital. I know the importance of mind/body integration. I am a practitioner who truly believes that everyone heals in different ways and everyone deserves access to that healing.
