Dr. Megan Piesman

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in NYC with training in CBT, ERP (Exposure & Ritual Prevention), ACT, CPT, and Psychological Testing. I specialize in treating OCD, Anxiety, Perfectionism, and PTSD. I completed my internship at Veteran Affairs – Hudson Valley Health Care.

Daniel Frazer

I specialize in men’s mental health, focusing on the intersection of OCD, chronic pain/illness, and agoraphobia/panic disorder. My work centers on fostering resilience, exploring masculinity, and helping clients create more meaning in their lives. I strive to support men as they navigate life’s complexities while addressing the unique pressures and expectations they face. Through an authentic, educational, and collaborative approach, I help clients break unhelpful patterns, embrace support, and build fulfilling, authentic lives.

Elias Moor

I approach therapy from the perspective that we have the capacity to find answers within ourselves and evolve as people. I work with individuals in a collaborative, strengths-based, emergent process. Together, let’s identify and challenge disruptive thoughts, behaviors, and feelings in a safe, confidential, supportive environment.

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.

Dr. Daniel Kessler

A trusted advisor to leaders, founders, and professionals managing complex roles, Dr. Kessler has 30 years of experience and is sought by those navigating major inflection points – from mental/emotional overload and performance plateaus to relationship recalibration.

Dr. Kessler is focused, directive, and works to help clients clarify their goals, strengthen performance, and reclaim emotional energy. No psychobabble, just focused, outcome-driven work, customized to your needs.

He focuses on issues common to men, such as sleep, resolving communication and distancing issues in relationships, decreasing performance-based anxiety and stress, and smoothing life transitions and self-doubt.

Sierra Brown Georges

I specialize in compassionate therapy, guiding clients on an inward journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we explore emotions, develop coping skills, and cultivate mindfulness for growth. My approach fosters self-compassion and acceptance, addressing anxiety and enhancing emotional regulation in a safe, supportive space.

Mr. Charles Eisenberg

I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with insight oriented psychotherapy. I often assign work for you to do in-between sessions. I sometimes utilize specific exercises to elict emotions and imagery.

Simon Bresler

My therapeutic style is interactive, warm, and emotionally present. I utilize cutting-edge therapies, such as AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy), so that my patients experience growth in real time.

Aaron Kogel Smucker

I specialize in trauma and working with people who are impacted by stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, isolation, control issues, relationship issues, abusive relationships, anger management issues, and internalized oppression. If your spirituality is important to you, I’m trained and experienced incorporating people’s spiritual experiences and beliefs.

I will tailor our sessions to who you are and what you need so that our time together encourages personal growth, healing, and positive changes that ripple out across your life. If you are interested in learning more or are ready to make an appointment, then I encourage you to reach out.

Monica Gavilanes

I have a blended approach with my clients pulling from psychoanalytic, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, DBT, and somatic modalities. Additionally, I take a client-centered approach ensuring that I am conceptualizing the client holistically and learning what styles would benefit them best while holding the therapeutic relationship in high regard. I work with adult 18+ and teens and focus on issues of childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, relationship issues, substance abuse, lack of motivation, and self-esteem.

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.

Gabriela Tilevitz

I specialize in working with individuals and couples looking to explore issues related to relationships, sex and sexuality. Often times shame, guilt, anxiety and sadness are the core emotions at the center of our distress. Together we can work towards facing some of these negative and uncomfortable feelings in order to lead you towards a path of healing and empowerment. In understanding yourself and your needs better I hope you can begin to feel more confident in making decisions, letting go of the things you may have been holding onto, or feeling more connected to yourself and others.

Teresa Thompson

My practice takes a holistic approach to psychological and emotional wellness, informed by my understanding of the need to incorporate an understanding of a person’s social and environmental surroundings to accurately assess and address their mental health. My clinical approach draws from a number of modalities including Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and is also influenced by postcolonial theory.
