Find a Therapist

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.

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.

Dr. Simay Gokbayrak

I provide science-informed therapy for men. I am committed to helping you gain clarity about what is a valued life to you and manage the things that are getting in the way of that life you want to live and the person you want to be.

Christopher Lashomb

My practice is deeply empathetic and intuitive, utilizes unique life experience and is rooted in the psychodynamic and attachment theory modalities. I also apply trauma-informed care, CBT, and other evidence-based practices, which allows clients to see real and actual positive changes in their lives. For me, process and progress go hand in hand.

Julian Cabezas

As a psychotherapist (LCSW), I support people through a non-pathologizing approach by offering the compassion and connection we all need to heal. I affirm your gender, sexuality, culture, race, neurodiversity, and the backgrounds that blend to make you who you are today.

I utilize a variety of modalities based on the person(s) in front of me. Relational work is embedded within every intervention.

Methods include Internal Family Systems, Somatics, Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health focused on dads & fatherhood,  Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, Brainspotting, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

I see our sessions as a time to guide you and a place to teach you so that when you leave the office, you will have those skills within yourself. I meet with clients virtually weekly and bi-weekly in California and New York. I am an out-of provider and can provide superbills if you are interested in submitting them for reimbursement. We also have therapists in training—graduate mental health interns—who provide therapy to expand access.

Additionally, I provide clinical consultation, supervision, and training for those interested in learning additional skills outside of a psychotherapy relationship. Please let me know in your message if this is of interest.

Diego Muñoz

Quite simply, psychotherapy is about conversations. The conversations we have with ourselves and with others. We often try so many different tactics to live happier more fulfilling lives, and we come to realize that it isn’t always enough. A therapeutic conversation is based on an open and genuine collaboration between client and therapist; a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding. As the foundation for good therapeutic work, it’s essential to feel comfortable and cared for. I hope to provide this conversation.

Evelyn Solomon

In my 20+ years of experience, I believe in holistic, healing therapy, where there is no “typical treatment” for a “typical person.” So instead, I integrate a strength-based approach, incorporating Trauma-Focused CBT, Mindfulness Training, and Somatic Experiencing, all while incorporating my multicultural, international lens.

I have an extensive trauma therapy background, including sexual trauma and assault and psychological first aid. My specialties include mentoring through life transitions, personal growth, self-esteem, men’s mental health, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Most importantly, I have dedicated my profession to cultivating a mindful, intentional life.
