Licensed Clinical Social Worker -
NYC Affirmative Psychotherapy is a community-focused, sliding scale, psychotherapy practice in New York State that aims to provide affirmative therapy in a sustainable way to the community. By affirmative we mean that we do not view individuals from the perspective of being defective or needing to be fixed. We firmly believe that change is possible and that we as human beings grown in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. You are not alone. Lets take the next step together.
