About my therapy practice:

I have extensive experience working with people who are LGBTQ+, polyamorous/ENM, neurodivergent, sex workers, disabled, kink-identified, and HIV positive. Some of the issues I can help you cope with include low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, loneliness, past trauma, and difficult relationships with family members. My style is non-judgmental and collaborative to help bring about the changes you are seeking. Additionally, I am an out trans person, and I love working with other trans people and those who have trans loved ones in their lives.

The main methods I use are narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. I specialize in applying an anti-oppressive framework to CBT and other therapy models, and working with clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, and C-PTSD.

Entering into therapy with a new practitioner can be intimidating. I strive to make this process as comfortable and rewarding as possible. I believe in patient autonomy and transparency around the therapeutic process. Together, we will endeavor to find a therapeutic model that best suits your needs.

I completed my MSW at Hunter College in 2015. Since that time, I’ve worked at the following non-profits serving the LGBTQ population, with a focus on working with people who are young and unhoused: the Hetrick-Martin Institute, the Ali Forney Center, and the LGBT Community Center in NYC.

Currently, I have no availability for new clients. Please reach out to be added to a wait list or if you need a one-time consultation: therapy@theoczere.com or 484-362-9373.
