Therapy Services
At The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center, we provide psychotherapy and sex therapy to individuals, couples, multiple-partner relationships, and families in NYC.
Taking the first step toward seeking therapy is often the hardest part of recovery and self-empowerment.
You Deserve Compassion
