Sex Therapists in New York

Hi, I am Octavia a therapist at Your Voice Matters Therapy. I am accepting new clients so feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. I aim to create a warm, safe, confidential, and judgment-free space for clients. It is important for clients to have such a space to be able to unpack and explore all that is bothering them. I work with clients through a few different approaches such as strength-based, Humanistic, and mindfulness. Therapy is not one size fits all and thus I tailor my work to each individual client. I believe that everyone is the author of their life story. In that story, you may experience many challenges, but know that you do not have to face those challenges alone. Together we can work through those challenges so that you are ready and prepared for whatever other challenges the future may hold. Together we will build a tool kit to help you continue your life story. Do not end it here!

Finding a safe space where you can let go of worry about being judged or accepted is hard. I hope to provide you the ease, comfort, and safety in the virtual therapy room you've been seeking. I am a licensed psychotherapist and certified yoga instructor with a virtual private practice based in New York State. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ matters, women's obstacles, and race and identity concerns. My work entails deconstructing white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and colonization as it relates to your identity. I offer a unique and holistic approach to therapy by integrating yoga and meditation into your experience. Each session with me begins with a personalized yoga practice, transitions to talk therapy, and closes with a guided meditation. As a compassion-focused therapist, I hope to help you develop a compassionate self while building hard skills you can use in your day to day.

I support clients struggling with work stress, lack of time for what matters to you, self-worth, and feeling drained in your relationships. As a therapist who's passionate about creating a healthier American work culture, I help LGBTQ and BIPOC clients struggling with burnout so that they feel more balance in their lives and create room for more of what brings them connectedness and joy. I work in a conversational and insight-oriented way that taps into longer lasting change.

Sammi Farber is a passionate and dedicated therapist aiming to help clients of all ages feel more connected to others, to the life they want to live, and, most importantly, to their authentic self. She aims to create a safe and supportive space for those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and those managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.  

Life doesn't have to suck all the time. I'm not saying that therapy can make your life the greatest in the world, but it can help you work through the experiences in your life that are hard to cope with. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who is not close to the problem and who has no idea who we are so that we can say things that we would not usually say to those closest to us so that we are not judged. I'm here to listen to everything you have to say without judgment and then guide you through finding healthy ways to cope with the difficult experiences in your life while you ease into your recovery journey. I offer active listening without judgment, compassion, empathy, and guidance. I am honest in my treatment but gentle. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy, guidance through radical acceptance, as well as decision making, and difficult life changes. I offer bereavement therapy, and couple's therapy as well as guidance for LGBTQIA youth. My passion comes from a personal place that has been a staple in my professional work as I am eager to guide those who want to move forward with their lives while they are experiencing their healing and recovery journey.
