Therapy for identity, gender, sex, and relationships.
Clients come to us to work through questions of sexuality, gender, sex, and relationships — and everything that surrounds them. We’re a small team of experienced therapists, in person in Manhattan and online across New York State.
-
Serious, rigorous therapy — rooted in deep attention to the inner life.
What brings people to us.
-
Gay & queer men
The inner lives of gay and queer men have been a specialty here from the start — relationships, sex, intimacy, loneliness, substance use, self-worth.
-
Trans & gender-expansive people
Support through questioning, transition, and everything after — for trans and non-binary adults, including dedicated work with trans youth and their families.
-
Couples & relationships
Partners in every configuration — and the other bonds that shape a life: family, friendship, chosen family.
-
Anyone in a hard stretch
Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, feeling stuck. You don’t need an identity-related reason to be here.
How we workKip’s clinicians have spent their careers working with gay, queer, and trans communities. The work itself is deliberate and rigorous — attentive to history, to patterns, and to the parts of experience that are hard to put into words. We hold ourselves to a high standard of care.

Fees, insurance, and getting started.
-
Fees & insurance
We’re out-of-network with insurance — and that doesn’t have to mean expensive. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits (many do), we can often submit claims on your behalf, reducing your out-of-pocket expenses. We’ll help you check your benefits before you begin.
