What Is Bisexual Affirming Therapy?

What Is Bisexual Affirming Therapy?

Bisexual affirming therapy is a space where you don’t have to justify who you’re attracted to or who you’ve dated.

It supports bisexual, pansexual, and bi+ individuals in navigating identity, relationships, mental health, and the unique challenges of biphobia, invisibility, or erasure.

You shouldn't have to fit into a binary, so let's help you feel seen, respected, and understood across the full spectrum of your experience.

Bisexual Affirming Therapy at Expansive Therapy NYC

At Expansive Therapy, we understand that bisexual clients are often overlooked, even in queer spaces. That’s why we offer care that doesn’t erase your identity or ask you to simplify it.

Whether you're in a same-gender relationship, a mixed-gender relationship, or flying solo, our therapists meet you without assumptions.

Many of our clients come to us looking for validation, emotional support, or help navigating family dynamics, internalized biphobia, or feelings of invisibility.

We’re located in Midtown Manhattan at 352 7th Ave, with clients commuting from Clinton Hill, Inwood, South Ozone Park, and Stuyvesant Town, or meeting us virtually across New York State.

What to Expect from Bisexual Affirming Therapy

What to Expect from Bisexual Affirming Therapy

In sessions, you can expect care that doesn’t ask you to explain, simplify, or compartmentalize your identity. Some clients come to explore their sexuality more deeply, others to work through relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, or the impact of being misunderstood, even in LGBTQ+ spaces.

You’ll work collaboratively with a therapist who understands how cultural bias, family dynamics, and internalized stigma can show up, and who’s committed to helping you feel whole, not “split.”

Whether you meet with us in-person from Flatbush, Washington Heights, or Roosevelt Island, or join virtually from anywhere in NY, our goal is the same: to help you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Facing Feelings, Finding Freedom

Emotions can be difficult to face, especially in communities where shame or stigma has been internalized. In this conversation, Expansive Therapy co-founders Nick Fager and Megan Murphy explore the link between emotion phobia and internalized homophobia and transphobia.

Bisexual-affirming therapy reflects this same care, creating a safe space to unpack shame, embrace your emotions, and feel supported in living more fully and authentically.

Meet Our NYC Bisexual-Affirming Therapists

Our New York therapists understand the unique realities bisexual clients often face, from invisibility and stigma to celebrating fluidity and authenticity. They bring affirmation, compassion, and curiosity to every session.

Many of our therapists identify as bisexual or queer themselves, creating space where your identity is respected and never questioned. With their support, you can explore relationships, build confidence, and feel grounded in your most authentic self.

Why Clients Choose Expansive Therapy in NYC for Bisexual Affirming Therapy
