Learn About Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a one-on-one space to explore what’s going on in your inner world: thoughts, emotions, identity, patterns, and pain. At Expansive Therapy, our approach is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and LGBTQIA+ affirmation.
Our commitment is to your healing, your clarity, your growth. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, identity questions, or just need someone to talk to, therapy can be a powerful step toward more self-understanding and peace.
Begin Individual Therapy
At Expansive Therapy, we know that healing happens in relationship, and that starts with feeling seen. Our NYC therapists offer a space where you can show up as your full self: queer, questioning, neurodivergent, healing from trauma, or just… human.
We take a relational approach to individual therapy, meaning your therapist isn’t a blank slate. They're a supportive collaborator who’s deeply invested in your process. Together, you'll explore what matters most to you, and what might be getting in the way.
Expansive Therapy is 100% queer-owned and most of our therapists are LGBTQ identified. We have trained with the best in the field and want to bring that quality of work to your sessions, online from anywhere in the state, or in-person.
Meet the Expansive Team

A safe space to explore trauma, anxiety, grief, identity, relationships, or big life questions
Collaborative sessions where you set the pace and the goals
An emphasis on curiosity and connection, not judgment or “fixing”
A therapist who brings their full humanity

"Love this practice. If you have PPO insurance, this is the place to go in NYC... They make the whole insurance process easy and manageable, and great therapy too!"

Therapy should feel accessible from the very start, including when it comes to cost. Expansive Therapy is an out-of-network provider, and we work with most PPO and POS plans that include out-of-network mental health benefits.
Before your first session, our admin team verifies your benefits and sends you a clear, easy-to-understand coverage breakdown. Once you begin, we take care of claim submissions and denials so you’re not stuck dealing with paperwork or insurance calls.
Session rates range from $75 to $250 depending on your therapist’s experience, about 35% below typical NYC rates. Whether you’re based in Park Slope, Harlem, or the Lower East Side, we’ll walk you through your options with clarity and care.
