LGBTQIA+ & Gender Affirming Therapy
in New York
Helping LGBTQIA+ folx work through their inner doubts and embrace their whole selves
Life as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community can be full of barriers to overcome. Most people who start therapy feel unsure of whether they can truly find a safe space to be themselves, and when you’re a member of an oppressed community, that’s even more of a potential issue. Maybe you know you'd be happier if you made changes, but it feels safer and more comfortable to handle shit yourself or maybe you feel like you could be more fulfilled but don't know how to start.
Stuck in a rut and feeling like you need to untangle your own brain, it may seem like life is being wasted on questioning instead of doing.
My name is Kristina Jones, I am a bi woman and affirming therapist, and I’m here to help.
Do you feel insecure, ashamed, or overwhelmed?
Do any of the following resonate with you?
You are questioning your sexuality and want to get all of these thoughts out
You are thinking about exploring your gender more and don't know where to start
You have some uncertainty about your sexuality AND your gender, and that's overwhelming as fuck
You are fully self-aware of your gender and sexuality, but you need a safe space to just be you
If these sound true for you, I want you to know that it’s understandable to feel embarrassed to open up about what you’re really going through, even to family and friends. Therapy provides a non-judgemental space for you to talk freely about what’s bothering you. It is never selfish to want to explore yourself more fully and become the best possible version of you. Never.
Therapy can help you gain the courage to be your true self
It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...
Discover more about who you are meant to be.
Find a safe place for yourself to thrive.
Let go of internalized stigmas and be free to live as your true self.
Create a more meaningful life based on what you really need.
Uncover the truth about your identity
Therapy with an affirming provider can help you rise above challenges thrown at you and start moving towards your ideal life with less less confusion and more confidence.
You will find the tools within yourself that you need to shed your skin and grow into who you really are. You will learn things about yourself that you haven't realized before. Even if you are not usually comfortable opening up to people, therapy can help you on that journey.
I've helped lots of folx within the LGBTQIA+ community establish a safe space to explore their identity, learn more about themselves, and heal from past wounds. Through compassionate, non-judgemental self-exploration, my clients discover that it's possible to live life as their most genuine selves.
How therapy works
Therapy with me consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you go deeper into yourself and learn what you really need. I will ask questions and share thoughts when it's helpful. I don’t just sit there and stare at you; I play an active role.
I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing what you’re dealing with. I help you explore your inner world and really get to the core of what you’re feeling and how I might be able to guide you forward.
Therapy can positively change your thinking, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. It can help you let go of what’s holding you back.
