Therapy Services & Specialties in NYC

Finding the right therapist is already work. Finding one where you don’t have to explain your life, justify your relationship structure, or brace for a puzzled look is a whole different search. Blue Canary is a practice built by and for people in LGBTQ+, kink, and non-monogamous communities. Most of our therapists are part of these communities themselves, which means you won’t spend the first three sessions bringing your therapist up to speed on who you are.

We see clients in person at our SoHo office in NYC and in Kingston, NY. For everything else, we do telehealth across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.

Every therapist here has their own specialty and way of working, so you’re more likely to find someone who genuinely fits, instead of someone who took a training and added “kink-aware” to their profile.

We’re here to support you with:

  • In-Person Sessions at our NYC (SoHo) or Kingston NY offices.
  • Online Therapy across New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and New Jersey
  • Flexible Scheduling including evenings and weekends
  • Individual & Couples Therapy for the concerns that bring people in most: anxiety that won’t quiet down, relationships under strain, questions about sex and intimacy, or figuring out what’s next.

Sex Therapy

Talk about desire, performance, intimacy, or anything else that’s been on your mind. We’re sex-positive and judgment-free.

Couples Therapy

Work through the hard parts with a therapist who won’t take sides. Better communication, less resentment, more of what brought you together.

LGBTQ+ Couples Therapy

Queer relationships come with their own set of challenges and strengths. We get both, because we come from the same communities.

Kink-Friendly Therapy

BDSM-affirming therapy where you won’t have to justify or explain your interests. We focus on what you came in for.

Queer Affirming Therapy

Therapy with someone who understands your life already. No explaining yourself, no educating your therapist, just the real work.

Trans Affirming Therapy

Therapy for trans and nonbinary folks with therapists who understand gender firsthand, not from a textbook.

Poly/Non-Monogamous Therapy

New to non-monogamy or years into it, we can help you work through what comes up.

Therapy for Depression

When getting out of bed feels like a lot, therapy can help you figure out what’s going on and what to do about it.

Therapy for Anxiety

If your brain won’t stop running worst-case scenarios, we can help you get a handle on what’s driving the anxiety.

Grief & Loss Therapy

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline. We’re here to sit with you through it, not rush you to the other side.

Stress Management Therapy

When everything feels like too much, we’ll help you figure out what’s in your control and what to let go of.

Immigrant Affirming Therapy

Moving between cultures is complicated. We get the specific pressures of immigration: identity, family expectations, feeling between worlds.

Somatic Therapy

Your body holds onto what your mind hasn’t fully processed. Somatic therapy helps you work with both.

Psychedelic Integration Therapy

Had a psychedelic experience that shifted something? We can help you make sense of it and put the insights to use.

Life Transitions

Big changes (new jobs, moves, coming out, breakups, identity shifts) are disorienting. Therapy can help you get your footing.

PTSD and Trauma Therapy

Trauma changes how your brain and body respond to the world. We use evidence-based approaches to help you get unstuck.

Group Therapy

Sometimes it helps to be in a room with people who get it. Our groups offer connection, perspective, and a different kind of support.

Family Therapy

Every family has its patterns. We help you see yours clearly and figure out what to do differently.

Platonic Relationship Therapy

Friendships matter. When they’re strained or changing, it’s worth having a space to work through it.

Neurodivergent Couples Therapy

When one or both partners are neurodivergent, communication works differently. We help couples bridge those gaps without anyone being the “problem.”
