Nest Therapy is an NYC based practice with diverse therapists who serve marginalized communities, providing affirming, responsive, and personalized care.
While Nest specializes in care for historically underserved populations, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, immigrant, and neurodivergent communities among others, we welcome individuals from all backgrounds and identities.
We offer both in person and virtual sessions!
In-person sessions are available on Wednesdays at our beautiful Chelsea office
Virtual sessions are available Mondays through Fridays from your own cozy couch
These are some of the topics we often help with:
Complex Trauma & PTSD
Traumatic past experiences can leave a strong impact on how we relate to others, ourselves, and the world around us. Safely processing our past with warm, considerate, and informed guidance can help us continue to move forward.
Gender, Sexuality, & Race
People with marginalized identities carry a heavy weight under systems of oppression and discrimination. Work with fellow lgbtq+ folks and POC to explore your identity, unlearn internalized prejudices, and feel supported in your place in the world.
Neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism)
Through learning how to improve executive function, better emotionally regulate, and strengthen self-acceptance, neurodivergent people feel more confident navigating a neurotypical world. These skills create a stronger sense of self, reduce frustration, and support a more fulfilling, authentic life.
Life Transitions
Big changes can bring both excitement and stress. Whether it's a new job, a move, or a shift in relationships, navigating these transitions with clarity and support can help build resilience and a sense of purpose moving forward.
Anxiety & Depression
Feeling stuck in cycles of worry, stress, or sadness can be exhausting and isolating. Gaining a deeper understanding of these emotions and learning new ways to navigate them can create more ease, balance, and connection in daily life.
Relationship Challenges
Relationships can bring joy, but they can also be confusing and frustrating at times. Patterns that keep repeating, difficulties with communication, or ongoing conflict can create tension. Exploring these challenges with care can lead to stronger, more fulfilling connections—with others and with yourself.
Therapy is never one size fits all. There are so many different approaches to therapy and we try to integrate a variety of them to create personalized treatment that’s unique to your needs.
These are some of the approaches we integrate when customizing your care:
-
We all have different parts of ourselves, like an inner child, a critic, or a protector. IFS helps you connect with these parts, understand their roles, and heal the emotional wounds they carry. By nurturing and integrating these parts, you can feel more balanced, whole, and at peace with yourself.
-
ACT helps you make space for difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control you. By learning to accept what you can’t change, you can focus your energy on what truly matters—living a life aligned with your values. It’s about taking meaningful actions, even when facing challenges.
-
CBT helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that impact your emotions and behaviors. By recognizing negative thoughts like self-criticism or worry, you’ll learn to challenge and reframe them in ways that better serve you. You’ll get practical tools to cope with anxiety, depression, and stress, helping you take positive actions and build healthier habits. It’s a structured, goal-oriented therapy designed to improve your overall well-being.
-
This therapy explores how past experiences, especially from childhood, shape your current thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By understanding these patterns, you can gain insight into your emotional life and improve your connections. The therapeutic relationship itself also becomes a space to work through these dynamics, fostering healing and self-awareness.
-
Feeling stuck? Motivational Interviewing helps you explore change in a non-judgmental, less daunting way. By discussing your ambivalence and values, you’ll strengthen your commitment to making changes at your own pace. It’s a collaborative, client-centered approach that focuses on finding solutions that feel right for you.
-
Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the body and mind. It helps you become aware of how your body holds onto stress, trauma, or emotions. By tuning into physical sensations, we can unlock stored experiences and learn a new way to understand and process your experiences. Somatic therapy uses breathwork, movement, and other techniques to help release tension and restore balance, empowering you to feel more present and connected in your body.
