Janet LeMoal

These are heavy times for Queer folks, people of color, and women. Add the weight of daily life, and it’s no wonder so many are feeling overwhelmed, angry, and exhausted.

If that’s you, you’re not alone.

I won’t dismiss your pain. I can have hard conversations.

Hurt and hope can coexist, ____________________

After graduating from Hunter College School of Social Work in 2008, I have held various roles. I've worked at HIV/AIDS clinics, a homeless shelter for LGBTQIA+ youth, and a homeless medical team where I continue to provide mental health and addiction services. I also have experience in community mental health, working with individuals living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and trauma. These experiences have shaped me into an open-minded and nonjudgmental therapist.

I prioritize listening to and validating people's experiences. Therapy with me is person-centered and collaborative. I have an eclectic, sometimes irreverent approach to therapy while still relying on evidence-based treatments like DBT and CBT, which focus on developing coping and calming skills and learning to intervene in the thoughts that tell you not to be you. I can have hard conversations about sensitive subjects.

In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I am interested in learning about your story: What brings you to therapy? What matters to you? What are your goals? You are also welcome to ask me questions about my practice.
