LGBT therapists in Yonkers, NY

It takes strength and bravery to let others witness our suffering and I will honor that in our work together. I want to assist you in this journey by use of empathy, compassion, attunement and humor. I will help you to embrace your current state while also teaching you how to navigate, contain and process feelings. The focus of my work is to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

I specialize in attachment and developmental trauma, childhood/adulthood sexual abuse and domestic violence. I also have experience working with identity and sexuality, self-esteem, relationship conflicts, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I will help you to embody your emotional experience in order to feel relief and enhance personal growth.

My work has a psychodynamic framework with frequent use of Somatic Experiencing®, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques. Please reach out for a free consultation. I welcome the opportunity to connect and look forward to hearing from you.

I provide care for various forms of trauma, in particular complex intergenerational and racial wounds and their somatic impacts. Depression, anxiety and family conflict concerns are a few other areas I also specialize in. I help folx on the margins of dominant cultures navigate the intersectionality of identity.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of New York. My approach to therapy is warm, open-minded, collaborative, and supportive. Throughout that process, I use an integrative

approach utilizing DBT, CBT, strength-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I specialize in

couples’ therapy, and treatment resistant individual therapy.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning adults who appear to be managing life well from the outside but are privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, ADHD, or major life transitions. I have a particular interest in men's mental health and helping professionals navigate the pressures that come with demanding careers, relationships, and family responsibilities. I work with adults, and can support parenting and divorce-related work, as well.

I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy. My nature is conducive to building solid, trusting therapeutic relationships through acceptance, empathy, active listening, and enthusiasm for the work. My goal is to support clients as they pursue their passions, talents, and true happiness. I have honed my clinical skills through the years in varied settings, including outpatient mental, behavioral and community health. I deeply believe that everyone has growth potential.

You’re tired and burnt out from overthinking, people-pleasing, doubting yourself, and trying to be everything to everyone. You’ve learned to push through, but now you're ready to feel okay. I work with folks who are ready to stop just surviving and start feeling more grounded, clearer, and more like themselves. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, providing a safe and comfortable space so all individuals feel like they can be their authentic selves.

Hello, my name is Matthew Cosentino and I'm a licensed mental health counselor. I've worked with clients of all backgrounds and with various reasons that brought them to counseling. I know first hand what it's like to go through things like anxiety and depression and I specialize in working with people facing those challenges. I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, there is hope ahead. I strive to help clients find the light at the end of the tunnel and build the tools needed to move toward a brighter future.

I am a strengths based, solution focused therapist who believes we all have an inherent ability to heal, but that ability may be blocked by difficult and traumatic life events.
