The National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN) is a healing justice organization committed to transforming mental health for queer and trans people of color (QTPoC).

Our overall goal is to increase access to healing justice resources for QTPoC.

Email: mleakstherapy@gmail.com | I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice. Throughout my career, I have worked in schools, residential programs, non-profits, and medical clinics. Most of my professional experience has been within the LGBTQ+ community. I worked as a behavioral health consultant at Howard Brown Health in Chicago, and worked as a staff therapist and clinical supervisor for graduate student interns at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City. In addition to the queer and trans community, I am committed to providing psychotherapy for folks that identify as Black, Brown, Indigenous, and POC.

Phone: (646) 918-1181 | Email: hello@kindmindpsych.com | All of our therapists provide culturally affirming therapy. Regardless of their personal background, every therapist at the practice engages in ongoing training and supervision to provide the highest quality of care. At Kind Mind Psych, we provide care with an affirming, intersectional, inclusive, and anti-oppressive lens.

I am a psychotherapist with over 16 years experience working with people who have a mental health diagnosis and those going through life transitions. I also have worked extensively with those who have physical conditions impacting mental health. Additionally, I spent 12 years training in queer clinical spaces - I work with people exploring gender and sexuality in an affirming and validating way. I also work with many young adults and college students.

Phone: (347) 281-7841 | Email: connect@bipocrestorativetherapylcsw.com | (NOTE: Inquire about sliding scale fees) Who am I? I’m a kick-ass therapist (they/them, xe/xem) that wants to work collaboratively with you on your healing journey! You won’t find the typical “I’m the therapist, so I’m the expert” vibe with me. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the expert on yourself. Therefore, you decide what we work on, what you share, and what methods we will use. If you are new to therapy, we will work together to understand what methods work best for you through open and honest communication. It is an honor when clients trust me, and earning that trust is a process that I am sure not to rush. You will bring that determination firing up inside of you, hungry for change and I will bring my compassionate support to carefully guide you towards your goals. Together, we will determine the ways in which your past, relationships, and environmental influences (including all the -isms) affect your current circumstances and how they hinder or propel you towards the life you want and deserve.
