Glen Head Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Kevin Goldwater

I know it can be overwhelming finding a therapist. My clients are often looking to better understand themselves or find healthier ways to cope. They might be struggling with relationships, navigating major life changes, or facing substance use issues. Many are members of the LGBQ and TGNB communities or allies. I believe each person has their own unique identity, culture, and environment, so I place great focus on honoring those parts of each individual and working within their framework.

Alyssa Steinway

As multi-dimensional beings, it can be challenging to find spaces where all aspects of our identities are fully seen, understood, and embraced. In our search for belonging, we may disconnect from parts of ourselves, leading to feelings of isolation or discontent. My aim is to co-create a space where individuals can reconnect with every layer of their being, including those parts that may feel “too much” for the world around them, fostering acceptance and wholeness.

My clients are vibrant, intelligent individuals who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after losing a loved one (companion animals included), or in the midst of a conflict or transition.
