Individual, Relationship, & Group Therapy

Queer Behaviors is an initiative to provide evidence-based therapy to LGBTQIAP+ people in New York.

We tailor individual, relationship, and group therapy to your needs, either in person (in Manhattan) or via telehealth services (available throughout New York). Making our program inclusive and accessible is a top priority; we offer sliding-scale therapy in the hopes of increasing access to life-saving treatment.

Highlights
– We specialize in working with LGBTQIAP+ clients who experience suicidal urges and/or have multiple diagnoses that complicate treatment. 

– Chrissandra M. Andra is (1) preparing for Drs. Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield’s 18-month Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), (2) completing their Mediation Fellowship with the New York Peace Institute (NYPI), and (3) receiving Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supervision after 40 hours of training.

– Paula Carrizosa is receiving Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supervision after 40 hours of training.

– All therapists are intensively trained in providing both DBT and DBT-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), the PTSD protocol.
