We understand that xenophobia and other forms of oppression impact our mental health. Although not everyone can benefit from our services, we proudly support organizations doing important work with and on behalf of community members affected by structural violence.

How Queer BIPOC Can Build Resilience in a Post-Pandemic NYC
Without culturally competent mental health care, these emotions can deepen, becoming more difficult to manage. For queer BIPOC individuals in NYC, where gentrification, economic disparities, and systemic oppression are daily realities, depression can feel insurmountable.
However, it’s important to recognize that these emotions are not something you need to face alone. Therapy, especially with a provider who understands the unique experiences of queer BIPOC individuals, can help you process these feelings, address their root causes, and develop coping strategies to regain control of your mental health.
