Close
Kip is a mental health provider based in NYC and serving clients in and around the city. We’re on a mission to ensure that everyone has a safe environment to seek mental health care and build a more fulfilling life.
We provide care for individuals who have been excluded from traditional therapy, particularly members of the LGBTQ+ community.
We offer training and support for emerging therapists to improve quality of care and unlock new opportunities for diverse clinicians.
We boldly push the field of psychotherapy forward, and evolve our own approach based on the latest best practices.
“My passion for mental health care is deeply personal. Committing to therapy changed my life.”
Welcome to Kip Therapy! As Clinic Director, I hope you discover that Kip is your best option for therapy in NYC and the surrounding areas. But, really, our work is to discover more about you: What do you care about? Who do you hope to become? Therapy provides space to explore these questions and countless others.
My passion for mental health care is deeply personal. Committing to therapy changed my life, and I hope it will change yours too.
When I first relocated to New York City, my life was not manageable. I had recently begun my social and medical transition from female to male while reassessing years of struggles in my career path and interpersonal relationships. When I decided to open myself up to talk therapy, major breakthroughs happened. I had the confidence to leave the stressful world of retail management and launched a new career in healthcare instead. And finding a therapist who understood my experience as a trans person allowed me to focus on the real work at hand.
The person I am today—a leader, a father, and a husband—looks back on the decision to pursue therapy as one of my best.
When Kip was founded in 2013, it paved the way for psychotherapy to better meet the needs of a newer generation of clients. Kip continues to disrupt the profession by providing care for people who have been excluded by therapists, and by investing in practitioners from historically marginalized groups. This is most evident in our unique expertise working with LGTBQ+ populations, but it shapes every aspect of our work.
Because we are structured as a training practice, our staff is composed of clinicians at various stages of their careers, from graduate students to expert practitioners. This makes it easier to find a therapist who can guide your mental health journey and also fit into your budget. Whoever you decide to work with, that therapist will be constantly learning and growing their own skill set. We believe that when our therapists are supported, they can better support you.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out as you start your journey in therapy. From my own experience, I know it takes courage—and I know it’s worth it.
Sincerely, AJ
Our team is spread across all five boroughs and the greater New York metro area. But you can stay at home or hop on the subway for your therapy. You decide.
Kip’s leadership team is working to redefine what therapy is and can be. They have unique expertise in trauma-informed care, LGBTQ+ experiences, and personal identity.
This position is currently filled.
