I am a gay man (pronouns: he, him) who has been working with the LGBTQ+ community on a professional basis for over ten years. This background provides me with unique expertise on issues that tend to be a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer experience.
I began my mental health work with the LGBTQ+ community at the New York City Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project, and enhanced my experience with clinical positions at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center and Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC).

I think leaving reviews for therapists and counselors is crucial, and Israel was a wonderful help for my partner and I working through some communication issues. He provided the two of us tools that have been very helpful in helping us discuss our problems more clearly.
As a therapist, Israel was patient and had flexible availability for my boyfriend and my schedules. The fact that he had experience with poly couples was very important for us and he was a great fit as a couple's therapist for us.
The only downfall is that he doesn't accept insurance, but for both my and my partner
