At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we know your mental health isn’t separate from your lived experience. That’s why we offer intersectional therapy—an approach that honors the complexity of who you are.
Race, gender, sexuality, culture, class, neurodivergence, and body experience all influence how you move through the world. And yet, many traditional therapy models treat mental health as if it exists in a vacuum. We believe you deserve more.
What Is Intersectional Therapy?
Intersectional therapy is an inclusive, affirming framework that acknowledges and works with the full scope of your identity. Instead of compartmentalizing your experiences, this approach invites all of you into the therapy room.
It means:
-
Your therapist holds space for your whole self—not just your symptoms
-
You don’t have to explain or justify your cultural or identity-based experiences
-
You are seen and supported in your unique social context
-
Therapy reflects your lived reality, not just a diagnostic label
Why Intersectionality Matters in Mental Health
Your emotional well-being is shaped by more than personal history. It’s also impacted by systems of power and oppression, community dynamics, and the way you’ve had to navigate the world.
Intersectional therapy helps address:
-
The stress of code-switching or not feeling “understood” in traditional spaces
-
Internalized messages around race, gender, body, or worth
-
Generational trauma and cultural grief
-
Shame around neurodivergence, queerness, or nonconformity
-
The isolation that comes from feeling invisible or misread
