Own Your Authenticity with Pride
We are all unique and imperfect on a journey to understand our place in the world. No matter if you’re gay, straight, or still figuring out who you are, we’ll help you own your identity, process trauma, heal from past harm, overcome obstacles, and build your toolbox to deal with interpersonal and relationship challenges so you can truly be in control of your life.
Let’s Build a Life you love,
Regardless of when it began
Our community has come along way. Whether you’re straight, gay, queer, or bi-curious, it doesn’t matter, and we understand how loneliness can take its toll in your later years. At Manhattan Mindful, we’re here to support our queer elders with all the challenges that comes with aging.
Is Older Adult Therapy Right For You?
Older adult therapy can benefit LGBTQ+ individuals and ALL walks of life by providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive space to explore your story, navigate past or current trauma and anxiety, and navigate aging challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Not at all! While a large number of our patients are part of the LGBTQ+ community, many older adults come to us seeking support, or to explore curiosities and challenges they’ve found later in life. As such, our therapy sessions can be beneficial for any older adult seeking support, guidance, and growth, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Our therapists are well trained, have specific expertise, and we’re well qualified to help patients of all ages and walks of life. All therapy is about self-exploration, and our therapists are skilled at helping you uncover and address the deeper concerns, thoughts, and ideas that you’re struggling with — no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Therapy is about self-discovery and personal growth — not changing your identity. In our therapy sessions, we can help you embrace your true self with love and joy, and live more authentically.
Older adult therapy offers a safe and confidential space for you to explore and discuss anything that’s challenging you. If you’re seeking support, struggling with past trauma, or having trouble with the mental and physical process of aging, therapy can be a valuable resource. And it’s always worth seeing if it’s a good fit for you!
