IHI is a place you invest in. It’s a labor-of-love organization for us.

Our staff clinicians are experienced, licensed therapists who specialize in LGBTQIA+, kink, and polyamory-affirming care. Standard fees apply, and out-of-network insurance paperwork is available upon request.

Our advanced clinical interns offer quality, affirming care closely supervised by our senior clinical team. Therapy sessions with a clinical intern range from $60–$90 per session, offering a more affordable path to support.

Every single one. LGBTQ+-affirming care is the foundation of our clinical work. All IHI therapists provide care that respects and affirms diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences. IHI is committed to inclusive hiring and cultivating a diverse clinical team that reflects our values.

Staff therapists and advanced clinical interns practice under licensed supervision in accordance with New York State law.

That's totally okay. A lot of people begin therapy knowing they want support but aren't sure exactly what kind of approach is right for them. During the intake process, we'll help connect you with a therapist whose experience aligns with your needs and concerns.

Absolutely. You don't have to educate us on the challenges you face. Some clients prefer working with a therapist who shares aspects of their identity, while others prioritize a certain therapeutic style or clinical expertise. The therapist biographies provide information on background and areas of focus so you can choose the therapist whose approach and experience are the best fit for you.
