Individual and Couple sessions informed by attachment theory, trauma and when needed sex therapy are provided in my Columbus Circle office. I can help with communication, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and attention issues. I am certified in EMDR and Board Certified in Neurofeedback and trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

Research demonstrates how the brain and our emotional lives interact and how with assistance we can change our lives.

Thank you for stopping by. You probably already know that most people find relationships challenging especially the romantic, intimate, sexual kind. Perhaps you're frustrated, discouraged, disappointed and resentful about it all. Perhaps you feel burdened or obligated by your relationship. Or perhaps you feel a whole bunch of lacks; lack of love, lack of affection, lack of connection, lack of warmth, lack of sex etc... Regardless of the particular relationship challenge or challenges you might be facing, I can help.

At The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.

Do you want a non-judgmental space where you can show up as your full self? I'm Zohar, and I hold an MSW from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and an MFA from Boston University. Therapy has helped me better understand my own behavior and has motivated me to change patterns that no longer serve me. My positive experience with therapy has inspired me to support others in exploring their own narratives, values, and actions.

The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center (G&STC) is a psychotherapy group focusing on providing LGBTQ+, kink, and poly competent therapy. We offer therapy to individuals, couples, multi-partner relationships and families. Our goal is to offer a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering therapeutic space to the individuals and communities who often lack access to services, and are met with stigma, discrimination and micro-aggressions, even while in therapy.

Most likely, you're wondering how I can help you. I've been practicing for over 30 years and specialize in: 1) marital and sex therapy (for example, erectile problems, painful intercourse, lack of sexual desire and am certified in sex therapy by the American Association of Sexual Educators, Counselors, and Therapists),- I'm always focused on increasing pleasure in your relationship; 2)reducing your depression, and 3) minimizing your compulsive eating (including weight and exercise management.). When we work together, I try to highlight your strengths so that you can take charge of your life and "fix" your problems.

I primarily work with individuals and couples looking to explore and navigate areas such as sex, intimacy, communication, conflict, trauma, infidelity, and codependency, as well as some of the more 'minor' day-to-day snags and intimacy blocks that we can experience within relationships and ourselves. I also work with individuals in areas such as: Gender, obsessive food, body, and sexual behaviors, compulsivity, and anxiety related to sexuality, body, and sex. I work with and support people who work in the adult industry, non monogamous folks, kinky people, and people who are navigating their sexualities and identities

Taking the steps to reach out and start therapy takes courage, which has the potential to transform your life. I believe therapy is a profoundly unique space where you have the opportunity to connect, feel deeply listened to and understood, and have another human show up for you emotionally and empathically. In our work, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself, learn to listen and trust your intuition, address patterns in your life, learn tools to self-actualize and sustain your goals, and ultimately, create a more peaceful and fulfilling life unique to you. All of you is welcome here.

My passion, training & expertise is directly focused on helping people create engaging, deeply satisfying relationships. I'm both a Certified Emotionally Focused (EFT) Couples Therapist and Supervisor as well as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. If you are in a relationship fraught with conflict or that is emotionally-barren & unrewarding, or experiencing sexual problems, or perhaps you are single and looking to create a fulfilling relationship, we can schedule a phone or video conf. consult at no charge to discuss your situation further -- visit my website www.fulfilledcouples.com to learn more about my philosophy and training.

When you walk into my office, I want you to feel safe. Maybe you’re experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or ADHD. Maybe you’re polyamorous/open or mono in a poly relationship. Maybe you’re navigating confusing sexual or relational issues. Or maybe you just want to talk about something completely different. Whatever it is, I’m here for it.

I work from a trauma-focused, strengths-based somatic and relational perspective to help you release shame via self-compassion. I view even the coping mechanisms that make us feel the most stuck as examples of our bodies’ incredible resiliency & drive to keep us safe. Within the therapeutic dynamic, I seek to help you identify and unlearn harmful cultural conditioning and, with the courage of authenticity, uncover your own innate wisdom. To me, therapy is a place where we can explore creative self-expression and practice intentional relationship building in order to live more authentic, joyful, and embodied lives.

My practice is devoted to Couples, Sex & Relational Therapy. All Couples experience difficulties during marriage or during long term relationships. Helping Couples work to resolve these conflicts, develop trust & reconnect is the most satisfying work that I do. We commonly address issues of trust, sexual issues, pornography, commitment, infidelity, communication, destructive patterns, stress, parenting, illness, trauma & passion. I work with couples to rekindle the spark, passion and desire that they once had and deepen a strong solid connection. Whatever you and your partners unique issues, my goal is to give you the hope and help to achieve the support & love that you both long for.

Embarking on the journey of healing from trauma requires courage and compassion. In therapy, we'll navigate through the intricate layers of your experiences, gently unraveling the knots that trauma has woven into your life's narrative. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can explore, process, and integrate your past traumas, empowering you to reclaim your sense of self and move forward with renewed strength and resilience. Your healing journey is as unique as your experiences, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's embark on this transformative path towards healing and wholeness together.

Whether you want to rebuild intimacy after an affair, increase your desire for sex, struggle with sexual anxiety while dating, erectile unpredictability, difficulty experiencing an orgasm, or any other sexual issue, I’m here for you.

Life is about connection: to ourselves, our communities, and our relationships. However, with the relentless stress of an increasingly uncertain world, unhealed wounds can be activated, leaving you feeling stuck. Therapy is a useful way to reimagine those connections by exploring, adjusting, and strengthening them. I utilize my background as a performing artist and an integrative approach to help my clients create intimacy in their relationships, implement boundaries, and build resilience. I do this through the use of evidence-based theories, mindfulness, and a playful energy.

Therapy provides us with the opportunity to introspect through a lens of curiosity and acceptance, as opposed to shame and judgment. I support individuals and couples facing barriers to their emotional, relational, and sexual wellbeing to nurture a deeper and more compassionate understanding of themselves and one another.

I specialize in providing culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, poly & kink-friendly, and queer-affirming therapy. My journey as a queer, non-monogamous South Asian neurodivergent woman, along with the experiences of those close to me, deeply shape my approach. I draw on my first-hand knowledge of navigating kink/sex-positive environments. It's important to me to approach therapy with a sense of curiosity and openness so that I can better understand and support my clients.
