Practice Information

We believe that we grow, heal and thrive in relationships, and that therapy is more than a transaction. Amanecer Counseling centers therapists and clients who want to participate in a care ecology- a small system that values the relationships between and within communities working to heal.

Amanecer, in español, means dawn or new day. Therapists who have created Amanecer Counseling believe that we each have many horizons throughout our lifetimes and when we work in collaboration - we can experience profound change inside ourselves and our relationships.

Thriving and reaching for joy and connection is difficult due to oppression, experiences of trauma and early life attachment wounds. As queer and trans people we may find that we are reaching for change within ourselves and our lives over and over again and often without the role models, mirrors or future selves to guide us.

How does payment work at your practice?

At Amanecer Counseling, we are in-network with Aetna of New York State, and we provide direct support to clients who would like to use their out-of-network benefits. We use Thrizer as a service to bill for all out-of-network reimbursements.

If you are paying out of pocket, our fee ecology ranges from $75-250 depending on income, access to wealth and resources, and interest in participation in the Fee Ecology that we have created to support lower-income clients and increase access to care.
