Professional statement

Roscoe Lachey is an LMHC-LP providing individual counseling and psychotherapy to adults in New York. Roscoe has experience working with a wide range of clinical issues, primarily: anxiety/depression, interpersonal difficulties and loneliness, difficulties adjusting to life transitions, minority stress, and crises of identity or life meaning. He has extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, including a diverse array of sexualities, gender identities, and relationship styles, e.g. polyamory, nonmonogamy. Roscoe is passionate about helping queer individuals relate healthily to others in their community, build positive self-images, and live well in a challenging world. Roscoe also takes special professional interest in gender diversity, neurodiversity, and therapy-seekers working in creative professions.

Roscoe takes an integrative approach to psychotherapy that utilizes different theoretical perspectives and techniques tailored to clients’ specific problems and preferences. His practice primarily utilizes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based approaches, which he tempers with an anti-oppressive lens. His therapeutic style aims to achieve an optimal balance between insight development and action taking, as well as between validation and confrontation. Roscoe works well with clients that prefer a collaborative relationship that is both supportive and challenging.

Roscoe has earned masters degrees in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. He completed his clinical internship at the Institute for Human Identity, the nation’s first and longest-running provider of LGBT+ affirmative psychotherapy. His undergraduate background is in the arts and humanities, which makes him particularly knowledgeable about the challenges of sustaining a creative life and/or profession.
