Self Embrace Therapy
Virtual Therapy in New York
Private Practice of Maureen Sharp (She/Her), LMHC
“One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others”
Welcome!
Hello, I’m Maureen.
Every part of you is welcome here. I offer virtual therapy throughout New York State, providing a safe, queer-affirming space where you can express yourself freely and feel truly understood.
As a PhD candidate in counseling and a licensed therapist, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, college students, and adults. My approach integrates somatic practices, emotion-focused therapy, and psychodynamic techniques to offer you personalized, holistic support. Whether you're exploring your queer identity or navigating life transitions, want to deepen relationships, break free from limiting patterns, or heal from anxiety, trauma, or depression, we’ll work together to find clarity, resilience, and growth.
At the heart of my approach is the belief that human connection is the grounding force that allows us to be seen, understood, and supported. Through compassionate and affirming care, I specialize in sexual and gender diversity as well as ethical non-monogamy, supporting the queer community in building fulfilling and authentic lives.
Ready to start? I invite you to contact me for a free consultation!
Find Healing and Support with Therapy
I believe in the power of vulnerability and the beauty of embracing your true self. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover the beliefs shaping your life, and work toward meaningful change. You don’t have to face these challenges alone—I'm here to offer compassionate, non-judgmental support on your journey to wellness.
I am Passionate About Working with the Queer Community
As a queer therapist licensed in New York, I specialize in sexual and gender diversity to better support individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
In our work together, I’ll help you gain deeper self-understanding, strengthen your relationships, and foster self-acceptance. I also prioritize affordable care, offering sliding scale slots and connecting you to free community resources and low-fee therapy groups when available.
