Jamie Drooz
Welcome! I am a queer trans nonbinary masters-level therapist in NY. My beginnings as a therapist took place in a community integrated health clinic where I had the privilege of supporting folks from marginalized & oppressed communities. I am currently in private practice and specialize in working with people in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, are navigating complex trauma, and/or are themselves in a healing profession. My practice is relational, affirming, culturally responsive, attuned and rooted in trauma-informed, justice & collective liberation-oriented values. I integrate experiential/bottom-up therapeutic approaches (i.e. coherence therapy, IFS, somatic practices, etc) with top-down approaches (i.e. ACT & DBT). You are the expert on your own journey, and I am here to support you at the pace that feels right for you and offer guidance when invited to do so. Folks that choose to partner with me typically share that they experience me as nonjudgemental, curious, conscientious, collaborative, compassionate & empathetic, appropriately challenging, and creative. My hopes are to co-create therapeutic relationships where therapy participants deepen their connection with themselves (past, present & future), others and the world around them in whichever way feels uniquely meaningful to them.
