Michele Quiles, MHC-LP | Relational and Psychoanalytic Therapy NYC

Therapy for individuals in the NY and NYC area.

You are tired of venting to those who minimize your complaints about the unfair ways society functions. You are looking for someone to see your many layers, and don’t want to waste time explaining your politics. You want to be understood.

I’m Michele, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that no one struggles with anything in singularity.

I’m a New York City psychotherapist and 4th gen New Yorker from Queens, offering relational and psychoanalytic therapy to adults, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ clients, leftists, BPD, relationships, identity, and the ways capitalism and other social forces affect our mental health.

Relational & Psychoanalytic Therapy in New York City

I provide in-depth talk psychotherapy. I believe change comes from perspective change. Genuine perspective change.

If you could “amazon prime” your trauma away, you would not have sought out therapy. I don’t believe in “quick fixes” for complex mental health problems.

Politically informed Therapy in NYC

Therapy for Internalized Capitalism NYC

I provide therapy for activists, and those that are being crushed under the weight of jobs they don’t care about. I provide therapy to those who are tired of pretending that all of this is normal. Isolating and exhausting, isn’t it? Therapy for internalized capitalism.

Therapy for Leftists and Activists in New York City

If you are a leftist in NYC I provide a radical space in New York City where your political anxiety is not pathologized. I offer dedicated therapy for leftists, activists, and organizers in New York City.

Socioeconomic Trauma NYC

I support clients who are tired of venting to therapists that don’t get why the bankruptcy your family filed for has torn your family apart—or why the first of the month is an existential threat.

Gender & Sexuality Therapy in NYC

LGBTQ+ & Gender-Affirming Therapy in NYC

I work with queer clients and those expanding their understanding of their sexuality. I work with those in transition, those who are narrowing and expanding their gender- those who are celebrating their gender- and those who are suffering under “Gender”

Sexuality & Sex Therapy NYC

Sex is often a neglected topic in therapy and yet it can be critical to understanding you. You deserve a space to discuss trauma, masturbation, kink, pleasure, poly, or whatever else.

Trauma Therapy & Therapy for “Defensive Organizations” that are over-staying their welcome

Trauma Therapy in NYC

Trauma, even if it occurred long ago or in your present, has cascading effects on your ability to show up in the world, make changes, or break out of problematic patterns.

BPD Therapy & Personality Disorder Support in NYC

If you live with BPD aka borderline personality disorder you might experience sudden, exhausting shifts between idealizing someone and feeling completely devalued by them this is known as “splitting”.

People Pleasing Therapy in NYC

Dependence is good. Too much is dysfunctional. I provide therapy for those that almost cannot function without their partner, twin, dog, whatever.
