About Me

Shane Becker, LCSW is a psychotherapist in New York with over 10 years of experience. A graduate of NYU’s Silver School of Social Work, he has worked throughout the five Burroughs with a wide range of clients specializing in gay men and “nontraditional” relationships.

“My focus is to be a compassionate guide and partner on your journey. You are the expert in your life and I will honor that in assisting you in reaching your goals. I work psychodynamically, pulling from various therapeutic modalities as fits your specific situation. Therapy isn’t a cookie cutter, we’ll make a plan unique to you.”

“I specialize in supporting the LGBTQ community through the complexities of life transitions, trauma, relationship issues (open? poly? I got you) as well as the nuances of anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental health issues. Through my experience I have gained a deep understanding of diverse identities and work to create a safe space for exploration and healing. I will always honor your experience, and challenge you in compassionate but real ways.”
