Lex Curry - LCSW

Hey there, I’m Lex. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and trauma therapist based in New York City. I’m queer, transgender, chronically ill, and autistic. I specialize in working with folks with stigmatized behaviors and identities or who are otherwise mistreated and ignored in traditional mental health settings.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you’re learning to safely unmask your neurodivergent self, exploring your gender identity or sexuality, examining your substance use, or navigating non-traditional relationship structures like ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, BDSM, or queerplatonic dynamics, I’d love to work with you!

My therapeutic approach is, above all else, strengths-based and person-centered. You are the expert in your own experience and what you need. You can expect our first few sessions to focus on: 1) clarifying what you’d like to get out of therapy; 2) mapping out your strengths, ways of coping, and support system, and; 3) identifying what you need to confidently move forward in treatment. How we achieve these objectives together is up to you – I enjoy using art projects, meditation, bodywork, and color-coded checklists.

My special interests include HIV/AIDS activism, plants, animals, slime ASMR, and many types of art.
