Michele Quiles, MHC-LP | Relational and Psychoanalytic Therapy NYC
Therapy for individuals in the NY and NYC area.
I’m Michele, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that no one struggles with anything in singularity.
I’m a New York City psychotherapist 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.
Socioeconomic Trauma & 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.
I offer therapy for those who have endured great socioeconomic trauma and have political anxiety. 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.
Therapy for Leftists and Activists in New York City
If you are a leftist in NYC looking for therapy, you might feel completely overwhelmed by the state of the world. Finding politically affirming care is deeply important to your healing. I provide a dedicated, radical space in New York City where your political anxiety is validated, helping you navigate activist burnout without pathologizing your response to systemic oppression.
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? I offer dedicated therapy for leftists, activists, and organizers in New York City.
BPD Therapy& Personality Disorder Support in NYC
Splitting is a common defense mechanism where your mind thinks in black-and-white ways about people, relationships, and the world. If you live with BPD, you might experience sudden, exhausting shifts between idealizing someone and feeling completely devalued by them.
These cycles can make it incredibly hard to maintain stable relationships or hold down employment—which is usually what motivates people to seek treatment. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space in New York City to help you navigate these patterns and find stability.
Boundary Setting and 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. If you feel you are excessively dependent , have people pleasing tendencies and want to become more confident, I offer a supportive space in New York City to help you navigate this.
LGBTQ+ & Gender-Affirming Therapy in NYC
I enjoy working with individuals in transition, those who are gender nonconforming, those who are narrowing and expanding their gender- those who are celebrating their gender- and those who are suffering under “Gender”
I love working with queer clients, LGBTQ+ clients, and those coming to terms with their sexuality, or other struggles.
Sexuality and Sex Therapy NYC
Sex is often a neglected topic by many therapists- and yet it is so important. I would hope that you become comfortable enough and I earn your trust so that you can discuss stigmatized subjects comfortably in therapy, like: sex, trauma, masturbation, kink, poly, or whatever else in your therapy sessions.
I provide therapy to those struggling with romantic relationships, or even with the relationship they have with themselves.
