Let Me Guide You to Healing and Growth

Psychotherapy is about healing, transformation, and growth. It takes commitment and courage. Having someone you trust to guide you through the change process can make all the difference. A genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take an honest look at your feelings, your thoughts about yourself, and your relationships with others, removing the barriers to a healthy and fulfilled life. I would like to go on this journey with you. Together, we can address the obstacles to a happy and fulfilling life.

All are welcome in my practice, individuals of all genders and orientation, all races, faiths, and backgrounds!

Specializing in
LGBTQ+ Issues

As a gay therapist in NYC, I offer expertise in treating the LGBTQ+ community, addressing all issues around sexuality, and providing help with sexual orientation and identity. I have a special place in my heart for the health and well-being of gay men.

My approach blends various experiential dynamic therapies such as Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

What my clients say

  • "I have worked with Volker for two years and in those two years he has never failed to be a profound source of support in every aspect of my life. I have had experiences with many other therapists, but no one compares to the level of care, insight, and genuine kindness that Volker provides. He has been so well trained to deal with any subjects and is especially knowledgeable about LGBT issues. He has guided me through so many challenging times and has never failed to help me find answers within myself. I truly cannot express the value of my work with Volker or the respect and appreciation I have for him."
