Jay Pulitano, LCSW
Our world can so often be judgmental and alienating, especially to those whose identities fall outside of the social norm. In my practice, I take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach with the aim of creating a warm environment where clients feel seen and heard. My approach is a collaborative, interactive process, as I view clients as the experts of their own lives.
I am passionate about supporting clients who are struggling with issues of shame, self-esteem, interpersonal boundaries, relationships and intimacy, oppression, gender and other identity transitions, and trauma. I practice from an anti-racist/-transphobic/-ableist/-oppressive, Health At Every Size (HAES), and poly- and kink-affirming perspective.
I’m in network with commercial plans (not Medicaid/Medicare) for Aetna, Anthem/Highmark BCBS, and Quest Behavioral Health and will soon also be taking Optum (United Healthcare, Oscar, and Oxford). I’m currently exclusively working with Telehealth clients residing in NY.
