You've gotten really good at holding it together.
That's a skill, not a life. Full Color is depth therapy for LGBTQ+ adults in New York — EMDR-trained trauma work paired with positive psychology, working toward a version of your life that isn't just managed. It's lived, in full color.
No pressure, no pitch — just a conversation about what's actually going on.
You don't have to translate yourself here.
A lot of therapy asks you to do two jobs at once: be in the room, and also explain the room you came from. Here, the queer and trans context is just — understood. Session one starts at your actual life, not a glossary, not the coming-out story you've told a hundred times, not your identity standing in for the whole agenda.
That fluency isn't the point of the work. It's what makes the real work possible — the goals you're actually here for, reachable faster because nothing's getting lost in translation.
Some things don't stay in the past.
A tone of voice. A particular kind of silence. A text that takes too long to get answered. Some experiences don't get filed away the way they're supposed to — so years later, your body reacts like it's happening again, even when your mind knows better.
The work is helping your brain finish processing what it couldn't finish at the time, so the memory stays yours instead of running the show. It's called EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — and Alex is EMDR-trained through an EMDRIA-approved training program. It's a structured, well-researched approach, not a trend — an excellent tool that happens to have a terrible name.
Joy isn't where you start. It's where this is headed.
Most therapy marketing leads with what's wrong with you. We think that's backwards. Positive psychology asks a second question alongside the hard one — not just what's broken, but what would actually make this life worth living, for you specifically.
That's the throughline here: EMDR clears out what's in the way. Positive psychology points toward what's on the other side. Not relentless positivity — a real, structured practice of building toward a life in full color, at whatever pace actually fits your nervous system.
Joy is the destination, not the entry point.
Depth you don't have to take on faith.
I'm Alex Conway, LMHC — a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I trained at Brown University and George Washington University, and I'm EMDR-trained through an EMDRIA-approved program. Before private practice, I did crisis counseling with The Trevor Project and LGBTQ+ advocacy work with the ACLU. I'm also a published author on identity and psychology.
None of that is theoretical for me, either — I've lived in queer community my whole adult life. Read the full story →
Straightforward, and worth it.
New client sessions are $395, held over secure video, out-of-network for New York residents. A superbill comes with every session, and many PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of that after deductible.
For concentrated work in a shorter window, EMDR intensives are available by quote. And if you're outside New York, or what you need isn't clinical work, coaching is a separate, non-clinical offer — no diagnosis, no trauma processing, just structured work toward what's next.
