Therapist
Lola Argiró
Virtual EMDR and Talk Therapy
Hi, I’m Lola (LMSW) - (she/her/they/ella/elle) I’m a neurodivergent affirming, queer identifying therapist who believes therapy should be accessible, trauma-focused, and should help people lead lives that interest and challenge them. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in social justice with an emphasis on exploration through learning and storytelling.
I believe that everyone is an expert on their own lives and that clients are best supported when they are engaged in shaping their therapeutic experiences and I offer virtual therapy throughout New York State & I’m in-network with Aetna Student Health insurance.

Neurodivergent Individuals: Supporting you in understanding and embracing your neurodivergence, using strengths-based approaches.
Queer/Trans/GNC Individuals: Offering a safe, affirming space to explore your identity and navigate related challenges.

Disabled Individuals: Focusing on both physical and intellectual disabilities, providing compassionate and informed care.
Relationships: Supporting individuals in a variety of relationship structures (polyamory ENM/CNM etc.) to foster healthy, fulfilling connections.
My Approach To Therapy
Person-Centered: You are the expert on your life, and our time in therapy is shaped by your unique needs and goals.

Mindfulness-Based: Incorporating mindfulness practices to enhance your emotional well-being.
