PRACTICE AREAS
GMCA New York, led by Jonathan Merker, is dedicated to helping gay men who have survived religious or sexual abuse create meaningful, satisfying, and healthy relationships. As a relational psychoanalytical psychotherapist, Jonathan helps gay men work through both universal and gay-specific issues.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Jonathan works with gay men who have survived any kind of complex trauma, from growing up in religious fundamentalism or conversion programs, to sexual abuse, sexual assault, and more. Jonathan's practice style is rooted in psychoanalytic theory and offers a contemporary approach where client and therapist sit up and talk in an engaged manner. Jonathan frequently offers curiosities, observations, and interpretations as well as guiding direct conversations that facilitate trauma recovery. As a patient, you will come to discover growth and healing through the process of of discussing your most complex truths with another human being in a safe, kind, supportive environment.
