Les Waite

Sometimes talking to someone who understands what you’re going through and speaks your language can make all the difference. As a clinical psychologist and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I understand the issues that can arise regarding identity, self-esteem, health and safety, and concerns regarding sexual and gender identity. I have worked extensively with members of the LQBTQIA+ community and provide gender-affirming care for members of that community who seek counseling. My areas of focus involve the treatment of addictive disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression-related issues. I have extensive experience in the treatment of military Veterans and persons experiencing addiction, both chemical and behavioral, with a strong focus on Gambling Disorder and Compulsive Sexual Behavior. Sessions are held over Telehealth from anywhere in New York. I offer a free, initial consultation session that will give us the opportunity to get to know each other better, to discuss what your needs are, and how I may be able to meet those needs. Change begins today, and I am here to help. Call or text me at 518-414-5563 and let's talk! Les Waite, Psy.D. Van Buren Counseling, LLC
