Daniella Acker, LMSW

I am a Brooklyn-based therapist. I specialize in the LGBTQ+ community, issues surrounding sex and sexuality, and trauma. 

In my work as a therapist, I am engaged, curious, gentle, and direct. I deeply believe in the power of creating a safe space for you to name the difficult parts of your internal world, particularly the thoughts and feelings that might have previously been left unsaid. 

My work is rooted in social justice—part of our work together will be learning to navigate and understand the systems we exist in together. I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples of all genders and sexualities.
