“I’ve been meeting with Matt for about 6 months. His personal warmth and thoughtful attention was immediately comforting. As a queer Latino, it was important that I feel comfortable to share and explore my queer identity, my culture, and how both impact each other. Matt has been a great listener that is able to provide meaningful connections between various conversations and provides gentle guidance to help me embrace all my identities and encourage me to step into my fullness.”

Getting to know Matthew Tratner
As a lifelong NYC resident with over 20 years of experience in education, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals with a particular focus on the unique clinical needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of mental health settings, including hospital programs treating individuals with complex psychological diagnoses, as well as inpatient and outpatient substance use and addiction treatment programs. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in addressing a wide range of mental health and recovery-related challenges.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and solution-focused. I look forward to building meaningful therapeutic relationships with my Therapy Connect NYC clients and supporting them as they work toward their personal goals, improved well-being, and lasting positive change.

I have been seeing Matthew Tratner, LCSW, for about a year, and I can honestly say that working with him has helped me tremendously. He is thoughtful, attentive, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping his clients make meaningful progress.
What I appreciate most about Matthew is that he creates a space that feels both safe and productive. He listens carefully, remembers the details, and helps me look at difficult situations with more clarity and perspective. His approach is supportive without being passive—he helps me feel understood, but also gently challenges me when I need it.
Over the past year, Matthew has been consistent, professional, insightful, and deeply human in his work. I am very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring therapist.

Matt is a wonderful therapist. He's inquisitive and thoughtful. His grounding calm presence has made feel safe during our conversations and in turn allowed me to open up to authenticity I struggled to access before I met him.

Matt has helped me navigate some pretty big changes in my life, both personal and related to my relationships with others. He helped me embrace parts of myself that I’ve kept buried for decades and gave me guidance and the skills to grow in areas I wanted to strengthen.
Matt is personable without losing professionalism, supportive without being pandering, and humorous without being trite. I was able to open up to him, which let me open up to myself and the people that I care about in life.
I am clearer headed about who I am, who I strive to be, and how to be the best person I can be for myself and my partners. While I wish I had started work with him sooner, I am grateful that the universe guided me to him when I needed it the most.
