Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from oneself or from relationships can be exhausting, especially while navigating chronic stress, systemic inequities, and the pressure to keep going. If you’re here, something within you is open to support and ready to change. Gary Dillon, PhD, is a licensed psychologist and Black male therapist based in New York City. He is the founder of Ally Psychological Therapy, a psychotherapy practice serving adults in NYC and across New York State via telehealth. Dr. Dillon provides trauma-informed, culturally responsive online therapy and works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, relationship challenges, work stress, and the emotional impact of racism, marginalization, and discrimination. Many of his clients identify as people of color, immigrants, first-generation professionals, or members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and are seeking therapy that feels affirming, grounded, and real. His approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, relational, and evidence-based therapies while remaining responsive to each client’s lived experience. Together, he and his clients explore patterns, unresolved experiences, and present-day challenges in ways that build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful change. Therapy with Dr. Dillon is not about fixing or performing; it is about creating space where clients can show up fully, without code-switching, minimizing, or shrinking. For those seeking a Black therapist in NYC who offers thoughtful, engaged, and culturally attuned care, Dr. Dillon would be honored to provide support
