About Coleman

Coleman Kraus, LMSW is a trans masc, nonbinary, neurodiverse therapist based in New York City. In treatment and training, they centralize themes of neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ identities, trauma, and eating disorders.


Coleman Kraus, LMSW works with clients who have complex histories, woven patterns, and who may even be ambivalent about life itself. They work together with clients to deepen understanding of the roots and functions of symptoms through exploration of meaning making, skill building, and attuned work with the nervous system.

Coleman has seen and lived through these changes and this healing. It is possible. It takes time but is life altering. Humor, slowness, and the presently obscure all weave together to create a foundation of safety and exploration of self. I believe in your ability to heal.

Before receiving their Masters of Social Work from the Boston University School of Social Work, Coleman trained as a Reiki Therapist and Spiritual Counselor.

Coleman has received training in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), polyvagal theory, mindfulness and meditation, and providing LGBTQ+ informed and affirming care.
