Nick Fager is an LGBTQ psychotherapist practicing in New York. He is also the coordinator for LGBTQ services at the Kull Initiative for Psychotherapy, and he runs a support group for gay men struggling with dating app addictions called Grindr’ed Down.

“It’s for people who are recognizing that apps are not fulfilling them, yet are having a really hard time changing themselves,” Fager tells Out.

One of Fager’s other projects is an Instagram page @gaytherapy, which he created last October. The page features inspiration quotes, educational videos, and powerful first-person narratives from LGBTQ people of all walks of life. The stories range from heartbreaking to hopeful, and each one serves as a reminder to keep your head up, think positively, and live the best life you can.
