Remington Yhap, a 47-year-old therapist specializing in LGBTQ+ mental health and alternative sexual practices, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old transgender patient during a session at his Manhattan office earlier this summer. The alleged incident occurred on June 15 at Liberation Psychotherapy’s Midtown location, where Yhap provided therapy focused on topics including depression, kink, non-monogamy, polyamory, and sex work.

Court documents filed in connection with the case indicate that the patient had been under Yhap’s care since September 2025 and continued treatment until July 2026. Authorities have suggested there may be additional victims, though further details have not been disclosed publicly.

Yhap’s online biography and the Liberation Psychotherapy website describe his professional focus as encompassing LGBTQ+ mental health and sexual wellness. The site emphasizes his dedication to creating a "safe, nurturing environment" for clients, particularly those exploring nontraditional relationship dynamics and sexual identities.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office is currently investigating the allegations. Yhap has not made a public statement regarding the charges. No additional information has been released about the potential presence of other victims or the broader scope of the investigation.

The case highlights ongoing concerns around therapist misconduct, particularly in specialized fields addressing sensitive aspects of identity and sexuality. Mental health professionals and regulatory bodies frequently underscore the importance of clear ethical boundaries and safeguards to protect vulnerable clients.

Officials continue to urge anyone with relevant information or experiences related to Yhap’s conduct to come forward as the inquiry develops.
