Jonathan “Lando” Adams (They/Them/Theirs)

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State, Clinical Director and Founder of Inquire Within Therapy Services, and previously was an inpatient Hospital Social Worker in New York Health and Hospital system. I've spent my career working with people in the hardest moments of their lives, and I bring that same steadiness to private practice.


My specialty is trauma. I'm EMDRIA-trained in EMDR and offer it three ways: individual sessions, group EMDR, and EMDR intensives for people who want to move through the work faster than weekly therapy allows. I'm also polyvagal-trained, which means we pay attention to what your nervous system is doing, not just what your thoughts are saying. When it fits, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep the work practical and goal-oriented.


I provide culturally responsive care for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, and I'm poly- and kink-affirming. You won't have to explain or defend your relationships, your identity, or how you live to be taken seriously here.


I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD and CPTSD, relationship issues, workplace stress, and identity concerns.


Treatment is built around you, not a template. My job is to create a space where you feel safe enough to do real work, and then to do it alongside you. I'm honored to be part of that process.

Award Winning Passion

Influencing Legislation

Prior to graduate school, I worked with low-income clients in a financial vocational rehabilitation organization, assisting them in applying for SNAP, utility, and housing benefits. I co-produced the award-winning LISTEN campaign, which provided a platform for dialogue on whiteness, mattering, and belonging.

Following graduation of my Masters, I continued my advocacy work as a Community Engagement Manager at the Pride Foundation. I played a significant role in the repeal of Alaska’s anti-trans Proposition 1 and supported LGBTQIA+ scholars and organizations throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.

Rooted in Community

Rooted in Community

Over the past few years, I have made New York my home and worked within middle and high school systems as a certified school social worker. I am dedicated to offering support to individuals who share identities similar to mine. In other areas of the East Coast, I've provided vocational rehabilitation services to youth aged 17-26, aiming to bridge the opportunity gap for BIPOC adolescents.
