For the past decade, my goal as a clinician has been to support others with marginalized identities in their journey of healing from trauma and navigating the challenges of daily life.

I specialize in the use of proven, evidence-based treatments to support clients in their recovery from trauma/Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), managing depression, anxiety, other mood disorders.

You aren’t sure where you fit in anymore. You feel like you aren’t good enough and your relationships aren’t the one you want. Life is sometimes difficult, but all you want is to find relief from the shame, anxiety, and feeling like you don’t belong in your family or in your community. You're so tired of this happening over and over and being panicked, stressed, and overwhelmed. As others invalidate you for who you are, your self-doubt and isolation grow. You know you need support or guidance, but figuring out who can be trusted or what will be helpful feels overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

We often have what we need within us to heal, but sometimes anxiety, depression, or internal conflict can get in our way from making the progress that we want to feel. Do you want to wake up on time but depression makes it difficult? Or, are you having difficulty starting or completing projects? Tele-therapy can help you cope with the stressful things in your life, so that you can move forward in how you want to. I can provide virtual therapy to anyone in Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Washington state. I have extensive experience and abundant joy working with folks in the LGBTQ+ & poly/nonmonogamous communities.

I'm Lorenzo Singotti, the Tattooed Therapist! If you're looking for no-nonsense counseling with a down-to-earth therapist, let's connect. We all lose touch with ourselves sometimes, but it's possible to rediscover that wholeness. I'll be your ally on this healing journey, providing a safe space and unwavering support. I'm a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who's worked with diverse clients in outpatient, inpatient, and crisis settings. I specialize in ADHD, addiction, and LGBTQ+ issues. While I have been a good fit for many clients, I find that I work best with teens, young adults, and adults.

Hi I'm Keith, and I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania (LPC) and Florida (LMHC). In life you have two choices- to live like or unlike the person you want to be. It's easy to look around and notice certain parts of your life that do not reflect the way you want to be living. Maybe you feel burdened by difficult emotions like anxiety or depression. Perhaps you're struggling with your identity, relationships or work. It could be that you're going through changes and feel overwhelmed, stressed out or lonely. Whatever the case may be, I'm here to help you find balance and live a life that looks more like the one you want to have.

My experience working with LGBTQ people and clients of various backgrounds in mental health settings has shown me that personal change occurs best through relationships based on trust, and a common purpose. Relationships where you are encouraged to say what’s on your mind, be challenged, take risks, and gain new insights. In our sessions, I will focus on honoring your autonomy as we work towards your goals for therapy. My intention is not to teach you a “correct way to live" but instead to learn what already works for you and help create a space to explore yourself further leading to new possibilities for your life.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you having substance use problems? Are you having trouble with your identity? Difficulty managing emotions? Making changes can be overwhelming, but I am here to guide you through this journey. I will listen and give feedback. We will practice going over different types of techniques in order to improve your daily life and to reach your goals. This is a safe space that is nonjudgmental where you can feel comfortable to be who you are.

I quickly work with my clients to help them develop skills to cope with life challenges, including depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, substance use, grief & loss, and life transitions. I work with clients both short and long-term, depending on each client's needs and interests.

I work most often with people who have been pushed to the margins, including trans, non-binary and queer people, autistic and other neurodivergent people, and people who have survived traumatic events and relationships. I enjoy working with organizers, activists, and artists. I tend to be a good fit for clients experiencing shame, despair, isolation and existential dread.

Hi! I’m Tim Reider! I'm a therapist who specializes in LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, depression/anxiety, and neurodiversity. I work well with people who want the geek therapy approach to support their identity journey and relationships. If your fandoms are an important anchor in your mental health storm, I’m here to respect the whole picture. If you are trans, I can also provide WPATH V8 format referral letters for transition care.

Maybe you're tired of showing up for others in the hopes that they'll show up for you, but they don't reciprocate and you're left feeling drained. You may desire community but the thought of "what if everyone actually hates me?" keeps you lonely and anxious. You might be noticing some shifting in your desires for relationships or sexuality and you're feeling confused and scared. You might even want to cry or hide when thinking about bringing up hard conversations with loved ones about what you truly need. Regardless, you know you want support from an experienced and warm professional who understands that change is hard but worth it.

As a queer woman who practices polyamory, I can understand how we are often unprepared for the difficulties that arise when living in a mononormative society. It makes sense that emotions like fear or depression are brought up when we go outside of those norms, even for the seasoned consensually nonmonogamous folks. Together we can navigate your polyamorous relationship structure if you or you and your partner(s) find yourselves with insecure attachment styles impacting your relationship(s), are having difficulty managing boundaries, or need help dismantling couple's privlege.

West Philly Therapy Center is a group practice that specializes in working with relationship, sexuality and gender related issues. While each of our therapist has their own style and specialty, they are all collectively & actively working from an anti-racist, queer & trans affirming, social justice, and trauma-informed lens. We provide a warm, collaborative and compassionate space for clients to process, explore, grow, and heal. We strive to develop a therapeutic environment of mutual trust, respect and care, where the complexities of each client's experiences and identities are honored.

As your therapist, my goal is to provide a comfortable and safe environment for you to express your feelings and help you gain perspective with challenges you may be facing. My clients learn healthy coping skills and tools to better navigate life's difficult moments. My role is to walk alongside you through this journey to your most empowered and best self. By challenging beliefs and emotions that no longer serve you, in addition to improving intra and interpersonal relationships, personal growth and symptom relief are my goals for you. You are not alone; allow me to help you through challenges and find hope and happiness again.

Trauma can affect anyone over the course of their lifetime. Dealing with difficult feelings and experiences can be challenging, but with the right tools, you can manage your symptoms, reclaim your sense of self, and move toward living your best life. The choice to begin therapy can be the first step toward finding relief. My name is Kelly, and I'd be honored to be your therapist. I strive to view my practice through the lenses of cultural competence, progressive social values, a systems perspective, and the Sanctuary Model, among other theories

I have been a psychologist for over 20 years. I place a strong emphasis in developing a good rapport and working alliance with clients. I use interventions that are strongly supported by scientific evidence, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. I work with teens and young adults to help treat depression and anxiety symptoms, and help patients develop coping skills to manage other stressors associated with difficult life transitions. I also have 20+ years of experience in working with individuals with diverse backgrounds, including racial and ethnic minority individuals, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ communities.

I am a feminist, LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, eclectic neuro-psychotherapist, and my style is casual and saturated with humor. I am a licensed professional counselor, nationally certified counselor, PMH-C perinatal mental health certified specialist (pregnancy & postpartum), and an ADHD-CCSP, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider. My approaches are flexible and person specific, but I use client centered therapy, feminist therapy, behavioral neuroscience research, skill building, parts work, and other techniques as needed. I am currently only accepting new ADULT clients, no new children and adolescents at this time.
