We provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity development, relationships, family dynamics, mental health concerns, and the impact of stigma or discrimination.

Our clinicians create a space where clients can show up fully and authentically—without needing to educate, defend, or minimize their experiences. We support adolescents and adults exploring coming out, self-acceptance, gender identity, intimacy, grief, faith-related conflict, and resilience in the face of marginalization.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where identity can be explored slowly and honestly in the therapy room. Our work will pay attention to the unconscious ways your history, culture, and lived experiences shape how you understand yourself in the world. Therapy becomes a place to make meaning of what has been carried quietly, soften internal conflict, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
Sexual orientation and gender roles are core aspects of who we are, shaping how we experience ourselves and relate to others. Exploring and accepting these parts of your identity can be complex, influenced by personal experiences, societal expectations, and internalized stigma. My therapy offers a safe, affirming space to explore your identity, confront challenges, and work toward living authentically.
We focus on self-acceptance, helping you understand and articulate your sexual orientation and gender identity while addressing societal pressures that may cause shame or confusion. Therapy also supports your relationships, guiding you in setting boundaries, expressing yourself, and fostering connections that honor your identity.
Through this work, clients often experience increased confidence, reduced shame, and a stronger sense of self, leading to greater fulfillment and authentic living. My approach is empathetic, affirming, and client-centered, drawing on extensive experience with LGBTQ+ issues to help you embrace your strengths and navigate your journey with confidence.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work with LGBTQ+ individuals in psychotherapy, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore and embrace their authentic selves. I understand the unique challenges they may face, such as issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, navigating relationships, and experiences of discrimination. By using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I help clients address these concerns while affirming their identity and experiences. I custom tailor therapy to meet each person where they are at, recognizing and valuing their individual history and circumstances. Whether it's processing feelings of uncertainty, building self-esteem, or developing strategies to handle discrimination, my goal is to support clients in living fully and confidently as their true selves, empowering them to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Sexual orientations and identities are an integral part of the lens through which we experience the world around us. As human beings are social creatures, emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to others are a common experience for us all. However, in an oftentimes heteronormative society, understanding and exploring what it means to be attracted to someone of the same sex, gender, or identity vector can be a confusing process. For some, trying to navigate the differences between romantic and sexual attractions might be a novel process as we are often taught to place emphasis largely on sexual compatibility. Even further, some might find that they are interested in folks from several sexual or gender identities in different ways. Whichever scenario is applicable to you, the clinicians at PCT firmly believe that having a safe space for this exploration is essential to figuring out what feels right for you and the relationships you wish to curate.
Additionally, navigating the “coming out” process can be its own challenge; much like other identity vectors, sexual orientation is greatly influenced by race, cultural background, ethnic group, religion, political identity, and ability status. The “coming out” process is not a linear process and we want to support you wherever you might be on your sexual identity journey. To that end, we at PCT highly respect each identity represented on the LBGTQIA+ spectrum. Each letter holds incredible weight by representing its own unique community of people with their own unique set of challenges. We want you to rest assured that, regardless of which LGBTQIA+ identity you hold, our clinicians are ready to provide you with affirming care as fierce advocates and allies of all sexual and gender identities.
Lastly, we know that for those coming in for couples therapy, there are a myriad of similarities and differences between those of LGBTQIA+ couples and straight couples. In this type of work, we remain open to exploring whichever issues seem most pressing to the couple. Depending on your relationship and personal history, you might find that there are several different areas you may wish to explore with your partner as you seek to bolster your relationship. Some examples of these are, and are not limited to, the following: navigating sexual identity changes mid-relationship, exploring LGBTQIA+ parenthood, coming out difficulties, sexual intimacy issues, examining relational trauma, and exploring polyamory. Regardless of your presenting concern, we look forward to working with you and joining you on your journey to continued self-discovery.

I am a gender-affirming and queer-affirming therapist, and promote openness and acceptance in my practice. I greatly enjoy working with queer and gender-expansive clients, and strive to create a space where individuals can feel safe, seen, and celebrated in their identities.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community can bring incredible strength and resilience—but it can also come with unique challenges. Even as acceptance grows, discrimination, judgment, and pressure to conform still impact daily life and mental health.
Whether you’re coming out, exploring your gender or sexual identity, navigating family dynamics, considering non-monogamy, raising children, or aging in a world that doesn’t always understand—you're not alone. These experiences can bring up anxiety, depression, shame, or isolation, and you don’t have to carry that alone.
Therapy offers a space to talk openly about identity, sex, relationships, and health—including informed sexual decision-making and options like PrEP—without fear of judgment.
You deserve affirming care that respects who you are and supports where you want to go. Together, we can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with your values.

Janet LeMoal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CASAC (NYS)
Our country is rolling back equal rights for the Queer community, and dealing with the emotions that come with that can be scary and overwhelming. In therapy with me, we can talk through the challenges of living in a world that often feels unsafe or unaccepting. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore your identity, feel seen and validated, and build the resilience you need to navigate external pressures. My goal is to help you feel empowered, affirmed, and grounded—no matter what’s happening around you.
