A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You deserve a space where you can explore who you are without feeling like you have to explain, minimize, or defend yourself. I provide affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ clients navigating concerns such as identity, relationships, self-esteem, family dynamics, boundaries, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact of rejection or difficult past experiences. Therapy can be a place to untangle other people’s expectations from your own wants and needs, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and explore what living authentically means to you. My goal is to provide a supportive space where every part of you is welcome and you can feel empowered to build a life and relationships that feel genuine to who you are.

Nick Sotor
Psychologist, PsyD
I operate from lens of decolinization and anti-racism that informs the way I view, relate, and treat all people, including those within the LQBTQ community. I provide a non-judgemental space to talk about all aspects of sexual and gender identity and tend to conceptualize stress and suffering around sexual identity as a product of living within a homophobic/transphobic society rather than a function of internal pathology.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
I provide affirming therapy for lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults and couples, with particular experience addressing sexuality, relationships, intimacy, identity, coming out, family dynamics, and self-acceptance. My approach is sex-positive and nonjudgmental, and I welcome diverse relationship structures and expressions of sexuality. While I provide an affirming environment for people of all gender identities, gender transition and transgender-specific concerns are not currently areas of specialization in my practice.

Todd Davenport
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA in Counseling Psychology
Being gay often means learning early to monitor what you reveal, and that habit can linger into adulthood as constant self-scrutiny or a drive to prove yourself. I’m a gay man, and I offer a space where that vigilance can ease. We can work on coming out, family relationships, dating and partnership, or simply who you are now, at your own pace.

Caitlin Fountain
Psychologist, PsyD
Being LGBTQIA+ identified can shape how you experience relationships, navigate the world, and come to understand yourself, sometimes in ways that are difficult to untangle. I offer affirming, nonjudgmental therapy where you can explore your identity, make sense of how past experiences and interactions with others have shaped your self-perception, and question beliefs you may have internalized along the way. Together, we’ll build insight into the patterns that influence your life, strengthen your connection to yourself, and make room for a way of living that feels authentic to you.

LGBTQ+ couples face all the usual relationship challenges, plus the added stress of being misunderstood, judged, or navigating systems that weren’t built with you in mind. I provide a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to explain who you are before we get to the work of healing, growing, or reconnecting.

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.

Becca Morris
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
You accept who you are, mostly at least, but when you show up in the world, you wonder if it's safe to be who you really are and whether others will accept you. You may feel frustrated or hurt by experiences with discrimination or oppression. Therapy for LGBTQ+ can't erase the pain that you've experienced from stigma or judgment, but it can give you a space to process your emotions openly.

Kristina Risola
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, CRC, NBC-HWC
If you are autistic, neurodivergent, and/or LGBTQIA+ and tired of therapy that feels designed for everyone but you, we might click. I'm an autistic therapist who supports fellow neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ adults through trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, and the day-to-day challenges of navigating a world that feels incompatible with who we are. By exploring your unique experiences, communication style, and ways of relating to the world, I aim to create a space where you can drop the mask, heal what pains you, and discover what it means to be unapologetically yourself.

Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
You don’t need therapy where you’re educating your therapist on the basics of your identity — you need one where you can actually get support. I work primarily with LGBTQ+ folx, especially trans and nonbinary clients, navigating identity exploration, dysphoria, relationships, and the stress of existing in systems that weren’t built with you in mind. This is a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, explain yourself, or brace for weird reactions. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in who you are, build self-trust, and move through the world with a little more clarity and a lot less second-guessing.
I also provide gender-affirming surgery letters through a collaborative, non-gatekeeping process, so you can access the care you need without unnecessary barriers or hoops to jump through.
