Monroe Township, New Jersey therapist: Morgan Avis, registered social worker
Feminist

Morgan Avis

Registered Social Worker, LSW
In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identifying folks with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I take an intersectional approach with clients to understand client's varying identities and how they interact with one another to create the client's perception of themselves and the world around them. I also like to utilize Systems therapy, where I examine with clients how they are impacted by the various interconnected systems in their lives, including but not limited to family, work, community, and societal structures. Through these means, I support clients in developing coping strategies and challenge their ways of thinking, so that when they leave my practice, they have strong skillsets in place to utilize even after sessions are completed.

Barbara Gelfand

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania therapist: Shira Collings, licensed professional counselor
Feminist

Shira Collings

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Hi there! My name is Shira Collings (she/they). I am a feminist, neurodiversity affirming, queer and trans affirming, fat affirming, and disability justice aligned therapist. I am passionate about supporting people in living a life that is aligned with their true values, and healing from both external and internalized oppression that may be impacting their well-being. My therapeutic approach is primarily based in person-centered and feminist approaches. This means I strive to create a space in which clients can express their full, authentic selves and share their stories without shame or judgment. I also have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Additionally, I regularly incorporate self-compassion, expressive arts, philosophy and pop culture, and self-advocacy skills into my approach.

Boston, Massachusetts therapist: Sarah Nehdi, LMHC, licensed mental health counselor
Feminist

Sarah Nehdi, LMHC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you're overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference. I know taking the first step to find a therapist isn't easy and I don't take that show of strength lightly! With my (attempted) sense of humor and deep respect for my clients, I hope to create a welcoming space where you can embrace who you are right now and then find ways to transform your life to reflect your best self.

Alexandria, Virginia therapist: Sound Mind Sound Body LLC, psychologist
Feminist

Sound Mind Sound Body LLC

Psychologist, MPsy, PsyD
The concept of Sound Mind Sound Body LLC is based on an Ancient Greek proverb that in order to be truly healthy, one must be healthy in both mind and body-if there is an imbalance, there is less fulfillment in one’s life. My goal is to help you to achieve that balance. There is an obvious emphasis in attaining physical health, and too often, there is less emphasis on the importance of mental health. In particular, how mental health can be impacted by physical health, and how physical health can impact mental health. Whether you experience chronic illness, trauma, identity issues (sexual orientation, ethnicity, the roles we play)-these are all areas that can affect one’s overall health. As a clinical psychologist, I have years of experience working in all these areas and hope to serve you to improve your well being. As someone who also struggles with chronic illness, specifically Crohn's Disease and PSC, my personal experience can also be helpful in improving understanding and treatment. Asking for help is hard, especially when you are in pain or feeling isolated. It's a brave step to reach out for help. I strive to help you find your healthiest self and to improving your quality of life. Feel free to e-mail: drwells@smsb-llc.com
