Meet Bridget
Welcome! My name is Bridget (they/them). I hope to share more of my salient identities with clients as we get to know each other. I am a licensed social worker with a background in sex therapy and trauma studies. I also have experience working as an abortion doula with Choices Center for Reproductive Health in Memphis, TN. Prior to my work at TCP, I worked with assaulted-injured youth at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) Violence Intervention Program, as well as with transgender youth at CHOP’s Gender and Sexuality Development Clinic. Though formal education is important, I want to acknowledge that who I am as a therapist is also shaped by my friends, community, family, art, music, literature, and the natural world around me.
I am excited to co-create therapeutic relationships in which I am an active facilitator and collaborator. I am conscious of how myriad systems impact my life and my clients’ lives, especially in today’s world; because of this, I believe that spaces to experiment, practice, and challenge oneself are more important than ever. I am particularly interested in helping people get curious about how the body/bodymind is impacted by life’s experiences. My approach as a therapist is direct, creative, and collaborative. I believe that warmth and humor are important parts of how I show up authentically in the therapeutic space. My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic, relational, and attachment-based. I also have experience providing prolonged exposure therapy for clients experiencing PTSD.
I center clients who have experienced or live with trauma, chronic illness, family of origin concerns, and community-based violence, as well as people who want to explore identity areas such as gender, sexuality (including kink), and disability.
