I am a Marriage & Family Therapist with over 2+ years of providing therapy to diverse populations in Philadelphia. I use creativity, humor, and spirituality to guide my very laid back and conversational style of therapy. I specialize in POC, woman identifying, and queer affirming therapy that makes space for marginalized identities to feel rooted in authenticity and challenged on ideologies/perspectives that keep them stuck.

Hi, I’m Gabrielle (they/all)! I am a graduate student at Widener University earning both a Master’s in Social Work and a Master’s in Education, focusing on Human Sexuality Studies.

I approach therapy from a lens of humility, creativity, mindfulness, and humor. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and through empathetic listening and skills-building, I hope to support you on your journey of healing and fulfillment as you define it. As a person with access to different structural privileges and experiences of marginalization, in my practice I strive to question my own relationships to whiteness, colonization, and other systems of power.

Though I am excited to work with and learn from all my clients, regardless of identity, I have a particular interest in working with people who are 2SLGBTQIA+, polyamorous/non-monogamous, kinky, neurodivergent, artists, or sex workers. I am also excited to work with people who experience anxiety, dysphoria, eating disorders, and who are sexually marginalized.

I look forward to building connections with you and co-creating the therapy experience you want to have!

Hi! My name is Nicole Banales (she/her): I am a Mexican-American, queer, temporarily able-bodied, cisgender woman. I am a graduate of Bryn Mawr’s Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research.

Through growing up in a bordertown between Mexico and the US, I embrace questions of identity and belonging, especially around culture and sexuality. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Spanglish. Prior to TCP, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence and within the immigrant community in Philadelphia in case management and organizing work. I believe that the personal is political and that there is much work to be done to provide access to therapy that is affordable, honoring a person’s culture, and in a person’s preferred language.

My work as a therapist and social worker focuses on a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic lens. I incorporate harm-reduction, trauma-informed care, and relationship-building into my practice. I also embrace dream work as a form of understanding our unconscious and ancestral parts.

Hi! My name is Miles (they/them), and I am a graduate student earning my Master’s of Social Work degree at West Chester University. I have spent several years working with adults experiencing homelessness and substance use disorders, and I currently work in HIV services as a case manager.

I am a white, queer, transmasculine, and nonbinary person. I invite you to ask about my other identities as we get to know each other. I strive to be attentive to how oppressive systems of power and privilege inform our experiences and shape our identities.

I approach therapy from a place of compassion, warmth, patience, collaboration, and creativity. As I learn more about therapeutic practices, I hope to co-create an affirming space where you feel safe exploring whatever comes up. I am excited to work with people who have experience with chronic illness, disability, and substance use, as well as those who identify as trans, GNC, non-binary, and/or queer. Whatever brings you to therapy, I am honored to work with you!

Hi! My name is Molly Strange (she/her). I’m a white, cisgender, gay and currently non-disabled licensed social worker. I see therapy as a liberatory tool that can connect us with ourselves and each other amidst the isolation of systemic and interpersonal violence. My primary objective as a clinician is building safety in our relationship. My clinical practice is relational, oriented by attachment theory, trauma-informed and collaborative.  I approach therapeutic relationships with commitments to harm reduction and anti-racist practice. I like to facilitate sessions with warmth, humor and curiosity.

I center queer people, young people, survivors of intimate partner violence, people who experience psychosis and people who have been impacted by trauma. I also enjoy working with people who are exploring various aspects of their identity including gender, sexuality and ability. I have worked in the psychiatric hospital setting, the UArts Counseling Center and with tenants experiencing housing insecurity. I live and love in Philly! I can’t wait to meet you.

As a therapist I am interested in the ways therapy can be used as a tool for transformative change for individuals and communities. I view talk therapy as one of many tools people can use to pursue healing and connectedness, and am interested in other such tools, including: music, movement, plants and nature, ritual, art, food, community, connection to ancestors, spirituality, magic, and justice work. I hold a Master of Social Work, and have a background in gender and sexuality studies and visual art.

My approach to therapy is largely relational and psychodynamic. I center the relationship between therapist and client, and bring warmth, thoughtfulness, curiosity, humility, and laughter. I work to offer insights about patterns in your life and to join you in exploring the roots these patterns stem from. It is my aim for us to collaboratively create a space where you feel seen and held as we work toward a vision of wholeness you have for yourself.

I am a white, queer, non-binary person (they/them) who thinks a lot about the pervasive effects that the systems we live under have on our own internal worlds and relational structures. I am attendant to the powerful ways in which our identities shape our life experiences and dictate how we move through the world, and I am interested in exploring how power dynamics connected to our identities show up in the therapeutic space and inform the work.

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.
