All About Antoinette

Antoinette Pineda is a highly trained Thomas Jefferson University Marriage and Family Therapy Intern therapist passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate trauma, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. As a queer therapist, she is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space, particularly for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals who may feel unseen or unheard in traditional therapeutic settings.

Her approach is grounded in warmth, humor, and authenticity, ensuring that therapy feels accessible, supportive, and empowering. She believes that healing is not just about processing emotions—it’s about understanding how the mind and body work together to hold experiences. By integrating somatic practices and evidence-based techniques, Antoinette helps clients bridge the gap between emotional and physical well-being.

For those who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by past experiences, Antoinette provides the tools and support to process trauma, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and self-trust.

✔️ Couples working through communication struggles, emotional disconnection, or conflict resolution
✔️ LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking a safe, identity-affirming space
✔️ Anyone looking to reconnect with themselves, their emotions, and their relationships

Antoinette understands that healing is not linear, and she meets each client where they are, offering guidance, reflection, and tools for sustainable growth.
