Queer Processing Group for Teens - Bryn Mawr, PA

A welcoming LGBTQ+ group for teens seeking connection


Navigating your identity as an LGBTQ+ teen can be overwhelming. You may feel uncertain, disconnected, or unsure where to turn for support. Whether you’re exploring who you are or looking for a community that understands, you don’t have to go through it alone.

LGBTQ+ Teens deserve a space to be heard, seen, and celebrated

Our Queer Processing Group is a space where teens aged 15–20 can connect, share, and grow in a supportive and affirming environment. Led by a queer therapist, Emma Stein, M.S., NCE, this 10-week group provides the space to process identity-related stressors, embrace self-discovery, and build confidence in who you are.
