Affirming Therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals, & Couples
LGBTQ+ Therapy in Philadelphia & Bryn Mawr
You’ve been carrying the weight of masking, rejection, and societal pressures for too long. Maybe your relationships feel strained, your anxiety is overwhelming, or past experiences still haunt you. You want to feel safe in your identity, comfortable in your body, and free to express yourself without fear of judgment.
You don’t have to hide who you are to get the support you need.
Right now, you may feel stuck in old patterns, exhausted from hiding, or unsure how to move forward. The emotional toll of not being fully seen or understood can leave you feeling disconnected, anxious, or alone.
At Spilove Psychotherapy, we provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy in Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr, and online throughout Pennsylvania & New Jersey. Whether you're seeking individual therapy, queer couples counseling, gender-affirming support, or family therapy, our LGBTQ+ and allied therapists offer a safe, validating, and inclusive space to help you heal, grow, and reclaim your confidence.
Our Approach to LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Healing isn’t just about coping—it’s about embracing your full, authentic self in a world that may not always make space for you. At Spilove Psychotherapy, we go beyond just providing therapy—we create a deeply affirming space where your identity, experiences, and emotions are fully seen, honored, and supported.
We recognize that LGBTQ+ individuals face unique challenges, from navigating identity and coming out to dealing with family acceptance, trauma, or relationship struggles. Our approach integrates both stabilization and deep healing, offering trauma-informed support and identity-affirming therapy that meets you where you are.
For those struggling with anxiety, depression, or past trauma, we provide therapies like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic therapy to help you heal at the root. If you’re working through relationship dynamics, polyamory, or queer family concerns, our therapists are trained in attachment-based and couples therapy approaches to help you build trust, communication, and connection.
At Spilove Psychotherapy, we are a queer-owned and queer-run practice—some of our clinicians identify as LGBTQ+, and all are deeply affirming. You deserve therapy where you don’t have to explain your identity—where you are seen, respected, and celebrated.
