Yardley Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Lisa B Schwartz

Lisa Smith

As life is a series of relationships, the relationship between therapist and client(s) is one that can be a springboard for growth. I am honored and privileged to join my clients on their journeys.

Alicia Williams

As a proud lesbian member of the Rainbow Family, I know too well the challenges we must face on a daily basis. I listen to my clients talk about the many ways in which they are marginalized multiple times every day, and I understand. Because I listen, I hear my clients angst and growing fears and frustrations. And then, we work together to strengthen our commitment to living free and living proud, and to do so in ways that are self-enhancing, rather than self-destructing. I will stand with you.

Nathalie Edmond

My clients are looking for a mind-body-spirit approach grounded in social justice to address their anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions.

Rachel Millner

Most of the clients that we work with seek us out because they are struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, or wanting to heal their relationship with food and body. Many are in fat bodies or have other marginalized identities and have been harmed by previous providers. Often our clients have experienced complex trauma. We are licensed in many states, so clients often contact us because there aren't any local providers who meet their need for fat positive, social justice, HAES care

Shira Collings

As a queer, nonbinary woman myself, I greatly enjoy supporting other members of the LGBTQIA+ community in exploring their sexual orientation and gender identity, navigating the process of coming out, and building relationships with people who are accepting and affirming of them. I have experience co-facilitating a therapy group and support group for trans individuals as well as supporting those who are pursuing gender affirming medical care.

Taryn Chase

Taryn works with people from all walks of life from just being released from incarceration to working on wall street. Taryn has experience helping others to manage a variety of concerns including self-esteem, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, Gender Affirming care, anxiety, substance use/addiction, stress management, relationship issues, and women’s issues.

Thomas Foley

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults, but specifically seek to serve the LGBTQ+ youth population. I approach counseling holistically and recognize that the young people I treat are often undergoing gender journeys or exploring their sexual/affectional orientation while simultaneously learning to navigate and cope with other potential stressors in life such as peer relationships, family conflict, self-esteem, grief, loss, and more.

Megan Campeau

The whole reason I became a therapist was to help support those who are navigating their own personal identity journey. It is imperative to honor our authentic selves and learn to love exactly who we are.

Heidi Dalzell

No matter how you may struggle, we will work together in an atmosphere of acceptance and kindness. I see change every day, whether it is in a client who enters a new and healthy relationship, who returns to school, or who stops a negative pattern of behavior. We will achieve these goals in a way that is active but comfortable. I am also open to holistic approaches and mind-body healing.

Richard Yahn

I enjoy walking a journey with my clients, no matter where that path may take us. It's about creating a safe place to share your full self without judgment. We all go through difficult times, we need a safe place to turn to for guidance, growth, and healing. I assist in helping you discover underlying thoughts, emotions, desires, and behaviors which combined with goals, result in a change. I create a collabrative process that incorporates a personalized approach for each client.

Jillian Brueckner

I work with teens and adults and help them navigate through various mental health issues and life changes, such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress, and transitional periods like college, moving, and relationship changes.

Christine Lynch MA,LPC

I want to help all people feel comfortable in their own skin and feel safe loving whomever they love .

Lienna Wilson

While I work with adults of all ages, I specialize in working with young adults (ages 18-28) and have worked in several college counseling centers, including Princeton University, where I completed my post-doctoral residency.

Chelsea Hall

This is not a road you should walk alone. You know it, I know it, and your eating disorder definitely knows it: eating disorders thrive in silence and isolation. Outpatient therapy can offer effective support whether you are just beginning to question your relationship with food, or you are stepping down after successfully completing more intensive treatment. I work with families and individuals to reduce and arrest eating disorder behaviors and develop motivation for a recovered life.

Joseph Torre

As part of the SAGA Therapy collective, we work closely with our LGBTQ+ community to better understand and provide supportive services customized to our unique needs. One of the theoretical orientations I use in therapy is the Relational Cultural Theory, which proposes we heal in relationships with others. Our community can be a source of support, safety, and affirmation. Standing together we can find strength and purpose.

Ames Capomacchio

There are all kinds of reasons that we end up feeling that we aren’t good enough, are unlovable, and unworthy. Most often these reasons are not our fault AND we don’t have to stay this way. Therapy can be a great place to explore aspects of yourself that are difficult to love and accept, to help you better understand why you are repeating patterns that are harming you or the people around you, and to find a place where you can safely express all of who you are.

Amber Lynn Connell

As a clinician with an LGBTQ+ identity, I have founded my practice around support, affirming, and celebrating the identities of all my clients. I have extensive training and experience treating LGBTQ+ individuals and families. I'm the secretary of PA chapter of SAIGE and I provide trainings across the state on how to provide affirmative counseling and supervision.
