LGBT therapists in Bala Cynwyd, PA

With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I firmly believe in the parity of mental and physical health. Life often leads us into dark tunnels, and my role in therapy is to guide individuals toward the light at the end of those tunnels.

Greetings and thank you for stopping by my profile, I am Lidia. In my therapeutic practice, I aim to offer a space to slow down and reconnect with your inner resilience. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore your experiences, honor your emotions, and build practical strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or a sense of disconnection, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity as you create meaningful, lasting change.

On the outside, you may be holding it all together. Inside, it may feel like a lot. You may be dealing with intense thoughts, emotions, or experiences from the past that still show up in the present. Sometimes you already know the skills or what you "should be doing," and the harder question is why your mind or body keeps reacting as though something from the past is still happening now. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. I also support LGBTQ+ individuals. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey that we take together.

Hi, I'm Tierra Kinnard, LCSW, and founder of Step by Step Healing Services, LLC. With more than 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Excoriation (Skin Picking Disorder), Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling Disorder), anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief and loss. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. I understand the profound impact that mental health challenges can have on individuals, families, and relationships, and I am committed to helping clients build resilience, find relief, and create meaningful change.

Life comes at us fast. It seems as if things can be flipped upside down in seconds. That is where I come in.

I am Amy Wieder, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with around 20 years of experience in mental health, from crisis intervention and inpatient behavioral health to private outpatient practice. I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.

I work primarily with women — especially those navigating mid-life — and teenagers 15 and up. I have a special place in my heart for those working through grief. I bring education, professional experience, and real-life experience to every session.

I can guarantee that at some point I will make you laugh :o)

Finding the right therapist can feel like a leap of faith — especially when you've spent years wondering if anyone will truly get you. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, or carrying weight you've never said out loud, you deserve a space where you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning. That matters here. You are not too much. You are not too complicated. And you don't have to perform wellness to be worthy of support.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, coping with the effects of trauma, navigating grief, struggling in relationships, adjusting to a life transition, or facing parenting challenges, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify your strengths, develop practical tools for managing challenges, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.

I am a licensed therapist whose passion, knowledge, and expertise has been from working with women from many different backgrounds and walks of life. I received my masters in counseling from Pennsylvania Western University and have spent the last two years working with nurses and nursing students. Prior to that, I have spent many years working with youth and young adult women in psychiatric and hospital settings providing specialized care and support with grief/loss, relationship and familial issues, life changes, and general life exploration.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience providing evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, life stressors, and other emotional challenges. I also have extensive expertise in the assessment and management of suicide risk. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking openly about what you are experiencing while we work together to identify practical, evidence-based ways to help you feel and function better.

For more than two decades, I served as a psychologist in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). During my time there, I conducted comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, provided individual and group therapy, and developed treatment plans for adolescents and families experiencing a wide range of psychiatric and emotional concerns. I also co-developed the Child and Adolescent Mood Program (CHAMP), a specialized clinical program focused on evaluating and treating young people with mood disorders.

My work at CHOP gave me particularly deep experience helping adolescents and families navigate depression, mood disorders, anxiety, emotional distress, and complex mental health concerns. It also reinforced the importance of understanding what is happening not only from the patient's perspective, but within the broader context of family, school, relationships, development, and everyday life.

In addition to my clinical work, I have an extensive background in academic research, including research involving youth mood disorders and perinatal depression. I have also supervised and trained psychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and psychiatry residents.
