LGBT therapists in Media, PA

When I began seeing a therapist, I realized just how much I needed an outlet to process hardships in my life and to feel genuinely heard, and this is exactly what I want to provide to clients who come to see me. As I have advanced in my own self-discovery and identity exploration, I have become interested in helping others in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent (specifically autism and ADHD), and disability communities on their own journeys. I believe that having lived experience related to my specialties is a fundamental component to the care I can provide.

During my undergraduate years, I studied political theory at Reed College. In 2021, I completed my master’s degree in Social Work at Bryn Mawr College. Since then, I have offered individual therapy in community mental health, university, and private practice settings.

At my core, I am a humanist, existentialist, and a proponent of unconditional self-compassion. I have a strong skill set working with older teens and young adults but love working with all humans in general. Other therapeutic areas of strength would be trauma, personality disorders, gender and sexuality, parenting, relationships, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and ADHD.

I became a therapist because I find people genuinely fascinating, specifically how we each experience ourselves, life, and reality, and how we approach living – our inner process. That curiosity has driven more than 20 years of clinical & spiritual work with adults navigating trauma, sexuality, spirituality, expanded states of consciousness, depression, anxiety, identity, grief, men's issues, and major life transitions. Currently, I run my private practice while also directing and teaching in a graduate Counseling Psychology program.

Who am I?

I am Shikeena Lynard-Greene MA, NCC, LPC- a counselor, educator, and founder of PACWELLNESS. Clients describe me as calm, encouraging, and very practical. I believe therapy should feel safe, structured, and useful.

I have been working in the field of counseling since 2007. Specialties include: Teenagers and young adults with anxiety, depression, borderline personalities, and LGBTQ+. I enjoy the teenager population because they are the most overlooked. I received my LPC license in 2020 after working in the field for 13 years. On my down time I enjoy coaching soccer and reffing along with many other sports with my many kids.

HI! My name is Brandais and I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. I have 11 years of experience working in mental health. For my practice I focus on anxiety, ADHD, neurodivergence, life-changes, women's issues and diverse populations including LGBTQIA populations. My experience is with people across the lifespan. Currently I work with adults from 18-65. I approach my clients with warmth and allowing you to share your experience with non-judgement.

Something brought you here today. With 25 years working alongside people in community mental health settings, I have learned that deciding to start therapy takes

real courage. My work begins where you are, not where someone thinks you should be. Whether you are carrying anxiety, grief, relationship strain, the weight of life transitions, or simply wondering if things could feel different, I want to hear your whole story before we figure out the path forward. Everyone has their own, and we will find yours together.

Courtney Miller, LPC - Certified level II Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Clinician

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? I specialize in working with deep feelers & deep thinkers, LGBTQIA+ & gender-expansive communities, creatives, and cycle breakers healing from trauma. Whether you're navigating C-PTSD, emotional dysregulation, dissociation, identity struggles, or the impact of narcissistic family dynamics, I provide a supportive space to process your experiences and reclaim your sense of self. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop self-trust, and foster healthier relationships.

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.

I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.

I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

"Empowering people to help find their true actualized selves"- I will help support and inspire you to be the best you can be with showing and providing you skills and possibilities to facilitate more hope for the future. With experience in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, conditioning, Trauma therapy, and inner work to discover the Self and conditioning, together we will help you find your inner truth through a positive approach to help discover who you want to be.
