I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has worked with a diversity of clients. I am here to listen, validate, challenge, support and work with you on your therapeutic goals.
I have 25 years of experience working in-patient and out-patient treatment. I have worked with individuals with general mood disorders and addiction. I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.
I am a professional and person who is confident that you can have more confidence and contentment. As a trained psychotherapist clinician with 9.5 years experience, I counsel adults with concerns ranging from depression and anxiety to conflict, religious abuse, and marital and identity issues. My education from Hood College with a includes a specialized focus in grief and bereavement counseling. I welcome clients of ALL cultures, belief systems, races, and backgrounds.
Hi - I am so glad you are here. I am Karr, a Licensed Professional Counselor and wounded healer with a burning passion to support the healing journey of others. I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences. I have training and experiencing navigating trauma, gender affirming care, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.
I am an avid reader and obsessed with all things fantasy. At my core, I am a lifetime learner and dedicated challenger. I enjoy exploring the way systems operate, how they impact us today, and ways we can resist and challenge as a collective. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my head in my kindle, spending far too many hours playing video games, or in some other hobby I am currently hyper-fixated on only to forget about a month later!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Philadelphia starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist whose profile clearly mentions experience with LGBTQIA+ people, gender-diverse clients, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or related areas of focus. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as identity exploration, relationship concerns, family stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. A therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach can help you understand whether their experience matches your needs.
In a large city like Philadelphia, more options can make the search harder to narrow. You may want a therapist near Center City, South Philly, University City, or Fishtown, or you may prefer virtual sessions that give you access to more affirming therapists across Pennsylvania. As you compare options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can help you see how a therapist describes their work with LGBTQIA+ people, couples, families, and specific communities.
Therapy in Philadelphia can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show availability, and let you book directly. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first session, then review profiles and choose a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
