Hi! My name is Christina Allard. I have been working in the mental health field for 10 years with experience with residential, inpatient and outpatient therapy. I graduated with my Masters of arts in Counseling from Regis University.
Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.
I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.
Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
I’ve dedicated much of my life to the mind body connection, holistic wellness and creating balance. I am fascinated by how small changes can make such a big impact on someone’s life. I work with individual clients.

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.
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).
My Cherry Hill office, near Philadelphia, is accessible, well ventilated and private for in-person sessions. Online therapy from the privacy of your home is also available. Reach a supportive therapist who is one click away and can be accessed in any weather and in any mood. Do you have feelings of guilt, shame, traumatic memories or intrusive thoughts, family conflict, or have a family member you are worried about? With a variety of proven treatments, I partner with you to enable, empower and restore you to a healthy state of mind and good quality of life. You can expect that our interactions will be dynamic, and useful.
I support all lifestyle and relationship choices that are safe, sane and consensual. All family configurations are welcome. I am culturally competent and will support you in seeking to find peace and resolve internal or family conflict between religious beliefs, family attitudes and your identity or lifestyle choices.
You do not have to live with unbearable emotional pain, worry, intrusive memories and/or depression. Relief is just a phone call, text or email away.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Pennsylvania. I specialize in treating trauma, late diagnosed autistics and ADHDers, and the LGBTQ+ community. I use DBT, CBT, MI, and EMDR mainly for my modalities
I earned my MSW from Rutgers University after changing from Engineering to Psychology during my undergraduate years. I primarily focus on trauma work but have a wide-ranging skillset and have worked with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, identity issues, relationship and communication issues, and more. I have worked with a variable population, of multiple genders, sexual orientations, races, and cultures; I am also LGBTQIA+, ENM, and kink affirming/supportive.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training in evidence-based assessment and treatment for a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks and panic disorder/agoraphobia, anger and irritability, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, OCD, and alcohol and other substance use. I also work with clients navigating concerns such as relationship or family conflict, grief, and general life stressors.
I earned my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and have experience providing both individual, couples, and group treatment across inpatient and outpatient clinical settings. I’ve worked closely with psychiatrists and other medical professionals, including nurse practitioners and social workers, as part of interdisciplinary treatment teams. Much of my clinical work has focused on adults presenting with complex and co-occurring concerns.
I am a licensed clinical social worker who graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters in Social Work. Throughout my 12+ year career I have worked with a variety of people and have really found my skill set to be working with people dealing with OCD, depression, and anxiety. I like to incorporate elements of CBT, DBT, and mindfulness into my work.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an 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.
