Dr. Timothy Silvestri

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Allentown, PA


I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Newtown, PA


Hello, I’m Regina, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 20 years of nursing experience caring for individuals and families across diverse backgrounds and stages of life. My nursing career has allowed me to support patients through some of their most vulnerable moments, including years working in hospice and end-of-life care, emergency medicine, addictions, and mental health. These experiences have shaped my compassionate, holistic approach to psychiatric care.

I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, and addiction concerns, including alcohol use, substance use, and gambling. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and actively involved in your care.

At Grace Psychiatry & Wellness, I believe mental health treatment should be personalized and collaborative. Together, we will explore your concerns, develop an evidence-based treatment plan, and work toward improving your overall wellness and quality of life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Pittsburgh, PA

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pittsburgh starts with looking for identity-affirming care that matches your needs. An affirming therapist may support people exploring sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with affirmative therapy, WPATH-informed training, gender-diverse clients, or LGBTQIA+ communities in their profiles. The right fit goes beyond clinical training — it also includes feeling respected in how a therapist describes their approach, communication style, and areas of focus.

Pittsburgh has a range of therapists across neighborhoods and nearby communities, but affirming options can vary by location, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices if an office near you has limited availability or if video sessions fit your calendar better than travel to an in-person appointment. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, provides a free phone consultation, and has background or lived experience that matters to your care. Reading therapist bios can help you see who explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ care, pride mental health, gender identity, or relationship support before you book.

Therapy in Pittsburgh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists in Pittsburgh who are accepting new clients, review their bios, check appointment availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
