Therapy Center of Philadelphia

TCP nurtures individual well-being and personal growth by providing high-quality, affordable therapy to women and gender-expansive people.

We work from an intersectional framework that recognizes social location and oppression as integral to healing. The Center offers individual couples, and group therapy all on a sliding fee scale. Yoga workshops and psychological testing are available as well as a specific program for resolving experiences of trauma. With a diverse staff of over 20 therapists, the Center offers a wide range of counseling expertise including psycho-dynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral treatment, EMDR, and gestalt therapy, to name a few. TCP also welcomes anyone who identifies as transgender or gender non-conforming, regardless of sex assigned at birth or gender identity. This could include but not be limited to trans women, trans men, gender non-conforming and gender-queer identified folks, as well as transsexuals or anyone on the transgender continuum. Psychotherapy could include exploring issues around being trans-identified including: emotionally transitioning, coming out to family, friends, partners, or at work, medical transition, isolation, building community, relationship to your body, or dealing with trans-phobia. It could also include issues not related to your gender-identity or transitioning but be offered in a trans-affirming space. Our therapists do not operate solely from a gender binary assumption and come with experience and training around how to be trans-affirming and competent. Some are trans-identified as well.

It’s a common misconception that mental health challenges only affect certain people. The truth is, no one is immune to emotional pain, stress, or trauma.

Women often carry invisible labor, expected to hold everything together while hiding their own pain. LGBTQIA+ folx navigate the daily weight of identity, belonging, and safety. BIPOC communities face ongoing systemic barriers and intergenerational trauma that shape their emotional well-being.

At TCP, we recognize that your background shapes how you experience and heal. Mental health care should reflect that grounded in equity, safety, and cultural understanding.

Healing is for everyone, including you.

Struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re human. Journaling, drinking water, and reaching out for support aren’t small tasks when your mind feels heavy. They’re powerful acts of grounding.

For women, that connection can mean unlearning the idea that you have to carry everything alone. For BIPOC folx, it can mean naming the exhaustion of navigating systemic barriers. For LGBTQIA+ folx, it can mean reclaiming your right to be supported and affirmed exactly as you are.

Each act of care, no matter how small, is proof of your strength. You’re already doing the work of healing.

Take one more step toward the care you deserve.

When your emotions are dismissed, your nervous system learns to protect you by shrinking, staying quiet, self-editing, or doubting what you feel. That isn’t weakness. It’s a trauma response.

For women, that dismissal is often disguised as “professionalism” or “composure.” For BIPOC folx, it’s the exhaustion of explaining your pain over and over to those who don’t want to see it. For LGBTQIA+ folx, it’s the constant invalidation of your lived truth.

Therapy offers a space to unlearn that silence to rebuild the safety to speak, feel, and trust your own story again.

You deserve to be fully heard and deeply understood.

For many people of color, the effects of racism and generational trauma are constant, quiet but heavy. For women, the pressure to stay strong often hides how much support is truly needed. For LGBTQIA+ folx, that same weight can come from a lifetime of needing to prove that you belong.

These experiences are not just emotional, they live in the body, shaping how we breathe, rest, and connect. Healing means giving yourself permission to slow down and to feel safe again in your own skin.

Therapy can be a place to let that weight soften and to remember that you were never meant to carry it alone.

Start your healing journey with care that sees you.

Every LGBTQIA+ folx carries their own story of resilience, one built through courage, care, and connection.

Resilience looks like living your truth, even when it’s hard. It’s letting yourself feel joy, softness, and safety in a world that too often tells you to harden. It’s community, the people who see you and remind you you’re not alone.

You’ve already come so far simply by being yourself. That is the heart of resilience.

You deserve healing that honors your truth.

Mental health is a right, not a privilege, yet access to care often reflects inequality, not need.

Women are expected to carry emotional labor without rest. People of color face barriers that deny culturally responsive care. Trans and q***r folx often encounter judgment where they should find understanding.

At TCP, we work to change that story. Through a sliding-scale model and community-led leadership, we make therapy accessible while centering those most often left out of traditional systems.

Healing should never depend on privilege. It should depend on your courage to begin and our responsibility to make that path open to all.

Take a moment to explore what inclusive, affirming care can look like for you.

Healing is not a one-time decision. It’s choosing, again and again, to put your well-being at the center, even when stigma, cost, or bias try to convince you otherwise.

Women, communities of color, LGBTQIA, and Trans folx often face disproportionate barriers to care, and are frequently denied affirming spaces altogether. These inequities can deepen wounds, but they don’t erase your right to healing.

Every boundary you set, every therapy session you attend, every time you remind yourself “I am worthy,” those are choices for yourself. And over time, those choices add up to transformation.

Keep choosing you. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but every step is progress, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Your identity is not an illness. It’s a truth that deserves to be seen, honored, and celebrated. For many LGBTQ+, trans, and gender-expansive individuals, the world can make authenticity feel unsafe. But in therapy, it should feel like coming home to yourself.

At TCP, we believe healing begins with affirmation. You don’t have to shrink or translate who you are here. Therapy is a space to unlearn shame, rebuild self-trust, and reconnect with your wholeness. not to be questioned, but to be understood.

Find a space that affirms your story.

LGBTQ+ communities experience higher rates of mental health challenges but these numbers tell a deeper story about inequality, not identity. Discrimination, social rejection, and lack of affirming care contribute to elevated rates of depression and anxiety, making mental health support both urgent and essential.

Many individuals also carry the weight of trauma. From bullying in school to workplace discrimination and physical violence, these experiences can lead to PTSD that disrupts everyday life. Healing requires safety, emotional, physical, and communal, something too often denied to marginalized people.

Transgender and non-binary communities face added challenges tied to gender dysphoria and unrealistic body expectations, leading to higher rates of eating disorders. Access to affirming, trauma-informed therapy can be life-changing, it allows people to reclaim joy, confidence, and belonging in their own bodies.

Take the next step toward the care you deserve.

Therapy can feel out of reach, especially for women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ communities who often face overlapping barriers of race, gender, and economic struggle. These groups are disproportionately impacted by both mental health challenges and the obstacles to accessing care. TCP’s sliding scale exists to bridge that gap, starting therapy at $30/session.

By removing financial barriers and affirming your identity, we create a space where healing is possible for every community we serve. Your story matters, your healing matters, and your access to care matters. 💜

For generations, women have been told to endure mistreatment quietly. To brush off disrespect, to stay polite when interrupted, to question themselves when their pain isn’t believed.

This mistreatment doesn’t just affect confidence, it impacts mental health. When society tells women their emotions are “too much,” or their experiences are “overreactions,” it teaches self-doubt. That self-doubt can grow into anxiety, exhaustion, and disconnection from one’s own truth.

Therapy can be a space to unlearn that silence. A place to rediscover your voice and name the harm that was never yours to carry. Because healing is about understanding that what happened was real, and you deserve to feel whole again.
