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.

Therapy progress isn’t always “feeling better.” Often, it’s feeling more honest with yourself and less willing to abandon your needs.

Boundaries, rest, and self-trust are embodied changes. They signal integration, not avoidance. Progress looks different for everyone, and it doesn’t need to be performative to be real.

Many q***r relationships carry invisible labor, emotional regulation, safety planning, and navigating rejection that others never have to consider.

Over time, this weight can lead to burnout, miscommunication, or resentment, not because the relationship is failing, but because the environment is demanding.

Therapy offers space to unpack these pressures and support q***r folx in building connection without constant self-protection.

Support strengthens love. 💌

Feeling drained, distressed, or disconnected doesn’t always come with a clear explanation, especially for Trans folx navigating a world that constantly reacts to their presence.

Some experiences stem from dysphoria. Others come from social exhaustion, the fatigue of managing safety, visibility, and expectations. Often, it’s not one or the other. And neither reflects personal failure.

Affirming therapy creates space to explore these layers gently, without rushing clarity. You are allowed to rest before you fully understand what you’re carrying.

Care doesn’t require certainty. 💌

Mental health care isn’t only for emergencies. It’s also for maintenance, growth, and learning how to live with more intention.

Starting therapy doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means you’re willing to care for yourself, even when things seem “fine.”

Begin when you’re ready. 💌

Valentine’s Day isn’t only about romance, it’s about love that feels safe, mutual, and affirming.

For q***r and LGBTQ+ couples, emotional safety plays a key role in mental wellbeing. Feeling respected and valued supports connection and reduces stress.

Healthy love allows boundaries and growth. It creates space for needs, rest, and honest expression without pressure to overgive.

Explore therapy that affirms love in all its forms.

Many people learn to equate love with endurance, staying quiet, staying available, staying accommodating. Over time, this erodes emotional health and creates relationships built on self-abandonment.

Boundaries are not about withholding care. They protect connection by making it sustainable. For marginalized folx, learning to set limits often means unlearning fear and internalized guilt.

Therapy offers a space to practice boundaries with support, clarity, and compassion without punishment or shame.

You deserve relationships that support your mental health. 💌

Misgendering impacts the body before intent is processed. Even when it’s unintentional, being misseen can activate stress responses tied to safety, identity, and belonging.

For Trans folx, repeated misgendering often requires emotional labor, deciding whether to correct, explain, or absorb the moment quietly. Over time, this can lead to emotional exhaustion, hypervigilance, and withdrawal.

Affirming therapy recognizes this impact without minimizing it. Respect is a mental health need.

You deserve to be seen as you are. 💌

Many women learned early that safety came from shrinking. From staying agreeable, quiet, and accommodating, even when it meant silencing needs or emotions.

These patterns were often survival strategies, not personal failures. Silence, compliance, and self-erasure protected you once. But what protected you then doesn’t have to define how you live now.

Taking up space, asking for help, setting boundaries, being seen is not selfish. It’s an act of care. Therapy can be a place where your presence is welcomed, not managed.

You deserve care that makes room for you. 💌

For many marginalized folx, racism, transphobia, and s*xism aren’t abstract concepts, they are daily stressors that affect the nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety.

Avoiding these topics in therapy doesn’t keep sessions neutral. It leaves lived experiences unaddressed, and harm unprocessed.

Affirming therapy makes space for the full context of your life, not just the parts deemed “comfortable.”

Your experiences belong in the room. 💌

Trauma-informed care is a commitment to safety, choice, and respect. Especially for marginalized communities, healing begins when care is intentional.

At TCP, trauma-informed therapy centers emotional and physical safety, honors autonomy, and prioritizes transparency. Clients deserve to understand their care, move at their own pace, and feel respected in their identity and lived experience.

Trauma doesn’t exist outside of race, gender, class, or systems of oppression. That’s why affirming, culturally aware care is not optional, it’s essential.

Take the next step toward care that honors your full experience. 💌

Racial trauma doesn’t always show up as a single moment. It often appears as exhaustion, guardedness, difficulty trusting, or feeling like you have to explain yourself, again and again.

When these experiences aren’t acknowledged in care spaces, people are left carrying them alone. Therapy that centers racial awareness allows space to process anger, grief, and fatigue without minimizing or rationalizing harm.

You deserve care that understands how race shapes emotional experience and supports healing without asking you to leave parts of yourself behind.

Care that listens deeply can change everything. 💌

Misgendering at family gatherings can feel discouraging, especially when you’ve spent so much time learning to trust your identity. Preparing a sentence you feel safe using can help you enter these spaces with more grounding and clarity.

You get to decide how much energy you want to give to correcting others. Some conversations deserve your voice; others don’t. Choosing when to engage is a form of self-protection, not withdrawal.

And when stress shows up in your body, pausing to breathe, step outside, or stretch can help you reconnect to yourself. Regulation is not avoidance, it’s care.

You deserve affirming support as you navigate these moments.
