Bisexual Therapists in Wilmington, DE

Hello! Thanks for looking at my profile. Feel free to send a message if you'd like to schedule a free 30 minute consult. Finding a good fit is so important in choosing a therapist. The relationship is critical. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in women, girls, and queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual , and transgender and nonbinary folks. I practice decolonizing and liberation focused therapy. My areas of focus include sexuality and trauma. I consider myself a client centered, relational, and culturally sensitive psychotherapist. I am board certified in teletherapy. I am licensed in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

I strive to create an environment which is affirming and comfortable yet also expect I will challenge clients in their assumptions regarding thoughts, behaviors, and social interactions. I often use humor, clinical vignettes, and use of self (my own experiences) to create a positive therapeutic experience for the clients I serve. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist. As such, clients create goals for themselves while therapist assist them in reaching their goals. I want clients to obtain the services that are right for them, as such, I am always willing and happy to provide referrals as needed.

An ideal client, is an unideal person. If humans were perfect they wouldn't need therapy. I work with individuals, couples & families with a range of issues. I help people address unskilled thoughts, emotions &/or behaviors, helping them let go of things that are no longer serving them. If an individual desires to grow by developing their sense of awareness, while developing skills to help them lower their stress levels & address their issues, I can help. I work with all mental health conditions, or stress related issues. No issue is too small or too big for therapy. I am here to support others in their goals & personal growth.

Finding a therapist you really connect with is hard. There are so many of us, and it can be overwhelming to decide who to reach out to. But, you have already taken the first step. You’re here, reading profiles, trying to do something for the most important person in your life: YOU. / We talk to ourselves more than anyone else, and most of us are not kind with our words. I believe strongly that this is because we're not really taught how to talk about emotions, and it’s easier to default to past patterns than it is to learn something new. That's where I come in. / As a therapist, authenticity and acceptance are paramount to me.

Life is sometimes difficult and it is hard to gain perspective. Also, family and interpersonal relationships can be so complex and challenging. Are you or your child/family struggling? Would you benefit from compassionate professional support? What would it feel like for you to live the life you've dreamed of, to have the relationships you've hoped for and to feel loved and supported each day? Are you ready for this life-changing journey? Let me help you unpack your concerns, repair your relationship with yourself and others, remind you that you are enough and that you can be happy and whole.

You hold the power to heal within yourself and you are the expert of your own experience. My intention is to provide a creative, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and trauma informed environment that fosters expression and exploration of self. I have experience working with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, and other life experiences. I have an eclectic approach to therapy that includes evidenced based practices, energy psychology, and art therapy.

There are seasons of life that may disrupt our ability to flow. Events that can make the art of living more difficult. Sometimes we may notice patterns, but find it difficult to fully recognize or address them from within. There are advantages to connecting and reflecting with a nonjudgmental, outside perspective. Therapy can feel like an exploration -of story, relationships, narrative- a process of transformation. I enjoy serving as a co-pilot, to navigate alongside a client through their journey in a collaborative effort. Where do you want to be growing?

Hi, my name is Liz, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health and Nationally Certified Counselor. Therapy can be a life-changing experience, but admitting you need help can be difficult. Our struggles are often blamed on our own individual choices, without looking at factors outside our control. We may come from families where our mental health was ignored. We may be part of a marginalized group that faces systemic oppression. We may be neurodivergent and living in a world not designed for us, or have a genetic predisposition towards certain disorders.

Are you a young adult feeling lost as the world returns to normal? Like you haven’t been able to catch your breath and process the layers of loss, big and small? Things may be back to the way they were but you feel as though nothing is back to the way it was? Despite how isolating this feels, you are not alone. Together we can forge a path by finding ways to take care of yourself, focus on healthy boundaries & live a life aligned with your values.

Therapy is a space to talk about your deepest hurts and fears. To do that, you need to feel like you can trust the person you’re talking to. I have years of experience sitting with people grieving losses and going through big transitions. I am not afraid of grief, or anger. I also work with people who struggle with intimacy and vulnerability. Sometimes our troubles come from inside and sometimes they are a result of the things that happen to us. Together, we will spend time with both, giving voice and care to parts of the self that have been overlooked or overwhelmed.

My clients find validation in having a provider who understands and acknowledges the difficulties that arise from experiencing marginalization. I have been in the field for over 20 years and have found that my skills are most effective in working with people who hold marginalized identities as well as community activists. With our rapidly changing and shifting world it is important to have a provider that acknowledges the times we are living in to support those of us most affected by these changes. Many of us are struggling to navigate the vast changes in the world around us in addition to typical day to day concerns.

You find yourself hoping for stillness and peace of mind. You want to be grounded and present. You strive to fully embrace life and the people you love. You can make this a reality with the right support! You are designed to heal and grow. You are capable of embracing joy and peace. You deserve to tap into self-love and feel a sense of belonging and connection. You can calm your body and mind while embracing self-compassion with support.

Deeply Rooted Psychological Services (DRPS) offers a full line of psychological services including forensics, testing & assessment (age 10+), professional consultation, and of course therapy. We employ a Brief Psychodynamic approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help patients investigate the “why” behind their thoughts and actions. This approach focuses on strengthening a patient’s capacity to understand the meaning underlying their experiences, and their ability to gain insight into the behaviors of self and others.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in providing individual, relational, and sex therapy. I work with my clients to create safe, affirming space that allows them to explore the most challenging parts of their lives while celebrating and building upon their strengths. My approach to therapy is integrative and based on the specific needs and goals of the people I am working with, though my treatment methodology is grounded in psychodynamic, mindfulness based, and emotionally focused theories of therapeutic support. I work with individuals and couples who struggle with a variety of emotional, relational and sexual issues.

Congratulations on exploring the option of psychotherapy. My treatment approach is strengths based, respecting each person's self-determination for achieving a state of emotional health. Strong therapeutic relationships can create healing and generate the ability to change. By applying various therapeutic techniques tailored to your individual needs, you will gain an understanding of behavior patterns or skewed cognitions that may be limiting you from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful relationship with self or others.

My goal is to help people live their lives in happiness. If you struggle with anxiety, difficulty in relationships, poor self-esteem, unhealthy coping mechanisms, inability to understand your emotions, feeling “stuck” and unable to move forward, feeling a lack of inner peace, or you would like to be more in control of your emotions rather than your emotions being in control of you, then you are not alone.
