LGBTQ+ Therapists in Langhorne, PA

Located in Newtown & Buckingham PA, Bucks LGBTQ Center is an affirming, safe space for members of the LGBTQ + community and their families. We provide Masters and Doctoral level clinical support, professional educational trainings, and community events.

The Bucks LGBTQ Center offers individual, couples, family and group counseling services to members of the LGBTQ + community and their loved ones, including a specialization in working with transgender and gender expansive clients. We follow WPATH standards of care when providing documentation to support transition as needed.

I quickly work with my clients to help them develop skills to cope with life challenges, including depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, LGBTQ issues, substance use, grief and loss and life transitions. I work with clients both short and long-term, depending on each client's needs and interest.

My approach to therapy is individualized and focuses on enhancing new coping skills. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment with a sense of safety, self compassion, self love, and honesty as we work together to achieve the goals you have for yourself.

Each of us is unique, and all of us have the potential to grow, heal, and improve our lives. Asking for help is a sign of strength, and I am so glad that you are here. It is important to me that you feel safe to share and express yourself without being judged and feel celebrated for doing so. My experience has included 7 years of providing trauma informed care in community mental health clinics, Housing First programs, drug and alcohol treatment settings, and schools. I invite those I work with to welcome a spirit of radical acceptance, self compassion, and respect for your own inner healing intelligence.

Life is a journey that can be both deeply beautiful and profoundly challenging. Along the way, we all go through rough patches. Anxiety, despair and self-doubt can leave us feeling lost and afraid. Though these experiences may frighten us, they also offer us opportunities for healing and growth if we have the courage to listen to them and learn from them. I am a warm and caring psychotherapist who will provide an atmosphere of safety, compassion, and non-judgmental support as you engage in this process.

Beginning therapy can be scary, and I will assist you in finding what kind of support will be most helpful for you or your family member. I strive to build a trusting relationship with every individual I work with that helps facilitate growth and change. Everyone experiences difficulties throughout their life and we will work together to identify your strengths, heal emotional wounds, and develop effective coping strategies. I work with pre-teens, teens, and adults experiencing eating disorders, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, life transitions, grief, gender dysphoria, & other mental health concerns.

Are you looking for someone who fosters a safe space while you embark on your healing journey? Taking the step towards healing is not an easy decision to make, and I am so glad you are taking it. I specialize in working alongside with those who struggle with eating disorders, trauma, and addiction. My practice is LGBTQ + affirming.

Hello! My name is Gregg and I help people through some of the tough times in their lives. I believe that we adjust to new experiences using the tools we already possess and a desire to thrive in new surroundings, but sometimes this striving to survive can cause us emotional and behavioral difficulties. I provide supportive guidance through these situations using tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative, and existential therapies, from the psychodynamic approach.

I see therapy as a collaborative process exploring how the past informs the present and allowing trust and authenticity to foster insight and development. I strive to provide the highest quality of care, focusing on the unique needs of each individual and creating a safe environment with room for challenges, exploration, process, and growth. I help clients learn and practice skills for tolerating pain in times of crisis, responding instead of reacting, increasing self-respect, improving relationships, and participating fully in each moment. My ultimate goal is to help my clients build and nurture a life they feel is worth living.

I approach counseling as a relationship, building trust and partnership with each of my clients. I focus on an individualized treatment style which incorporates personal/family needs to integrate cognitive-behavioral, relational, and emotional approaches to therapy. I build on an individual's personal strengths, values, and skills to work together with clients on meeting their goals.

I focus on helping clients identify and process issues causing them distress or discomfort so they feel more joy and strength in their lives. I provide an authentic, supportive experience where clients feel safe to work issues without judgment, while learning and practicing new coping skills and increasing their sense of self worth. Clients say they feel supported, and understood working with me. My focus extends to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, codependency, trauma and all types of work life issues. I find EMDR the most effective modality but shift based on client needs.

Life can be messy and challenging at times. You deserve a safe and compassionate place to be heard and understood, while developing balance and consistency. This can be the first step towards self-empowerment, growth, and increased wellness.

Our lives are defined by our relationships. However, maintaining and nourishing these relationships can be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to help families, individuals, and couples seeking to rejuvenate and rebuild relationships at all stages, whether you're experiencing marital difficulties, tensions with parenting, or managing relationships with elderly parents or children who have moved out of the house. In therapy sessions, I use a lighthearted touch and maintain a calm, safe environment that not only makes difficult moments tolerable but also encourages you to be reflective and self-aware.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, worrying about things you cannot control? Are you stressed with work and home life demands, wanting to cope and find balance? Is self-care not a part of your vocabulary and you seek to find ways to incorporate this into your life? Do you and your partner struggle with communication, feel stuck on the hamster wheel? You can improve the quality of your life, there are better ways to cope, and you can feel better. There is hope and there are solutions, and ways to change our perspective/thought processes. Let's work together to build an environment of safety and trust.
