LGBT therapists in Erie, PA

I’m a warm, solution-focused, and person-centered therapist who values direct and authentic communication. My approach is grounded in respect and collaboration, working with clients to navigate challenges and build meaningful change. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing psychosis, OCD, and autism, and also have expertise in ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, BPD, and suicidal ideation. I work with clients across a range of concerns, including grief, relationship struggles, men’s and women’s issues, and PTSD. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to grow.

Hi, I’m Nick. You might be here because you’re tired of pretending you’re fine when you’re really not. Maybe you overthink everything, shut down, get irritated with people you care about, or just feel like you’re carrying a lot and don’t totally know why. For some people, it goes a bit deeper than that. You might have grown up being seen as the “problem” in your family, or the one who got blamed or was maybe made to feel like too much. A lot of the people I work with are LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent (but not everyone), or still figuring that out.

That kind of experience can mess with your sense of self. You might second-guess your reactions and feel guilty, or not even be sure what you’re feeling half the time. Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect explanation or a clear goal, we can just start with whatever feels most real.

If you have been carrying things on your own for a long time, it can be difficult to imagine doing it differently. That's okay! If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out.

Life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. I'm Jackie, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 40 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I've cared for individuals and families in a variety of healthcare settings, gaining a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and emotional health. That experience shaped my approach to psychiatric care and continues to guide the way I support each person. You'll find a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Virtual appointments are available for individuals throughout Pennsylvania.

Life can feel incredibly heavy when the past refuses to stay in the past. If you’re tired of "just getting by," feeling constantly on edge, or noticing that old history is intruding on your present, I want you to know something important: healing does not have to be a retraumatizing experience.
