Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

Teeny Das

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.

I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.

Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My core belief is that healing happens when we reconnect our minds and our bodies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Therapy to help you uncover the deeply ingrained, harmful patterns that may be holding you back. By understanding these dynamics, we can work together to reframe negative cycles into intentional, more supportive choices.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Shillington, PA


Life can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re constantly managing others’ emotions, expectations, and energy, leaving little room for your own. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or a big life transition, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with teens (14+), young adults, and adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, speak up for what they need, and build lives grounded in boundaries and self-trust. Many of my clients are neurodivergent, part of the LGBTQ+ community, or navigating identity, career/school stress, and complex family dynamics.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Philadelphia starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a space where their identity is understood. Others are navigating gender identity, coming out, or the effects of minority stress. Philadelphia has a strong network of affirming providers — look for a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist) who lists LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and describes their affirming approach in their bio.

Beyond clinical expertise, fit matters. Consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, whether a provider's identity or background is important to you, and whether their communication style feels right. A free phone consultation can help you gauge that connection before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Philadelphia can be expensive, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to prioritize affirming care that fits your budget.
