LGBT therapists in Reading, PA

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.

HI! My name is Brandais and I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania with 11 years of experience working with individuals. I focus on anxiety, life-changes, women's issues and diverse populations including LGBTQIA populations. My experience is with people across the lifespan. Currently I work with adults from 18-65. I approach my clients with warmth and allowing you to share your experience with non-judgement.

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.

I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.

I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

Hello and welcome! My name is Julie Buttram, I am an LPC in Pennsylvania, and received my degree from La Salle University. I have 10 years of experience working with a diverse population of individuals in outpatient therapy. The people I have worked with have come from all walks of life, many cultural experiences and identities, and across all ages (from 2 - 80 years of age).

Greetings and thank you for stopping by my profile, I am Lidia. In my therapeutic practice, I aim to offer a space to slow down and reconnect with your inner resilience. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore your experiences, honor your emotions, and build practical strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or a sense of disconnection, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and curiosity as you create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.

Hi! My name’s Colin and I’m a Philly-based therapist. I work with introverts and LGBTQ+ individuals experiencing problems within socializing. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, setting boundaries, loneliness, isolation, or depression, I’m here to help. I enjoy watching people grow and try out new techniques to improve their lives and relationships.

I've received my Master's degree from Temple University and have worked in the mental health field for 8 years in a variety of settings.

Hello I am Clyde who wants to ensure you receive the best treatment you can, offering treatment in a safe space, nonjudgmental, honest, confidential, timely warm, kind, considerate, professional, ethical, skillful, relevant, current way. Look forward to getting to know you.

Since 2013, I’ve helped clients overcome social anxiety, gaming addiction, and substance abuse—while also developing emotional intelligence and building healthier relationships. I understand firsthand how internet culture, modern relationships, and existential doubt shape our struggles. My approach is direct but empathetic, balancing honesty with actionable solutions to help you take control of your life.

If you're stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling, blackpilling, or social withdrawal, I can help you break free. We’ll work on improving emotional communication, navigating online and offline relationships, and developing a stronger sense of self. Therapy with me is engaging, sometimes humorous, but always focused on real growth. I minimize worksheets and prioritize evidenced-based solutions. I utilize ACT, REBT and CBT to help you identify issues and create lasting change. I also draw from my academic background in existential philosophy and critical theory. I'm a genuine, goofy but direct person, I like having real conversations and I offer free consultations.
