Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

Founded in 2013, Emerge Wellness is an LGBTQIA+ owned and operated (now virtual) therapy practice, serving the Philadelphia area and all of Pennsylvania. Our mission is to facilitate profound healing and personal growth by offering a sanctuary for mental and emotional well-being.

Our practice is rooted in the principles of safety, choice, trustworthiness, and empowerment, ensuring a respectful and supportive therapeutic environment. We recognize the connection between systems of oppression and mental health.

We are committed to fostering an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, de-colonial environment that centers the safety and healing of marginalized groups. All of our therapists are a part of the queer community or queer allied with a variety of intersectional identities, so you don’t have to explain your gender identity, sexuality, or relationship style to us.

We consider it both an honor and privilege to serve the diverse needs of the queer community!

**PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR VIRTUAL SERVICES AND WE DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. YOU MUST RESIDE IN PENNSYLVANIA TO RECEIVE SERVICES.**

Relational Therapy

Couples, Triads, Family Therapy

Relational Therapy is focused on the dynamics between two or more people. In couples therapy we offer sessions for people who are looking to better understand one another and create more of what you want in your partnership. In this safe environment, you can explore your challenges more openly, find new ways to compassionately relate to one another, and increase the health of your relationship. We welcome polyamorous and kinky-identified couples, relationship groups of more than two, or any form of open or non-traditional relationship formats.

Our Difference

LGBTQ Owned & Operated

We are an LGBTQ+ owned and operated business; as such, our practitioners are all LGBTQ+ identified.

A mind body approach.

We treat the whole-person rather than just attending to the mind. By attending to the mind and body, we help our clients experience a sense of deep safety within themselves.

Our therapists believe in continued education.

All of our therapists engage in ongoing continuing education to ensure that we offer the absolute best care.
