Walnut Psychotherapy Center
Founded in 2015, Walnut Psychotherapy Center is a psychotherapy practice which focuses on the LGBTQ population in Philadelphia. The central premise of WPC is the provision of long-term, psychodynamic, trauma-informed mental health treatment that refuses to pathologize LGBTQ people, but rather recognizes the negative impact that societal marginalization has on the psyche.
