Einstein NetworkLGBTQSeveralI called and made an appointment with Mx. Libby Parker because a) I read some positive reviews about them and b) they are a they! It was pretty simple to get set up. The guy on the phone was really nice and you can call 215-420-0989. The office accepts Medicaid. (I have Keystone First!) If you call the main number listed on their website, you might get tossed around to a few different departments because it might be a new thing. I had to clarify "Pride" to two different people because they may have misheard me over the phone or aren't used to getting calls about it. So I recommend just calling the number I provided above.Mx.

Mariana Pardes @ Somatic Therapy PhillyAll19104 & 19070I am a certified somatic therapist who specializes in touch therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and nurturing space to promote self-awareness, self-connection, and healing through the body. I offer trauma-informed healing collaborations welcoming of people of color, queer & trans people, and all bodies. Sessions are available in West Philly and Delaware County (Morton) in PA.

My identities/lens: I am a queer cisgender woman, raised in a White Jewish-Argentine immigrant household. I work within the framework that we live within a myriad of intersecting systems of power and oppression that shape our bodies, our sense of self, and our patterns of behavior, thought,
and ways of relating to others. I believe that embodied practices are integral to honoring the fullness of our humanity, transforming harms we’ve experienced, and nurturing our liberation (at personal and collective levels). My lens as a practitioner is also informed by my previous work with LGBTQIA+, Latinx, and low-income communities as a social researcher, educator, and activist.
