Welcome to The Therapy Gal
Hi, I’m Leeor Gal! If you’ve seen me on Instagram, you know I take a lighthearted and down-to-earth approach to mental health. Humor and authenticity have been my go-to tools for helping clients feel at ease and ready to dive into meaningful work.
Throughout my career, it’s become clear that real change happens once you feel truly at ease and ready to share your thoughts without hesitation.
That’s why, at The Therapy Gal, we’re all about creating a welcoming and relatable environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood from day one.
What To Expect In Therapy With Us
- ✓A Space That Feels Like You – Therapy should feel natural, not forced. From the first session, we create an environment where you can relax, open up, and be yourself.
- ✓Sessions That Actually Help – We use evidence-based approaches tailored to you, so you walk away with insights and strategies—not just “how does that make you feel?”
- ✓Judgment-Free, Always – You can be 100% yourself, whether that means venting, laughing, or untangling the deeper stuff at your own pace.
- ✓Progress You Can Feel – Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about growth. We’ll help you break patterns, set boundaries, and start living life on your terms.
Easily Find The Support You’re Looking For
Individual Counselor
You might look like you’ve got it all together, but inside you’re exhausted, anxious, or just tired of pretending you’re fine. We offer a space where you can drop the act, be fully honest, and start untangling what’s weighing you down. It’s time to feel like yourself again.
Marriage and Relationship Counselor
The love is still there, but the connection feels like it’s slipping away. Whether you’re stuck in the same arguments or simply feel more like roommates than partners, we help you break old patterns and rebuild closeness. Let’s get you back to truly enjoying each other again.
Sexologist
When sex feels stressful, awkward, or just… nonexistent, it can leave you feeling frustrated and disconnected. We make it safe to talk openly about desire, pain, or mismatched needs—without the embarrassment. Together, we’ll work toward a sex life that feels natural, comfortable, and fulfilling for you.
EMDR Psychotherapist
You’ve talked about your trauma, but it still feels like it’s running your life. EMDR can help you process those memories so the past stops hijacking the present. It’s a powerful approach for healing from trauma, PTSD, and other painful experiences.
Family Counselor
Every family has conflict, but yours might feel like it’s stuck on repeat. We help families navigate boundaries, improve communication, and heal old wounds so you can actually enjoy being around each other again. Healthier relationships start here.
LGBTQ+ Therapy
You're tired of "LGBTQ+ friendly" therapists who make you explain basic concepts about your identity. Our team includes queer-identified therapists who use your correct pronouns from day one and understand that queerness often intersects with trauma. Focus on your actual concerns instead of educating another therapist.
Individual Counselor
Finding the right counselor in Philadelphia can feel overwhelming. You want someone who understands both your challenges and the pace of life here. That is why The Therapy Gal was created. We make counseling feel approachable, comfortable, and genuinely helpful, without the heavy jargon.
You might be excelling at work while quietly running on empty. You may be the one everyone turns to, yet feel like no one really sees what you are going through. Or you may simply want a space where you can drop the pressure to seem fine and talk openly about what is actually happening.
Our team offers support for a wide range of needs, from anxiety and burnout to grief, life changes, and more. We work with people who are ready to be honest about what they are feeling and take steps toward real change.
Marriage & Relationship Counselor
You love each other, but lately you feel like roommates who happen to share a bed. You’re having the same fights over and over, or maybe you’ve stopped fighting altogether because it never gets anywhere. The spark feels gone, and you can’t remember the last time you had fun together without it ending in tension.
Our marriage and relationship counseling helps couples who are tired of the same patterns, feeling disconnected, or wondering if their relationship can be saved. We work with couples who still love each other but have no idea how to get back to being partners instead of adversaries.
Whether you’re newlyweds hitting your first major rough patch, parents who lost yourselves in the chaos, or long-term partners who’ve grown apart, we help you remember why you chose each other and build something stronger than what you had before.
Sexologist
Your sex drive disappeared and you have no idea why. Or sex hurts and your doctor just shrugged when you brought it up. Maybe you and your partner want completely different things and you’re both getting frustrated about it. You’re tired of avoiding conversations about sex or feeling broken because things aren’t working the way they should.
Our sex therapy approach talks about sex like it’s totally normal (because it is) without the awkward conversations you want to escape from. We help individuals and couples address low desire, mismatched libidos, painful sex, performance anxiety, and the relationship issues that affect intimacy.
Sexual health is part of overall health. When your sex life isn’t working, it affects your mood, confidence, relationships, and quality of life. You deserve to have a sexual life that feels good to you, whatever that looks like.
EMDR Psychotherapist
You’ve spent months or years in therapy talking about your trauma. You understand it now and can tell the story without crying, but you still have nightmares. You still jump when someone touches your shoulder or feel like you’re living your life from behind glass.
EMDR helps when talk therapy isn’t enough to heal from trauma, PTSD, childhood abuse, accidents, or any experience that’s still affecting your daily life. Instead of just talking about what happened, EMDR helps your brain actually process and heal from traumatic memories.
Whether you’re dealing with single-incident trauma like an accident or assault, childhood trauma that’s still running your adult life, or PTSD symptoms that make normal life feel impossible, EMDR can help you finally feel like the danger is over.
Family Counselor
Your family might look perfect on social media, but behind closed doors there are years of hurt feelings and the same arguments on repeat. Maybe you’re dealing with parents who still treat you like you’re 16, siblings who know exactly which buttons to push, or family gatherings that always end in drama.
Family counseling helps when love isn’t enough to stop the destructive patterns. We work with families dealing with parent-child conflicts, sibling rivalry, in-law drama, addiction impacts, grief, and all the messy complications that come with being related to people.
Whether you’re trying to set boundaries with parents, improve relationships with adult children, handle family crises, or just learn how to enjoy each other instead of surviving family time, we help families break exhausting cycles and actually connect.
LGBTQ+ Therapy
You’re tired of therapists who claim to be “LGBTQ+ friendly” but make you explain basic concepts about your identity. You need someone who already understands what it’s like to navigate coming out, deal with family who “love you but don’t understand,” or handle daily microaggressions.
Our LGBTQ+ therapy approach starts with respect and understanding from day one. We use your correct pronouns, understand relationship structures beyond heteronormative assumptions, and get that queerness often intersects with trauma. Our team includes queer-identified therapists who understand these experiences from the inside.
Whether you’re dealing with coming out stress, religious trauma, gender dysphoria, relationship issues, or the everyday mental health stuff everyone deals with, we provide affirming therapy where you can focus on your actual problems instead of educating another therapist.

Therapy FAQs
How much does therapy cost?
Our session rates vary depending on the therapist and range from $140-$175 for individual therapy and $165-$200 for couples therapy.
Do you accept insurance?
We are Out-of-Network with all insurance companies. We provide you with a monthly statement (called a Superbill) which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. We have found that many insurance plans will reimburse 40%-80% of the cost of Out-of-Network therapy after meeting your deductible.
What should I ask my insurance provider about my superbill?
You can call the concierge number on the back of your insurance card and ask:
- Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient therapy?
- What is my out-of-network deductible? (your deductible is the amount you need to hit before your insurance company can start reimbursing for your sessions.)
- What percentage is covered for out-of-network therapy once I’ve hit my deductible? (Here is when they’ll provide you with a percentage like 60% or 80% depending on your coverage)
- My therapist’s CPT code is 90834, what will be reimbursed for my 45-minute psychotherapy session?
- Can you please instruct me on how to submit my claim for reimbursement?
- When should I expect my reimbursement for my sessions?
How Does Online Therapy Work?
Online therapy allows you to connect with your therapist through secure, video-based platforms. Before your session, you’ll receive a link to join the meeting. During the session, you’ll talk just like you would in person, but from the comfort of your own space. All you need is a stable internet connection and a private, quiet spot for the session.
We provide the option for online therapy if you live in PA or NJ.
How long are therapy sessions, and how often do we meet?
Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long. Most clients start with weekly sessions, but the frequency can be adjusted based on your preferences, goals, and progress.
Can I switch therapists if I feel it’s not a good fit?
Absolutely. It’s important to feel comfortable with your therapist. If you don’t feel it’s a good match, let us know, and we can help you find someone who might be a better fit for your needs.
