Therapists in the Philly area

[Ella~]

I went to a couple of therapy sessions last year with a clinical psychologist near Philladelphia that specializes in GID. I liked her enough, but I got freaked out by it all and stopped seeing her. After another year of fighting this on my own, I'm getting close to going back so I can finally take some action on this.

I'm just curious to know if anyone can recommend a good therapist in the Philly area or even New Jersey. I will likely go back to the one I was seeing, if I decide to get help at all. But, I didn't "shop around" at all last year when I found her. She was just the closest to me.
