About
Society Hill Therapy, located in Philadelphia, PA, offers a safe and affirming space for individuals to explore their identity, navigate coming out, and feel deeply seen in their queer experience. Kaylie Gilston, a queer clinician and Licensed Associate Professional Counselor, specializes in supporting neurodivergent people, including those with autism and ADHD. They work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, and provide a tailored approach to meet each client's unique needs. Kaylie's goal is to help clients build practical skills to navigate a world that often isn't designed with their needs in mind, while also creating space to process frustration, grief, and emotional complexity. They believe that building trust, safety, and connection is essential to the therapeutic process, and strive to make therapy approachable, collaborative, and grounded in everyday life. Kaylie's areas of focus include LGBTQIA+, DBT, CBT, EMDR, neurodiversity, and identity exploration. They facilitate a body image group called Embodiment and offer in-person and virtual appointments. With a trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and person-centered approach, Kaylie is dedicated to helping clients feel accepted for who they are and reconnect with their core values and selves.
