I'm Dr. El McCabe, but you can call me El. I am a licensed psychologist with a passion for helping LGBTQ+ individuals, students, athletes, and those struggling with romantic, platonic, and familial relationship concerns. I have substantial experience and derive joy from working with Bisexual, Non-Binary, Transgender folx.
As a therapist, I am warm, relationship-oriented, and direct. I let you set the pace of treatment and help you build confidence in your innate abilities to heal and persevere during difficult seasons of life. I strive to create a safe, yet empowering space for you to bring the “messiest” parts of yourself into the room during our sessions. I use a mixture of talk-therapy (psychodynamic) & more structured skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help tailor treatment to your needs. Expect a deep interest in you as a person, beyond your diagnosis! Outside of the therapy room, I am an avid fan of NY sports, a big reader, and lover of all things outdoors.
I am comfortable meeting with individuals across the lifespan from 16 years old through older adulthood. I also enjoy working with couples and leading groups at the practice. I am currently licensed in the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York as a psychologist, but can also see clients from 43 different states via telehealth (PSYPACT authorized). Feel free to reach out if I sound like a good fit for you and your current needs. Either way, I wish you luck on your healing journey!
