Hey there, I’m Dr. Gina Marchando, DMFT, LMFT, ChT, the Philly Love Doc.

You can call me Dr. G!

I’m Philadelphia’s expert on love, relationships, intimacy, sex, and everything in between.

P.S. Do you live in another Pennsylvania city, New Jersey, or Florida?

I can help you, too, through online therapy!

Pull up a seat, make yourself at home, and let’s dig into the hard stuff. . . together.

My therapy practice located right here in Philadelphia is a safe, trauma-informed space for individuals and couples to explore relational patterns, including attachment, intimacy, and even betrayal.

Are you facing challenges in love, relationships, intimacy, sex, or all of the above?

Does it feel like you’re just never satisfied in your romantic relationships? Or maybe you’re finding yourself in the same toxic patterns over and over (and over and over again)?

Have you already tried to make some changes, but your past experiences in therapy or DIY approaches just haven’t cut it?

If you’re looking for a different kind of sex and relationship therapist who gets real f*cking results, you found her!

I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, and I’ve created my practice using evidence-based approaches that actually address issues like addiction, trauma, and betrayal that impact you and your relationships.

Together we can collectively identify – and change – the underlying core injuries preventing you from being happy and healthy in relationships.

Most importantly, I’m not afraid of a tough case. I’m a direct, active therapist, an open-minded realist, and I’m not scared to have difficult conversations.

I love working with clients who have “failed” at therapy before, who really want to address their underlying issues – and ultimately change their lives.
