Is it difficult for you to feel present or manage stress? Do you seek more balance in your life? I serve individuals & couples who struggle with anxiety, caretaking, grief/loss, and complex trauma. Together we can explore how these challenges have impacted your life, and through a nervous-system lens cultivate more supportive ways of regulating through emotional uncertainty, as well as empower your voice in the process of healing.

It's okay to be human. When our lives feel messy, out-of-control, or even unbearable, it's easy to forget that the human experience is inherently a messy one. If you are striving to understand yourself and your relationships to those around you, to grow and heal, and to explore being a messy human, I would love to share this experience with you. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with challenges such as personal/intergenerational trauma, couples/intimacy issues, relationship conflict, adoption/fostering, emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, neurodivergent challenges, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it"-Unknown Inspiration is a person, place, experience that makes someone want to do something or create something. I like to think of therapy as a place to inspire people to do better, to want better, to create better and to live better. My ultimate goal is for my clients to walk out feeling empowered and courageous about obstacles that may come their way. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where vulnerabilities are embraced and used to shape people into the human beings they were created to be.

As a licensed psychologist, I work with adults, teens (16 and older) and couples. I am here to help with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, life transitions and more. Through respect, understanding, honesty and a touch of humor, therapy becomes a safe place to ease distress and accomplish goals. As we work together, therapy can help with easing symptoms, healing and recovery, improving life satisfaction, relationships and well being. I incorporate the wisdom and tools from various psychotherapy approaches.

I strongly believe we are all capable of change and work with people who want to make positive change in their lives but are unsure about where to start. Therapy sessions help those dealing with depression, anxiety, divorce, chronic illness, relationship issues, grief/loss to improve coping skills, to take better care of themselves, and to reduce stress. I am a clinical social worker with over 25 yrs. experience doing therapy with adults, couples and groups. My office is conveniently located near public transportation and street parking is available.

Deciding to speak to a stranger about your personal life can be daunting. Finding the right therapist is often a matter of "fit." I don't believe that I know what is right for you. I believe something in you knows what is right for you, and that it is my job to help us listen for that inner knowing. I have an interactive style that is challenging and compassionate. The nature of my work with clients is determined first and foremost by your needs and preferences.

Are you feeling stuck, lost, or worried about your future? I work with people who are struggling with grief and other life transitions who yearn for a new beginning.

My areas of specialty include grief and loss, relationship concerns, Adult Children of Alcoholics , self-esteem , giftedness in adults, and life transitions. I also assist those who are working on career issues and those striving to be their authentic selves.

Now offering virtual and in person therapy. As one of a handful of psychologists worldwide with a doctorate in Somatic (body-oriented) Psychology, I am able to work with the cognitive, emotional, somatic, spiritual, and energetic aspects of a person. I am an ideal therapist for people that have tried traditional therapy and feel that "something was missing".

I believe the most powerful tool we can offer others is our ability to authentically, genuinely and completely listen. I have been privileged to work with many children, teens and adults and bear witness to their stories. It has been the most profound gift and I am grateful to have been trusted with the opportunity to hear them. My work as a clinician is grounded in listening. In establishing a safe, supportive and nurturing co-created environment. It is rooted in helping people find their voice and trust their own ability to change their lives. The power of being present and fully in the moment can transform lives.

Feeling stuck and wondering why? Or what you can do about it? Let’s work together to identify your goals and create a path towards them. Along the way we will work on self-acceptance, self-love and developing an understanding of all spheres of yourself. My ideal client struggles to find their words, has difficulties describing what’s happening to them, and often needs validation and acceptance. All stressors, regardless of intensity, can leave us feeling powerless and hopeless as they accumulate. Sometimes people fall short and are not sure why, working with a therapist can help you understand what might be getting in your way.

I enjoy helping others overcome sleep disturbance, bothersome anxiety, adjusting to the challenges of parenthood and improving communication skills. I mostly focus on your present situation and apply various solution-focused modalities to help reach your therapeutic goals.

The counseling relationship thrives when you are able to be open, knowing that your vulnerable stories will be received with empathy and acceptance. Whatever struggles you feel now or whatever barrier is impeding your goals, whether it be depression, anxiety, addiction, or unresolved trauma, the safety of a comfortable counseling relationship is the first step to begin healing. I believe everyone has the ability to develop resilience and function in this world as their true self, despite any pain or fear previously blocking your path. My goal is to help you live confidently as your true self, even if that means embracing our quirks.

Hi and welcome! My name is Elyse and I am an eating disorder and body image specialist in the Philadelphia area. I also work extensively with anxiety disorders, self-esteem, and trauma co-occurring with an eating disorder or as stand-alone issues. I believe that with some courage, commitment, and hope, we can do great things and I am passionate about helping my clients realize their worth and how strong and resilient they really are. I understand that what is hurting you may also be protecting you, and that letting go is no easy feat. I'm here though, to hold your hand, cheer you on, and remind you that you can do this.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here! Whatever your reason for seeking therapy for yourself or your teen, I am so happy to help you along your path. Maybe you've been facing anxiety that interrupts your life with worry, intrusive thoughts, and panic attacks; or depression that keeps you stuck within sadness, hopelessness, or feeling numb and disconnected. Challenges within your relationships - romantic, family, friends - make it feel scary to connect with people and trust others. Perhaps you've suffered traumatic experiences and relationships that have left you feeling lost, hoping to feel like yourself again.

You are awakening to live an authentic, conscious life. Together we explore your awakening to bring in more of what brings you joy, love and ease: perhaps it is creativity, maybe opening to your soul's longings, or moving beyond old patterns. You feel it is time to trust your intuition and your heart space. You want someone who knows the courage it takes to change and live beyond the ego. You want someone who can deeply listen to the words and the wordless. You seek someone with traditional and alternative training to journey beyond what is traditionally explored in therapy.

Taking on change is hard work and takes a tremendous amount of courage. I value building a strong therapeutic relationship and providing a non-judgmental, empathetic, and safe space in which you might explore the problems and stressors in your life. My goal as your therapist is to help identify what prevents you from feeling good and accomplishing your goals, and finding ways to address these difficulties. Together, we can identify and nurture your strengths, and find hope and peace and change within suffering.
