"People often engage in patterns of feeling, thought and action that reliably lead to suffering. These patterns may arise from responses to difficult and even traumatic experiences. They made good sense at some point, but now get in the way, causing anxiety, depression, shame and frustration. I work with people to bring increased awareness to the human potential caught up in old patterns, and via that awareness, to an enhanced sense of choice and self confidence and ease. My work draws on your wisdom, as well as my own."

"I can help people suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder. I am also capable of assisting patients dealing with anxiety and stress which often lead to these disorders."

"I'm a results-oriented psychotherapist, executive/performance coach, columnist, and author of BE FEARLESS: Change Your Life in 28 Days. I work with individuals/couples on a wide range of issues. My patients come from all walks of life including professionals, students, executives, actors/actresses, musicians, athletes, and much more. My office is conveniently located in Center City, Philadelphia just steps from Rittenhouse Square and I have flexible hours that includes daytime, evenings, nights, and weekends. I also have an office located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan and Washington, D.C. and can provide remote sessions globally via Skype and telephone."

"Most clients come to therapy not sure what to expect and unsure of what has been happening; they just know they aren't happy. The only thing my client needs is a desire to feel better. We'll work together to come up with goals and a strategy that you're comfortable with. You can expect a compassionate, individualized approach."

"I specialize in therapy care for children, teens and young adults and families. Parents are included as part of the therapy process from start to finish. Individuals and couples are also seen using a relational lens. Issues you may want to focus on are building cooperation and fostering openness instead of hostility and defiance; growing self esteem and confidence instead of fearfulness, clinging and sadness; increasing tolerance and self control instead of tantrums and aggression. Our work will heal family patterns of discord, hurt and division and will help children along their journey of becoming a confident, well rounded individual."

"When working with individuals, I have been successful in helping people struggling with the anxiety that comes with forming their sense of identity through career and intimate relationships. I am also skilled in helping clients explore their sexual orientation. I work with people in recovery from substance dependence and sexual compulsivity. I enjoy helping couples heal from infidelity and improve their efforts to communicate, resolve conflict and feel understood. I work with couples who are considering or coping with the transition to a family of three. Recently my focus has turned to couples who are exploring an open relationship."

"It's not easy to find the right psychotherapist. You want someone who is empathic while remaining professional, intuitive as well as smart, compassionate without sacrificing competence, warm but able to remain clear and focused. Someone you "click" with, someone you can trust and have confidence in, someone who will be your ally in figuring out the puzzle that is you. With over 30 years' experience as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Center City Philadelphia, I may be the psychotherapist you seek. I specialize in treating individual adults and couples with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or life transitions."

"I see myself as a life consultant and partner in change. Clients who work with me are tired of feeling stuck in behaviors or emotional ruts that don't afford them freedom to live well. Trying new things, taking risks and experimenting with new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving are all part of the therapy. The client who sees me is ready, willing and, even if a bit scared, ready to find a centered self."

"Whether you’ve been in therapy for years or are coming in for the first time, I welcome you! A non-judgmental and impartial space is key for moving through life’s challenges. Some are initially unsure of their goals for therapy and that's okay, come just as you are, and together we can figure out what makes the most sense for you. "

"I work with individuals, families and couples struggling with issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorders, Asperger's, ADD, ADHD and Family and Marital Conflict. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and families struggling with behavioral and academic issues."

"Is your child, teenager, or college student struggling academically? Are you unsure why your student is not performing as well as you expected? Even after talking to teachers and school counselors, many parents are unclear whether the student can't perform, won't perform, or is having so much anxiety that success is hindered."

"I will listen carefully to your description of what is causing you the most stress and we will arrive at a plan together for how to help you. I am well trained in multiple theories and methods for helping people to feel better and act in ways that they prefer to act. I am respectful and empathetic and one of my primary goals is help you to feel hope that you will get through even the hardest experiences. I have seen how much a good therapeutic relationship can help to restore that hope and to expand your options for coping and for changing."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have 25 years experience working with individuals, adults, and college students. I offer caring and personalized therapy and counseling."

"As a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer psychotherapy and evaluation. My therapy clients work with me on a variety of issues, including anxiety & ODD, loss, relationships, adoption, career challenges, and adult ADD. My treatment approaches include psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, and social skills training. Your treatment will be tailored to your culture, communication style, and other personal factors. I avoid gimmicks and trendy ideas that have not been demonstrated effective for long-term change. As a forensic psychologist, I provide evaluations and expert testimony for civil and criminal proceedings, including immigration, adoption, ADA accommodation, guardianship, juvenile competency, and waiver."

"Dr. Kurlansik offers supportive, evidence-based treatment for adults. He is a skilled diagnostician with experience in treating a wide range of problems including anxiety (stress, panic, worrying, health anxiety, etc.), depression, stress, ADHD, and relationship issues). He is an educator who has trained both physicians and psychologists in the treatment of mental health issues, as well as in effective interview skills (including "bedside manner"). He believes that warmth, empathy, mutual respect and a bit of humor are essential to the therapy/counseling process. He truly enjoys his patients and his work."

"I specialize in working with children and adolescents ages 2 and up. I treat symptoms such as: separation-anxiety,enuresis/encopresis, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress-disorder, oppositional and disruptive behavior, attention deficits, school resistance, poor academic performance, difficulty with peer relations, gender dysphoria and conflicts around sexual orientation. While I work with children individually, I also regularly involve parents. I aim to position myself as a support person for everyone in the family, particularly parents, knowing that the emotional well-being of children is entwined with the emotional well-being of the people who care for them."

"I have had over 30 years of experience working with clients who are experiencing difficulties at transition times in their lives. I work with adolescents, adults and the elderly who are going through challenges associated with life cycle changes such as relationship problems, school or job related problems or dealing with chronic or acute medical problems. I work from a family systems perspective and often work with family members of those experiencing the kinds of issues I mentioned above. Many of the clients I work with present with depression, anxiety, anger, significant loss , couples issues and/or parenting issues."

"We all develop ways to cope with the demands of life, and often these ways work quite well, until they don't. Together, we will identify patterns of thought and behavior that are holding you back rather than moving you forward. Sometimes this work involves addressing and healing past wounds, perhaps from trauma or unhelpful messages you've told yourself or received from others. Often it involves learning skills to free yourself from unhelpful thinking patterns like chronic worry, rumination, and self-blame so that you can be fully present and enjoy your life."

"I specialize in mental health issues unique to women, with a particular focus on maternal health. I treat women struggling with infertility, anxiety and/or depression during pregnancy and postpartum as well as perinatal loss and stillbirth. All of these issues can leave one feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, lonely and isolated, sometimes even if you already have a great support system in place. I also work with adult men and women experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, eating and body shape related concerns as well as individuals coping with medical diagnoses."

"Personal growth is a process of empowerment--an awakening to our capacity for welcoming change into our lives. My role as therapist is to meet you where you are. Through our supportive alliance, you'll gain an advocate committed to helping you connect with new possibilities and inner resources to achieve your goals. I provide a comfortable space for safe exploration. I value attentive listening and curiosity about how a compassionate understanding of your past can often inform the resolution of distressing circumstances in your present."
