Self Esteem Therapists in 19103

We all deserve wholeness. Sometimes our relationships can hurt us, sometimes trauma harms us, and the very act of living in this world can cause pain and suffering. And sometimes we are trying the best we can to cope and survive. Reclaiming wholeness and healing is possible. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have expertise in treating a wide range of mental health concerns and in supporting individuals, couples, and families. I approach therapy from a place that affirms and honors your whole self. I will empower you and hold space for you as you reclaim what has been taken, learn to listen to your own voice, and begin to heal.

Are you struggling with a life transition, stressors, anxiety, or depression? Are you a college student having a difficult time adjusting to their first year in college, a young adult/adult working through career, family, relationship, or personal discovery stressors, or someone who is struggling with depression and finds they have a general lack of motivation?

Hi there! My name is Shannon Skahan and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering telehealth therapy for clients located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. I received my master's degree from the University of Chicago and have provided individual short-term and long-term therapy within higher education mental health, inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings, group private practice, and a a county jail throughout my career. It is an honor to bear witness to the experiences my clients share during our work together, and I employ a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach throughout treatment.

Seeking support is an important step if you're facing the challenges of everyday life. The journey towards therapy may seem overwhelming at first, but it can significantly improve your mental well-being and personal growth. Taking the initiative to find peace and happiness is an accomplishment in itself. During this vulnerable time, having someone supportive and validating of your experiences is crucial. As someone who has worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for over 20 years, I have had the privilege of helping people overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I am a licensed psychologist located in Center City and have been treating patients in the Philadelphia area since 2007. I work with individuals, couples, children and families. I have trained in psychodynamic, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral therapies. My research and practice specialties include personality assessment, eating disorders, and working with family systems. In treatment, I focus on using my understanding of human behavior to help my patients better understand what thoughts and wishes motivate them as well as what fears or anxieties might be getting in their way.

The goal of therapy is to facilitate personal growth and help you improve your life. I believe there is no one-size-fits all approach to therapy, so this can take many shapes and forms depending on your needs. Whether you're looking to build self-awareness, strengthen your relationships, change your unwanted habits, better manage your stress or just feel better emotionally - I am here to help!

The helping profession which is often referred to as therapy or counseling has been my life-long goal. My desire has made me a patient, attentive, and non-judgmental listener and has shaped my approach to understanding clients’ needs better. I am also supportive and seek positivity in every situation presented. I thrive to make clients feel safe including even reluctant clients to find their own way during treatment but also help clients to learn how to take personal responsibility to take charge of their behavior. I facilitate, encourage, empower, and help the client discover their potential.

I offer you new learning about yourself and new neurological wiring based on scientific findings about mind and body. We build on your strengths and bring greater balance to your thinking, your emotions and your behavior. We meet mostly by teletherapy, but we might meet in-person for our first visit and afterwards. We focus on body awareness, identifying regressive triggers, and mastering skills to manage greater joy in life, stronger connections and resilience. When we agree that you are ready, you can join our monthly workshop where your will learn and practice resilience skills with others.

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Pennsylvania.

I work with those experiencing mental health issues, trauma, and addictions. An ideal client would be someone who took suggestions and invested in their own healing. Their needs may include a mood disorder or behavior that they want to change. We would work on their thinking and how that impacts their behaviors. We would also look at their motivations and how to increase their motivations to make better decisions. The goal would be that the client would do what they learn in therapy while living their lives. They would no longer need me to help them through things and would be able to lean on their natural support.

Are you experiencing symptoms related to anxiety or depression and want a better understanding of yourself and your relationships? Are you motivated for therapy and open to the challenges and rewards that therapy provides?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges or even every day demands? Know that you do not have to struggle alone and are worthy of a life filled with hope and serenity.

Are you struggling with depression and/or substance use? Do you feel hopelessness and helplessness, have poor sleep, poor appetite, and increased alcohol intake? Your Goals may be to improve sleep, use 2-3 skills to help identify and work through ANT/Cognitive Distortions, keep a food mood diary, and incorporate foods to improve mood. You may be seeking psychoeducation surrounding the effects of alcohol, including it being a depressant, identifying 2-3 techniques used to promote physical wellness, and using 4-6 days per week (cardio, yoga, stretching, etc.).

People come to me confronting many issues in their lives, fears of intimacy, difficulty setting or achieving goals at work, marital problems, problems with other family members, grief and loss. I see my job as exploring these issues and finding ways to deal with and resolve them so that the patient is able to find ways to deal with their feelings, find solutions to their problems, and be able to move forward in their life in the most effective and healthy way.

I find it deeply rewarding to help people decrease the suffering in their lives and move toward greater fulfillment. Working together, we would identify and develop your strengths, remove obstacles, and build skills to reach your goals. Cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and in-depth approaches such as IFS are especially useful in my work. I have an expertise in anxiety based problems, as well as with relationship concerns and depression. My style is interactive. Clients find that I create a warm environment of acceptance, insight and compassion in which people feel safe to take risks to explore themselves and to learn new skills.

An ideal client for me is someone who has difficulty managing their emotions, engages in frequent negative thinking, and has trouble communicating their needs with family and friends. They want to decrease their anxious or depressive behaviors but have little knowledge of how to begin regulating their emotions.

Are you struggling with difficult life transitions, depression, & anxiety? I enjoy working with clients who feel motivated to take that first step of exploring reasons why they are feeling unhappy or dissatisfied with their lives right now. I work with clients who want to gain insight & learn tangible skills that they can practice outside of the therapeutic sessions to change their lives for the better. My role as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to help individuals gain insight and feel empowered to create positive change in their lives. I offer a collaborative approach to create a unique treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PA, DE, NJ) living in Philadelphia.

Everyone deserves a journey of self-healing and self-discovery. In fact, allowing yourself to blossom is the avenue to experiencing self-love and meaningful connections with others.

I attended the University of California, San Diego, followed by Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, studying Clinical Psychology, Critical Gender Studies, and Transpersonal Psychology.
