I am a child-adolescent specialist but have experience with and enjoy working with clients of all ages. Life can be tough sometimes, and the pandemic has added a whole new meaning to the word stress. It can be difficult to be emotionally present at work, with family, and sometimes it can feel hard to even breathe. I am here to help you to break free from past trauma and unhelpful thinking patterns, process difficult emotions that may hold you back, support you through life's challenging moments, and empower you to live your best life.

My passion for treating teens and adults with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) comes from years of seeing clients genuinely heal from this incredibly effective approach to treatment and go on to live happy and productive lives more fulfilling than they ever thought possible. Difficulty managing strong emotions can negatively influence every aspect of a person's life from intimate relationships, to one's work environment, and family connections. By utilizing a combination of skills training (in an individual or group format) along with individual DBT sessions, my clients complete treatment armed with the skill-set and knowledge to reach their true potential.

Maybe you are looking for support in recovering from a complicated relationship with food, eating disorder, body image concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, pregnancy/postpartum, a life transition or some overlap of these struggles? I offer a nonjudgmental space for us to access all aspects of your humanity and experiences with a sense of curiosity, compassion, and increased awareness. Together we’ll explore how your past experiences have shaped you and your present day life as well as empower you to create a fulfilling future.

I love working with people who want to learn how their past affects the present. I am very down-to-earth and respect the special relationship between client and therapist.

Feeling stuck in behavioral patterns, and thought-focused (CBT) therapies haven't worked? You've come to the right place! ​ Holistic Healing Therapy refers to the treatment of ALL of you, not just focusing on mental health symptom reduction.

Dr. 'Ted' Dewart is one of the more popular and respected Senior Psychologists throughout the greater Philadelphia area, treating anxiety, stress, depression, marital problems, and/or addiction. Additionally, he provides coaching to a number of Senior Executives. Ted's dynamic style makes him a particularly desirable therapist both for male and female populations trying to navigate the most painful of emotions as well as confusing life situations.

I believe that you are already capable of change and I guide you through stepping into it. I specialize in anxiety and relationships. Much of my work has been in treating anxious individuals who struggle with worry, self-doubt, and "analysis paralysis". I can help you recognize what is interfering with your daily life, relationships and overall well-being and adopt healthier belief systems. I am also especially passionate about helping couples recognize the "stuck points" in their communication patterns and ways of relating to each other and replace them with with vulnerability, closeness, and connection.

How does the "talking cure" help? It might have even been called the "listening cure." Having a helpful and supportive ear is something many people find they need at various transition points in their lives. Having a safe place to talk, in a warm and supportive environment, is crucial. The tool of our work is the relationship and, as research has shown, is the most important predictor of success in psychotherapy. I enjoy working with my patients as they seek to find their way to a richer and more fulfilling life.

As a therapist, I work with my clients to help them move toward a fulfilling, connected, and meaningful life. As human beings, we each have core yearnings to belong, to feel our experience is meaningful, and to know our lives matter. Unfortunately, because life sometimes involves emotional, psychological, social, and physical pain we can get stuck in patterns that don’t serve us. I help people develop insight into who they are and what they want, so they can make choices with greater clarity and confidence and live with greater balance and healing.

I have worked as a therapist in a variety of mental health settings including inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient therapy.

Although I work with clients of all ages, I largely work with young to middle-aged adults in individual therapy.

Leiza Stanley believes in the power of relationship. Through the use of the therapeutic relationship she aims to achieve what is referred to as a corrective experience. A positive corrective experience is achieved when the therapist and client together resolve emotional pain.

I believe that establishing a strong therapeutic relationship, creating a safe nonjudgmental environment, and understanding the unique experiences of the individual is crucial for clients to be able to fully engage in the counseling process to enact their desired changes in life. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma and have experience working with individuals who are managing the challenges of domestic violence. In addition to this work, I also work with underrepresented and minoritized college students through transitional and academic challenges.

Life gets hard. I hope to offer you a patient, comfortable place where you can find support and restoration, as you work to process through whatever life is throwing at you. I firmly believe that the key to emotional health starts with learning to love yourself. And if you’re seeking therapy, you’re already a step closer to that goal. I use a strengths-based approach that focuses around bringing awareness to your feelings and their sources, and an understanding of the way that these feelings connect to your behaviors. From there, we can work together to help you cultivate a sense of control over your life.

As a therapist, my passion lies in collaboratively working with adults, guiding them through the therapeutic process while supporting self-reflection, insight, and understanding patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that become troublesome and ineffective. I provide a safe and unbiased environment to find a healthy and effective balance in life as daily stressors and events can be challenging and overwhelming to manage. Through individualized treatment planning, my approach is solution focused and personalized to fit the needs of each individual to effect personal change, develop healthy coping skills, and progress towards meaningful goals.

There are so many of us in this world who are hurting and broken. I believe that you have the right to be heard. You deserve a safe place to share your thoughts, feelings and situations that are causing you pain. All of us have different reasons for pain; anxiety, depression, fear, broken relationships and so many more. I am privileged to provide you a safe place to share your pain, to walk along side you as you process your pain and to help you achieve healing as you move beyond your pain. Not only do I believe in this process of therapy; I BELIEVE HEALING DOES AWAIT YOU. Let’s begin the process of healing together!

I have helped individuals struggling with a wide variety of issues such as: ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, grief and loss, identity issues, marital difficulties, trauma, and communication skills.

Feeling stuck with your kiddo or teen? Feeling like they may need someone to talk to, but worried they may not open up? As an art therapist and licensed professional counselor, I may be able to help. As a board certified art therapist, I provide each client with the ability to express their thoughts, feelings, fears, and obstacles through the creative process. My clients' comfort and safety is my priority, and I strive to provide a consistent and nonjudgmental space in which clients of all ages can realize their full potential.

​​Relationships and experiences impact who we are as individuals, partners, and members of groups. Our relational patterns are encoded within us and shape our sense of self as well as the ways we relate to those around us. Things we avoid thinking about or addressing have a habit of emerging again and again. ​Therapy can help to illuminate, reflect on, process, and metabolize thoughts and feelings that may be preventing us from living the lives we want. I offer a supportive approach to help you manage anxiety, ease fear, and develop tools to build resilience.
