Therapists in 21224

The decision to begin therapy and the process of finding a therapist can be challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding. I am an experienced therapist who understands that the most powerful things in life are often the simplest: to listen attentively, whole-heartedly, and with openness and compassion. I am committed to creating a safe, comforting space where you feel free to be yourself.

This may be your first time seeking therapy for yourself, your loved one or your family or you may be looking for a "good fit" and not sure what to expect. My goal is to demystify this process, provide you hope, and empower you to make the changes as we walk through the process together. I utilize an integrative approach, using a variety of treatment modalities to best meet the needs of my clients, guided by both research and evidence based/evidenced informed interventions.

A chronic illness, life-altering injury, or significant loss can challenge the development and psychosocial well-being of a child and cause lasting trauma if not appropriately and intentionally addressed. With my support and guidance, children and families practice coping techniques to navigate their "new normal," engage in legacy-building and memory-making activities to facilitate healthy grief responses, learn about their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment through medical play and education, and feel empowered to advocate for themselves in stressful medical situations.

I believe life is a game and all that happens to us is for a reason. Whenever we face a hardship or obstacle most of the time it's presenting us with an opportunity to grow. We can choose to ignore it or face it head on. If you do ignore it your just doomed to face that problem once again. Which is where I come in. Teaching you tools to conquer life as it happens so you aren't left feeling crippled by your anxiety or depression. The best part about the strategies I used is that their original and effective and leave you feeling confident. Believe me when I say within weeks you'll start to notice a big improvement in how you feel.

Hello, I'm Leana! My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself possible. If your personal struggles are negatively effecting your life, I would like to work with you to better understand them and help you learn how best to deal with them.

Have trouble expressing your feelings or feel like you do not fit in or no one understands you? Does your family ned a nudge to live together more positively? When you receive care at our clinic, we do not only look at your condition(s); we look at you as an individual or family trying to improve your quality of life. Therefore, our approaches revolve around helping you to overcome your personal hurdles and thrive with a newfound sense of mental peace. We also focus on establishing affection and warmth in your relationship with your child in order to equip you in dealing with your child's struggles confidently.

I imagine you may be feeling stuck or struggling in some way, either with a life transition, relationship, job, school issue, emotional rough patch, or unexpected challenge. Life may not be as you expected or maybe you can’t put your finger on it, but something just feels off and you would benefit from talking to someone. You may be feeling unseen, misunderstood, stressed, overwhelmed, and down amongst many other feelings. Please know you’re not alone! Therapy can help you feel less stuck, more yourself, and more capable of tackling life’s challenges.

I believe in your power to transform your life through goal setting and a personal commitment to change. For many people, facing the pain of our childhood and adulthood trauma or experiences is challenging. We often choose to continue avoiding these feelings with hopes they will go away, all in attempt to protect ourselves and to continue pushing through life. In other circumstances, you may have been trying to make a difference, feel like you are not getting anywhere, or do not know where to begin. I’m here to help you navigate through these past and current struggles in a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming space.

Hi! I'm Emily. I am a therapist with a passion for meeting clients exactly where they are and partnering with them on their mental health journey. I have a background in elite sport, having played college soccer at UVA and then going on to coach at UPenn. I use my training in mindfulness based interventions along with a trauma-informed and strengths based approach to help you become the best version of you that you can be. I approach each client individually and believe mental health is a holistic and daily journey. More than anything, I believe that therapy is about safety and connection, and look to provide this to all my clients.

I see clients as capable individuals taking charge of their life, goals, and growth. I am here to help empower, motivate, and encourage clients to gain insight and skills to achieve their personal, professional, and interpersonal relationship goals. I believe in working from a culturally sensitive perspective and understanding that systems and environment impact an individual’s mental well-being. I believe in working collaboratively with clients drawing from various therapeutic techniques depending on what suits and benefits each individual client’s needs and wants.

I have been working in the field of social work for more than 20 years. Since being in the field, I have developed experience as a recruiter within foster care, management and training of foster parents and staff, developing clinicians and helping them grow as therapist. I enjoy providing services to clients who are seeking someone to help them process through their individual struggles in order to help them reach a level of self-empowerment and independency. I don't see what I do as a job or a burden but an enjoyment. I have always strived to give to others what was afforded to me. My mantra is "self-care is always necessary."

Experiencing anxiety, depression, and difficulty controlling thoughts, behaviors and emotions? Are relationship difficulties interfering with your ability to experience a fulfilling and satisfying life? If you have worked with other therapists in the past, or are considering starting for the first time, I have been where you are and understand solutions can sometimes feel unattainable. You don't want to just pay someone to listen, you want to attain and sustain improvements in all facets of your life. You deserve to experience contentment, peace and happiness, and the people closest in your life deserve to have that version of you.
