Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Our practice works with Black clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress management to process the origins of their concerns through a racially-sensitive lens. We also work with adult clients seeking to improve their relationships with self and others by helping them understand and process the impact of historical and generational racial trauma on their relationships with themselves, their families, their friends, and their partners.

Feeling lost, confused, stuck in repetitive patterns that often time leave you with more questions, doubts, and uncertainties? Most of us called it "Life". As a marriage and family therapist, I help clients to reframe these negative experiences into life-altering opportunities where growth, healing, and resiliency can occur. Through co-discovery, we will pursue the awareness and mindset necessary for authentic living. Everyone possesses the innate capability to be happy and form long-lasting, healthy relationships. I assist in fostering the tools necessary for such.

I am passionate about serving individuals, couples, and families who are working through various problems in life. My goal is to help you navigate the challenges of life and transition.

I earned a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling & Behavioral Medicine from Boston University School of Medicine, complementing my double major in Psychology and Sociology from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Utilizing the Eco-Systemic Family Therapy Model, an evidence-based treatment, my clinical work focuses on helping families, couples, and individuals achieve treatment goals.

I have extensive experience and interest in working with individuals looking to recover from the effects of growing up in alcoholic or other dysfunctional households. Adversity and traumatic experiences are common. Strategies to reduce the impacts can include numbing, detaching, becoming depressed/hopeless, compulsiveness (i.e. acting without thinking), over-functioning, over-responsibility, avoidance, isolation, perfectionism, procrastination, hypervigilance and many others. All of which are protective and helpful when needed but often lead to inner conflict and unintended blowback including feelings of shame and worthlessness.

You're a successful person, yet you feel as if something is missing. It seems like you're caught in a cycle of conflict and negativity, both within yourself and with others. What you really desire is the sense of calmness that comes with confidence. Instead, frustration and exhaustion seem to be your constant companions. You're eager for a transformation! Let's embark on this journey together, igniting your potential, unveiling new possibilities, and sculpting the life you envision. Or, maybe you're here for your child or teen. You sense their struggle, understanding their pain even when words fail them. You both feel stuck.

Hi, I'm Lea. I am a licensed clinical and counseling therapist based in Pennsylvania. I have extensive experience treating a wide range of concerns from general life stressors and relational challenges, to more significant clinical concerns such as PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder. I specialize in treating trauma related disorders in adults, adolescents, and children. I am trained in DBT, PCIT, and TFCBT. I also have experience using Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

You are a complex and nuanced human, designed for wholeness, beauty and truth. However, few of us experience this freedom. Suffering in the world is real and you have your own story and experience with it. You have questions, fears, and anxieties about today and tomorrow. You have grief, shame, pain, and loss from your past. Your pain is real, your losses hurt, even when they don’t make sense. And, if you’re like the majority of people, you likely have nobody who knows your pain or will walk through the depths of it with you. We want to hold your burden and suffering with you as you look into your life and its brokenness.

Your Well-Being is my priority at Peace of Mind Therapeutic Services. I provide a warm and affirming therapeutic approach. My goal is to help you develop self-understanding where you can identify barriers, adopt healthy living choices, and behaviors that are congruent with the peace you hope to achieve. At Peace of Mind Therapeutic Services, I strive for clients to heal from the past so that they can enjoy life, feel more confident, improve relationships, find peace and ultimately live your best life on purpose!

My goal as a therapist is to create an environment, and to foster a relationship in which my clients feel seen, heard, and safe to express their full range of emotions. Life is complicated, and much of the time people are burdened with meeting others’ expectations; in my practice I hope people feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable, and entirely themselves. Once our relationship is fostered through trust, honesty, and safety, a client and I will unpack and process negative self-beliefs, explore the importance of past and present relationships, and implement strategies to promote long term wellness.

If you experience anxiety or depression due to relationship issues, challenges with work/school, uncertainties of where your symptoms stem from I am here to help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania that specializes in working with individuals with suicidal thoughts, and domestic violence. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults.

Life comes with its challenges, and in a world where there can at times seem to be a collective sense of pain, I view therapy as a journey that provides us with the opportunity to become more in tune with ourselves. In doing so, we develop new ways to prevail and thrive. Being a queer person of color, I have dedicated my time in the field to supporting those who have lived similar experiences to my own. In sessions, I seek to create a trusting relationship that highlights your strengths.

In my work with my clients, I try to create a warm and empathic space where you can feel safe enough to reconnect to hope and purpose. I feel honored to be present with my clients as they navigate and explore their inner and outer lives, and bear witness to their healing and recovery. I have a specialty in trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and relational issues. Other mental health concerns I work with include substance abuse, depression, ADHD, self-harm, and stress management.

True, enduring healing is transformative. It restores self-confidence and wholeness diminished by life stressors such as challenging relationships, loss, systemic oppression, abuse, and trauma, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and ineffective coping patterns. I am deeply dedicated to creating the compassionate, understanding and trusting space essential for you to heal, thrive, and (re)learn to trust your own wisdom. Together we can discover your most grounded, authentic and healthy self, enhance insight, and align your life with your goals, values, and dreams. You deserve exceptional care, patience, understanding, and peace.

I am very excited that you are taking the next step in your healing journey! My name is Dr. MD and I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience and training. I received my family therapy training at Drexel University where I received my doctorate degree. Since then, I have worked in a wide variety of settings, equipping me with a wealth of knowledge and experience helping clients deal with various challenges.
