Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

If you're scrolling therapists on this website, you're probably curious about therapy and if it can be a benefit to you. Experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, stress are all part of the human experience, but sometimes it can become too much and we can no longer do the things we want to do because of these symptoms. If you're looking for someone who won't BS you with 'pinterest therapy', will take the time to listen and deeply understand your issues, and work with you as a team to address and resolve them, then we will be a good fit for each other.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.

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. I offer counseling services and mental health support to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, specializing in Sports Psychology as a designated provider for the Philadelphia Eagles. 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 am a License Professional Counselor helping my clients discover how they can successfully contend with a range of issues, including the challenges of everyday life, abuse issues, trauma, crisis and behavioral and mental health. My mission is to guide my clients to identify their self-worth and to obtain the skills they need to realize their resilience. We pursue these goals through counseling, interpersonal training, education, motivation, exploration and identification. Self-sufficiency and healthy positive development are markers of our success.

I am here to offer supportive/empathic counseling services in collaboration with people who've experienced a series of adverse life events. My belief is that people do the best they can to heal from life's challenges. It is important to me that I understand things from your perspective. What happened? My goal is to offer a safe space for you to freely express who you are, share your life experiences and to support you as you own your truth. Something happened, life became complicated and hard to deal with alone. You've been trying to manage on your own but it’s been difficult. I'm here to support you.

Congratulations! You have taken the first step to seek help, let's explore how we can work together to achieve your goals. As an Attorney, Psychotherapist, Mom and Widow, I understand the stress that comes with trying to balance professional, family, and personal goals, while trying to find "me time" in the midst of a pandemic. At times, this can all feel overwhelming. Let's work together on some coping skills and personal discovery to make this journey easier.

What does therapy mean to you? What makes it so beneficial? How many thoughts, feelings, expectations, questions are you noticing as you take the first step in finding the “right” therapist? You are not alone. Therapy is a collaborative relationship in which I cultivate an open and non-judgmental atmosphere to equip you in facilitating change, fostering vulnerability, and promoting a rich and meaningful life. Whether you want to work towards specific life goals, change, or stressors including complex trauma, cultural issues, anxiety/depression, I strive to guide you through the process and help tackle the "But what will people say?"

I can provide that safe place for someone battling anxiety, depress, or stress. If you are feeling overwhelmed with balancing home and work life, I can be your confidant. We can work collaboratively and begin the journey to wellness. People want peace of mind during this time of chaos and I can provide that calm presence that someone is looking for.

I find that the ability to connect with a client, listen, and offer emotional support at challenging moments in their lives is what I value most about being a therapist. There is immense gratitude for being able to witness the transformation of someone who is progressing to live a life filled with purpose and meanings. I specialize in working with folks with traumas, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also work with clients struggling with relationships issues, OCD, ADHD, immigration issues, and addictions. I also practice psychotherapy in both English and Spanish, and I work with individuals, couples, and families.

You deserve to have every part of yourself be valued, honored, and felt in a way that acknowledges the complexities of life that centers YOUR truth and authenticity. As a first-generation, Queer, Non-Binary, Black and spiritual being, I see the healing space as a transformative space where folx can step in and tap in to those parts of yourself that can really help to facilitate the connection between mind, body, and heart.

I am a trauma-informed, integrative, EMDR therapist. I use ego states and parts work in conjunction with somatic work to help bring ‘online’ the left and right hemispheres of your brain. I am focused on treating the whole person and would like to have an open, honest conversation about what you are looking for and your treatment wants and needs.

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.
