I believe that healing often occurs best in the context of a safe and trusting relationship between a client and therapist. As a psychotherapist, I strive to create a secure, caring, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients so that therapy is a place they feel fully seen, heard, understood, and respected. I work from an integrative and holistic perspective, meeting each client where they are and working collaboratively with clients to reach their own personal goals and to create lasting, meaningful change and healing in their lives.

Are you looking to inspire hope and change in your life? A therapist who will listen to your needs and help you move from where you are to where you want to be? If so, I can guide you through the process of reorganizing your thinking and helping you gain the emotional and behavioral skills needed to make the lifestyle changes you are seeking. It is comforting to have a supportive, qualified clinician with you on your journey of facing challenges that may feel too difficult to face by yourself.

No matter the reason you are seeking help, you may have the sense that now is the time to begin. Therapy can help you learn more about yourself, establish goals, and work towards improving your well-being. In my practice, I approach psychotherapy with an empathic drive to help people understand themselves more deeply. I embrace a balance between targeting the immediate problem and providing space to build a relationship with my clients grounded in trust, openness, and flexibility.

I believe every individual has insight, wisdom and a unique set of personal strengths to resolve their challenges and alleviate their suffering. By creating a warm, safe and nurturing environment, you and I can work together to find solutions and break through painful or difficult life challenges and transitions. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, depression, and other mood disorders. I also specialize in maternal mental health, including perinatal mood disorders, grief, loss, and infertility.

I help people identify and understand their strengths and use those strengths to help them feel ready to make changes and take action. In a supportive space, I get to know you and how your brain works. I think we need to accept ourselves, forgive ourselves for past mistakes, and embrace our current stressors as challenges to navigate and move through. I believe that we need to understand our thought processes to answer the following: Why do we think the way we do? Why do we hyper-focus on some things but then have trouble focusing on other tasks? Why can't we quiet our minds and tune out from our worries?

Living with anxiety and depression can be overwhelming. It may feel like fear is taking over your life and keeping you from some of the things you enjoy and value most. I prioritize creating a safe environment and trusting therapeutic relationship with clients. Our work together will emphasize your values, strengths, and goals to develop a collaborative plan to re-engage with life. I specialize in working with clients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the full spectrum of anxiety disorders, including BFRB's (trichotillomania/skin picking). I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Welcome! I offer a warm and supportive space in which you, your child, or your family can reflect on any number of aspects of daily life and personal experience. Each of us is unique and we all respond differently to life's natural transitions and complexities. I believe that everyone deserves individualized and tailored support through therapy. I utilize a warm, authentic, and collaborative approach to psychotherapy, which prioritizes our therapeutic relationship and the ways in which we can work together to benefit you, your child, or your family.

During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and in order for therapy to help, you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and developing a feeling of safety

Growing up, I found sex and sexuality to be important parts of life that no one talked about (especially in the household I grew up in). I found myself doing lots of research regarding sex, sexuality, motherhood, gender, reproductive rights, sexual health, and sexual education. At the age of 17, I realized I often found myself listening to and supporting others; then I discovered therapy. I could finally combine my interest in sexuality and gender studies with my ability to support and listen. Instantly, I knew this was the career path for me.

We are a diverse group of therapists that provide the help and support you need through difficult times, or if you are just looking to improve your quality of life! Our therapists are experienced and trained specifically in Art therapy, mindfulness, and CBT and are experts in resolving difficult issues such as anxiety, depression, issues, relationship problems and workplace issues. We specialize in treating anxiety, trauma and body image issues.

Many of us, at some point in our lives, experience stress, struggle with interpersonal relationships, and question our self-worth. I have extensive experience and work comfortably with individuals who identify as LGBTQ*, those living with HIV/AIDS, in addition to emerging adults struggling with life transitions through a relational psychodynamic orientation. I believe therapy can provide tremendous relief, improve satisfaction in life, and allow clients to know and experience a deeper sense of themselves. It can be difficult to start therapy--that is why I approach our work together from a place of compassion and authenticity.

The therapeutic process is more than empathic listening and supportive talk. It is a creative vehicle of self-realization, empowerment and change.

Hi there! My name is Silvina and I am bilingual therapist specializing in Trauma, Anxiety, and Stress. Are you someone that is struggling with stress, anxiety, chronic illness, or trauma? Do you often feel overwhelmed and confused with what's happening with your body/ mind/ emotions? I help people to understand and overcome these emotions by helping them break down and identify what is happening in the body, thoughts, and feelings as well as pointing out overarching patterns. My biggest asset is to ‘hold space’ for you so that you safely feel seen, heard, and validated.

Many people choose to enter therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves – their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in addition to problems in their interpersonal relationships.  Oftentimes, the issues we face in the present stem from painful experiences in the past.  As a result of these experiences, we develop ways of coping in the world – some continue to serve us well and others may get in the way of us living a more fulfilling life. I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment for exploration, healing, and growth.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist that works collaboratively with individuals, couples and families. I have a special interest in working with adolescents and young adults going through transitional periods (i.e., school, new job, college, new relationship, etc.). My goal is to improve family dynamics, address intrusive issues, thoughts, and aim to improve the relationship with yourself and/or others. My training allows me to assist my clients in grounding their innate ability to feel more in charge of their life. This is done through having the ability to identify and express one’s feelings, needs and desires.

I opened a private practice in Northern Liberties because I believe in changing the way we value mental health. Relationships are hard work and going to therapy should be productive. I believe in addressing all aspects of my client's life because if we do not treat the system, there is no way we can expect change to happen. My holistic approach combined with the importance I place on giving the client the space to share is what makes my practice different than others. At In Between the Lines, we actually work on your wellness (and we are trained to do so).

"Does this support the life I am trying to create?" is a question I ask myself daily. It is important to me that our therapeutic relationship fosters a safe, accepting, and collaborative space by exploring resilience, strengths, and informed curiosity. I strive to facilitate self-empowerment and self-efficacy through adaptive coping/behavioral skills, strengthening cognitive insight, while honoring that change is hard when life gets rough. My work with individuals who have felt unheard and invalidated has led me to conceptualize concerns related to eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance use as closely intertwined.

Are you bothered by past events, memories, or nightmares? Do memories bring pain and/or shame? Do you feel anxious and on edge all the time? Do you have problems falling asleep? Many things might be overwhelming at the movement, but people have the ability to heal and recover. Everyone's journey is different, but I have witnessed people feeling happy without medication after feeling shaky for years, people stopping self-injury behaviors and starting to nurture and love themselves, people trusting again after being hurt by others.

*Accepting new Telehealth clients.* Let's be real... Life is hard, but it can be even more challenging when you have anxiety, stress, or negative beliefs about yourself weighing you down. Or perhaps you want to make changes to your life, but don’t know where to start. I provide a safe space where we can process all of the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that may arise in your daily life. It won't always be pretty, but that is when the healing begins to occur. You don't have to feel stuck in your anxiety, or stress of everyday life anymore.

Throughout a woman’s life there are many emotional shifts and it takes strength to reach out for support. I understand the many challenges and stress that sometimes might have you not feeling like yourself. Do you feel alone, anxious, tired, sad, angry, irritable, or stressed? I work with women who are experiencing anxiety, depressed mood, grief and loss, fertility, miscarriage, transition to motherhood, and other life changing events. I have specialized training in anxiety, maternal mental health (pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood), child development, and eating disorders.
