Lucy S. Raizman, MSW, LCSW. LMFT, is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT-certified Sex Therapist for the Council for Relationships, a well-respected not-for-profit counseling organization that offers expertise in individual and couple relationship and intimacy issues and offers a sliding fee scale. I am a therapist with more than 20+ years of experience working with individuals and couples in the suburban offices of Blue Bell, Pa. Montgomery County outside Philadelphia, Pa.

My clients describe me as warm, compassionate and supportive. Our first steps will be creating a space where you feel safe. The therapy process is then guided by your needs and preferences. Together we will explore the issues that have brought you to therapy. Difficulties in life are normal. You are not alone. And you will have me by your side as we figure out what feels right for you, and what are the best ways for you to achieve your goals.

I am a queer-identified therapist working in New York, Pennsylvania and New Mexico. EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing are my guides to gently lead people towards healing themselves, something I believe we are all capable of. Together, we will set goals for recovery from trauma and major life stressors, incorporating neuroscience-backed strategies and spirituality where you are comfortable.

Life can be increasingly difficult to manage in our current social and economic environment. It can feel increasingly difficult to cope with life’s stressors as we struggle with our relationships as well as our own feelings of self-worth. Feelings of depression and anxiety can easily take hold of us, becoming increasingly dangerous to our wellbeing. There are times that it becomes increasingly important for us to have someone to turn to for support in times of despair. The way we feel about ourselves very often defines our relationships with others.

As a therapist, my passion is helping clients develop a greater ability to understand themselves and handle what happens to them. I use an integrative approach which is grounded in research and shows that the most effective healing occurs in the context of a strong client-therapist relationship. Beginning therapy can be intimidating so I try to create a warm, safe space by using an empathic, nonjudgmental, and, at times, humorous approach. Clients have described my style as compassionate and supportive while also being honest and direct.

Hello and congratulations on your decision to explore therapy. I welcome individuals, couples, and families navigating a variety of relational issues, although often centered around improving communication. If you are ready to explore hard-to-change patterns in yourself and in your relationships, appreciate an outcome-focused approach to healing, and hope for a non-judgmental, open-minded therapist who can help you effectively address your barriers to change - let's talk. I might be the right fit for you.

As a licensed psychologist, board certified clinical hypnotherapist and medical psychotherapist, I have been in private practice for 30 years in center city Philadelphia and Chestnut Hill,Pa. I am primarily Jungian, feminist, and cognitive/behavioral in orientation and use a blend of whatever suits the person and situation. My specialties include relationships, depression and anxiety/panic, self-esteem. trauma, and life transitions. I am widely published, formerly on staff at the Belmont Center and at Hahnemann and Temple Universities.The goal is to diminish negative symptoms and patterns, facilitate individuation, find your path and personal meaning in life, at work and in relationships.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, or trauma? Is your marriage falling apart? Is your child struggling with behavioral problems, depression, or anxiety? Are you looking for a highly qualified therapist? Are you looking for a therapist that will help you to get well quickly?

Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, afraid, hopeless or stuck? I provide caring, supportive psychotherapy for adults, couples and adolescents age 15 and up. I teach many skills to improve coping, communication and behavior. I help my clients to manage depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, low self-esteem, mood swings, grief, trauma and anger.

"Accepting new clients" Are you struggling with stress that is creating anxiety, depression, conflicted relationships or job stress? I can help. I provide a safe and supportive environment to uncover limiting beliefs and behaviors that are preventing you from living your optimal life.

I have worked as a Clinical Social Worker in a variety of settings for thirty years since receiving a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have been employed as a therapist in private practice for the past fifteen years. I treat a diverse client population of adults, adolescents, couples and families. I see individuals aged sixteen and up with phase of life issues, such as adjustment to young adulthood. I treat depression and other mood disorders, anxiety and panic disorders and relational problems.

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. Leiza's treatment approach is rooted in the philosophy that therapy is about claiming or reclaiming your authentic self, and is provided with genuine warmth, understanding, and validation.

My clients describe me as warm, engaging, thoughtful and funny, but also as direct, challenging, and focused; seeking out the hard and stuck places in their approach to living and loving. I don't try to convince my clients that life is easy or carefree, but I do believe a lot of contentment with life and acceptance of the self can be found when we face and come to terms with our truths. Unlike many folks offering therapy services, I have engaged in extensive education and training, in analytically informed psychotherapy, which I belief enriches and deepens the work.

I believe entering therapy is a brave step. I tailor my counseling style to fit the needs of my clients. I am client focused and use an integrative process of cognitive behavioral, supportive, mindfulness, and holistic techniques to help you address your concerns. Together we will find new solutions to the issues that trouble you. I look forward to you joining my practice.

Opening up to a complete stranger is really fucking uncomfortable. I've been there. The first time I went to therapy I did not think talking about my feelings would help. Up until this moment, you've probably depended on your inner circle for constant reassurance and validation. And sure, we all love a good vent sesh, but let's be real, you're not here for a yes-person. You crave a new perspective, genuine feedback. Someone who's not afraid to push back, keep you on track, and give it to you straight, no BS. You want to make real, long-lasting changes in your life.
