Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Feltonville, Philadelphia, PA

Hello! I am Tammy McAdoo, LCSW. I am located in a rural town in PA. I have worked in case management, substance abuse disorders, in schools, and as an outpatient therapist. I truly enjoy helping others make improvements to their life. I like the client to set their goals and work toward them at their pace. I use a client-centered approach and simply provide guide rails to help them reach their goals.

Are you seeking to find relief from past pain and the courage and positive energy needed to recharge your life? Trauma experiences can have a crippling effect on the mind and body, causing depression, anxiety, rage reactions, grief, addiction, and other distressing symptoms. I offer a warm and safe space for you to unpack your burdens, and experience genuine and lasting relief. With over 20 years of combined experience in trauma therapy, expressive movement therapy, and mindfulness, I will guide you in developing practical tools to transform the immobilizing effects of trauma, PTSD and chronic stress so that you can move forward.

After a successful career in the business world, I took the skills of social connection and project management and returned to school for my Master's to integrate my life's experiences with a behavioral health education. I have gained clinical experience working with adults, couples and teens from diverse backgrounds in various settings. My practice philosophy is to walk alongside my clients in a relaxed setting and go through this journey of self-discovery together. You can change what's possible.

Hi, I'm Koti. I have 13 year of experience across multiple treatment settings, life challenges and diagnoses. Through evidenced based interventions with strengths and compassion focused care, I can help you navigate the situations and symptoms you have been struggling with. Common techniques/interventions I employ in treatment are through the lenses of Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, CBT (self-monitoring, behavior activation, cognitive restructuring), ACT and Solution Focused frameworks. I use a collaborative approach and welcome feedback about what is and is not working so I can better support you.

I am accepting new telehealth/virtual clients at this time! I enjoy working with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other behavioral health difficulties, as well as problems adjusting to day to day stressors. I also specialize in helping those who are feeling stress related to trauma or relationship conflict or violence, and people experiencing substance abuse disorders. Together, we focus in therapy on building new supports and developing healthier ways of coping. I utilize techniques stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other approaches.

Hello! I'm looking forward to meeting you. I am a therapist specializing in working with sexuality topics. Maybe you are looking for a therapist for a sexuality concern, sex therapy, sexual pain, trauma, or for transgender-affirming care. Maybe you just want to see someone who "gets it" and will be affirming of everything that makes you uniquely you. Whatever the reason, I am excited to accompany you on this wellness journey you're taking! I bring great enthusiasm to my therapy and I am looking forward to helping you achieve your life's passions. I have immediate openings, so we can get started soon without the wait.

Immediate telehealth openings as of 4/22/24. Some wounds have a hard time healing. These wounds show up in different ways – sometimes through people-pleasing, feeling too guilty to relax, always keeping busy, struggling to say “no,” or lashing out at others. This pain comes with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and negativity about life - and other side effects. It can also make you feel “stuck” in some ways and unable to move forward. Maybe you’ve found yourself there – if so, you're in the right place. I want to help you take steps forward to heal your wounds and get back to living the life you envision for yourself.

If we spend enough time together, I hope my compassionate and empowered, sassy self rubs off on you. As your therapist, my role is to cheer you on as you pull yourself up by the bootstraps and to challenge you to tell your depressive voice to buzz off! Count on us to have you eagerly leading yourself through change. People that want to work with me know what it's like to be on the struggle bus. They know what it feels like to not want to get up in the morning or to feel motivated to get things done. The people that work with me have just had enough of shitty situations and want to make an effort to become their best selves.

I strive to create a safe & non-judgmental environment for clients to share what is important to them. My goal is for clients to feel heard, understood,& empowered to make changes. I work to develop a therapeutic relationship that relies on authenticity, honesty,& humor when appropriate. I also use a cognitive framework to understand my client’s core beliefs & how they might be affecting them in the present. I feel my approach is appropriate for a variety of concerns, particularly those related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, emotion regulation, life transitions, relationship/marriage concerns, grief, &low self-esteem.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults (18+) as well as Ecotherapy approaches and concepts. Accessing therapeutic effects from nature is of great help to attain balance, effective coping, rejuvenation, and personal insight. Ecotherapy can be a key add-on to the immense healing that CBT can provide. Online telehealth sessions focus on what you want to ADDRESS and remedy (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, relationship troubles, parenting, self-esteem, addiction, panic/phobia, aging, and more). as well as how to COPE with challenges, uncertainty and distress.

I know scrolling through Psychology Today profiles can be frustrating, and challenging. Making sense of all of the therapy terms and acronyms, (oh so many of those!) can be exhausting. Assessing and finding your therapist 'fit' shouldn't be impossible. All of us have strengths, and the ability to feel joy. The path to change is often marked with unknown barriers and systemic trauma. My aim is to help others identify interpersonal and systemic barriers standing in the way of growth. I am trauma informed, and an ACES DV survivor and advocate. I work hard to provide a safe space to grow the therapist client alliance.

Hey there, I know reaching out for help can be a challenging step, but I want you to know that you're not alone. Dealing with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and life stressors can be incredibly tough, and I'm here to walk this journey with you. I've been through my own storms, faced my share of rainbows, and I understand how these struggles can affect various areas of your life. Whether it's the constant worry, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, or the overwhelming stress, I get it. It's not just about hearing your words; it's about truly understanding the impact these challenges have on your daily life.
