I work with individuals of all ages to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing. I believe that by learning behavioral skills clients can enhance their capabilities to live the life that they want to live. Our feelings are closely connected to how we perceive situations and if those perceptions are distorted or inaccurate it can lead to feelings of distress including anxiety and depression. By using evidenced based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be explored to achieve more adaptive and accurate perspectives.

We face many challenges throughout our lives including relationship issues, transitions, grief and loss, and traumatic experiences. We often struggle to cope with these stresses. Therapy is a helpful process for learning to cope with all that life throws at us. I believe, strongly, that the most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client, so I work to provide a comfortable, safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their deepest thoughts and feelings.

(Note: I am able to respond to email inquiries faster than calls) If you are reading this, then you are likely in the exhausting and frustrating process of trying to find a competent, available therapist who takes your insurance and has an office near you. Hang in there! I know this process is the worst on a good day and maybe I can help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with lots of experience with adults, adolescents, and families. Here's the way I work:

Whether you are trying to heal from past wounds or grow into the person you were meant to become, it is my goal to help you along your journey is a comfortable and accepting atmosphere.

We are honored to share in this journey with you.

Client-centered support to set and achieve goals toward psychological health and well-being in a caring and safe environment.

Intimacy in relationships can create a push-pull experience, often leaving couples at a loss for how to maintain healthy connection. Your relationship may feel empty, chore-laden and miss that spark you once felt with each other. You may long for the early days when love and sex seemed easy and effortless. Using the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy along with mindfulness techniques, I can help you identify your barriers to intimacy. Together, we can help you restore authentic connection, improve communication, resolve conflict and reignite your sexual spark.

Do you remember when love and sex felt easier? When you had more time and energy to put into your relationship? When intimacy seemed effortless? You may manage life together but miss that deep, intimate connection you once had. Sex may no longer feels pleasurable but more like a chore on your to-do list. As a result, your marriage feels lonely. As a Certified Sex Therapist and Relationship Specialist, I help you resolve your intimacy challenges while strengthening your emotional and sexual connection so that you can feel secure in your love on a daily basis. Clients describe this work as "life-changing".

Are you longing for a better relationship? More intimacy and affection? Have you become stuck in the same cycle? Whether you’re looking to reignite passion, mend emotional wounds, heal trauma, or build a new foundation, I can help. Although the terrain may be rocky, therapy can become your safe haven, a place for you to explore your unique relationship story and learn techniques and skills that will last a lifetime. My work facilitating marriage conferences along with my therapeutic experience, allows me to provide you with expert care.

Beginning therapy is not an easy decision, and it takes courage to start the process of addressing a life problem or difficulty you may be experiencing. As your therapist, I am committed to working with you in order to help you make positive changes in your life. My hope is that you will leave each session with something more than you had at the beginning of the session- whether this is a new tool, skill, solution to a problem or different perspective. Our work will be actively addressing the challenges you are facing in a caring and comfortable environment.

How we feel about ourselves, and how we perceive and take in information is based off of the lens at which we view the world. I would love to help you discover why you feel and behave the way you do, free of judgement! My role is to help you cultivate a better relationship with yourself and others.

Take some time for self care. Therapy helps in stress reduction, changing maladaptive behaviors and improving the quality of relationships. Through deeper emotional understanding, we can become the best versions of ourselves. There is no better time to start growing than now!

I have practiced psychotherapy for over 25 years and love what I do every day. My approach when working with individuals, families and couples is collaborative, dynamic, creative and often humorous. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic treatment and family systems therapy, depending on the needs and wishes of each patient or patients whom I treat. I feel honored and privileged to not only have the people I treat share their struggles, achievements, hopes and dreams, but to facilitate and witness their process as they make positive changes in their lives.

Life can be challenging, and navigating life after surviving trauma or during a major transition can be especially difficult. As women, we tend to internalize our struggles for the sake of caring for others, often putting our needs on the back burner. As a result, we leave ourselves vulnerable to these issues negatively impacting our lives in many ways, such as our physical health, emotional balance and our relationships with co-workers, intimate partners and even ourselves. My therapeutic approach is focused on empowering women to overcome these personal struggles and improve the quality of their lives, relationships and careers.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in clinical work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I view my role as assisting my clients to more fully realize and become their authentic selves. Often, life events occur that prevent us from feeling strong, brave, satisfied, or even present in the world. We may become disconnected from others as well as ourselves. My passion is supporting clients as they grow, heal, play, discover, and connect within their therapy sessions and in their lives. I provide a safe, secure space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, wishes, and fears.

As we move through life, obstacles, challenges, disappointments and past pain can become road blocks to living the life we truly want. In therapy we can create a supportive, safe and accepting place for you to explore and dismantle the elements that have kept you stuck, and uncover your true potential to lead a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. If you are ready for this journey of self-discovery and change, I would be honored to work with you.

Just looking all this up is brave- it’s an act of self care. My name is Amy Shaitelman and I am passionate about the power of the process of finding your voice, trusting your gut and healing yourself. I feel that working as a team with my clients creates progress and success in new areas and ways. Availability in Chestnut Hill, Haddonfield and Center City
