Hey there. If you're reading this you may be wondering "is this guy the right therapist for me?" That is a question I hold dearly. Browsing this website can bring a flurry of emotions when seeking a therapist. It can be tough to find the right fit, and also can be a challenge just to get started. I hope, as you read my profile, there is a chance you may think I can play a role in your mental health journey. The people who tend to seek me for help tend to be people of color, those seeking trauma work, and also people who are "stuck".

People I work with sometimes use "anxiety," "depression," or "trauma" to describe their lives. But often, words like heartache, worry, or dread seem to more fully capture their experience. Some feel under tremendous pressure, deeply isolated, resentful, or chronically misunderstood. Others - empty and drained, like they had lost or given up on something important. Many have been frustrated or confused, asking themselves, "why do I keep doing this?" or "how did I end up here again?" And some folks don't notice much overt distress at all, outside of a vague sense that "something's not right" or feeling distracted and restless.

We've all found ways of surviving in a chaotic and overwhelming world, but many of those survival strategies can make us feel out of control, disconnected or helpless. Developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for the ways your brain and body have learned to adapt can illuminate new paths toward connection, self worth, agency and meaning. Instead of viewing our suffering as a personal failure, we can see how various causes and conditions have led to habits of reaction that might actually be increasing suffering. This level of awareness, understanding and acceptance can show us where we have power to change.

I can support you with getting to know who you are, exploring your relationship dynamics with others, and coping with intense or overwhelming feelings. Therapy can create a safe and healing space for you to feel empowered, express yourself, address challenges you are facing, and tap into your already existing skills and wisdom. I'm open to discussing whether I'd be the right fit for anything you may bring. I also offer clinical supervision towards licensure in PA.

First things first: You are the expert on your experience! My role as your therapist is to support you in unearthing and building on the strengths you possess, the insights you hold, and the world you envision for yourself. As a therapist, I am inspired by authentic connection and collaborative work. Whether it's your goal to manage anxiety and stress, build a healthier relationship with your body and self, engage in healing around traumatic experiences, or develop more rewarding relationships, I provide a non-judgmental space in which we'll work together to explore those things that feel hardest to manage alone.

Living in the moment, creating visions and transitioning, these are parts of me moving forward into private practice. This might also be the reason you are exploring connecting with a therapist. Creating space, occupying it- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. My practice is grounded in values within transfeminism, abolition and decolonization work. It's important for me to hold space for and bear witness to you exploring your own experiences. These are not easy practices, let's explore what you are looking for in a therapist.

Covid-19: Meet by Zoom or in person. For over 30 years, I have offered attentive and thoughtful psychotherapy and psychoanalysis in a comfortable home office with a private waiting area. My style has been described as welcoming, engaging, flexible and "serious yet playful". I work with a wide range of problems: work and relationships struggles, depression, anxiety, insomnia, alcohol abuse, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, personality disorders and many other matters people bring up. I am slow to recommend medication, but work in concert with a number of psychiatrists should either of us believe medication might be beneficial.

Resolving trauma can be a long and difficult process. It is comforting - and essential - to have a compassionate and consistent therapist as you walk the road to healing and joy. With over 25 years of experience and a specialty in treating trauma, I can help provide the roadmap to a healthy resolution. Many clients try to avoid distressing memories, but this is rarely successful in the long run. With the newer trauma-specific treatments now available, perhaps together we can find our way to lasting peace.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family (LMFT) therapist working from a systemic lens through my virtual private practice. My philosophy is that through cultivating your relationship with yourself and by becoming the best, most developed version of yourself, you can engage in relationships - romantic, familial, and platonic - in deeper, more meaningful, and healthier ways. My hope is to facilitate you and/or you and your loved one(s) through this process by exploring what is keeping you stuck and discovering old patterns that no longer serve you.

On the surface, things may seem great, but it doesn’t always feel that way on the inside. You see others and are constantly comparing yourself and fall short of where you believe “you should be in life”. Maybe you feel stuck, detached or discouraged. Maybe you are struggling with a significant life transition, addiction, ADD, trauma, or grief. I help people who feel scattered and overwhelmed gain clarity and purpose so that they can move from self-doubt and self-criticism to confidence, acceptance, and self-love. In therapy, we will work together to understand the barriers that are in the way of you living your best life.

I focus upon all things relational. We all occasionally find ourselves facing a transition/change, problem, concern, or conflict that we are unable to resolve; despite our determined attempts. I maintain that what we get "stuck-in" is living life and relational; no matter with whom or to what we are relating. If you desire, and are ready to learn how to get "un-stuck", I am prepared to help you create positive lasting changes in your life. I promise to provide you respectful, culturally sensitive, person centered, and solution focused counseling care. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello! My name is Joanne. I’m a therapist specializing in inclusive, affirming care for queer, polyam, and kinky individuals and their loved ones. Therapy should always be a safe space for individuals to work on their deepest vulnerabilities, so let’s talk about stuff like gender identity, orientation, nudity, relationship styles, safe sex, or body image to name a few. The general public can be sex-negative at times, and so, too many people feel shame over identities, desires, and behaviors that are perfectly healthy. Sex is everywhere in our culture, yet meaningful conversations about sex isn’t. Let’s change that.

What type of Philadelphia mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.

If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Philadelphia?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
