I assist individuals, couples and leaders during times of conflict or life/career transition to move with intention toward new possibilities.

Ilene M Dyller
Psychologist, PhD

I am an experienced psychologist and psychoanalyst in Center City, Philadelphia. I work with people with a broad range of problems including anxiety, depression, sexual concerns, eating disorders, and difficulties with work, school, or relationships. I listen carefully and respectfully and try to help my clients learn to listen to themselves in new ways, understand themselves more fully, and find new solutions to old conflicts and problems. I view symptoms as the mind's way of trying to express something the person doesn't yet understand, and I help people uncover the meanings behind their symptoms.
Katharine Ha
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Ideally, therapy has been shown to have the best outcomes when you feel like your therapist gets you. Therapy is a relationship, rather than a set of instructions. My approach is warm, interactive, practical, and empathic, and I draw from relational, feminist, trauma-informed, anti-racist treatment models. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, along with helping you contextualize your life experiences, honoring your expertise in your own life.

Therapy may be helpful to deal with a difficult event or a way of living. I help my clients to navigate a better, more fulfilling life.

I have experience working with adults of all ages. I especially empathize with college students, international students and immigrants.

Lucy Roth
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MSW
Verified
Over the last 13 years, I’ve had the joy and privilege of working alongside folks as they make meaning of their lives. I’ve been in various aspects of therapeutic work from community based, non traditional outpatient settings to private practice. For many years, I ran a kitchen program within a mental health agency that empowered people to connect with food, food systems and their effects on our emotional lives. I hung up my apron and transitioned into private practice in late 2016. Long term work together is not a necessity but a possibility, and the longevity of building a consistent, stable attachment is important to me

Whether you are new or returning to therapy, the process is one of self-reflection and self-discovery that can lead you to not only feeling better but being a better you.

Are you feeling stuck and in need of a change? Are you struggling with an underlying worry? Do you find yourself with little motivation to form and maintain relationships with friends and family? There may be something else, perhaps that is difficult to put into words. Sometimes, when it comes to dealing with personal and relational difficulties, we struggle with how to cope, who to talk to and what to say.
Andy Freedman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MT-BC

The slower you go, the faster you get there. This is the main tenet that informs my approach to working with clients in therapy. I offer a supportive and grounded presence. When people feel grounded in themselves, they begin to feel safe in making connections and building relationships with others. It is in relationships where we find the strength and energy to heal.

Anemone Schlotterbeck
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LSW, LMSW
Verified
As a therapist, I start from a space of curiosity for exploration and affirmation without judgement. I view therapy as a tool to support your growth, healing and self-awareness, founded on a unique relationship with each person I see in therapy. Many people I work with have experienced traumatic events and oppression from systems that target certain people for exclusion and violence. Despite the obstacles that can prevent us from experiencing connection, I believe that every person is worthy of love and community.
