Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

There are many events that send us looking for answers in therapy. Some need information to address a new situation, some feel blocked from doing what they desire, some feel pushed to do things they don't want to do, some feel prevented from doing something they know would benefit them. We all struggle, no one's life is perfect. It's what we make of our circumstances that make us who we are. We isolate our "Genuine Self" then work towards defining the "Desired Self", that part of self that is capable of maintaining happiness. By increasing our awareness we can reach any goal, embracing change as we evolve.

As stated in Isaiah 9:6, As a Multiracial Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my L-rd and Savior, I believe that Counselors are born and not made. My mission is to help individuals identify the root of dysfunctional behavior and break the cycle of sin or toxic patterns and general curses. People often “move forward with time, but never move on,” meaning they move on with time but never move on from past hurts. My desire as a Psychotherapist is to help clients move on to live a productive and healthy life without being haunted by past trauma.

My treatment approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy for individuals suffering from various disorders and psychological distress including but not limited to eating disorders, depression, anxiety, LGBTQ, suicidal ideation, and family issues. In addition to psychotherapy, I conduct psychological evaluations/testing, psychoeducational testing, and biopsychosocial evaluations. I conduct testing for ADHD, gifted/talented, and special education services. I provide a compassionate, holistic, and caring atmosphere in order to provide my clients a trusting and supportive therapeutic experience.

Therapy has the ability to free us from the patterns that keep us from experiencing the fullness of life. It can lead us to the wisdom and inner tools that get us out of our own way. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, chronic pain, matters of sexual or gender identity, or some other life transition, I prioritize creating a foundation of safety and trust. Together, we will help you to feel more freedom and connection in your life.

Voted "Best Place to Heal" by Philadelphia magazine (2020) for its educational-based support groups for depression and related issues of anxiety and addiction, the LiveWell Foundation (nonprofit) also offers therapy for adults, teens, seniors, and physicians (for whom no electronic records are kept). Whether you want to live a more authentic or meaningful life, to learn how to better manage symptoms of depression or anxiety, or to strengthen your interpersonal relationships, we're here to support you through a meaningful process of growth and lasting change.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice at PhilaPsy, where I offer psychotherapy for adults of all ages and specialize in working with individuals in early to middle adulthood. I have a varied practice, with people coming to therapy for a wide range of reasons. My areas of particular focus include working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, transitions or changes in life, stress, self-esteem, identity, relationship issues, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and feeling lonely, angry, empty or stuck. Across contexts, I provide identity affirming, culturally responsive, relational care.

Your relationships are falling apart, you’re anxious all of the time, and your life has become an out-of-control mess. You wonder why relationships have to be so hard and cause you so much pain. People just don’t get it. They don’t get that when you’re hurt, your emotions take over and consume you. You’d literally do anything to not feel that way. In fact, when you have, you ended up feeling even worse and pushing those very same people away. You’re so desperate for people’s approval and terrified that if they ever found out what you’re really like, they wouldn’t want you anymore.

Three beliefs I hold that influence how I practice are 1) human beings are not problems to be solved 2) therapy is ultimately about relationship 3) the process itself is the solution. We humans are infinitely complex; we're full of opposition and paradox. Our culture pushes quick fixes and immediate answers, but lasting change rarely comes about when we work in this way. I'm interested in helping you come into fuller, richer, more conscious relationship with all of your moving and sometimes disparate parts. Together we will work from the inside out through a deep, relational process.

I think of the therapeutic relationship as a workshop where clients can plan, tinker, experiment, test, and refine parts of themselves, their relationships, and their lives with my unwavering support. It's a place and time where we can collaborate on what might need to change, what tools are necessary for the task, and on the ways it might begin to unfold. I create and hold a safe place for clients to ponder, practice, and consider change-- especially when they struggle to maintain that space for themselves. As a trauma informed practitioner, I am able to ground and contain intense affect to help clients feel held.

Hi! I’m glad you found your way to my profile — let’s help you connect with the support you’re looking for. I’m Michael, a licensed psychologist based in Philadelphia offering person-centered and affirming therapy for adults and couples facing a wide array of obstacles, including life changes, stress and anxiety, depression, substance use, and health issues. Together, we will work towards greater agency and self-awareness, a better understanding of the experiences that influence relationships to yourself and others, and acceptance of the things we cannot change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience working with adults, children, and families, across a range of therapeutic settings. I do my best to acknowledge the myriad ways in which social, cultural, and economic inequities shape how we understand ourselves and interact with the world. Currently, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship problems, meaninglessness, and the residual impacts of past traumas.

Throughout a woman’s life there are many emotional shifts and it takes strength to reach out for support. I understand the many challenges and stress that sometimes might have you not feeling like yourself. Do you feel alone, anxious, tired, sad, angry, irritable, or stressed? I work with women who are experiencing anxiety, depressed mood, grief and loss, fertility, miscarriage, transition to motherhood, and other life changing events. I have specialized training in anxiety, maternal mental health (pregnancy, birth, postpartum, motherhood), child development, and eating disorders.

Hi! I'm Danielle Costanzo and I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist who works collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families. My approach is honest and nonjudgmental, and I prioritize building authentic connections with my clients. With genuine warmth, compassion, and humor, I create a safe environment to both support and challenge you.

Every story is unique. My job in session is to listen well and frame a space that invites you to speak freely. I work exclusively through telehealth, and my areas of expertise are in helping people who are grappling with overwhelming emotions, dissociative defenses, or the aftermath of painful experiences to get to a place that's more livable. Integrating the tools of old school psychotherapy with affective neurobiology, relational theories of change, and a horizontal treatment approach, I help you get to the root of the problem as we work in the moment towards equilibrium and a sense of connectedness to yourself and others.

I specialize in neurobiology-informed psychotherapy to address anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, attachment issues, etc.. My approach is integrative and whole person wellbeing focused. Psychological issues closely interact with physical health issues, such as chronic illness/pain, energy deficiency, sleeping, memory loss, eating/weight issues, etc. In therapy, I will work with you on the interdependent issues from psychological, biological, and environmental aspects and help you gain insights of your mind, body, and experiences, and use practical strategies to obtain healing and improve your quality of life.

Finding the right therapist can be intimidating. My goal is to make the therapy process welcoming and transparent. I work particularly well with people who've been told they are "too sensitive" or who identify as Highly Sensitive People. My talent lies in treating anxiety, trauma, and attachment/relationship wounds, as well as self-esteem. I support those who care for their communities: healers, caregivers, artists or those with creative practices, and activists. I've worked with ages 3-90 across class, race, gender, sexual orientation, & health status. Together, we can explore hard topics with sensitivity and humor.

In an increasingly chaotic world, it's easy to lose track of ourselves and our relationships. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for you to develop insights and build a toolbox to better navigate life's challenges. I take a collaborative approach, giving respect to your autonomy. We will work on identifying sustainable goals together, increasing somatic awareness, restoring your resiliency, and honoring your strengths, as an individual or a couple. I have lots of experience working with folks practicing various forms of ethical non-monogamy, LGBTQIA+ and gender diverse individuals all along the spectrum.

Do you feel like you constantly have to prove yourself in every aspect of your life? Whether it's at work or in your relationships, you are exhausted and burnt out. Sometimes, you just want to run away from it all but you know that is not an option so you keep going. We get it because we have been there. We also know that people who can't slow down also struggle to ask for help.
