Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

My vision as a therapist is to help adolescents, adults, couples and families recognize that they have what it takes to promote their own evolution. Growth and change can be a challenge at times. My role is to support others to work towards their healing holistically; I help them to unpack the pain that exists and recognize the impact on their mind, body, spirit and relationships. t is my intention to break down barriers in areas related to relationships,divorce,infidelity, blending families, adoption, anxiety, depression, and racial inequity in such a way that my clients feel more connected to their own sense of purpose & value.

My idea of therapy is similar to using your GPS: you tell me where you want to go, and I'll show you how to get there. You will leave our sessions knowing exactly where you’re going, and I will be cheering you on along the way. Whether you are coming to therapy to conquer anxiety, process and heal from trauma, or to figure out what a meaningful and fulfilling life looks like for you, I am here and ready to help.

Current openings for therapy beyond just talk therapy. My clients often struggle with symptoms such as recurring negative patterns in their life, anxiety, depression, anger, overwhelm, relationship issues, problematic family dynamics, trouble getting new habits to stick, compulsively using external things to feel better (i.e. work, people, alcohol), pain, headaches, and more. Through a mixture of talk therapy and body centered approaches, we will explore sources of trauma and healing with curiosity.

Hello, my name is Chijioke Booker! Have you noticed your life in a repeated cycle that you can't get out? Is it hard to find people who you can talk to without feeling judge? Do you want to gain understanding and control over your relationships, work, and health? Regardless of dealing with areas of conflict within your relationships, issues with attachment/adjustment issues, poor communication or creating a work-life balance therapy is for you. I am here to be your support through this stage in your life. I will meet you where you are by using evidence-base techniques to help you regain control.

Current openings available to individuals and couples ... I believe most people are doing their best, with the tools they have, for themselves and those they care about. Making changes may mean adapting old tools, acquiring new ones, or a combination of the two. In my practice we do that with a mixture of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and - especially for couples - Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I will have space for new clients in January 2024. I see clients out of network and as well as those with Philadelphia-based Medicaid (CBH). Feel free to reach out with questions. I support folks with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, difficult family & relationship dynamics, job/school concerns and more. Some come with very specific therapy goals, other because someone suggested it, still others to generally better understand themselves. All are welcome.

My ideal client aims to engage in an active partnership to build self-awareness and take action to make a change. I will give you feedback and challenge you, which is not everyone’s cup of tea! I work best with those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, trauma, or emotional flooding. Many of my clients report that our work helped them shift from survival mode to a sense of thriving. I suggest homework; your progress is based on your willingness to practice.

Let's take a journey together! You're the driver on this road trip that we will take together; as the therapist/co-pilot, I will help you navigate and explore, work through those bumps and winding curves in the road, and maybe find alternative ways to get to the destination. Maybe you're finding yourself stuck in the "mud," just spinning your wheels with the same patterns of thinking? Or maybe you're approaching a detour or having difficulty navigating all the potholes along the same road?

You don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy; oftentimes, people who contact me are managing feelings that have been building up over time. I have niche experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a program at UNMC aimed at understanding burnout. I enjoy working with college and graduate students, international students, and did this at counseling centers like MIT. I especially like working with adults in general, and new parents. I completed my APA internship and postdoc in the Penn System where I saw a variety of people living with a range of feelings.

Are you drowning in a sea of anxious "what ifs"? Is fear holding you back from connecting with the joy in your life? If so, you're not alone. Unmanaged anxiety and OCD can be incredibly painful. But there is hope. By learning to manage the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate this pain, you can break free and experience true freedom. Freedom to live a life that's more present and fulfilling, where you can make choices based on what you want, not what you fear.

Our painful experiences and the conditions of our society often push us to disconnect from our authentic selves, relationships, communities, and the world around us. I view healing as a process of reconnection. In our work together, we will aim to make sense of your story, explore all the parts of you that make you who you are, and work through places where you feel stuck. Through this process, my hope is that you can live your life with more agency and authenticity, more skills and tools to manage the challenges, and more capacity to experience ease, connection, and the full range of human emotions.
