Therapists in Manayunk, Philadelphia, PA

I work with teens and adults who are seeking support in managing their emotions, increasing satisfaction in relationships, or find themselves navigating life transitions and the fear and stress that may come along. I specialize in working with young adults who may be struggling with mood, anxiety, peer or romantic relationships, and sexuality and gender identity. I hope to help you become more connected to your emotions, gain confidence, and find healthy ways of coping with conflict.

Life is hard and challenging. It can be complicated and sometimes messy. Whether you are facing a life transition, a change in relationship, or a serious illness, you may be struggling.

I approach each client from a place of warmth, compassion and free of judgment. I hope to ensure you will have a safe space for your individual concerns to be seen and heard.

Sometimes it's really not easy to walk your journey on your own, especially when you have something weighing on your mind and shoulders. I feel you. I view my mission as joining your walk and help you regain hope, find your goals and resources, and reach your desired destination. I value your autonomy and believe in the power of teamwork. I will provide a safe, secure, and warm space for vulnerability and genuine conversations. I welcome authenticity and always acknowledge your best interests.

My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space where you are able to explore areas of your life that you want to change for the better. I utilize a strengths based and holistic approach to treatment. I believe that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected. The therapeutic relationship is a fantastic starting point to promote self growth and recognition that you are able to implement change. I look forward to meeting you!

If you experience anxiety or depression due to relationship issues, challenges with work/school, uncertainties of where your symptoms stem from I am here to help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania that specializes in working with individuals with suicidal thoughts, and domestic violence. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults.

Hi, my name is Hillary Williams. If you are someone dealing with issues relating to trauma, grief, loss, childhood abuse and/or perinatal mood or anxiety disorders and you are seeking support and empowerment in your life, you would be a great fit for my practice. So many of us carry around false narratives about who we are based on unfortunate experiences that happened to us which left us feeling alone, empty, or lost. This limits our vision of who we can become and may cause us to rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with life's triggers.

I am a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience. I specialize in working with children, adolescence, families, those experiencing anxiety, and trauma. I have experience working with children, adolescence, and families from diverse backgrounds in the school setting, crisis intervention services, outpatient setting, and an intensive after school behavior program. I work with individuals and families who have and continue to experience complex trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, attention and hyperactivity issues, grief and loss, behavioral difficulties, and relational conflict.

I believe one of the bravest things we can do is to understand our story. Owning our story can bring us to self-acceptance and healing. I can help get you there. Do you feel like you’re hitting a wall? Feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Stuck in your past trauma? Bad relationships? You deserve more than the anger and hurt that you’re carrying with you each day. These walls you’re hitting can be broken down. We just need to take a few steps back, and face these walls together. Come in, and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea (on me) and let’s talk about it.

Clients come to therapy with a number of goals. Some want to be more confident, improve their relationships, and integrate a loss into their lives as they find hope for their futures.

I serve a diverse clientele and work really well with creatives, empaths, entrepreneurs, and the LGBTQ+ community. I typically treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use, and support clients with behavior change, life stage + transitions, identity + sexuality, relationships, and career issues. I am trauma-informed, apply queer, feminist, anti-oppressive, and body/sex-positive lenses, and incorporate harm reduction principles. I also offer clinical supervision.

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. Long term work together is not a necessity but a possibility, and the longevity of building a consistent, stable attachment is important to me. I want my clients to have the experience of being known, understood and seen. Once trust and knowledge has been built, I want to collaborate with you on how to better understand and move through pain points in your life.

Our practice works with Black clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress management to process the origins of their concerns through a racially-sensitive lens. We also work with adult clients seeking to improve their relationships with self and others by helping them understand and process the impact of historical and generational racial trauma on their relationships with themselves, their families, their friends, and their partners.

My clients come to me because they want to deepen and strengthen their relationships - not just with each other, but with themselves. They want to understand the family and societal systems that shaped them into who they are today, and to heal old wounds and trauma so that they can move forward from a place of strength, healing, and connection. Many of my clients exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and have struggled to find a therapist who will understand and not further stigmatize their identities, and who is committed to unlearning systems of oppression. I seek to provide a healing space for them.

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Do you want to create changes that make your life feel more exciting, satisfying, fulfilling, purposeful, or sustainable? Maybe you’re experiencing a creative block, relationship stagnancy, grief and loss, job dissatisfaction, career choice difficulty, feeling uninspired by life, struggling with food or substances, etc. Maybe you're taking on some of life's biggest milestones: graduation, marriage, embarking on becoming a parent, etc.

Now accepting new clients. Are you looking for a radical therapist with a sense of humor to support you and someone you care about in navigating an interpersonal issue? Is anxiety and/or depression overwhelming you? Reach out to me! I offer an integrated, holistic approach rooted in an anti-supremacy perspective. I don't believe anything works for every client but I find myself using the Internal Family Systems(IFS) model of therapy the most often. Most importantly, however, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels accepting and nonjudgmental without compromising opportunities for growth and expanded possibilities.

Do you wonder if childhood wounds are impacting you in the present? Are you experiencing chronic anxiety or low mood, relationship difficulties, or problems managing your emotions? I help clients build self awareness and improve their relationships with themselves and others through self acceptance, self compassion, and letting go of patterns that no longer serve them. I use Internal Family Systems to support clients in gaining awareness of their interior landscape and healing parts of themselves that carry earlier wounds and false beliefs. I also am trained in CBT, DBT and mindfulness informed and humanistic approaches.

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).
