Therapists in Midtown Village, Philadelphia, PA

I believe that we all possess an internal wisdom about what we need to overcome challenges. Difficult life experiences and learned behaviors sometimes cloud our ability to access this wisdom. Therapy with me begins with establishing a safe and trusting relationship which becomes the context in which we can explore and modify those parts of your experience that interfere with optimal functioning and which block your ability to feel deeply satisfied with your life.

True lasting healing requires safety & trust in relationships. I am a collaborative therapist providing warmth, caring & guidance as you work to reach your goals. My clients describe me as an invested therapist who remembers the smallest details & plays an active role in helping facilitate the change you want to make. I specialize in life transitions and the self talk/beliefs & communication skills that affect positive change. I’m most passionate about helping you live as your true self, beginning/ending relationships, regaining connection with & prioritizing oneself, and helping people navigate changes in their health & well-being.

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Pennsylvania with 13 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in a variety of settings, including an inpatient and outpatient-psychiatry center, a foster care residential facility, a women’s counseling agency, and a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic. I currently see clients in my private practice in Philadelphia for short-term (10-12 sessions) or long-term treatment (6 months or longer), depending on their goals. My collaborative therapeutic approach combines multiple techniques (e.g. Gestalt, Psychodynamic, EMDR, CBT, and Mindfulness).

I believe that successful therapy starts with a strong, collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. I understand that each one of my clients has a unique story to share and I am committed to listening with empathy and without judgment. My style is conversational, intuitive, and direct with each intervention grounded in evidence-based research.

I am Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York and Pennsylvania. I have a holistic, laid-back, and compassionate approach to building relationships. I use talk therapy in combination with music, art, and mindfulness to understand where you are coming from. I hope to foster a non-judgmental space for you to process and understand your inner self.

Hi, I have openings on Tuesday and Wednesday throughout the day, so if that works for your schedule, either in person or virtually, please reach out. Otherwise I am full at the moment. I work best with people who a) think they are too smart for therapy, or too smart to be generally understood, b) have been struggling with the same problem for many years, and/or c) could benefit from insight in addition to empathy.

Although we all seek out therapy for different reasons, many of us are looking for the same thing in a therapist: an unbiased, supportive, & empathetic guide. Someone to normalize the many emotions and challenges that come with being human in our often chaotic world.

I specialize in working with folks who have difficulty in their personal relationships. That might mean you've been "chronically single" all your life and don't want to be. Or it might mean that your current relationship is painful in ways that feel both familiar and confusing somehow, or your last one ended painfully. Maybe you've been betrayed, or you betrayed someone. Maybe you're worried that you have a sexual problem that makes you unlovable, or you struggle with boundaries. Or, maybe you feel like you've only ever really been attracted to the ones who don't love you back.

If you are currently experiencing fear, stress and anxiety or suddenly shutting down and find yourself not knowing how to respond to the COVID19 pandemic, I can help. I have experience working with a wide variety of population ranging from college students to working business professionals. My goal is to walk with you, making you feel heard and understood. It is a gift to earn one's trust. I will listen to your story with great care and intentionality. My focus is to bring awareness, meaning & connection to making you feel known. I offer therapy to individual(s) and couples. I also provide group therapy.

Are you starting to feel resentful towards the people in your life because you’re constantly putting them before you? Are you tired of staying in relationships that make you feel small and insignificant? I get it. You feel like the entire world’s expectations are on your shoulders. On one hand you believe if you don’t fulfill other’s expectations their world falls apart, and on the other hand you’re exhausted because no matter what you do it will never be enough.

Life comes with its challenges, and in a world where there can at times seem to be a collective sense of pain, I view therapy as a journey that provides us with the opportunity to become more in tune with ourselves. In doing so, we develop new ways to prevail and thrive. Being a queer person of color, I have dedicated my time in the field to supporting those who have lived similar experiences to my own. In sessions, I seek to create a trusting relationship that highlights your strengths.

My practice specializes in working with adults interested in therapy beyond just talk therapy. We have openings for clients located in Georgia and Washington DC. Our clients oftentimes say they 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.

As a practicing clinical social worker and psychotherapist with a private practice, I provide talk therapy to individuals. My areas of expertise include treating depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and relationship issues. Prior to my private practice, I have had experience working as a therapist at a community mental health center, as well as serving as a helpline specialist for a crisis hotline. I have pursued post-graduate training through didactic coursework, personal psychotherapy, and ongoing case consultation with senior colleagues.

Life is a journey and we aren't meant to travel alone. Sometimes it's helpful to have a person to travel the path with you, to shine light in the dark places. Engaging in counseling is one way in which to get support with your struggles. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, school, issues of faith, addictions or any other disruption to your life, I would love to get to know you and to help shine light in the dark places.

Our therapists strive to create a non-judgmental and compassionate space to offer guidance and help create change. We offer both shorter term solution-focused therapy as well as longer term in-depth psychotherapy depending on your individual needs. Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and understand yourself better, leading to symptom reduction and lasting change.

My hope is to provide care and support to people ages 14-34. These years in particular can be ones full of change and confusion. My skill set is joining with you in this time, to walk alongside you as a companion and guide. To lead you to your Inner Voice, that place inside of you where the motivation for change lives. We all have it inside of us, but sometimes we need someone to lead us there. Through the modalities of Instilling Hope, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as a Solution Focused approach, I will serve as that guide.
