Autism Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

My clients are dreaming of a better world but feel stuck in a world that is causing them great pain. They are passionate about change, both for themself and for the world around them, but might not know where or how to start. If this sounds like you, I want to offer you support in figuring out what change can even look like and how to reach towards it. I can't offer you "the answers" but I can offer you my belief in your ability to change yourself and your world, if you choose it. I view this change process as starting with self, connecting with community, and finally engaging in systems change.

Being human is a beautiful and challenging experience. We have the capacity for creating resiliency, self-compassion, and hope in our lives, but that process is not always easy. Sometimes we get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns that generate shame. Sometimes we struggle with regulating our emotions which can affect our interpersonal relationships. Other times, we face challenges with grounding ourselves in the present moment, which affects our ability to make wise decisions. At K & K Holistic Counseling, we work with you to implement the skills necessary to face and overcome these human challenges and build a meaningful life.

My goal in therapy is to contribute to an environment that is safe and without judgment, where clients can express and explore their thoughts, feelings, experiences, and relationships. My style is very relaxed; I like to be comfortable in my environment and encourage my clients to be comfortable as well! I believe that building a trusting, nurturing therapeutic relationship is an important step of the healing process (which is not linear, by the way!) I think it's important to truly meet clients where they're at, and if that means we spend the session playing with fidgets, drawing, or sharing music, then that's what we do!

With each person I see in therapy, I start from a space of curiosity for exploration without judgement. I view therapy as a tool to support your growth and self-awareness, founded on a relationship we co-create over time. 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.

Are you feeling like obstacles are causing you mental distress? Maybe you’re experiencing negative feelings or thoughts that you can't quite shake.

You may be find yourself feeling stuck in old patterns and ready to to make meaningful changes. I work with clients who are seeking assistance with a range of issues from anxiety and stress, depression, anger management, chronic pain, self-esteem, and difficult life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years experience working with children, adolescents and families. I enjoy partnering with clients to problem solve and support them through difficult times. I think it is important to look at each individual's environmental, physical and emotional health when formulating a treatment plan, and I work to provide practical strategies to help both the individual and their family.

Therapy is for everyone, not just folks experiencing crisis or those experiencing life’s more difficult struggles. Everyone deserves an affirming therapist and a therapeutic space where they can discuss any and all challenges or concerns. I facilitate this by being a cheerful, warm, and active participant during sessions. I find that my clients appreciate and benefit from my engaging demeanor and the colorful metaphors I use to convey concepts.

Each of us has the capacity to feel alive and connected. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to uncover their true wholeness, which may be clouded by challenging behaviors or feelings such as shame, guilt, anger, anxiety, grief, or hopelessness. I specialize in working with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, attachment and relationship issues, sexuality and gender expression, creativity and self-esteem.

I deeply value tailoring my methods to align with my clients' unique needs and preferences. I work towards creating an environment where you feel utmost comfort and unwavering support as you embark on your journey towards growth and self-discovery. I welcome individuals, couples and families looking to overcome challenges and find healing.

With art therapy, we can process your experiences in greater depth than talk therapy alone, but art making is not required.

Hi there, I'm Dr. Rich Allen. Are you feeling overwhelmed with your day-to-day work, relationship, and health? Or perhaps you've experienced a loss or setback recently and are having trouble bouncing back? Is it hard to make time for yourself?

Hi, I'm Derik Moore, LCSW. I worked as an outpatient psychotherapist and clinical supervisor for 10 years in the community mental health realm prior to establishing my own practice. I began my career working with those living with HIV as an activist in the mid-1990s in Newark and New Brunswick, NJ, where I engaged in street outreach and advocated for a harm reduction approach. This work informed my commitment to public health and to exploring how economic and sociological factors play significant roles in the ways we move through the world. I have also been a musician for nearly 40 years and offer virtual and in-person drum lessons.
