Available Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
As a therapist, I believe the focus shouldn't solely be on what someone is going through, but rather on why they’re seeking support. That perspective aligns closely with my overall approach to therapy and guides the way I conduct my sessions. In each session I create a safe and welcoming space where individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves. Everyone’s journey is unique, shaped by their own experiences and perspectives. I truly believe therapy can help uncover triggers and guide individuals toward meaningful resolutions that support a healthier, more balanced life.

Are you the daughter who learned to love everyone but yourself? You grew up as the responsible one—the family caregiver, the emotional glue holding everyone together. You're incredibly good at sensing what others need, but your own needs feel selfish or unimportant. Now as an adult, you struggle with boundaries, crushing guilt when you prioritize yourself, and feeling responsible for everyone's emotions. You know intellectually you matter, but you don't feel it—and that gap is exhausting. You want to break these generational patterns, develop authentic self-love, and stop passing these wounds to the next generation.

You look in the mirror and see the "bad" traits. That you're not thin enough, not righteous enough, not "good" enough. You realize that these traits were projected there by someone else--a partner, or maybe even a parent. You want to recover from perhaps a lifetime of emotional pain and narcissistic abuse but you don't know where to begin...I specialize in treating adult children of narcissists, cult abuse/religious trauma survivors, and those struggling with disordered eating and body image issues. I can support you in developing your inner strengths so that when you look in the mirror it will be your true self staring back at you.

Life burning down around you? Cool, grab a seat. Cry, laugh, drop a few F-bombs. Welcome to therapy! You’re safe here. I’m a therapist a professor, and a real human who’s lived through real things. I don’t do this work from a distance. I’ve moved through anxiety and depression. I’ve grieved the loss of people I love. I’ve gone through divorce. I’m raising a child with special needs… and all of that shapes how I show up for you. In my therapy space, we slow down. We breathe. We talk honestly. We laugh sometimes. We grieve sometimes. And we make room for the parts of you that you’ve had to hide to survive.

Finding the right therapist can be anxiety-provoking. Who will be comfortable to talk to? But not only comfortable to talk to, who will actually make insightful contributions that you don't get elsewhere? Who can you trust to find the balance between being supportive as well as challenging at the right times? Finding that balance is what I always aim for, and most people find me easy to talk to, interactive, direct, nuanced and to have a welcome sense of humor.

I am accepting new clients for telehealth therapy
Do you feel worry, restless, or overwhelm? Do you have a critical voice that's really harsh, wanting you to be perfect or to please others? Have you noticed yourself feeling hopeless, not good enough, or stuck? Do you have behaviors that you can't seem to overcome or change no matter how hard you try? My clients learn how to separate from the parts of them that takeover, understand their thoughts and impulses, allow their true self to take the lead, and access curiosity, calm, clarity, and courage. That being said, I’m a very casual therapist who provides a human experience. Let's be human together!

In settings from a community mental health clinic to a housing first agency, I’ve been fortunate to learn so much from my clients as they contend with issues related to grief and loss, addiction, depression and anxiety, life stage transitions, trauma and abuse, or other difficulties that find us in this life.

Our work will be successful not only when you begin to feel better, but also when you gain a deeper knowledge of ways to maintain those mental gains!

I meet on a secure telehealth platform and have availability.
Curiosity is at the heart of my approach to therapy. I believe it invites us to explore our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with openness rather than judgment. Curiosity serves as an antidote to shame, allowing us to sit with uncertainty, gain insight, and offer compassion to the wounded parts of ourselves. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I offer care that centers lived experience over diagnosis, supports creativity and difference, and challenges oppressive systems—creating a gender-affirming space where healing feels possible.

I'm available most weekdays, with some evening availability.
There may be a part of you that’s tired — tired of holding everything in, tired of smiling when you feel alone inside, tired of pushing down the sadness, anger, or fear that’s been with you for too long. Maybe you learned early on to hide your real feelings to survive, to fit in, or to keep peace. Therapy offers a place where you no longer have to do that. We’ll work together to uncover the patterns and emotions that shaped you, so you can begin to feel more real, more seen, and more connected — to yourself and to others.

When we are facing life stressors, we tend to focus on addressing the immediate symptoms. This can be very adaptive. However, if we only ever focus on the immediate symptoms of our struggles, we may never recognize or have the possibility of healing the root cause of our pain. I believe that therapy provides a powerful space to explore, understand, and ultimately heal the root causes of our struggles. I approach my work with insight from a variety of therapeutic frameworks, including Narrative Therapy, Parts Work, Solution Focused Therapy, & Attachment Theory. I am also formally trained in EMDR which I can incorporate into therapy.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your state and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by insurance, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the US vary widely depending on where you live. In major cities, the wait can range from a few days to several weeks. In rural or underserved areas, it is not uncommon to wait several months. Wait times can also vary depending on the type of therapist you are looking for. In general, master's level therapists like licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) tend to be more widely available than psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree. Availability can also differ depending on the specialty you are looking for; therapists who specialize in areas like trauma, eating disorders, or child therapy tend to have longer wait times because there are fewer of them relative to the demand for their specific expertise.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your state without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your primary care doctor can be a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation, provide referrals that may help move the process along, and in some cases connect you with other mental health resources in your area. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health centers are designed to serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they often have more flexibility for both crisis care and follow-up appointments than private practices do.
