Codependency Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

If you want to work in a collaborative manner, without judgement but being challenged about your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, and their relation to socialization, my integrative approach might be a good fit for you.

I want to help you to feel better about yourself and your life. You can talk to me about anything that’s bothering you. I’m an expert listener and will guide you in finding effective solutions to your problems. When you sit with me, I give you my complete attention and support. Talking with me in an accepting, caring space can be healing. Learning new ways to cope and understand things can lift your mood. I believe that entering into therapy is an excellent start. That’s why I do this – because I see positive changes in my clients. My style is warm, interactive and compassionate.

At Experiencing Eden, we realize how hard life can be and how difficult it can be to overcome pain from the past, current circumstances, and the uncertainties of the future. Contact us today and let's assess your needs, develop goals together and work towards inner healing and true transformation.

Are you a teen, young adult, or working professional seeking practical solutions to life's challenges? Look no further. I'm James, a clinical therapist specializing in CBT with a holistic twist. In search of a compassionate guide who truly understands the complexities of modern life? Juggling the pressures of life, or relationships, or do you just want to become the best you? Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, addressing immediate concerns while delving deeper into the underlying root of your struggles. Together we will explore, heal, and thrive!

Are you… feeling irritable, sad, and withdrawn; worried and stressed; having issues in your relationships or marriage; struggling with substances that may seem to have a hold on you and creating more life problems; feeling “stuck” and unable to let go of past experiences; dealing with the loss of a loved one; having difficulty adjusting to changes in life; feeling out of control; or here because you have a desire to gain greater self-awareness? If your answer is “yes” to any of the above, then you’re in the right place. Take a deep breath, know that you’re not alone and I am here to help!

I strive to create an authentic and safe space through our relationship to make exploring your inner world possible, especially since therapy can be scary and vulnerable. You may be interested in accessing therapy to challenge, explore, and/or question aspects of yourself. While I am honored to witness and join you in this process, I believe that all internal and external forces over the course of our life shape who we are and how we navigate the world. Because of this, I really emphasize non-judgmental curiosity to better understand yourself in a compassionate way, especially if shame, embarrassment, and vulnerability arise.

Maybe you have anxiety, experienced trauma, or diagnosed with ADHD and you're looking to heal those parts. Perhaps you’re struggling with your partner, friends, boss, or parents and you’re looking to understand those relationships deeper. It can feel overwhelming and isolating working on healing from negative experiences, I get it. We may oftentimes find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure of where to go to next. I want to help you overcome that. Changing is not necessarily the answer, but rather growing into the version of you that you want to see.

I work in pursuit of a greater understanding of a persons life and mind, everything-feelings, beliefs, memories, dreams and even seemingly irrelevant passing thoughts. Emotional healing takes place in a safe space through the empathic work of a committed relationship between psychotherapist and patient that is radically individualized/fully confidential. My approach is with the concern of relieving immediate symptoms and resolving current life problems. Patients are encouraged to talk as freely as possible in an environment that can enhance their awareness into how they see themselves and the world around them with increased sense of freedom and validation.

Through a client centered approach, I incorporate an existential orientation to empower and support clients in gaining a more holistic state of mental, emotional, and physical well-being. I am an IFS and CBT informed practitioner that leans on nature based interventions and mindfulness/trauma-informed stress reduction tools when needed. I tend to attract clients who are looking for a warmhearted and open-minded clinician who is affirming to neurodiversity and alternative lifestyles, while being participatory in the therapeutic process.

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.

I offer holistic therapy to help women escape the veil of anxiety and live with authenticity. Clients I work with struggle with complex emotions. Despite being intelligent, hard-working, and having a witty sense of humor, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. When they first come to see me, they are exhausted by the never ending loop of “what if” scenarios and often find themselves trying to be perfect or pretend that they have it all together. If you’re ready to drop anxiety and find self-compassion, I'm your gal. We will work together in reclaiming your inner knowing, finding your voice, and living your most authentic life.

Are you experiencing symptoms related to anxiety or depression and want a better understanding of yourself and your relationships? Are you motivated for therapy and open to the challenges and rewards that therapy provides?

I am a L Professional Counselor with a compassion to help people who need support and guidance. I specialize in trauma informed care, depression, anxiety, autism, PTSD, and addiction, as well as the issues that go along with these concerns. I work with children 6 years and older, teenagers, young adults, adults, and aging adults. I believe in using approaches that best fit a person and following the lead of the client as to where they would like their therapy to go.

Many of my clients have tried traditional talk therapy before, but felt it didn't go deep enough or actually change anything. Others need the trustworthy, safe, and affirmative space they didn't have in childhood. My style is loving and experiential. I hold space for the emotional experimentation and learning that leads to long-term change.

I approach treatment as a collaboration between two partners, working together to deepen our understanding of your concerns, and construct alternative ways of thinking, being, relating and feeling. As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I consider our relationship an essential mechanism of change.

I am a Clinical Mental Health therapist with certifications in Addiction and Family Therapy. I have over 30 years experience helping individuals and families to become drug-free, and helping to empower individuals, couples and families in creating a healthy, loving, prosperous environment. My style is to explore their total health issues and challenges. My method is to develop a plan to assist/coach clients to grow, step-by-step, to overcome their life challenges. I have studied Clinical Counseling, Family, Addiction and Behavior Modification Therapies for many years. I have also studied Family Therapy Post-Graduate for 2 years.

Throughout my therapeutic training, I've engaged with diverse communities, including college students, first-generation college attendees, BIPOC individuals, and Asian Americans, within community mental health settings. Proficient in English, Urdu, and Pashto, I conduct therapy sessions in these languages. My approach emphasizes collaboration, focusing on nurturing healthy coping mechanisms and amplifying strengths to construct a personalized toolkit for use beyond therapy sessions.

Many of us, at some point in our lives, experience stress, struggle with interpersonal relationships, and question our self-worth. I have extensive experience and enjoy working with individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, experience chronic illness, as well as emerging adults struggling with life transitions through a relational psychodynamic orientation. I believe therapy can provide tremendous relief, increase joy and spontaneity, and allow you to know and experience a deeper sense of yourself. It can be difficult to start therapy. That is why I approach our work together from a place of compassion, genuineness, and authenticity.
