Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

I am a passionate therapist whose mission is to help you to achieve emotional wellness. As a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve practiced therapy for over 7 years in a variety of settings. My therapeutic treatment modalities include Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure and Solution Focused Brief Therapy with an understanding of choosing from eclectic, appropriate modalities to meet the client’s needs. I have experience treating a wide variety of mental health diagnoses including: anxiety, depression, trauma, and bipolar disorder and substance abuse.

This journey of life can sometimes be trying, difficult, and uncomfortable, but I believe that by meeting clients where they are and working together, we can create steps in a journey which will lead to a brighter future. I look forward to working with you to untangle and pull strings from the past, create meaning in the present and make space for healing in the future

So many of us are worried that we have an unfixable problem, or that we ourselves are broken beyond repair. Whatever the issue, we all need someone who's willing to come in and sit in that place with us. I believe that therapy is a relationship, a chance to open up long-closed boxes and explore meaning in a safe place with a caring person. In that space, we can cultivate growth and change.

I help individuals and couples work on trauma, psychological and relational issues and behaviors so that they can resolve them and enrich their lives. I have been a clinical psychologist since the mid-eighties and I view our work together as a collaborative process. I will begin by learning about and understanding you and your problem and we will figure out together what has contributed to your difficulties. The next step is to create a treatment plan tailored to you and your goal/s. Treatment consists of resolving these difficulties and re-accessing joy and interest in life.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience and I have been treating clients in private practice for the past 10 years in Philadelphia. I work with adults, children and families. I support my clients and help them learn how to cope with and overcome personal challenges, build inner strength and develop self-confidence. I create therapeutic atmosphere of respect, safety, and trust. I help my clients to recognize, discover and develop their own resources. I listen and take interest in each client. My approach is tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

I make an LGBTQ+ affirming space a priority. I welcome all sexual and gender identities and I work alongside individuals as they define and develop the fabric of their identity, confront the sources of their distress, and integrate already existing strengths and resources into a more cohesive experience of who they are. My practice also supports adolescents and adults as they work through anxiety, depression and the legacy of trauma.

My role is to partner with you in your work to discover, invent and empower yourself. When we are not outside grounding ourselves in nature, I offer more traditional talk therapy for individuals, intimate partners, and families. I want to help you to know and trust yourself if you have faced alienation or discrimination due to racial, gender, age, sexual, ability, or other minority stress. Your identity is not dis-ease. Your individuality contains your strength.

I am a creative and kind therapist who listens carefully to your story so that together we can find a path towards achieving your hopes and dreams. You can choose from a variety of healing practices such as mindfulness and movement, or cognitive therapy, to gather resources that will help you heal both the mind and the body. I focus on adults with trauma and dissociative disorders, mood disorders (anxiety, depression) and ADHD, and children with big emotions and behaviors. I also consult with groups (schools, institutes), individuals and parent groups, to educate about trauma and parenting. Lets "zoom" or meet in my office!

My name is Tim Sosin. I'm certified EMDR therapist and trauma specialist. I treat PTSD, attachment trauma and dissociation by providing therapy intensives. I am devoted to efficiently liberating those living their lives through the lens of their trauma by going directly to the root. You can regain the freedom to write your own story rather than it being authored by your trauma and developmental wounds by default. Healing happens. If you feel like your life is inhibited by your past in any way, I would love to provide you with individual therapy or an intensive healing experience. (Accepting clients for intensives only right now).

Everyone faces some bumps on the road of life. Often times it is helpful to have someone besides friends or family to help fix the pot holes or navigate a new road. One of my strengths is creating a safe space through a non-judgmental attitude, being open minded, using humor, and basically keeping it real. By blending a focus on present day problems and any childhood issues we will work towards the goals you want to accomplish. Together we will focus on you making healthier choices, improving mood and self-esteem, and creating a better life balance.

Therapy can create greater meaning in your life, illuminate and transform unhealthy patterns, and nourish a sense of connection to those around you. Whether you seek help with specific concerns---like childhood traumas, current traumas, anxiety, depression, or relationship crisis---maybe, you simply want to better understand yourself, I am here to help. I create a safe and supportive space to help your process your emotion, identify strengths and weaknesses, and barriers to reaching your ultimate goal of self healing.

Jacob is an MSW candidate at Smith, with a 2nd year internship at Walnut Psychotherapy Center. Jacob believes that the relationship between a therapist and a client is of the utmost importance, and that cultivating an environment of safety, understanding, and acceptance is the foundation upon which any therapeutic work must be built. He prides himself on balancing being direct and authentic with clients while maintaining a wholly empathetic stance. Jacob holds that living under racial capitalism is inherently traumatizing, and that therapy should reflect this reality.

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.
