I work with teens, young adults, and middle-adult women who may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or the constant balancing act of everyday life. Many of the people I support are navigating big transitions, starting careers, managing family responsibilities, redefining relationships, or figuring out who they are in this next phase of life. If you often find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, or wondering how everyone else seems to “have it together,” you are definitely not alone and you don’t have to sort it out by yourself.

Hello! My name is Brittany and I am a queer black dance/movement therapist, licensed counselor, embodiment coach, and performing artist. I would describe myself as an eclectic clinician who prioritizes decolonial approaches to therapy and community centered healing. As a neurodivergent artist and therapist from the South, it is my hope to prioritize lived experiences and challenge systems of oppression. I believe that the body and soul are channels of memory, sacred spaces for vulnerability, and entities for radical introspection.

Hilary Bucell: therapy for couples, grief, trauma
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
4 Endorsed
Philadelphia, PA 19102
I work with individuals and couples who find themselves stuck in patterns shaped by love, loss, and feelings of inadequacy— often showing up as anxiety, fear of abandonment, panic, intrusive thoughts, communication and intimacy struggles, or grief rooted in chronic illness, pain, and losses that are not recognized by society: the parent or family you didn't have, or dream that never came to be.
My clients are driven, deeply caring, and reflective. Yet, they are often very self-critical, overwhelmed or numbed by emotions, and stuck in relational patterns. They seek reassurance, and in relationships intimacy and communication is strained. The body may be a source of pain, and they grieve what goes unacknowledged: the family they never had or dreams that never came to be. Therapy can offer us a place of safety, validation, and support so we can begin to view ourselves and relationships anew; cultivating non-judgemental acceptance to gain a better understanding of what motivates us, where we are stuck, and how to move forward.
