Allan L Goldberg
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
In addition to anxiety and depression, I specialize in diverse areas such as
men
seeking recovery from childhood trauma, gay
men
self-actualizing in an ever-changing world, artists and creativity, and graduate students/dissertation preparation.
I believe that the work of therapy needs to be done in an atmosphere of safety, intelligence, warmth and humor. Therapy is often hard work because it takes so much commitment for us to look at ourselves objectively and work through challenging issues in our lives. Sometimes we come to therapy because there is a specific situation that we need immediate and/or brief assistance with or for an objective voice of reason. Sometimes we come to therapy because there have been challenges over time that have gotten in our way of getting what we want out of our lives.

I specialize in working with
Men
, specifically survivors of sexual abuse and assault; individuals who are a part of the LGBTQAI+ community, and individuals who wish to incorporate a spiritual nature into their therapy.
We are constantly transitioning and struggling with life experiences and relationships. Whether it is frustrations due to family or work interactions, or the grief and sadness that follows the death of a loved one, day to day life can be difficult to manage. When we learn how to manage our emotions, discuss what is making us uncomfortable, and work through a major life change, we can make the day to day more manageable. You are not alone in your struggles, and I hope to assist in your journey to making your life less stressful and more fulfilling.

Chris Wilson
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, CST, MEd, CHES
Verified
I am one of a few
male
Certified Sex Therapist in Philadelphia and Media areas.
I strive to create an environment which is affirming and comfortable yet also expect I will challenge clients in their assumptions regarding thoughts, behaviors, and social interactions. I often use humor, clinical vignettes, and use of self (my own experiences) to create a positive therapeutic experience for the clients I serve. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist. As such, clients create goals for themselves while therapist assist them in reaching their goals. I want clients to obtain the services that are right for them, as such, I am always willing and happy to provide referrals as needed.

Unresolved pain and unnamed hungers in our lives create serious ruptures in our here and now. Disruptive mood patterns and compulsions are signs of emotional injury that deserve a space to be held and cared for. Therapy is a place for this work and can be the site where the mind, body, & spirit become a family again. I support folx through a healing and relational framework to re-connect with values, in hopes to take committed action towards goals and wishes.

Joseph A Ofalt
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I specialize in working with Philadelphians;
men
over 40; parents of special-needs children; and LGBTQ people.
At times you may feel too depleted to consider making needed changes in your life, or to know what is even possible to change. Old coping mechanisms no longer work so well, bringing diminishing returns and unhappiness. It may take a crisis to be ready to seek help. Psychotherapy can reveal ways of replacing the behavior patterns and symptoms that cause us trouble with real solutions. Using the insights of existential and psychodynamic perspectives of psychology - including dream work - as a basis, I will help you understand yourself, care for yourself, and discover strength and meaning wherever you may find yourself in your life.

As an Associate Sex Addiction Therapist Candidate (ASAT-C) with over 17 years of experience working with
men
who struggle with alcohol, drug, gambling, and compulsive sexual behaviors and 20 years as an educator, I can help you move towards the life you always wanted.

Being a
man
of color, I view therapy a bit differently.
My therapy focuses on you and your needs. My job is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you on your journey, making you aware of and exploring things that may hinder your success. I am trauma-informed and feel that past experiences heavily impact how we navigate the world currently. Personal identity also plays a significant role in our lives and sometimes affects mental health. The client-therapist relationship is extremely important and it is my job to build trust, so you feel comfortable being completely open and honest in a non-judgmental session so positive change can occur.
