Rod White
PhD, MFT, MDiv
I enjoy the diversity of my clients, walking with adults of all ages and backgrounds. Since 2011 I have turned into the joys of psychotherapy after being primarily a pastor for many years. I wait for my clients to introduce faith into our process together and do not have preconceived notions about how therapy should work or where you should end up. I see my main job as listening carefully, mirroring your process with empathy and helping you move toward the goals you set, whether they are about reaching deeper inside or moving into the practical steps you need to take next week.

If you are skeptical about psychotherapy because so many therapists endlessly talk about feelings, dwell on the past, or have abstract theories that only they understand, then my sensible approach is for you. I teach you ideas to help you cope with difficult situations, challenging people, unfair burdens, acts of disrespect, disapproval, rejection, and states of deprivation. I teach you ideas and strive to get you in and out of therapy. In my view therapy should be problem-focused, efficient, sensible, and teach you how to help yourself. I do not want you to grow dependent on a psychotherapist but rather learn how to depend on you.

TESTIMONIAL. Prior to meeting Pamela Goffman I was desperately seeking a psychotherapist who could help me with my deep depression and feelings of emptiness and loneliness. For a period of five years I counseled with four different therapists to seek peace in my life. My life was a mess during my five year search, I had hit rock bottom. It had to be divine intervention that lead me to Pamela Goffman. While the four previous therapists talked me through my immediate issue(s), Pamela quickly identified the core of my pain and we began our journey of healing together.

Relationships are my speciality, especially issues of broken trust, communication, intimacy and addiction. While there is no perfect partner or relationship, our intimate relationships should be a source of joy, safety and support. Whether you are dating, married, engaged or divorced, "straight" or LGBTQIA, monogamous or polyamorous, kinky or vanilla, in college or in retirement, friends "with benefits" or platonic friends, I commit to listening carefully and without judgment to help you find solutions resulting in more peace and harmony in your relationships.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious, like life has lost its luster? Are these feelings getting in the way of having satisfying relationships, or feeling good about yourself? And are you curious about where this all came from? Living like this can be really painful, and these painful experiences can make us doubt our own goodness or value. But it can get better. Together, we can figure out what’s causing these feelings, and ways to overcome them. I’d like to help you feel better, stop beating yourself up, and get in touch with what’s good, strong, creative, and authentic about you. And enjoy your life more!

Have you noticed that your child/teen is more anxious, sad, or angry? Do they seem disconnected, spend more time alone, have trouble relating to peers, or have constant worries about life? Maybe you feel like you are walking on egg shells and unsure of how to respond to their behaviors. Perhaps, there has been a trauma that the whole family is still processing. There is more anxiety and stress and it is becoming overwhelming. You try and listen and offer support but you are out of ideas. You need someone who is objective, can relate to your child, and give them practical tools to help them through.

You’ve been feeling stressed, disconnected, and tired all. The. Time. Your motivation has tanked and your sex drive is either non-existent or you just don’t have the energy. Sex feels like so much work. The more disappointing sex you have, the more anxiety you feel, the more you stress. Ah! Why is this happening?? You’re frustrated because what you’ve tried hasn’t helped and is only stressing you out more. You want more connection and intimacy but don’t know how to make that happen. I’ll help you get your mind and body in sync and tell you why focusing on the sex itself isn’t helping… and what can!

My patients all share a desire for a happier and more fulfilling life, but may not be sure where to start. In turn, I believe most people are doing the best they can, with the tools they have, for themselves and those they care about. So the will is there - we just have to figure out a different way. That may mean adapting old tools, picking up some new ones, or both. We do that with a mixture of Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) therapy. Along the way, we identify each person's values that give their life meaning and purpose. These inform big decisions but also moment-to-moment actions.

Counselor, MA, LPC

Licensed in both PA and DE, my approach is integrative, intersectional, developmental, and contextual with a belief in the value of connection and the power of possibility. I understand that we are heavily shaped by our relationships, family experiences, and positionality in the world with regard to race, culture, class, gender identity, sexuality, etc. My practice is relationship and sexual intimacy focused, and I've deepened my lens to include training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, in addition to past experience with Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and IMAGO.

Therapy is the fight for autonomy over our decisions and our strengths-based connections in the aftermath. The universal social work tradition is to build practice based on reciprocity, continuity of care, consent, and affirmation. Therapists build supportive networks through community-based knowledge, interrelationships and love. We labor for access to self determination over our own identities and communities at large. We take a holistic view of the self through a social context, and work to create open and dynamic spaces and roles for ourselves and each other. This must include confronting stigma, isolation and disconnection.

Do you constantly worry about things? Do you feel like you have to perfect or you will be rejected? Do you leave a relationship before you get left? Is your current relationship unfulfilling? Does arguing, name calling and complaints have you ready to walk out the door? Has something or someone come between your relationship?

Specializing in LGBTQ+ identity affirming and gender inclusive care, I believe your story is unique, powerful, and deserving to be heard. Life is too short to stay stuck in bad relationships, let trauma take the wheel, or feel anxious and upset all the time. I want you to experience the freedom of meeting life on life’s terms, with a sense of purpose and meaning. Somatic psychotherapy is a whole-person approach, body and mind. Trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and attachment issues, and gender dysphoria, are among my specialities.

Do you lose your temper in an instant? Do you find it difficult to stay calm when people don't do what you want them to do? Is your anger putting your job or relationships at risk? Feelings of anger can play a positive role in our lives, letting us know when something is wrong. Unfortunately, without the right tools to express our emotions in healthy and appropriate ways, anger can be a destructive force. But you can learn how to stay in control of your behavior and communicate calmly.

My clients are dreaming of a better world, but feel stuck in dealing with a world that wasn't made with them in mind and 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. I used to feel this way before I embarked on my own healing journey, which I've been undergoing for years and which is still ongoing. I don't have all the answers, but I do have complete faith in my clients' capacity for change. I view this change process as starting with self, connecting with community, and finally engaging in systems change.

I work with teenage women and adult women who aspire to understand themselves more deeply, find their inner voice, and create healthy boundaries for their relationships and life. They value mindfulness, art, and creativity. These women may experience challenges in their relationships, or may wrestle with chronic illness. The folks I guide are open to looking at the root cause of symptoms or behaviors. They are open to exploring the mind and body from a WHOLE person approach and discovering the root cause of the symptom (s). They are open and ready for positive change and ask them to call on their courage!

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in Philadelphia, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in Philadelphia listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home.
