Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

I am sorry to say that my practice is full at this time. I am a clinical psychologist and a psychoanalyst with 30 years experience. I enjoy working with people of all ages including children from 0 to 18, young adults, adults and elders. I also work with parents on parenting issues and growth promoting strategies for their children.

I specialize in therapy care for children, teens, young adults & families. Parents are included as part of the therapy process from start to finish. Individual clients are seen as well using a relational and humanistic lens. Issues you may want to focus on: building cooperation & fostering openness instead of hostility & defiance; growing self esteem & confidence instead of fearfulness, clinging & sadness; increasing tolerance, self control instead of tantrums & aggression. Our work will heal family patterns of discord, hurt & division & will help children along their journey of becoming a confident, well rounded individual.

Are you facing overwhelming emotions or struggling to navigate healthy and stable relationships, especially during your teenage and young adult years, or as a member of the queer and trans community? As a parent, are you tired of feeling like you're walking on eggshells with your child, teen or young adult? Are you unsure if they will ever be ok again or feeling uncertain about how to support them? At Daisy + Co. Therapy, we've got you covered. We specialize in helping kids, teenagers, young adults, and their parents reconnect with themselves, each other, and gain the coping skills they need to reach their full potential, together.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you need to drop into greater ease or “grounding”, but you keep getting “triggered” and respond in your old ways? Have you tried meditation or yoga, yet feel something is missing? Have you sensed true “flow” and playfulness in your interactions with others or within yourself, but, sadly, it is just not consistent? Educators, do seek being that teacher who moved you into this profession? Have you spent time learning how to develop your parenting and general relationship skills, but you keep reverting to prior patterns of reactivity? If so, try something new with me.

Are you experiencing overwhelming emotion, relationship challenges, or difficulty parenting? I work with parents, coparents, partners, and individuals 13 or older. As a clinician at Daisy + Co. Therapy, an all-queer and gender-affirming private practice, I am here to offer unwavering hope and compassion. I use a trauma informed approach, and I offer full program DBT, as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to create a safe environment where you can feel secure and supported to explore and be inquisitive about yourself. If you feel changes are needed in your life; if you are feeling depressed, fearful, ashamed, angry, stuck or confused, anxious or worried; or if you just can't stop self-defeating behaviors, you can benefit from therapy.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.—.Si siente que necesita cambios en su vida; si se siente deprimido, temeroso, avergonzado, enojado, o preocupado, o si no puede controlar los comportamientos autodestructivos, usted puede beneficiarse de la terapia.

I specialize in care for children, teens, young adults, and families: 1) Building cooperation and openness in place of defiance and lying; 2) Cultivating self-control in place of tantrums and aggression; 3) Fostering contentment and self-confidence in place of sadness and worry; and 4) Developing genuine closeness in place of clinging and irritability. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience addressing core relational issues of protection, loyalty, authority, trust, fairness, and forgiveness. I help families heal from generational wounds and allow children develop appropriate individuation, using the secure base of a trusting parent-child relationship.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment in which people can share their thoughts, feelings, and struggles and explore barriers to achieving their goals and finding fulfillment in their lives. Psychotherapy can be a helpful resource for people to gain the insight, support, and self-compassion they need to make changes in their lives, improve their relationships, and to heal and grow. I welcome the opportunity to start this journey with you.

Parenting Services for Families and After Adoption is a prevention-early intervention psychotherapy and educational practice for families with young children, both by birth and via adoption. Elaine Frank and Denise Rowe assist parents in getting to know their infants and toddler's personalities and ways of relating and communicating. The better one knows one's child, the more effective will be parenting strategies. Parent-child groups are a stimulating, enjoyable way to learn about aspects of the parent-child relationship, improve child and parent behavior, and learn about the 'ghosts' one brings from childhood to parenthood.

If you've decided to look for better ways to take care of yourself or boost a relationship, finding the right therapist is a great start. I offer a calm, safe place for people to begin making sense of their most confusing, distressing difficulties. Usually these include parenting struggles, conflict with loved ones, traumatic experiences, and self-defeating behavior patterns. I'm a sensitive, knowledgeable and insightful supporter who can help you gain the understanding you need to define your best path toward healthier relationships and a happier you.

You are a concerned parent going through a divorce. Divorce wasn't part of the plan, but you also believe it's a necessary step. You’re ambitious and competent and used to handling everything on your own. Sure, you do get some help here and there, but mentally you keep it all together. Lately you’re finding yourself overthinking, stuck, and unsure of yourself. You’re revisiting memories of the relationship and trying your best to navigate co-parenting. To the outside world you have friends, family and a busy professional life, but on the inside you’re feeling overwhelmed and isolated.

If you are experiencing parenting or relationship challenges and feeling increased anxiety in these areas of your life, I can help provide support and guidance through these stressors. If you are a college student experiencing academic pressures and overwhelm, I can offer a non-judgmental space for you to explore these concerns and help you develop more coping strategies.

We tend to have many expectations about parenthood and need help adjusting when things don’t go to plan.

I have had over 30 years of experience working with clients who are experiencing difficulties at transition times in their lives. I work with adolescents, adults and the elderly who are going through challenges associated with life cycle changes such as relationship problems, school or job related problems or dealing with chronic or acute medical problems. I work from a family systems perspective and often work with family members of those experiencing the kinds of issues I mentioned above. Many of the clients I work with present with depression, anxiety, anger, significant loss , couples issues and/or parenting issues.

I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, safe environment that will support your innate ability to heal and grow. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between you and I, and I highly value building deep, genuine connections with the people with whom I work. Through connection, and a gentle balance of nurture and challenge, lasting change can occur.

Therapy can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.
