Penn Behavioral Health Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
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.

When it comes to our lives and sense of self, our inner wisdom can become drowned out by the noise of circumstance and context. I believe that therapy is a journey that allows us to hear that wisdom again (or for the first time) and ultimately, (re) connect to ourselves. It is a space where we can explore the different parts of ourselves, where we befriend and harmonize with our inner characters, bringing our inner world into better alignment so that we can find peace in our external world. Therapy also involves exploring ways in which we can build a soul-nourishing community, both internally and externally, for ourselves.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed when a variety of experiences like divorce, high stress, interpersonal conflict with a partner, changes in your mental health, or unexpected grief or trauma affect your quality of life. Life can present us with challenges and sometimes we lack the tools or understanding to process them effectively. As someone who has experienced some of these same things, I can help guide your healing by identifying relevant goals, validating your experience through my own, and helping you tell your story. It's important that the goals and focus are determined by you to start healing in a safe space.

“Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig. You deserve to feel heard and seen. You are worthy of having a compassionate and accepting environment where you can feel empowered to change, grow, and evolve. Therapy is a partnership, and my role in your wellness journey is to help you develop into the best version of yourself, by overcoming stressors, shifting perspectives, and fostering resilience.

Hi, I’m Al (she/her he/him). When we take time to slow down and give our pain attention, we make meaning out of our struggles and experience healing. I love this process, it's engaging, but more importantly it’s an opportunity to resist oppressive forces by offering ourselves love and space. Using various methods, we can: carefully explore grief and trauma; pull apart shame, and be present for parts of you that deserve compassion; empower you over oppressive systems; make room for more pleasure and joy; relate to others differently, more deeply, or more often; affirm who you are, and find gratitude for what you’ve learned.

Asking for help is fucking hard. But let's be real, what you're doing now isn't necessarily easy either... lying awake replaying conversations wondering if you sounded weird. Rewriting the same message three times before hitting send. Creating fake emergencies to bail out on plans last minute. Assuming someone's mad at you because they didn’t respond right away. You don’t have to keep spiraling like this. You can learn to stop getting pulled into every anxious thought your brain throws at you.

My work with clients is a collaborative partnership in which cultivating connection is a central component. Therapy with me a place where we identify and reduce barriers on your path, while we lean into your strengths and goals to process experiences and build capacity and skills. Initially trained as a trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral therapist, I have expanded and shifted my work to integrate emotions-focused modalities and relational and systems approaches. This multi-dimensional method allows us to fully understand your experience and more precisely meet your needs as you pursue the change you’d like to make.
