Are you struggling with sex ? Do you feel disconnected in your relationship, or from your own sexuality ? Maybe you're fed up with a lack of intimacy, tense conversations with your partner, or chronic self-doubt and worry. You might not even remember a time when you didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel more connected. You’re ready to feel more confident. Most of all, you’re ready to understand yourself better and to learn new ways of relating.

I believe that everyone is capable of healing and creating a life they love. I provide a safe space for people to talk about difficult experiences without fear of judgment. I specialize in relationships. I help couples heal. I teach them how to communicate in a healthy, effective way. They learn how to have hard conversations that end in deeper connection instead of deeper wounds. I also help single people navigate the dating world successfully & create healthy, loving partnerships. I teach people the relational skills they've always needed but were never taught so that they can move past issues that are keeping them from thriving.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first step on this adventure. I know finding the right therapist can be hard and a grueling process. For many clients this is the first time they have asked for help. I am passionate about creating a space for clients that is safe, freeing & nonjudgmental. I hope to do this through my multicultural background, interest in the client's perspective and the therapeutic relationship built. I operate from a systems & contextual framework where I believe clients are stuck, not sick. I work with clients to create goals and plans that are collaborative and empowering.

Therapy is an invaluable opportunity for individuals and couples to learn about themselves and the relationships that they want to cultivate. Whether you are thinking about working through a particular issue, hoping to gain clarity and focus in future decisions, or considering a short-term "check-up", I will work with you in a safe, non-judgmental space that cultivates compassion, healing, and growth. I believe in the power of building on each person/couple's strengths and discovering, through a collaborative approach, new ways to adapt and grow.

I have a passion for working with those exploring gender and sexual identity, trauma, substance use, recovery, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. The therapy I provide is tailored to your individual needs and can help you facilitate personal growth and development. Therapy is most effective when you feel safe and respected. I would be honored to provide that space for you. I view my work with you as a collaborative process. I want to learn more about you and understand the problems you are facing from your perspective. I can provide letters for gender confirmation surgery.

I am an active therapist. I design treatment plans and utilize strategies that are appropriate for both the issues and the personalities of my clients. I work with individuals in the context of their life and couples seeking to repair, improve or strengthen their relationship. My areas of specialty include intimacy, conflict, anger issues and the breadth of sexuality concerns.

Rather than thinking about changing who you are, we view therapy as a place to discover what is possible and provide the structure and outside perspective to bring this into your everyday. This can range from mood disorders and self image issues to sexuality and relationship challenges. It means helping our clients see where they have responsibility and an ability to make changes in their life and directing effort toward that. PHL Therapy Collective includes Brian Swope, LMFT, 3 graduate school interns, and 2 pre-licensure interns.

I started my own therapeutic journey when I realized the way I had always done things was not working for me anymore, and I needed some assistance in finding a different path. So often the coping mechanisms that kept us safe in our childhoods keep us from experiencing self-acceptance and the deep and meaningful connections we long to have as adults. Whether you are exhausted by your own people pleasing, mired in self-criticism, or struggling in your relationships, you deserve a place to gain insight into how your patterns have formed and what changes can be made to live a more fulfilling life.

As a clinician, my hopes are to create a safe, honest, collaborative space for folks to feel empowered to face the complex obstacles that may have them feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I regularly encourage activities outside of session as means to continue growth, practice learned knowledge, and to further establish empowerment within oneself and the systems you live in. I welcome anyone who is seeking therapy.

If you struggle with communication or shame, if you’d like to be more in touch with your inner voice or build better relationships, I encourage you to get in touch. As a therapist, especially as a couples and sex therapist, I believe that everyone can benefit from having a space to be honest and to feel safe in expressing their truth. As a warm and attentive listener, I am adept at crafting a calming and nonjudgmental space for us to engage in a collaborative process of recognizing and understanding life events as well as unhelpful patterns and beliefs.

Welcome! As a therapist my goal is to create a non-judgmental and supportive space where it feels safe to explore and grow. I have extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and relational trauma (domestic violence, childhood abuse) as well as a strong understanding of narcissistic abuse and codependency. I also work with individuals that may be experiencing anxiety, depression, and OCD as well as life stress from difficult loss or transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates a psychodynamic and interpersonal framework along with some elements of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CF-CBT).

Hi, I'm Evan! I am a compassionate, non-judgmental, and affirming therapist who strives to create a safe space to explore your relationships; both with others and with yourself. I will help you find balance in times of transition or stress, with a collaborative and person-centered approach. In sessions, we will investigate some of the root causes of the patterns in your life and strive for self-discovery and self-growth. I will help you to identify and ultimately challenge negative self-talk that has likely impacted your view of self and led to negative coping behaviors.

As a trauma-informed and radically affirming therapist, I aim to help clients with challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, self-image, relationships, eating disorders, and more. The majority of my clinical experience has been in working with LGBTQ+ clients as well as individuals with substance use challenges. I work from a sex positive, culturally-sensitive, and polyamory-aware lens and welcome discussion of these topics in therapy. Furthermore, as a therapist with foundations in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I incorporate mindfulness in therapy to help clients live a more psychologically flexible life.

You love your partner dearly, but your relationship is not how you want it to be. You smile and suppress your feelings, or you're constantly vocalizing your dissatisfaction, but it doesn't change the current state of your relationship. You know deep down this is not sustainable for you. The lack of intimacy in your relationship stresses you out. You're constantly thinking of ways to improve your relationship, but your efforts seem to go unnoticed. You worry your partner's lack of effort and appreciation will confirm the fear you've been avoiding, "I don't feel seen by my partner, and I'm scared they don't care about me."

I believe entering therapy is a brave step. I tailor my counseling style to fit the needs of my clients. I am client focused and use an integrative process of cognitive behavioral, supportive, mindfulness, and holistic techniques to help you address your concerns. Together we will find new solutions to the issues that trouble you. I look forward to you joining my practice.

Three beliefs I hold that influence how I practice are 1) human beings are not problems to be solved 2) therapy is ultimately about relationship 3) the process itself is the solution. We humans are infinitely complex; we're full of opposition and paradox. Our culture pushes quick fixes and immediate answers, but lasting change rarely comes about when we work in this way. I'm interested in helping you come into fuller, richer, more conscious relationship with all of your moving and sometimes disparate parts. Together we will work from the inside out through a deep, relational process.

You are capable of creating change in your life. My role is one of encouragement and support for making that change. Together we will find ways to cope better in the situations that matter to you and facilitate personal growth by exploring new ways to interact with your world, yourself and those around you. I believe you are the best resource on what works for you. In session we will spend time exploring the issues most important to you and find a way to work through those together.
