I believe in individualized healing: that no two people are the same & we learn from each other's presence. We will decide together what works best for you to improve your quality of life and health & wellness. I believe self-image, self-worth, and personal well-being come from the stories we tell ourselves and the identities we exist in the world with. Addressing issues such as depression, anxiety & grief in a holistic way can bring about change and healing. I engage healing through increasing relationship fulfillment, improving body & self-image, nutrition assessment, life transition support, and recovery from trauma and loss.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. Hello, My name is Alimah Walker, Psychotherapist and Transpersonal Counselor with over 25 years experience in the Philadelphia area, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

I am currently accepting clients. I help individuals struggling to have power over themselves and their decisions. I also help couples and families who are struggling to maintain trust and connection in their relationships. Sometimes we feel stuck in a vicious cycle or pattern of behaviors that we need extra help interrupting. I help empower clients to help themselves, break the cycle and create a new pattern on their own terms.

I am accepting new clients virtually in PA & NY. I help young adults and adults navigate life transitions, identity development, codependence self-esteem/self-worth; grief; relational issues; anxiety; depression; ADHD; & trauma. I also offer & am passionate about psychedelic integration. I believe that by building trust within ourselves, we are able to better navigate personal relationships. I think it is vital to look at reoccurring themes in our lives, deconstruct how we make meaning in our lives through the stories we tell, & explore difficult emotions to find acceptance, compassion, & respect for ourselves & others.

I believe therapy's main goal is to help us come to terms with our past and move on with our lives. What helped us adapt to our environment before, may be maladaptive now. We may experience stressful situations, and these situations may negatively impact the way we see ourselves, the way that we see others, the way that we see the world, and the way that we see our future. The good news is that with courage, curiosity and introspection we can change even the most deep-seated negative beliefs about ourselves and others; we can become aware of and change the way we react.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, parenting troubles during a pandemic, COVID fatigue? Maybe you've experienced the loss of a loved one or are feeling the loss of normalcy. I am ready to help you achieve your goal of becoming your best self. I want to make therapy accessible, whether it's your first session or you've tried it before.

As someone who has struggled with anxiety and a highly sensitive nervous system, I know how important it is to learn as much about yourself as you can so you can understand what coping mechanisms work for you. I want to help you explore new ways to see your life and help you alleviate and heal your emotional suffering. In a safe space to share your true self, you can begin your journey toward optimal living. There is so much healing that comes from simply being able to speak your truth. Words have power, especially when said out loud.

Are you overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out? Would you like to manage your stress more effectively? Maybe you're struggling to keep up with work and family responsibilities, maybe your emotions feel out of control, or maybe you want to have better relationships. Many people have great ideas about how to solve their own problems, but then become frustrated when these strategies aren't working consistently.

Do you struggle with feelings of frustration, insecurity, or just being stuck? Do you feel overwhelmed and unsure how to make it through the day? Are you engaged in a toxic relationship, either personal or work related? If this sounds familiar, you are not alone and there is help. I would like to help you feel like yourself again. Together, we will identify strategies and motivation for change so you can achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle, that aligns with your values.

I believe therapy is to be a safe, open, nonjudgmental space to explore stressors and goals on an individual and systemic level. A space for you to be seen, heard, and understood with kindness, cultural sensitivity, curiosity, and compassion. To get you to a place where you’re able to grow and thrive, not held back by certain pressures. I strive to create that safe space in therapy, to address difficult topics while making sure to highlight moments of joy and accomplishment as well. In finding balance, to find what works well for you, in healthy and adaptive ways, can help with being better equipped to face challenges in life

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 15 years, and enjoy creating a therapy environment that is supportive, open, and warm. I provide therapeutic treatment for individuals, couples and families on the problems they experience in their lives and relationships. I encourage a space where patients can lean into their experiences, becoming more comfortable with their thoughts and feelings throughout the process. I often incorporate humor into our sessions while helping my patients to develop a new relationship with themselves and their various emotional, psychological and behavioral experiences.

Everyone can benefit from support at various times throughout their lives. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and adjustment challenges such as becoming a parent, starting a new career, coping with a health concern, or experiencing relationship stress. I work collaboratively with individuals to gain awareness into their experiences and develop tools to lead a more content, fulfilling life.

There may be instances where we question how we are supposed to go through life without a guidebook. Sometimes what we need isn’t someone to tell us what to do, but to find someone to guide us and support us through our journey— and that’s what I am here to do. I focus on exploring the patient's challenges through their own personal lens. I view sessions as a collaboration: we will work through this together. We will explore deep emotions safely and slowly. We will collaborate to promote more positive and adaptive coping mechanisms. We will find skills to use when future challenges arise. And, we will do it all with a hint of humor.

What brings you to seek therapy is personal, important, and deserving of attention. I offer a non-judgmental and safe space to learn, grow, and share. I support adults as they confront transformation and change, such as relationship issues, grief and loss, and adjustment to illness. I have extensive experience helping people cultivate and maintain recovery from using substances.
