Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Philadelphia, PA
Trauma doesn’t always stay in the past. For some, experiences like childhood abuse, domestic violence, loss, or major life disruptions continue to show up—in the body, in reactions, or in moments that feel more intense than they should. You may find yourself wanting to move forward, yet feeling pulled back by anxiety, hypervigilance, or a sense that something still isn’t right. As painful as trauma can be, healing is possible. Our work focuses on helping you reconnect to the present so your mind and body can begin to recognize that you are no longer there.

As a psychologist, I was trained using methods developed long ago. Many of those methods work effectively; however, we are in a different place now; times have changed, people have evolved, and our environment is entirely different. Each situation is unique; each person’s stress, anxiety, and depression are distinct. Constantly providing for others, being there for others, and putting others first is taking a significant toll on your well-being. I use an alternative approach – a combination of traditional along with a holistic and spiritual approach to you move forward and get “unstuck” from your current situation.
