Hello! My name is Philippa Watkins, a licensed marriage and family therapist who works with adult clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship challenges, and life stressors. I have 12+ years of experience in the field and provide counseling and psychotherapy services to individuals who want to explore healthier and more helpful ways of tackling life and of being in this world with self and others. I am an engaged, curious, and practical therapist. My overall approach is one of helpfulness, kindness, and hope.
My clinical approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing on many different therapeutic orientations in order to best address your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and your preferences.
I listen to your story and communicate respect and choice. My communication style is kind, authentic, and direct. I use curiosity, humor, and compassion, and provide space and safety for your experience. Furthermore, I am comfortable with intensity and ready to have conversations that may be difficult or that we may not have language for, yet.
