Sexual Abuse Therapists in 19114

Hi! First off, I want to say thank you for checking out my page on your search for a therapist. Over the years I have become a trusted resource for people from all identities, races, cultures, genders, sexualities, and ages. I have been a practicing clinician under supervision for 2 years. I am currently pre-licensed and operate under the supervision of Dante Barfield, LPC at Unorthodox Wellness LLC. Finding where you fit in, your place, what your purpose is, and where to find meaning is a difficult journey. Together, we can explore the past, present, and future in a way that feels comfortable to you.

I have worked with groups and individuals since 2006 with a focus on helping clients decrease unwanted mental health symptoms as well as helping them reach their full potential. I utilize an integrative evidence-based approach to include Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) to help clients gain self-awareness and challenge negative thinking. I focus on treating the whole person including the mind, body, and spirit. I utilize Mindfulness Techniques, Movement/Dance Instructing, and Spiritual Meditation alongside traditional therapy to treat each person’s needs holistically.

My approach to therapy begins with meeting the individual where they are in their lives and creating a safe, non-judgmental space to work on identifying strengths and challenges. I have worked with a diverse group of individuals with a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles, stress management, substance abuse, and issues relating to the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. As a former Division I & professional athlete, I have a special interest in working with competitive athletes. I incorporate strengths-based, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, CBT, & ACT therapeutic models within my practice.

Taking the time to learn & care for yourself is a brave and rewarding journey. To cope, grow, and heal are intergyral parts of therapy. My goal as a therapist is to ultimately help you feel empowered and to live as authentically as you can. I work with clients ranging from teens to adults. I practice in the states of PA & NJ. I pride myself on being culturally informed and affirming to all. I treat a wide array of struggles including: childhood trauma, emotional trauma, workplace trauma, medical trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, life transitions, identity struggles, anxiety, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties.

I founded Melanin Mommy Therapy with Black Women at the forefront. As a Black Women, we often identify with the feeling of failing when in reality, we are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and so much more. Many people may look at the Black Woman and automatically place her at the bottom of the totem pole and I say that is because we as Black Women are the foundation of so much. We carry so much on our shoulders while being told to be strong and pray on it.
