Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

We all need space to prioritize our thoughts and feelings, to say what we need to say out loud, to someone who will not judge us for how we think and feel. Oftentimes, we cannot expect the people in our lives to be impartial or unbiased. Sometimes the people in our lives are far too involved in what causes us to need this space, to process our trauma, and they might not realize why we are anxious or depressed. In the therapeutic relationship, it is all about what you want and need. I will listen and ask thoughtful questions and help you recognize patterns and make connections.

As an expert in trauma, OCD, anxiety disorders, and related conditions (e.g., skin picking, hair pulling, body dysmorphia), I am passionate about supporting clients in: (1) healing from trauma and processing grief/loss, (2) feeling more in control of OCD and anxiety symptoms, (3) navigating life stressors and relational difficulties, and (4) managing associated challenges (e.g., mood disorders, sleep problems, perfectionism, ADHD). I also specialize in providing care to LGBTQ+ individuals, including conducting evaluations for those seeking gender-affirming surgeries.

It is brave to seek out help on your path to healing. Many of us get the message that healing is an individual journey but trauma and healing are rooted in the context in which we live. Healing is a process that is made possible by building loving connection with ourselves and others.

My ideal PCIT family seeks to enhance their parent-child relationship, heal from trauma, and foster growth. They aim to strengthen bonds, improve communication, and develop effective parenting strategies for a nurturing family environment. My ideal EMDR client desires healing from trauma, aiming to alleviate distress and enhance mental health. My ideal CBT client is motivated to address anxiety, depression, or other challenges, embracing new coping skills for improved well-being, actively engaging in therapy to achieve their goals.

I empower clients who are trying to get things right, but feel like they always fall short. Maybe you are stepping out on your own as a young adult, or navigating the mounting pressures of being a teen, or feeling overwhelmed by the stress of parenting a child dealing with their own big feelings. I support clients to accept difficult parts of yourself to feel more whole. I support skill-building to reduce anxiety & to enhance your trust in yourself & your abilities. In art making, we can create space to process experiences that feel outside of spoken language.

Looking to make change in your life, but not sure if it is possible? Do you feel terrified of the world, or struggle to trust yourself or other people? I work with people to make measurable and meaningful change in their lives. I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable with themselves, other people, and the world. I value building safety and trust using humor, empathy, and authenticity.

I work with adults, young adults, and teens in individual therapy. Some common focuses include depression, anxiety, relationship/family of origin difficulties, sexual concerns, and grief. I specialize in trauma work, which may involve addressing problems feeling reminded of a distressing past event, issues with memory and dissociation, in addition to interpersonal difficulties.

I believe that we all struggle with trauma, and most mental health challenges stem from how one adapts to these experiences. I specialize in working with trauma, identifying how it is held in the body, the strategies we uphold as defense mechanisms, and how to negotiate with our inner self to move toward a healthy healing of mind and body. Coming from either a top down approach for those thinker types, or a bottom up approach for those feeler types, we will compassionately reconnect the mind and body, in order to achieve relief and greater connectivity to self and others.

Hello! I'm Kathryn Nevin, LCSW, CCTP. It's wonderful to see you seeking support and making strides to connect here! I'm here to assist with various challenges like anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss, self-harm, and personality disorders. My focus lies particularly in trauma therapy. In our first session, I'll tailor our approach to suit your needs and optimize outcomes.

The Nava Center is a nonprofit organization providing psychotherapy and training to the community and organizations to decrease the impact of trauma and increase engagement in anti-racism. We strive to help you flourish through empowerment focused psychotherapy, essential education, and creating sustainable change. We meet our clients where they are and help get them where they want to go. The Nava Center completes a full trauma evaluation to help determine the best treatment modality and intervention. We also offer supervision for clinical providers who want to use a trauma and antiracist lens.

Healing happens relationally–within our communities, our families, and within ourselves. Therapy works best if we can build a safe and trusting relationship, so you should know a little bit about who I am! I am a white, queer and trans femme musician turned therapist. I am areligious, but I find many experiences to be deeply spiritual, including cooking, being in community with others, singing together, and walking in nature. Folks who do well with me don't fit the status quo, are navigating transitions, are noticing patterns in their relationships they want to examine and change, and are in search of healing and transformation.

Seeking an intentional space for healing and discovery is a meaningful choice. Through curiosity, warmth, and honesty, I work collaboratively to support clients in connecting their history, relationships, environment, to their current challenges and future goals. I believe that all of our stories are contextual, therefore I work towards identifying oppression-based barriers and explore the environmental impact through an anti-oppressive and liberation lens. My focus is to create a space where you can be empowered, express your pain, learn new ways of coping, and continue to grow into your most authentic self.

I offer you new learning about yourself and new neurological wiring based on scientific findings about mind and body. We build on your strengths and bring greater balance to your thinking, your emotions and your behavior. We meet mostly by teletherapy, but we might meet in-person for our first visit and afterwards. We focus on body awareness, identifying regressive triggers, and mastering skills to manage greater joy in life, stronger connections and resilience. When we agree that you are ready, you can join our monthly workshop where your will learn and practice resilience skills with others.

Hi. Let me introduce myself. I earned my MSW from Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, and I practice a strength based, holistic approach to therapy by using a variety of theories and techniques based on each individual's personality and needs. It is my firm belief that everyone possesses the natural ability to reach their most evolved and emotionally intelligent self.

Everyone deserves a safe space to be heard, seen and supported. It is my intention to create such a space. I understand that life is messy and I will work with you to solve life's challenges as they arise.

Being human can be overwhelming. Most of us are balancing various responsibilities on top of trying to give ourselves what we need, if we even know what that may be. My work focuses on making sense of what feels complex, placing it into words, and meaningful action. Many people I work with are struggling to balance personal wants and expectations of their families, experiencing internal conflict due to living in dual cultures, coping with trauma from substance abuse, racism, or are generally exhausted from worry and sadness.

Are you feeling down, anxious, and isolated? Are you experiencing struggles with work, life transitions, or unresolved trauma? I am passionate about working with adults, children, couples, and families who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, and life transitions. I am also dedicated to assisting immigrants and international students in navigating adjustments to American culture.
