Sometimes, those experiences are overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally exhausting. I believe that people are resilient and have the ability for change. My approach to therapy is collaborative, with a focus on self-exploration, increasing insight, and empowering a person to be the best version of themselves. I am a systemically-trained therapist, meaning that I view the individual in the context of their larger lived experience (think of all the influences from the outside world on the individual thought process). I focus on attachment, the physical response to emotions, and emotion regulation to help people be attuned to their true self. Collaboratively, we will identify goals that you'd like to achieve through therapy. You will learn ways to identify and honor your authentic self and to maintain resiliency throughout life's challenges. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to engage in self-exploration. I would like to invite you to reach out and see if I can help you navigate some of life's hurdles. I offer in-person therapy for individuals, couples, and parent-child relationships. I offer teletherapy for individuals. I am available for supervision towards licensure for LPC, LCSW, and LMFT. https://www.riverwardswellness.com/sarah-disanto daily 0.75 2025-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba05bd312b13f575b686168/0dabfe37-aefc-4e85-8e56-2c9dcd1623b9/Sarah+Photo.jpeg Sarah DiSanto - Sarah DiSanto LPC | Licensed Professional Counselor My approach to therapy is focused on providing the tools and coping skills needed to manage struggles independently, while enhancing self awareness and building insight into the root cause of your internal discomfort. Building insight may involve discussing core beliefs that developed during childhood or during other formative life experiences and exploring how these impact your current thought patterns and behaviors. I am passionate about treating women with pregnancy anxiety, postpartum and parenting issues, pregnancy loss and infertility. I am a mother of 2 young children and understand the unique challenges and pressures parents face in society today. My goal is to create a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space for you to navigate the transition to parenthood and process the changes in identity, feelings of self doubt, and relationship issues that inevitably arise during this period. My background and training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective and pragmatic approach to treatment of depression and anxiety. In my work with the perinatal and TTC population, I have found it helpful to utilize relational techniques to process family narratives and social influences that contribute to beliefs about what the motherhood journey should look like. I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with an emphasis on exploring values and priorities, to help clients examine whether they are living their lives in a way that honors what is most important to them. My approach is compassionate, direct, collaborative and authentic. My goal is to help clients build trust in themselves so that they can establish a greater sense of confidence in their decisions and their ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Sound familiar? I help clients looking to overcome these challenges so you can be the best version of yourself. I have over 10 years of experience in the field and primarily work with clients healing from trauma, including complex and developmental trauma. I also enjoy helping clients overcome people-pleasing tendencies, substance dependencies, anxiety and low-self worth. A session with me entails education, skills-building, and increasing insight into long-held patterns and beliefs. I aim to bring curiosity, compassion, humor and perspective into every session. I got into the field of psychotherapy due to my innate interest in human behavior; I invite clients to utilize curiosity to examine their patterns to determine if they are still serving them. At the end of treatment, my clients have a better understanding of the forces that shaped them, the tools that help them stay regulated and the boundaries they have a right to set. I’ve worked with a variety of populations including many with marginalized identities such as those experiencing homelessness and addiction. Modalities I often use in treatment include Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, CBT, mindfulness based strategies, harm reduction, and a systems approach to explore the many factors that may influence someone’s well-being. If my experience and style match what you are searching for in a therapist, please reach out. I look forward to speaking to you!

What I find to be the most important factor for change is understanding the relationship we have with ourselves. When we take the time to learn who we are and where we come from, we see our relationships in a new light. Self-acceptance allows us to navigate the world more freely. My individualized approach integrates person-centered therapy, attachment theory, developmental psychology and mindfulness. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients to uncover their personal process and what works best for them. For my clients who are interested, we can utilize creative arts therapy as a nontraditional approach to exploration and growth. I offer therapy to adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma, as well as individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their family members. Together, we will work to explore emotions, develop coping skills and define attainable goals, so that things seem more manageable. As your therapist, I will provide a safe space for self-actualization and empower you to be the agent for change. I know that life can get messy, and sometimes we need extra support. The path to the healing process begins with taking the first step. I am here to help you with that first step. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, and United/Optum Insurances.

My main goal is to help you increase your self-awareness and coping skills in order to live a more fulfilled life. I have professional experience working with a variety of different approaches, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I strive to help my clients focus on building willingness and acceptance, working towards acting on values, and focusing on better understanding and accepting their emotions. Additionally, my theoretical framework highlights the importance of utilizing a multicultural lens with an emphasis on social justice. As humans, we all must explore the lessons and messages we’ve learned from our communities and cultures, as this awareness helps us to identify the sources of our distress. Due to my training and experience, I work with clients who range from 10-65 years old with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, institutionalized racism, sexual abuse, trauma, and experience family stressors. At this moment, you may be experiencing distress, anxiety, depression and/or suffering from trauma. I honor and support your journey towards healing through therapy. I wish to value your strength and the courage that is displayed and assist you in moving forward from the confusion and pain you’re experiencing. Ultimately, I focus on ensuring that I use the approach that would be most helpful to you. I will do so by working towards helping you process your trauma experiences and guiding and supporting you to share your stories, free of shame and judgment. When we combine vulnerability, trust, and safety, we can truly heal. There is always strength and power in your story. I hope to meet you soon and explore together. I provide virtual therapy only.

Throughout the process, I will provide encouragement and at times, remind you to look back at how far you have come.

I will help you to explore where you are disconnected from yourself or from the world around you; how to notice your strengths, and increase your sense of connection, identity, and belonging. I know you might feel anxious to share your thoughts and feelings in sessions so I use patience, warmth, attunement, and empathy with a dash of playfulness to create a safe, trusting environment. Many times although we want change, it can be overwhelming to get started. I use a collaborative approach to help you identify what changes you want to make and help you figure out the best way for you to move towards those goals. As a new mother, I understand feeling unsure in aspects of a changing identity, navigating changing relationships, conflicted about how I spend my time, and like I am never doing enough. I view my work through a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and systemic lens; focusing on how life experiences and especially those with people and systems around us impact our minds, bodies, and souls as we learn and grow. We will explore the experiences and systems that have impacted you and I will help you to mindfully observe your experience in the present and practice techniques to self-soothe and regulate as needed. I completed my M.Ed in Counseling Psychology at Temple University and have experience working in community mental health, at a domestic/intimate partner violence safe haven and crisis line, and in a non-profit supporting immigrant and refugee clients as they developed their careers and social networks. I have extensive training in how trauma (such as sexual abuse, loss and abandonment, complex and early childhood trauma, and domestic and intimate partner violence) impacts people and communities including training in trauma focused CBT. In addition to using a CBT framework, I incorporate elements of DBT, mindfulness, somatic awareness, strengths-based counseling, and motivational interviewing. I enjoy helping people to manage anxiety, process and heal from traumatic experiences, build or repair relationships with themself or others, explore executive functioning such as in ADHD, navigate grief, and explore their identities. Please reach out if you think we might be a good fit to work together. I look forward to meeting you! I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

My goal as a clinician is to foster productive connections that work towards healing and improvement in personal wellbeing and agency. I always regard clients as the “experts on their lives” and treat the quality of the therapeutic relationship as the most important factor in treatment success. As a clinician with a Master’s in Social Work, I operate from a “person-in-environment” perspective, where each individual situation is considered in the context of family of origin, racial, ethnic, cultural, and spiritual identities. My areas of expertise are those who live with depression, anxiety, impulsivity, addictive or compulsive behaviors such as non-suicidal self injury, and those who are recovering from the effects of traumatic experiences and relationships. In my work in various Community Mental Health settings, I have worked with individuals, couples, children and adolescents, and families with histories of complex trauma, substance use, grief and loss, and disrupted attachments in their families of origin. I work from an eclectic perspective, using principles of attachment, humanism, Eco-Systemic Family Therapy, DBT, and CBT. I have also worked with high-risk populations who struggle with chronic suicidality and have navigated multifaceted systems of care. In my work I have facilitated the empowerment of others to live in authenticity and look forward to working with you if you decide to embark on that journey.

I bring both professional training and personal understanding to my work because I live with ADHD too. I specialize in guiding adults with ADHD from feelings of shame and self-doubt toward self-acceptance and building success that's truly sustainable. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I believe in the transformative power of genuine connection and collaboration. My approach to therapy is interactive, empathetic, and supportive. I view the therapeutic journey as a creative process we navigate together as partners. I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your challenges, needs, and goals. I deeply believe in the inherent strength within each person, and my role is to help you discover and harness that strength throughout your journey of self-discovery. In our sessions, we'll cultivate an atmosphere of acceptance and safety, working toward greater self-awareness, emotional comfort, and more fulfilling relationships. My therapeutic approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I specialize in working with ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, trauma, boundary setting, and social anxiety. Through collaboration, we'll work to improve your relationships, manage stress, regulate emotions, and explore core beliefs while honoring your neurodivergent experience. Through our work together, you'll learn to work with your brain rather than against it, building practical skills for life's challenges while pursuing healing and growth toward a more fulfilling, authentic life.

I believe we all have personal strengths and resilience to navigate those ups and downs. I primarily use a person-centered model; this model will focus on your strengths and build upon those strengths. Our work together will be goal oriented to help navigate life’s challenges. These goals will be attainable and manageable. My goal is to develop a working relationship, one where you feel empowered to achieve your goals. During our time together we will develop a toolbox to use when times are overwhelming. I will help you identify tools you may already have and develop new tools you have not used before. I have several years’ experience working with life transitions; parenting, career changes, health issues and relationships. Anxiety and depression can also present during difficult times, I will work with you to help minimize these symptoms. I specialize in grief and loss; I spent over a decade working in hospice. Past losses if not dealt with will present itself throughout life, often triggered when other losses occur. Our focus will be to learn to live with the loss, not move on or forget. You will get to the place where memories are no longer painful but cherished. Loss comes in several forms, no matter the type of loss you are experiencing I am here to listen. Throughout my career I have worked with the chronically ill, most recently focusing on neurodegenerative disease. My passion is helping to guide you during the difficult transition that occurs as you learn to manage health challenges. I am a present listener who will encourage you to voice frustrations and fears that come with chronic illness. I also love working with caregivers. Taking on the role of caring for another is an honorable yet difficult task. I will encourage self-care and talking through frustrations, challenges and difficulties you may face as a caregiver. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, including two young children. Pets are an important part of my life; I have both cats and dogs that keep me very busy. I look forward to hearing from you! I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances. I offer in-person therapy in Society Hill & Teletherapy.

One of my favorite aspects of being a mental health therapist is witnessing people realize their own resiliency, strength, and potential to manage distress or learn new skills they never thought they could. I am eager to learn about your goals and collaborate on action steps in obtaining them. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling more hopeful and capable in achieving your aspirations. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced-based psychotherapy which explores how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interrelate, thereby influencing our quality of life. I also utilize Mindfulness-Based interventions and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help with chronic conditions, grief, emotional regulation skills, and developing healthier relationships. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children in the following areas: · Depression · Managing Worry and Anxiety · Improving Self-Esteem · Substance Use and Co-occurring Disorders · Improving Social Skills · Developing Healthier Relationships (Family, Friends, Partners) · Stress Management · Trauma or Stressful Life Events · Grief and Loss · Recognizing and Managing Emotions · Social Anxiety · Social/Work-Life Balance · Independent Living Skills · Loneliness · Self-Harm · Life Transitions I have experience working with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, neurodevelopmental disabilities (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disabilities), Schizophrenia, substance use disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, managing mental health while coping with chronic physical health concerns, adjustment disorders, and trauma. Starting a working relationship with a therapist can cause some anxiety, especially if you have never received mental health services before. I encourage you to reach out if you would like to begin or continue your journey in improving your mental health! I am currently offering teletherapy for individuals of all ages.

We’ll begin building safety, connection, and shared language in the group. Week 2: Understanding Emotional Abuse Learn to identify patterns like gaslighting and self-gaslighting, and explore how these dynamics have shown up in your own life. Week 3: Trauma Responses to Abuse Explore fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and feign responses, and understand how your nervous system adapted to survive. Week 4: The Narcissist’s Voice & Staying Grounded in Real Time For many people, the dynamic is still ongoing. This week explores how its impact continues to show up in real time—through direct contact (the “itch” of frustration or the “burn” of self-doubt) and indirect lingering effects like guilt, shame, or mental replaying that persist even after distance. Using the metaphor of emotional poison ivy, we’ll focus on staying grounded in your own experience so you can move through interactions without losing yourself. Phase 2: Emotional Processing & Reclaiming Self Week 5: Complex Emotions Explore guilt, shame, anger, disgust, love, and envy, and learn how contradictory emotions can coexist. You’ll begin noticing how some emotions may feel like an “itch” or a “burn” without needing to judge or resolve them immediately. Week 6: Rebuilding Truth (DBT Skills) When your reality has been challenged, it can be hard to trust your own perceptions. This week introduces practical skills to notice and describe what’s actually happening in real time—so you can feel more grounded, clear, and confident in your understanding of your experience. Week 7: Participating in Your Life & Building Self-Trust (DBT Skill) Even when these dynamics are ongoing, it’s possible to stay connected to your own life. This week focuses on stepping out of reactive loops, engaging more fully in the present moment, and strengthening trust in yourself as you move forward. Week 8: Fear of Becoming the Abuser Explore fears of being the problem, and how narcissistic dynamics can internalize guilt and shame. This week focuses on separating learned patterns from your identity and reducing self-doubt. Phase 3: Relational Healing & Integration Week 9: Feeling Alone and Not Believed Narcissistic abuse is often invisible to others. When someone presents a different version of reality, it can leave you feeling dismissed, minimized, or even questioning yourself. This week focuses on the pain of not being believed, how the narcissist’s “mask” impacts outside perception, and building language to express your experience in a way that feels grounding and self-validating. Week 10: Freedom and Isolation Creating distance can bring a sense of peace—but also loneliness. This week explores the tension between freedom and isolation, and how narcissistic abuse can impact not just individuals, but entire systems and relationships. Week 11: Radical Acceptance When your experience hasn’t been seen or believed, it’s easy to stay stuck trying to prove, explain, or make sense of it. This week introduces radical acceptance as a way to release that ongoing struggle—not as approval of what happened, but as a way to stop being pulled back into it. We’ll focus on letting go of the need for external validation and finding a more grounded, internal sense of resolution. Week 12: Closing & Reflection This final week is a space to reflect on your growth, recognize shifts in perspective, and identify what healing still feels needed. We’ll focus on honoring your progress and supporting your next steps forward. This virtual group will be facilitated by Theo Meyer and hosted through Zoom. https://www.riverwardswellness.com/lauren-d daily 0.75 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba05bd312b13f575b686168/1635783852817-K89LTNF3CY2ONW92XLP1/lauren_dobbins_bio_pic+.jpg Lauren D. - Lauren Dobbins LPC | Licensed Professional Counselor I offer a creative and collaborative therapeutic alliance to co-create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Whether you have just been given a new diagnosis or have lived the entirety of your life with a chronic condition, processing through the emotions and impact of your condition takes strength and a lot of energy. It sometimes feels like no one else “gets'' it, no one else fully understands. This group focuses on empowering, encouraging, and processing through the dynamic challenges of living with a chronic condition. This group will serve as a safe, supportive, open space for individuals with a variety of conditions to share with and support one another. Our therapy group recognizes the importance of addressing not only the physical aspects of your condition but also the emotional and psychological toll it can take. This group is designed to help you: Share Your Journey: In this processing group, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings with others who understand what you're going through. Sharing your story can be a powerful way to release pent-up emotions and gain new perspectives. Foster Connection: Building a sense of community with individuals who share similar challenges can be incredibly empowering. You'll find understanding, empathy, and support from your fellow group members as you navigate the ups and downs of life with chronic illness/disability. Learn Coping Strategies: Our group sessions will focus on developing effective coping strategies and resilience. You'll gain valuable insights into managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional responses commonly associated with chronic conditions. Empowerment: As you engage in open and honest discussions, you'll discover your inner strength and resilience. This group is a platform for personal growth and encouragement. This group is open to any individual who identifies as having a chronic condition (illness, pain, disability, etc.). You don't have to navigate the complexities of chronic illness or disability alone. Together, we can find strength in solidarity and build a community of resilience. Please reach out with any questions or to inquire about additional details. Please note: Insurance (Aetna, Cigna, & Highmark) and private pay ($65) are both accepted for this group.

That is no small step as starting therapy can sometimes be an intimidating prospect, yet here you are shopping around to take the leap. I am ready, willing and able to be the parachute to that leap in offering a safe and supportive presence and environment to delve into all aspects of you and your relationships. My training as a Couple & Family Therapist allows me to think systemically with you about the ways the micro and the macro influence your life and relationships. At the same time, my intentions are to empower you in shifting some of those seemingly fixed narratives by leaning into both the parts of yourself playing a role in subsisting identified problematic dynamics and the parts longing for change. I feel passionately about helping people of all backgrounds, being a consistent place of empathy and warmth, and operating as a motivator for growth and deeper understanding of self. In order to do this, I bring my whole, authentic self into the therapy room while maintaining professionalism and respect for clientele of all social locations. I intend for therapy to be a client-centered, collaborative process unique to whatever you bring to the room, and I look forward to the opportunity to explore that together. Please reach out if you feel we may be a good fit!

Welcome to my bio and congratulations on making this powerful step in obtaining your personal goals. I hope that my bio can answer the question “will I connect with this therapist?”. You are ultimately the expert of your journey and my expectation is to be a collaborative support through your growth. Coming from a two culture household, I’ve been fascinated by how we have multi-cultural conversations. These conversations make our identity multifaceted and full of nuances. Ultimately our identities are influenced by our many relationships. These relationships can be defined by many aspects; our family of origin, our chosen family, and our outside communities. When culture clashes it can create a lot of hard feelings. That clash can feel shaming and demoralizing. Sometimes, how we self-identify becomes disrupted and hard to recognize. A disconnection from ourselves and others can occur in that process of change. Through a collaborative approach, I offer support in reconnecting to what feels lost or unresolved while honoring individual contextual and cultural factors. I use trauma-informed techniques from contextual-therapy, narrative-therapy and attachment-based therapy. I want to help people find their identity as an individual, a family, and as a couple. I continue to grow my practice to fit the needs of my client and will continue to be open to feedback throughout our therapeutic relationship.

Specializing in Couples Therapy, Sex Therapy, Yoga Therapy and Mindfulness, LGBTQIA+, Poly/Kink/Non-Monogamous, Complex Trauma, Life Transitions It is human nature to try and create understanding of the situations we experience, for once we understand what the experience is, what we feel and why we feel it, we can begin to take back our control. I believe that it is from this space that we can then begin to heal; to create necessary change and grow. As a therapist, it is my goal to help move you through the power of “why?” so that you may gain understanding, take back your control, and heal. I work with individuals and couples. My approach to therapy is warm and compassionate, utilizing somatic- and mindfulness-based interventions and the therapeutic relationship as vehicles for healing. I also rely on humor, honesty, and open feedback in our work together. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified sex therapy-informed practitioner (CSTIP) with over a decade of experience working with young adults and adults. In addition to my clinical training, I am a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), a mindfulness meditation teacher, a certified Usui Reiki Level I practitioner, and I have certification in somatic-based trauma treatment and trauma sensitive yoga. I use these complementary and alternative therapies to aid and enhance your self-discovery and healing. I offer therapy to people looking to gain insight with complex trauma, sexuality and gender (kink/BDSM, poly and ethical nonmonogamous/CNM relationships, LGBTQIA+), anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and difficulty navigating life transitions. I also have specialized experience working with artists and creatives. I welcome and celebrate diverse racial and cultural backgrounds, those living alternative lifestyles, and people with disabilities.

The long-term social and emotional implications of this can make it difficult to safely explore and develop an identity that feels true to who you are. Unfortunately, shame and guilt are often at the center of this self-discovery journey. My goal is to encourage self-compassion and help resolve the inner conflicts you may have about yourself and the world. I provide therapy to adults of all backgrounds who are experiencing: ADHD, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, life transitions, bicultural/multicultural identity, codependency, and mood disorders. I often work with clients on assertive communication, boundary setting in relationships, as well as addressing people-pleasing tendencies. Together, we can identify the unhelpful patterns that have become barriers in your life and develop a healthier, kinder perspective of yourself. My hope is to normalize mental health conversations and to assist in developing a safe space for individuals to explore their identity, without judgement and full of empathy. My approach is eclectic with aspects of Psychodynamic Theory, but it is mostly person-centered because I believe in the power that the therapeutic relationship has on personal growth. Additionally, I have received training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), attachment theory, and CT (Cognitive Therapy). I believe that people have the capacity to change, if they are willing. Seeing that you’ve taken the first step to search for therapists, you’ve already done the hardest part!

A little bit about my professional background and my approach, I am a systematically trained Licensed Marriage and Family therapist who enjoys working with a variety of clients with a diverse range of concerns. I will be your biggest and loudest cheerleader while respectfully holding you accountable in making changes. I am passionate about relational issues, family dynamics, reproductive health and substance abuse.Some other areas of interest include but are not limited to: depression, anxiety, recovery, trauma, grief, life transitions, ADHD, parenting and self-esteem. As a standard practice, my approach combines solution focused, person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral and trauma informed. My counseling style is engaging and person-first. I am pragmatic and direct while being compassionate and understanding. It is important to me to be able to collaborate with you and meet you where you are at each interaction by incorporating different therapeutic techniques. Identifying and setting your goals is a team-effort, and together we will work at your comfort level to effectively establish and achieve goals that are tailored to your life while developing healthy skills that encourage self-discovery. I will assist you in managing your emotions, building self-confidence, setting boundaries and overall living a healthier lifestyle. When I am not working I am enjoying time with family and friends. I love being social and I live a relatively fast-paced but manageable life. I disconnect and ground myself while cycling, reading, sitting on a beach or enjoying a cup of coffee. It takes a lot of strength and will power to seek counseling and I understand how vulnerable and overwhelming you may feel. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you via telehealth or in-person in Cherry Hill, NJ. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

I grew up often feeling like my emotional needs were too much and I took up too much space. I was praised for being self-aware while not knowing how to navigate the world with emotional awareness. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship to allow for authenticity and empathy. I want to help people who may feel stuck in spirals and cycles of unwanted thoughts and behaviors. I want to help people who may feel stuck with traditional, talk-therapy techniques. I utilize somatic practices to help individuals take it that step further to explore how to proceed with insights and how current, unwanted emotions or behaviors may be benefiting and protecting you. I aim to help people increase mindfulness through bottom up processing to get in touch with their bodies. My intention is to provide a space to help model that you are not too much, and how being your authentic self in a safe context can be liberating. My approach to treatment is collaborative and trauma informed. I focus on mindfulness, increasing insight and empowerment. My areas of specialty include trauma, depression, anxiety, body image, PTSD / CPTSD, suicidal thoughts and urges. I practice using aspects from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) using a person - centered and narrative approach. By connecting with your body and exploring the intricate relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can work together to promote lasting change and growth. I believe that by gaining insight and learning about the relationships we hold with ourselves and those we interact with, we gain a sense of understanding, confidence and security. I prioritize holding a LBGTQIA + affirming space. I want to meet people wherever they are in their own mental health journey. I am accepting adults and adolescents for individual sessions. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances. I facilitate a DBT Skills Group.

It takes courage to start the journey of therapy. I believe in building that relationship by helping people at their pace in a comfortable and respectful way. I hope to provide the space to safely explore emotions and past experiences together to ultimately achieve the goals we have set in mind. My approach to therapy is to be warm and trauma-informed; while remaining flexible and eclectic. My experience derives from my psychoanalytical program at Chestnut Hill as well as my current practicing of EMDR and other trauma-informed methods. My bachelor’s degree in Neuroscience also boosts my understanding of how our experiences affect our physical bodies. Informally, I take a personal interest in learning and working with Attachment Styles, CBT, ACT, ERP, and DBT based skills. I know that regardless of technique, it is important to have an open, honest relationship with the client. Being able to understand creates the foundation of trust, which is what really allows both therapy and the self to flourish and blossom.

Everything else - it’s just the weather.” Sometimes life is challenging: situationally, emotionally, spiritually. Sometimes you can pinpoint the issue; while other times it may be hard to identify, and even more difficult to understand your thoughts, feelings, & everything that comes with them. I believe as a clinician, it is so important to encourage people to feel their feelings with self-compassion. One of my favorite things to do in therapy is to work with clients to mindfully deal with these difficult emotions - to ride the wave and not let it consume you. My approach to therapy is empowering, understanding, and direct. I love to encourage and challenge my clients, while meeting them where they are and allowing them to lead me where they want to go. Most importantly, I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to any type of therapy. As a therapist, you could have the best interventions and say the most insightful things, but without having a connection with your client, none of that matters. Creating a safe, authentic, and collaborative space where you can express yourself without judgement is my goal. As a couples therapist, I love to work with clients to explore expectations, patterns, and triggers within their relationships. Ultimately, my goal is to facilitate a connection, communication, and increased understanding between you and your partner. I primarily work with individuals and couples experiencing life stressors/transitions, relationship issues/trauma, self-critical thinking, low self-esteem, and anxiety.

I have sat on both sides of the therapy chair, and I understand that it takes courage and vulnerability just to get yourself there. Sometimes emotions have a way of taking over. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or everyday stressors of life, therapy can help guide you to turn inward, in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. With a background in trauma, I believe that emotions stay and live within the body; therefore, it is important to allow oneself to pause and feel the emotion. In therapy, I will work hard to create a safe space to allow the client to be their most authentic self. My approach to therapy is a collaborative process, to help guide you to feel empowered and unlock the best version of yourself. With a collaborative approach, I focus on identifying the unconscious thought and behavior patterns that are shaped in childhood. These patterns are what drive the emotions and actions in our everyday lives. Utilizing unconditional positive regard, honesty, empathy, and humor in session, I will meet the client where they are in a holistic way. Modalities I often include are, Person Centered Therapy, Trauma Focused – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalytic, psychoeducation and mindfulness practices. I enjoy guiding people to become more conscious of harmful behaviors/thoughts, improve on creating boundaries, communication skills, sitting in the discomfort of an emotion, and to utilize the strengths you bring to the table already. I primarily work with people experiencing trauma symptoms, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and low-self-esteem. I have also worked very closely with individuals in the LGBTQIA community.

Therapy with me a place where we identify and reduce barriers on your path, while we lean into your strengths and goals to process experiences and build capacity and skills. Initially trained as a trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral therapist, I have expanded and shifted my work to integrate emotions-focused modalities and relational and systems approaches. This multi-dimensional method allows us to fully understand your experience and more precisely meet your needs as you pursue the change you’d like to make. I am also trained and certified in exposure and response prevention (ERP) for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and am currently pursuing more extensive training in this area to address other presentations on the OCD spectrum. If you’re interested in working together to address OCD, treatment with ERP will effectively structure our sessions and the time between to help develop new critical learning and eliminate compulsions. My approach is strongly client-centered, utilizing evidence-based interventions that enhance empowerment, learning, and expanded perspectives that lead to tangible positive change in the spirit of collaboration, compassion, and curiosity. Together these elements reduce barriers to wellness while offering effective pathways toward sustainable improvement. I specialize in strengths-based counseling, motivation building toward goals that are important to you, and a mindfulness method adapted to meet you where you are. Specialty Areas: Anxiety disorders with special focus on GAD and OCD, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, emotion processing and regulation.

My approach to therapy is primarily influenced on individual client needs which means meeting you where you are at in your journey. We will explore past situations, environmental factors, and internal experiences that show up in your daily life. Together, we will create an individualized treatment with my knowledge of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The human existence is something I am deeply interested in and I bring to the therapeutic environment a curious and accepting mind that helps us understand and embrace what makes you uniquely you. As a trauma-informed counselor, I am happy to provide the opportunity to explore the ways your life experiences have impacted your mind, body, and spirit. Taking a mindfulness approach to trauma, I aim to reconnect you with the present by utilizing mind and body interventions while creating a safe space to explore the past. I primarily work with individuals’ ages 15+ and I specialize in working with trauma survivors, relationship issues, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and LGBTQ+ populations.

Are you struggling to connect and feel stuck? It would be an honor to be a part of your healing journey to explore the intersectionality of various identities (gender, race, sexuality, etc.) and uncover how that may play a role in your personhood. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work with a passion to encourage and empower the potential that others see in themselves. I believe that everyone is inherently valuable and should be treated with dignity and respect. I have experience working with folx from many walks of life including addiction, depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship issues, and grief. I work from the mindset of listening first and then posing thoughtful questions to aid in gaining insight and understanding. Building trust is critical to the therapeutic relationship; I am ready to walk alongside you in whatever season you may be in as long as you'll have me. You are very brave for taking the first step.

They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain.” — Matt Haig You deserve to feel heard and seen. You are worthy of having a compassionate and accepting environment where you can feel empowered to change, grow, and evolve. Therapy is a partnership, and my role in your wellness journey is to help you develop into the best version of yourself, by overcoming stressors, shifting perspectives, and fostering resilience. I strive to understand your subjective experience and cultural systems through collaboration and individualized goals. I have my M.S. degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Chester University, and have experience working with a diverse range of individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, transitional stress, and relationship difficulties. I am passionate about providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for young adults and adults to restore peace, balance, and wellbeing. My work with clients is a mindfulness and strengths-based approach woven together with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we will increase awareness into how your thoughts, perceptions, and actions influence the way you feel emotionally, along with uncovering patterns to reduce future suffering. We will focus on increasing self-compassion, exploring values, and harnessing existing strengths to develop a greater ability to navigate life’s challenges and live a meaningful life. Inner peace and lasting positive change are on your horizon. Your journey toward wellness is worthy of celebration! It is my pleasure to walk alongside you on your self-discovery toward growth, healing, and resilience. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, United/Optum, & IBX Insurances.

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that every person has the strength and resilience within them to overcome challenges and create change in their lives. By exploring the stories we tell ourselves and others about our experiences, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationships. Through this process we can create new narratives that empower us to live more fulfilling lives. I am a systemically-trained therapist with a gentle but authentic and down-to-earth style. I draw most from Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). It is essential, to me, to have an anti-capitalist lens and consider how systemic oppression interacts with clients' identities and experiences. I have experience and interest in working with couples/relationships, individuals, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, trauma, neurodivergence, and the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we will co-create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be your true self, explore your experiences, and achieve your goals. If you are ready to embark on a therapy journey, I would be honored to support you on your path! Feel free to reach out and let's connect to explore if we are a good fit. A profile alone cannot fully convey myself as a therapist and an individual!

There is no “wrong” time or reason to reach out for help; we all begin our journeys at different points in our lives and for different reasons. Whether you need help navigating a difficult period in your life, want to learn more about yourself and your relationships, or are looking to make some type of change, I am honored and excited to work with you. I believe that the most important quality in a therapist is their ability to listen, and I strive to create a space in which you feel seen, accepted, celebrated, and safe. I use a collaborative, person-centered approach that incorporates narrative therapy, somatic (body-focused) techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR. I operate under the assumption that you are the expert in your own life – my role is to work with you to explore your goals and how we can reach them together. I work with both individuals and couples (age 18+) and primarily work with anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, sexual dysfunction, and gender and sexuality exploration. While sessions will look different depending on your specific goals, I love working with clients to explore and strengthen their mind-body connection to re-establish a sense of safety in their body, developing and practicing new problem-solving skills and coping strategies, and examining how we interpret situations to make meaning in our lives. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy; I’m always happy to tweak my style to better suit your needs, and we’ll work together to figure out what works best for you. ** Outside of the counseling room, I’m a lover of both live music and yoga. I like to spend my free time listening to podcasts, trying new recipes, and trying to keep my cats from eating my houseplants. I use both she/her and they/them pronouns.

We inevitably encounter ups and downs throughout our lives and navigating adversity can be challenging. I believe we all have the courage to explore our inner worlds with the ultimate goal of reaching our full potential. Trust is so important in therapy, which is why I prioritize building a strong therapeutic connection that is free of judgment. I utilize an integrated approach to therapy that is primarily influenced by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also trained in delivering Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to address and reduce symptoms of OCD and have extensive experience working with adolescents in a school setting. Together, we will examine your world - thoughts, behaviors, emotions - and how they contribute to your current experiences. Whatever your goals may be, I am here to assist in gaining insight, building resilience, and learning necessary skills to improve your day-to-day life. I’m excited to see if we are a good fit for therapy. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults in both school and private practice environments. I encourage you to reach out if you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD or OCD and if you’re having difficulty withlife transitions includingnavigating relationships, balancing responsibilities, or general life stress.

My name is Kathleen, but please call me Katie! It takes a lot of strength and will power to seek counseling and I understand how vulnerable and overwhelming you may feel. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and warmth. My counseling style is engaging and person-first. It is important to me to be able to collaborate with you and meet you where you are at in each interaction by incorporating different therapeutic techniques. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, person-centered, trauma informed, and solution focused. Identifying and setting your goals is a team-effort, and together we will work at your comfort level to effectively establish and achieve goals that are tailored to your life while developing healthy skills that encouraging self-discovery. I have a Master’s Degree in Professional Clinical Counseling from LaSalle University. I also hold credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2015. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns; including depression anxiety, substance use disorders, trauma, grief, life transitions, infertility, pregnancy loss, and more. As a standard practice, I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors and influence. Outside of my career, I enjoy being outdoors. I enjoy taking walks along trails and parks. I've played sports for as long as I can remember and currently play softball on weekends. As a full time employee and a mom of two youngsters, I understand the challenges of maintaining a healthy balance in life! I strongly advocate the concept of self-care and finding an overall balance in one's life to strive for healthier lifestyles! Additional areas of focus: Grief, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Substance Use Disorder; Mood Disorder; Anxiety; Depression; Trauma; Life Adjustment Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? I strive to make the therapeutic interaction as a "team-effort." I am in this journey with you and together we will address the goals that you are wanting to achieve. With each session, I encourage one to identify a goal (or more) that they would like to work on in between sessions. There are times where I may provide additional resources such as an article to read or a homework assignment, to discuss for the next session. What treatment methods and tools do you utilize? My approach combines and incorporates a variety of techniques that are evidence-based. I find myself utilizing cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, person centered, trauma informed, and solution focused. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

Despite this predicament, I believe therapy can help shed the feeling of a constricted life and achieve an authentic and empowered sense of self. Through a collaborative and compassion-centered approach, I aim to help hold in a non-judgmental space the challenging parts of life and encourage next steps in your journey. The modalities I use most often are EMDR and trauma-informed mindfulness combined with concepts and methods from CBT, DBT and MI while applying lenses such as attachment, familial, cultural, generational and that of global systems. I match those working with grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity or relationships challenges, those who might identify with bipolar, ADHD or OCD tendencies, and those suffering from addiction or out-of-control behavior. I provide gender-affirming care and aim to support LGBTQ folx. I welcome conversation when relevant around most topics including sex, culture, politics, justice, religion and the environment. In my off-time, I enjoy spending time with my parents, siblings and their families. I live in West Chester and often walk or run the town or the surrounding nature. I play and work on music, belong to a sketch club and love the arts. I practice and teach meditation and yoga poses as well as had a previous career in technology as a software engineer.

In our therapeutic work together, it would be my privilege to walk alongside you, offering support as you navigate life's challenges. Together, we’ll embrace vulnerability as a pathway to building strength, and use courage to confront obstacles. About Me: I am a therapist rooted in the foundational principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), meaning my training focused on the intertwining of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach to therapy is enriched by a blend of various modalities, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I utilize an person-centered relational lens to support clients in navigating their present circumstances while considering their past experiences. My approach is individualized to support the specific needs of each client. During our time together, it is my hope that you feel empowered to explore your roots, present experiences, and future goals and hopes. Specialization: I bring a wealth of experience supporting clients as they consider identity formation/exploration, life transitions, and relationship dynamics, as well as those impacted by anxiety, depression, body image concerns, ADHD, Autism, OCD, trauma, and/ those who are a part of the foster care/adoption community. While I do not work with couples, I have worked extensively with individuals who are hoping to improve their relationships with others by enhancing interpersonal communication skills such as conflict resolution and assertive communication. I have been able to assist clients with navigating new relationships and relationship changes (such as divorce or separation), processing through infidelity, and navigating child/caregiver and adult child/parent relationships. I will often address relational issues through an attachment lens, and process the impact that attachment styles have on clients’ interactions and behaviors in relationships. I especially enjoy supporting clients through infertility and the perinatal period, as well as supporting them through parenthood. I am also passionate about supporting individuals living with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Having walked a similar path, I deeply understand the intricacies of such experiences. I bring not only professional expertise but also a deep well of empathy. Together, we will navigate the intricacies of your struggles with compassion and understanding. Flexibility: I meet with clients virtually via teletherapy and on either a consistent or variable schedule, based on each client’s needs. I invite you to take this courageous step toward healing and growth. Together, we will journey along a path that celebrates your strengths, honors your experiences, navigates your challenges, and empowers you to embrace wellness in a meaningful way.

Maybe you have been in therapy for years, maybe this is your first time. Whatever the reason or your experience, I am glad that you are here. This world is hard: systems are oppressive, relationships and communities are complex and our individual survival strategies within all these dynamics are incredibly varied. Every person’s life, experiences and circumstances form a different set of needs and for that reason in our work together we will draw from many different clinical modalities. Therapy can be a brave space that we build to reflect on what is happening for you, to process the road that led you here and to set in place obtainable, sustainable response strategies. To do so, we will incorporate a blend of somatic and psychodynamic therapies to unpack current, historical and intergenerational traumas. I have a background in grassroots community organizing, particularly within the LGBTQIA+ communities and for housing justice. I have conducted low or no cost community workshops about abuse in relationships, harm reduction and skill sharing. My social justice orientation and desire for individual, community and collective liberation are a part of how I will show up for you in therapy. I recognize that for some sharing their lives and traumas is an enthusiastic endeavor and for others it is required by their circumstance and can feel unfamiliar and challenging. It is my responsibility to meet you where you are, warmly and with humor and curiosity, holding space for you and working collaboratively to create pathways for your holistic needs.

I make it my number one goal to welcome my clients with warmth, non-judgment, openness, and empathy, and spend the time necessary co-creating a therapeutic space that most benefits and supports the individual. I deeply believe in one’s right to self-determination, that each individual is the expert in their own life, and that we are all deserving of a space to feel heard, emotionally held, and supported in our mental health journey. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients in order to define treatment goals and the steps that will be taken in order to achieve those goals. So, welcome! My name is Alissa Zrein. As a therapist, I aim to foster a safe and authentic space where my clients are able to openly process their thoughts, emotions, struggles, and behaviors without judgment. I greatly enjoy supporting the process of self-exploration, delving into one’s past as a means to better understand their present, and celebrating and empowering the strength and resilience of my clients. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and strengths based, utilizing a blend of techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy (SFT), and mindfulness. I also weave in tenants from attachment theory, systems theory, trauma-informed practice, and motivational interviewing when appropriate. I believe in catering treatment to fit each individual and their unique needs, and not the other way around. As a queer social worker, I strive to create a safe and affirming space for folx within the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as am passionate about providing culturally sensitive and responsive care to every individual, especially to those with marginalized identities. I look forward to supporting you in your healing journey!

My intention with therapy is to walk with you through those moments so we can work on finding those moments of joy, whether that be with you or alongside your relationship. My approach to therapy is collaborative and eclectic, with trauma-informed care at the foundation of my work. I believe that some of the best growth in therapy comes from a supportive working relationship, which is what my clients can expect from me. I will work with you or your relationship to co-construct goals to guide your time in therapy. My integrative approach involves strengths-based, holistic approaches, polyvagal theory, and narrative therapy to help us gain and develop more insight into our emotions and experiences of situations within the world and our relationships. In my work with relationships, my approach consists of systematic and emotional family therapy, meaning I believe it's important to understand how every person within a relationship influences the other members, the role of emotions within these transactions, and how these interactions are contributing to your presenting concerns. I also have experience and training in working with dyads as well as polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. These approaches and theories can get confusing when looking for a therapist; at the root of these approaches is an overall goal to work with you to learn what you envision for your time in therapy, and how we can work together to make this a collaborative and enriching experience for you. I offer both in-person therapy in Fishtown and teletherapy for individuals seeking help, and in-person for individuals and relationships. I accept Aetna & Cigna Insurances.

As your advocate and partner, I will actively support you as you learn to work through challenges more effectively, and improve your overall sense of well-being.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, utilizing a holistic view based on your individual needs. Treatment modalities that I often utilize in therapy include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, Psychoanalytic and psychoeducation practices. With this approach, we will examine how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are connected, and how these patterns have been shaped or changed over time. In therapy, my goal is to provide a warm and safe environment for you to be able to feel comfortable and be your most authentic self. I hope to create a positive therapeutic relationship through honesty, open communication, empathy, and humor in session. Together, we will create individualized goals that utilize your strengths and build upon your skills. I am offering in person (West Chester) and telehealth sessions.

Therapy works best if we can build a safe and trusting relationship where challenges can be explored. So! You should know a little bit about who I am as a person and as a therapist. 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 being in nature. I am devoted to dismantling oppression everywhere, including the dynamics of power that can exist in therapy space. I will attend to elements of race, class, gender, and sexuality throughout our work together. I orient toward decolonization, transformative justice, and intersectional feminism, and I continue to learn from models of care offered by disability justice activists. I am sex-positive, trans-affirming, polyamory and kink-informed, and body neutral/Health at Every Size-aligned. What I Do I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my job is to foster a therapeutic space that feels right to you, a space that is safe, affirming, and deeply collaborative. My hope is that our work together will support you in finding more clarity about who you are and where you’re going in life. You might discover a more liberated sense of your desires and boundaries, more softness and ease, greater capacity to confront life’s challenges, and the ability to form deeper relationships with those around you. I will always support your autonomy–If certain therapy tools don’t work for you, I am happy to toss them out. That said, I do tend to draw from certain approaches and frameworks in my therapeutic work. For example, I am a systemic therapist which means that I take care to explore the context that you exist in, that this context matters, and the world around you may offer many insights in our work together. Because your environment likely includes various systems of oppression, I use an intersectional and liberation-focused lens to work through trauma and hurt that may exist for you as a result of marginalization and generational trauma. My training as an experiential trauma therapist taught me the importance of involving the body in the healing process, that you don’t simply have a body, you are a body. Our bodies hold onto stress and pain especially as a result of traumatic experiences. This may be stored as tension or an inability to relax, as compulsive movements, as numbness and dissociation from bodily sensations. I utilize EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to involve the mind and body experientially. EMDR relies on moment-to-moment grounding in the body to reprocess traumatic material, attending to the manifestations of trauma throughout the body. IFS recognizes that there are many subpersonalities or parts that make up who you are, each with their own stories, sensations, and job to do. There are no “bad” parts, and parts work involves getting to know these different parts, recognizing that every part has good intentions even if they get “stuck” doing something you’d rather they didn’t do. I also pull from mindfulness practices, Psychodrama, and Somatic Experiencing to help you release what no longer serves and to invite ease into the nervous system. From this place, we can access the wisdom and strength of the body to heal and transform pain, and to feel into our pleasure and boundaries with greater curiosity and courage. The process of unraveling and understanding our personal stories looks different for everyone. Healing work can be messy and grief-filled, and it can also be empowering, liberatory, and profoundly life-giving.This is the work, and I am honored to walk the path with you.

In my approach, I incorporate collaboration, introspection, humor, and creativity to empower my clients to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives. In my practice, I integrate principles from family systems therapy, attachment theory, and psychodynamic practices to tailor therapeutic interventions that address the unique needs of each client. I believe in the interconnectedness of individuals within their familial, social, and cultural contexts, emphasizing the importance of understanding how these systems influence one’s psychological well-being. Specialization and Experience: I work with clients of all ages, from children to older adults, addressing a wide range of issues and themes such as: Individual concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity development Relationship issues including communication difficulties, conflict resolution, trust and intimacy, and roles and responsibilities Family dynamics such as parenting challenges, intergenerational conflicts, and transitions Intercultural, interracial, and interreligious relationships and families, including families impacted by immigration Identity development, emotions, and neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, etc.) Parent-child relationships Personal care tasks and caregiving I understand the significance of religious and spiritual beliefs in shaping individuals’ identities, relationships, sense of self and purpose, and coping mechanisms. In my practice, I respect and integrate discussions about faith and spirituality when needed, recognizing their impact on mental health and well-being. I am passionate about nurturing and strengthening family and friend relationships within my therapeutic practice. I believe in the transformative power of relational connections and am dedicated to empowering my clients to cultivate and nurture these vital relationships in their lives. I include therapeutic techniques such as family genograms and psychodynamic exploration to encourage exploration of family patterns and dynamics. I understand the importance of being present and engaged in service, meaningful work, and relationships. I help my clients develop approaches to mindfulness, communication, and self-care to manage stress, enhance focus, and cultivate a greater sense of presence in their daily lives. By nurturing a deeper connection to themselves and others, my clients are empowered to approach their service, work, and relationships with intentionality, authenticity, and purpose. I am dedicated to ongoing professional development, staying abreast of the latest research, and cultivating a practice that is culturally competent, anti-racist, anti-ableist, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

Some other areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD and self-esteem issues. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and EMDR interventions while maintaining a mind-body-spirit therapist standpoint. In our sessions, I apply a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to create a safe, comfortable space for you to practice self-exploration and achieve better wellness. One of my strategies is to match and adapt therapeutic skills with each person independently. We work together to learn, personalize, and apply these skills to the stressors that brought you to therapy. My favorite part about working in the field is establishing rapport and building a connection with clients to help you feel supported learning to become your own therapist. I have experience working with adults of all ages in outpatient and higher level of care settings. I am available for teletherapy.

I am a queer clinician passionate about creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your identity, navigate coming out, and feel deeply seen in your queer experience. Supporting the LGBTQ+ community isn’t just part of my work; it’s at the heart of why I became a therapist. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, and I specialize in supporting neurodivergent people, including those with autism and ADHD. My goal is to help you build practical skills to navigate a world that often isn’t designed with your needs in mind, while also creating space to process the frustration, grief, and emotional complexity that can come with that. I believe that building trust, safety, and connection is essential to the therapeutic process. I strive to make therapy approachable, collaborative, and grounded in your everyday life. Some days we dive deep; other days, we just focus on getting through the week. I tailor each session to meet you where you are. I also believe that therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Humor, joy, and moments of lightness can be just as healing as working through the tough stuff. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with a focus on mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existentialism, and feminist therapy into my work. Additionally, I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma treatment that helps target and heal the roots of distressing memories. At the core of my work is the belief that change happens when we feel accepted for who we are and reconnect with our core values and selves. My approach is trauma-informed, emotion-focused, and person-centered, rooted in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. Whether you're exploring your identity, managing anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, or seeking support as a neurodivergent person, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll face challenges, develop meaningful coping tools, and celebrate your wins, big and small. Areas of Focus: LGBTQIA+, DBT, CBT, EMDR, Neurodiversity, Identity Exploration I facilitate a body image group called Embodiment. Accepting Aetna, Cigna, Quest, & IBX Insurances.

At the heart of my work is building a genuine, trusting connection with you—because real healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, understood, and accepted. Together, we’ll create a warm and welcoming space where vulnerability is embraced and self-exploration feels comfortable. Above all, I’m here to hold space for you with kindness and openness, honoring your unique needs, passions, experiences, wisdom, and hopes for the future. Specializations I’m especially passionate about supporting adults who grew up with caregivers who, for various reasons, may not have met their emotional needs.Together, we work to heal from those early experiences, find your true voice, clarify what matters most to you, and create a life that feels authentic, grounded, and free. I work with clients ages 15 and up to navigate challenges related to: Childhood relational trauma, emotionally immature parents, & unmet emotional needs Relationship patterns, boundaries, people-pleasing, & guilt Exploring identity, values, & personal growth Identity diffusion & enmeshment Shame, self-doubt, & indecisiveness Life transitions & emerging adulthood Grief & loss Anxiety, depression, & low self-worth Emotional regulation & distress tolerance Could We be a Good Fit? Clients who tend to do well with me often appreciate a little lightheartedness or humor during our sessions and enjoy putting what we talk about into practice between meetings—sometimes through small homework or weekly goals. Many have found it helpful to bring their creative interests into our work, which helps us build a space where you can feel safe, inspired, and free to be your authentic self. I’ve also noticed that adolescents, young adults, and college students often feel especially comfortable and connected in our time together. Therapeutic Approaches My approach to therapy is primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with curiosity and work toward making the changes you’d like to see in yourself. For those who resonate with this approach, I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support compassionate exploration of your inner parts. I also use a person-centered and trauma-informed lens, honoring the impact of your life experiences and creating a space where all parts of you are welcome. While CBT and IFS are my go-to methods, I like to keep things flexible, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to tailor our work to what feels right for you. My hope is that you find a space in therapy that feels human, welcoming, and uniquely yours. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect and explore how we can work together in a way that supports your growth.

Eating Disorders, Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression. Offering in-person therapy in Society Hill, and Telehealth therapy. “Hopefulness lies in knowing that while early experiences shape the nervous system, ongoing experiences can reshape it” - Deb Dana I fully believe that every human has done and is doing the best they can with the tools they have or were given. Whether the tools are effective or ineffective, they are often what was learned, interpreted and stored in the body and mind. Thankfully, the body and brain are malleable, and able to change. Together, we will work to re-align with your needs, and core-values; change any interpretations to an unhelpful narrative; and build regulation tools, to cultivate a new path forward. There is hope and I am so honored to join you on this next part of your journey. I approach therapy through a trauma informed lens. My intention is to create a safe space as an empathetic witness and collaborative partner in your therapeutic journey. I will bring in authenticity, laughter, presence, hope, and intentional moments of silence. My goal is to support you in finding and trusting your inner voice, embrace your worthiness and strength, experience safety in using your body as a resource, and reinforce your internal sense of self-agency. My areas of focus are; Trauma informed care, LGBTQIA-affirming, harm reduction, DBT, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, substance recovery, PTSD/CPTSD, embodiment and somatic work. Approaches I most often use; Health at Every Size®, I endorse Intuitive Eating, body neutrality, radical acceptance, and body liberation; DBT, Somatic, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Trauma Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have previous experience in social work providing housing-first and strength-based care. In addition, I have experience providing individual, group, and family therapy in different settings such as a psychiatric inpatient hospital for adolescents, an eating disorder residential treatment center, and a Comprehensive DBT-focused outpatient practice.

I understand that most of the time we come to therapy with a focus in mind, but can also allow that focus to grow and change. I value taking the time to build a strong relationship with my clients that supports them in feeling like they are a leader in their own treatment. My therapeutic approach is to support my clients with the goals they want to set for themselves. I hold space for client led sessions, as well as serving as a guide to support you to achieving your goals.

Learning from both clients and other therapists have helped me grow and is something I always welcome into my therapy space. About me: I grew up surrounded by ethnic, gender, and religious diversity.

I have clinical experience with adolescents and adults, and am well-versed in working with people experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, psychosis, personality disorders, grief, life transitions, relationship and communication challenges, problematic substance use, existential dread, and the stressors of everyday life in this society. I believe that life includes suffering, and that it’s important to accept this reality while also finding healing, meaning, connection, and pleasure. My therapeutic style is client-centered and trauma-informed, and I think of therapy as a mutual process of exploration and meaning-making, rather than something the therapist “does to you.” You can expect me to be warm, humorous, compassionate, and challenging. You will be supported to develop greater self-awareness, while taking skillful action to bring about change. I use a wide range of treatment modalities depending on each client’s preferences and treatment needs, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, and mindfulness and self-compassion practices. I have specialized training and experience in treating trauma and PTSD. I work well with people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds, and believe it is essential to incorporate clients’ cultural, spiritual, and artistic practices into the therapeutic process. As a queer person with a multi-racial, multi-faith background, I provide affirming care to members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals navigating questions of identity, marginalization, and internalized oppression. I look forward to giving you my full attention and energy. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

This group is a closed group that is separated into 3 phases. During the first phase, we will explore individual narratives to “body image,” as well as the differences between body positivity, body neutrality, body compassion, and liberation. We will explore barriers to embodiment including socio-economic status, fear, genetics, internalized shame, societal myths/beliefs, stigmas, trauma, consistent invalidation, sports, chronic health issues, religion, not identifying with your body, etc. In the 2nd Phase, we will practice building safety in vulnerability and using our bodies as a resource to move away from disconnection, fear, body hate, and control. We will unpack cognitive distortions, learn skills in emotion regulation, and explore mindfulness & embodiment practices as ways to move towards connection. Using a Health At Every Size (HAES) Framework, we will explore de-coupling our self worth from size and feeling liberated from oppressive systems to truly live in your body. In Phase 3, we will revisit our barriers from Phase 1 and utilize ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) to bring individualized values into creating new narratives about body image. There will be celebration and connection with one another. This group accepts Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United / Optum, Quest, IBX, & Private Pay. The private pay rate is $65/session.

I focus on empathy, grounding, and a bit of humor as we work together to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. In the therapy room, I go at the pace you feel comfortable moving. Whether you’re going a mile a minute and can’t focus on any one task, finding it difficult to get out of bed, or in an in-between place where everything feels sort of “stuck,” my aim is to sit with you and be present. Together, we can begin to figure out a path forward. I strive to practice in ways that are intentionally mindful, trauma-informed and culturally aware, taking each individual within their broader context. It is an honor to walk alongside you on this journey, as we explore how to live boldly and authentically. I love a good evidence-based framework that still leaves room for play and personhood. I practice Adlerian and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which means together we’ll work to uncover what you value, what’s important to you and how you define yourself, and explore how to move forward with that in mind. Get more of ‘you’ in your day. Working with clients who sometimes wonder ‘why did I just do that?’ brings me profound joy and together we can learn to tap into curiosity and acceptance of yourself as you are.

I have experience in providing therapeutic services to children, adults, couples, and families with diverse backgrounds.

Therapy offers the space to process emotions and experiences, develop a relationship with yourself, and gain insight. It is my goal to create a space for you to explore these areas, and to develop a therapeutic alliance that instills hope and encourages confidence. I utilize a psychodynamic approach rooted in attachment theory, and incorporate components of internal family systems, emotionally focused therapy, schema therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I believe that so much of how we view ourselves is shaped in our developmental years, and reinforced through narratives we tell ourselves. I take a person-centered, direct and compassionate approach, and rely heavily on the therapeutic alliance to create a space to reconstruct your view of yourself, others, and the world. Prior to joining River Wards, I worked in several outpatient drug and alcohol settings, and acute mental health settings. I have experience working with individuals with substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, thought disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience working with those who have experienced trauma and meet diagnostic criteria for C-PTSD. I have worked with pregnant and parenting people. I enjoy working with folks who are facing a transitional period of life. I also have experience as a former college athlete and current marathoner, and have interest in working with those who want to explore how athletics contributes to their identity and view of self. Whether you are looking to develop deeper relationships, manage emotions, or address anxiety and depression, the therapeutic relationship can serve as an arena to do so.

Therapy is a journey that allows us to hear that wisdom again (or for the first time) and ultimately, (re) connect to ourselves. It is a space where we can explore the different parts of ourselves, befriending and harmonizing with our inner characters, thus bringing our inner world into better alignment so that we can find peace in our external world. Therapy is also a site in which we learn to create and foster more harmony within our relationships, partnerships, and larger communities. I am a relational therapist, meaning I find the therapeutic relationship itself to be the site of deep healing and transformation. When we are invited to be our true selves and are accepted wholeheartedly, we can tap into our inner wisdom. I utilize a variety of modalities and frameworks to meet my clients’ needs, including mindfulness, self-compassion, existentialism, parts work, attachment theory, somatics, and liberation psychology. I have a background in community organizing and social justice/anti-carceral work. Having lived and worked in Latin America and the Middle East, I am passionate about working with adults and teens from all different walks of life who are dealing with major life transitions, identity exploration/changes, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, attachment wounds, substance use, LGBTQIA+, women’s issues, men’s issues, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, infertility and grief and loss.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, ongoing stress and difficulty relaxing. Perhaps you're struggling with your identity or orientation. You could be dealing with lack of focus, disorganization, and an inability to get started on the things you want to be doing. I want you to know that I'm here to help and excited to meet you! I am a licensed social worker specializing in (but not limited to) working with the LGBTQIA2+ community. I work with clients spanning from adolescence to adulthood, promoting a compassionate therapy space for individuals to explore their identity and transitional periods. As a therapist, my focus has been working with clients struggling with issues relating to Personal Identity, ADHD, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and Depression. In session, I prioritize your comfort and safety to create an environment you feel capable of being vulnerable in. I want to help you be your best self. My approach is highly individualized, as I like to get to know you and your struggles so I can apply an evidence-based, best-practice approach to serving every client's individual needs. My practice is informed by my background in philosophy, and I aim to apply that in the form of thoughtful question-asking to try to encourage my clients to think creatively and intentionally about themselves, their thoughts, and their actions. I will assign “homework” as it feels appropriate, but generally the work in-between sessions is focused on reflecting upon and applying the concepts we discuss in-session into your active life. My approach most frequently utilizes a blend of CBT, DBT, ACT, and REBT. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX Insurances.

I obtained my Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine and did my residency training at Northwell Health in New York, where I served as chief resident. After my residency, I was on faculty at New York University School of Medicine and practiced inpatient psychiatry at Bellevue Hospital. I am currently a faculty member at Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine and on staff at Main Line Health System. I am active in medical education, teaching medical students and resident physicians. I believe that a genuine understanding of the patient leads to best outcomes. Once that is achieved, I believe in a multipronged approach, of which medication is just one part. This treatment philosophy is best executed in collaboration with other disciplines such as therapy, social work and primary medicine. I love working with all types of mental health challenges, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar spectrum disorder and women’s mental health. I do believe that our life experiences play a major role in our mental health, along with biological predisposition, and I will do my best to understand your perspective as we develop a treatment plan. I have an office in West Chester and am also comfortable with virtual visits.

When we take time to slow down and give our pain attention, we make meaning out of our struggles and experience healing. I love this process both in my own therapy and when working with others. It’s engaging, but more importantly it’s an opportunity to resist oppressive forces by offering ourselves love and space. Using various methods, we can: carefully explore grief and trauma; pull apart shame, and be present for parts of you that deserve compassion; empower you over oppressive systems; make room for more pleasure and joy; relate to others differently, more deeply, or more often; affirm who you are, and find gratitude for what you’ve learned. While I may sometimes challenge you, you can expect from me sincere warmth, curiosity, and genuine, authentic care. You can also trust that you don’t need to explain your identity; I see you. As a Queer, Bigender therapist, I rely on who I am, certain frameworks, and communication to ensure I understand you. Queer theory, anti-racism, gender-affirming practices, and social justice-oriented psychotherapy inform my style. I come from a White working-class family and have worked in intense labor and community organizing. I work with people of any age, sexuality, and see folks in relationships and families of any kind. I specialize in working with LGBTQ folks, men’s and women’s issues, and couples. Together we’ll create a consistent space – where humor, play, and feedback are encouraged, and a place that you look forward to coming back to each week! Areas of focus: Depression; Anxiety and Fear; Gender and Sexuality; ADHD; Neurodivergence; PTSD; OCD; Complex Trauma, including childhood and sexual CPTSD; Grief; Relationship Issues; Men’s and Women’s Issues; Self-esteem. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to audiobooks, connecting with friends, curated memes, hiking, and gardening. I offer in-person therapy in Northern Liberties and can meet virtually. I sincerely look forward to meeting you! Take care. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and Board Certified Art Therapist, who uses a collaborative, strength-based approach that is neurodiversity and LGBTQIA affirming. I use a combination of mindfulness-based strategies, skills of CBT and DBT, and techniques of Art Therapy as the main components of my approach. What would you like the focus of your therapeutic work to be? What are the barriers standing in the way of greater contentment and internal peace? What would you like to change, create, or rebuild? I am committed to supporting you to ask the questions that matter most to you right now. I work with young adults, and adults of all ages who may be struggling with aspects of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I also work with those experiencing anxiety, loss and grief. My previous clinical experience has included work with children and caregivers who are coping with multiple losses, anxiety, and challenges related to neurodiversity. I have also had experience working with caregivers and parents who are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenting children with ADHD, ASD or anxiety.

My name is Andy Freedman, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Music Therapist. I have been working in the mental health field for over a decade, with extensive experience working with individuals and groups. I have helped children, adolescents and adults navigate the challenges they face with trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and more. People come to therapy for many different reasons, and no two journeys are the same. "What can therapy do for me? Is change possible?" What if we took that curiosity and kept going with it? What might you find along the way? Whatstrengths were there all along? Therapy doesn't always need to feel like surgery. Often the tools you need are already within reach...they can just be hard to see. Let's turn on a few lights and look at what is there. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but right where you are is the perfect place to start! I like to tailor the therapy to the style and preferences of the client. I have a degree in music therapy from Drexel University and facilitated music therapy groups for ten years, as well as individual work. I like to utilize IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help a client get acquainted with their inner selves in a non-pathologizing way. I also like to use DBT to improve the quality of everyday life with just a few behavioral hacks. Above all, I like to take time getting to know the client and use our therapeutic alliance to seek change, acceptance, or whatever it is that may be needed. There is also no need to rush things. We can work together to set a pace that feels safe and right. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

Available in-person in Philadelphia locations, and also via teletherapy. Leila is committed to collaborating with clients to create a strong therapeutic relationship that honors client agency. Their practice is rooted in Liberation Psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, experiential, and somatic therapies. They bring a flexible, eclectic approach to sessions. As a queer, neurodivergent, fat person of color, Leila is experienced in navigating the complexities of identity and intends to create a therapeutic space where differences are honored. Everyone has unique perspectives and ways of being in the world that can be difficult to navigate while managing day-to-day life. Leila is excited to explore how your past experiences, family, community, and institutional forces impact the way you live your life today. Leila’s experience in community organizing has convinced them that connection is the most important healing factor in a person’s life. Trusting and safe relationships can be hard to find, build, and maintain. Leila understands that healing doesn’t just happen in therapy, but as part of a larger web of connection. They are passionate about helping people develop strong supports within themselves and with others. Leila has personal and professional experience working with people with ADHD, autism, and OCD. They incorporate elements of internal family systems and exposure response prevention to help clients explore how ableism and shame affect their ability to live their lives safely and authentically.

I know it can feel incredibly hard to make a change when you are struggling and overwhelmed. By reaching out for support, you are already taking an important first step and listening to your needs. As a therapist, I believe deeply in the power of the relationship we build together. Curiosity is key to my work, because above all I want to know who you are, how you feel, and the way you experience the world. I aim to create a safe, warm space where you can develop a deeper and more compassionate self-understanding. I hope my collaborative and relational approach will support you in moving toward self-actualization, love, and joy. Most of us have lived through some sort of trauma or hardship. At the same time, we’re also trying to navigate systems of oppression. The strategies we develop to survive these experiences may eventually stop serving us. It takes time and attention to identify these forces, to grieve the ways they have affected us, and to figure out forms of resistance. Together, we can explore how your past has shaped your present, and what healing looks like for you. I am a white, queer, disabled woman and have experience working with people who hold many different identities. So often, the ups and downs in our lives arise from our relationships—with ourselves and with others. I enjoy working with clients to navigate these relationships. I am also motivated to see those who are seeking support around identity, self-esteem, chronic illness, life transitions, neurodivergence, anxiety, and depression. I strive to make therapy a space of empathy, authenticity, trust, and laughter. My work is client-centered, trauma-informed, and eclectic. I pull from psychodynamic, humanistic, and attachment theories, mindfulness, DBT/CBT skills, and other influences. I want our meetings to be a time when you can slow down and feel truly seen, heard, and cared for. Hopefully, the process can be enjoyable even if it is challenging. I’m honored to be alongside you in your journey! I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

As a clinician with a Master’s in Social Work, I operate from a “person-in-environment” perspective, where each individual situation is considered in the context of family of origin, racial, ethnic, cultural, and spiritual identities. I bring not only my professional experience, but also my personal experience as an Asian American woman to connect with my clients and understand their experiences. Dealing with your mental health can feel scary and unknown- my goal is to walk alongside you in this journey to better understand yourself and develop the skills you need to feel more comfortable in your own mind. I believe the most important thing in a therapeutic relationship is the connection that we foster together. You can expect me to be warm, curious, compassionate, logical, and humorous. I offer psychotherapy to adults of all ages and work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma (childhood, complex, identity-based, intergenerational), interpersonal relationship struggles, life transitions, history of intimate partner violence, socioeconomic stress, feelings of marginalization, and difficulty with mental health in the Asian American community and other communities of color. My approach to therapy is collaborative and eclectic, with trauma-informed care and anti-racist framework at the foundation of my work. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamics, Mindfulness-Based Practices, and Cultural-Relational Therapy as well. I know these acronyms can be overwhelming and not make any sense. At the core of my work, I focus on how we show up to our therapy sessions, what your priorities are, how we can work to reach your goals, and acknowledging and processing the systemic barriers that are impacting your mental health. I believe it is essential to incorporate clients’ cultural, spiritual, and personal practices into the therapeutic process. As a multi-racial woman, I provide affirming care to members of the BIPOC community, LGBTQ+ community, and individuals navigating questions of identity, marginalization, and internalized oppression.

Accepting Aetna, Cigna, United/Optum, Quest, Highmark, & IBX Insurances. Hello! I’m truly excited for you to embark on this journey toward healing, self-fulfillment, and connection. If you’re facing challenges like a lack of motivation, racing thoughts, guilt or shame, difficulty managing frustration, panic attacks, people-pleasing tendencies, or struggles with setting boundaries, I'm here to support you. My main goal is to help you identify your values, foster joy, enhance positive social interactions, and create a sense of safety within yourself. I prefer a casual communication style and often incorporate humor to lighten the atmosphere. My approach is trauma-informed, emphasizing your agency and self-efficacy. I recognize that structural factors such as race, socioeconomic status, and gender can impact emotional, mental, and physical health, and I aim to address these realities in our work together. I work with clients of all ages, from children to older adults. When working with children and their caregivers, I adopt a family systems approach, focusing on family dynamics, caregiver support, transitions, and intergenerational conflicts. Together, we can establish systems of joy, safety, and predictability. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, trauma, and various behavioral challenges. Let’s navigate this journey together! I am a therapist with a background in Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT). I believe our bodies are valuable sources of information, tools for emotional regulation, and provide a sense of safety. Many people may feel disconnected from their bodies or apprehensive about engaging with bodily sensations, which can be frightening. To address this, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Creative Arts Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and a Strength-Based Approach to meet my clients' needs. A strong therapeutic connection is essential for healing, so I tailor my sessions to suit each client individually.

Hello, I’m Emma, and I’m glad you’re here! Finding the right therapist is one of the most challenging parts of any healing journey. That is why my approach to therapy is grounded in non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming care. Mental health challenges do not have to control your life. I believe that everyone can grow and heal with collaborative interventions, self-exploration, and support. I approach clients with a feminist perspective and understand that many of the challenges we face are rooted in our environments. I view therapy as a creative space where healing is tailored to the client depending on past experiences, culture, sexuality, gender, race, and economic status. I specialize in CBT and incorporate mindfulness, IFS, DBT, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and family systems therapy. I work with various types of clients and challenges, including relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, sexual functioning, and more. I also specialize in working with teens. Together, we can build a relationship that's rooted in authenticity and work towards collaboratively created goals to enhance well-being and happiness.

I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma recovery/PTSD, grief, relationship issues, intimate partner violence, out-of-control behaviors, and school/work stress. I will support you in finding deeper feelings of fulfillment, ease, self-alignment, and possibility in your life. I work primarily with teens and young adults in times of change or life disruption. Changes in social life, relationships, feeling a part of something bigger or not, family dynamics, and/or figuring out school or work can be tough on top of the things you’re already dealing with. Many people I work with feel stuck in some way. You don’t have to figure everything out alone. My priority is to connect with you and create a foundation of trust on which to build our work. I see therapy as a dynamic process that we co-create together. There is space for the issues that come up day-to-day alongside the older sources of pain that have been with you. My therapy approach is grounded in the understanding that past experiences and the world we grow up in influence us in conscious and unconscious ways. Therapy with me includes attention beyond thinking and using the mind - increasing the capacity to feel your feelings and listen to your inner wisdom is an active part of the process. I use a strengths-based, whole-person perspective, and I offer skills and tools using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) depending on your goals for therapy. I encourage people to share meaningful reference points that help them understand themselves - like religious, spiritual, or cultural teachings, books, stories, characters, games, or memes. People describe me as genuine, warm, humorous, and straight-forward. I work well with people of all backgrounds. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community with non-monogamous experience, I work with many LGBTQ+ people and people in non-monogamous relationships. I deeply respect the unique lives of the individuals I work with, and I love to witness their progress toward their goals. I accept Aetna, Cigna, IBX, United/Optum, & Quest insurances.

My clients are ages 18 to 80, and are folks of all backgrounds, identities, and health statuses.

I find myself particularly energized by working with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and/or eating disorders. In particular, I have significant experience working with survivors of domestic violence or intimate partner violence. I also have worked with adults with chronic illness and/or chronic pain. I also have experience working with adolescents and adults with ADHD. My innate warmth, compassion, humor, and adaptability enable me to build meaningful connections with clients who often struggle to connect with others. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I witnessed firsthand the heightened need for mental health services in immigrant, asylee, and newly resettled communities. This realization inspired me to shift my professional focus from education to psychology, aiming to support multicultural populations in a clinical setting. My approach as a therapist borrows from my experience as a former educator: I want you to leave your therapy session feeling as though you’re coming away with a new skill, different perspective, or deeper level of understanding. I utilize an eclectic blend of evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to best fit your therapy goals. Additionally, I see therapy as a chance to practice assertive communication skills. I frequently will ask about your preferences for therapy as I believe you are the expert of your life; I am simply a guide to support you on the journey. Ultimately, I view successful therapy as therapy that works for you as an individual.

Life can feel isolating, especially when you're carrying pain, confusion, or patterns that no longer serve you. But we aren’t meant to do this alone. I believe that therapy offers a relationship where you don’t have to hold everything by yourself, where someone can bear witness to your challenges and walk alongside you as you navigate them. My goal is to offer that kind of space: steady, safe, and grounded in trust. You might be overwhelmed by racing or intrusive thoughts, feeling disconnected from joy, or unsure of who you are. You may be navigating major life transitions, stuck in relational dynamics that feel familiar but painful, or carrying the weight of experiences you haven’t yet had space to process. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone and I’m here to support you. I work with young adults, adults, and couples around a wide range of concerns including relationship challenges, identity exploration, grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and complex or developmental trauma. I hold particular interest in working with clients navigating C-PTSD, religious trauma, and emotional patterns rooted in early attachment wounds. My approach is attachment-based and psychodynamic, meaning we’ll explore how your early experiences and relationships may still be shaping how you relate to yourself and others today. I believe that meaningful change begins with insight but is sustained through emotional presence, body awareness, and the co-regulation that develops within a strong therapeutic alliance. Sessions are collaborative and responsive to your needs in the moment. They may include deeper reflection, gentle challenges, or concrete tools, depending on what feels most helpful. I take an eclectic and holistic approach, integrating Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and somatic therapy. I view wellness as multidimensional—our emotional, physical, relational, occupational, and environmental well-being are deeply interconnected and all deserve attention in the healing process. Prior to joining River Wards Wellness Collective, I completed a graduate internship at a trauma-informed, attachment-based private practice where I worked with individuals and couples on concerns including mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, communication struggles, sexual and gender identity, addiction and recovery, family conflict, grief and loss, social anxiety, religious trauma, and complex trauma. I also facilitated group therapy focused on vicarious trauma and systemic oppression for staff at a local nonprofit. As a queer clinician with a background in Intercultural Studies, I approach this work with a strong commitment to anti-oppressive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and multiculturally responsive care. Whatever brings you here, whether it be grief, growth, confusion, or change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you as you move toward a deeper sense of clarity, peace, and healing. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, & IBX insurances.

The goal of this group is to allow teens to connect and provide validation, guidance, and support to each other. We want them to feel heard all while learning how to regulate their bodies and minds through mindfulness, thought challenging, and appropriate exposure to fears. We will provide space for group members to share, process, and gain support with real life issues. This group will utilize both mindfulness components as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to teach group members how to cope with big emotions. CBT is an approach of psychotherapy that focuses on making connections between behavior, thoughts, and feelings. CBT can profoundly help adolescents and teens identify and change dysfunctional patterns of thoughts and behavior. CBT can be effective in treating many teen issues, including: Anxiety Depression Trauma Disordered eating Teens will also learn how to utilize mindfulness to enhance their everyday lives and build a deeper connection with themselves. Examples of this include: breathing techniques, visualization, and body scans to feel more connected to your body and sense of self.

At the core of my work is building a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. I would love to get to know you and whatever you bring to the therapy space, listen to areas you may feel stuck in, and go from there. Centering you as a human being who has taken the brave first step of working with a new therapist, I want to go at a pace that you feel comfortable with and are ready for. Clients have found my approach to be warm and validating with a helpful dose of directness and practical skill-building. As part of my systemic lens, I like to build an understanding of the contexts and experiences that make up your unique story—whether that be intersecting identities, histories with trauma, or communities you’re a part of or want to be involved in. Using evidence-based modalities, I then work with you to set goals for treatment that feel attainable and may even bring about some hope. I believe that both acknowledging pain as well as accessing joy is integral to a helpful therapy experience, so I aim to support you in finding or rediscovering what makes life feel worth living through nonjudgment, curiosity, and collaboration (and a bit of humor along the way doesn’t hurt, either!). I work with people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities, and have extensive experience treating adolescents, adults, college students, parents and caregivers, individuals with multiple/complex traumas, and those newer to therapy, including those considering therapy at a loved one’s request. All are welcome, and I especially enjoy working with queer, trans, neurodivergent and BIPOC folks and addressing topics like anticipatory grief, loneliness, anxiety, depression, life transitions/stress, trauma, parenthood, postpartum, parenting LGBTQIA+ youth, caretaking for loved ones, and family members affected by substance abuse or narcissism. I draw from person-centered, anti-racist, and trauma-informed therapeutic frameworks. I am also certified in EMDR and tend to integrate emotion regulation and mindfulness-based modalities, including DBT and ACT (a form of CBT that integrates acceptance with creating actions that move toward your values). Of note, I also adore animals and have two cats. Starting therapy is a cause worth celebrating, and I can’t wait to work with you. I use she/her pronouns and accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, Highmark, & IBX insurances. I am available for in-person sessions at the Society Hill location, as well as teletherapy.

I incorporate strategies to help clients recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns, while building emotional awareness, self-trust, and resilience at a pace that feels right for them. For clients who are interested, I recognize that healing can take many forms and have the ability to integrate art, play, and music into my sessions to offer creative and nonverbal pathways for expression. I appreciate working with clients who want support with: - Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive tendencies - Emotion regulation - Self-esteem - Navigating life adjustments and changes - Healthy expression and authenticity - Increasing relational satisfaction - Building healthy coping skills and techniques Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy photography, expressive arts, hiking in nature, and grounding practices like yoga, pilates, and meditation.

My name is Izzy and I am a licensed social worker who earned my MSW at UPENN. I am currently working towards licensure for LCSW. In my opinion, the most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. In our sessions we will collaborate to identify goals to work towards and build the coping skills necessary to handle the ups and downs of life. Building trust is the first step in the therapeutic relationship. Our sessions will be a safe space for emotional exploration. My goal is for my clients to build trust in themselves and feel that they can navigate through challenges with confidence and comfort. My approach is to tailor each session to fit your unique needs while using a trauma informed lens. I am always open to feedback and I welcome boundary setting. I operate from a person centered approach in order to encourage self discovery and personal growth. I aim to bring humor and perspective to my sessions. I invite curiosity and vulnerability and nothing is taboo or off limits. You can bring your full self to our sessions.

I understand how these struggles can show up: racing or overwhelming thoughts, feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to break, or questioning where you are in life and where you're headed. My focus is on helping clients build emotional understanding and resilience, while supporting them in achieving lasting growth. With a strong background in working with the college population, I have supported clients during significant periods of personal exploration and growth. I view therapy as a collaborative and transformative process. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my approach is centered on helping clients understand and work with their emotions in a constructive way. As a queer, Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University, I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, explore their emotions, and develop strategies to thrive, while normalizing emotional responses and reinforcing that all feelings are valid and part of the human journey.

Saying “take care of yourself” can place the burden solely on one person, when real healing is built through relationships, community, and support. It happens where people gather: a warm place, honest conversation, and hands that help carry heavy things. This is where we meet. I work with adults, couples, BIPOC and other underserved communities, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent folks (including ADHD and autism-spectrum concerns) to support their journey. By centering the needs of those I serve, my approach is integrative and trauma-responsive. I bring expertise in EMDR for trauma processing, relational couples work (I’m a certified SYMBIS facilitator), parts work, and an insight-oriented approach that explores how past experiences shape current patterns. Together, we address challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, and everyday life stressors, collaboratively creating a plan that honors the mind-body connection and supports growth beyond the therapy room. In session, I make space for creation and harmony of self — for the parts of you that need gentleness, the parts of you that need challenge, and the parts of you learning how to belong. I welcome openness and honesty, offering opportunities to practice new ways of being so that they can extend into life outside the room. Together, we’ll tend to the effects of these challenges, cultivate daily practices that support stability, and strengthen resilience. This rests on three pillars that guide our work together: A Safe Space: Connection and containment where you can be seen, share your story, and link to supports and community that help carry the load. A Grace Space: Compassion and understanding — for the ways you’ve survived and the mistakes that come with being human; grace is given and received. A Brave Space: A place to bring your most vulnerable parts, with my steady presence as you do the hard, brave work of healing. I am deeply committed to uplifting communities by advocating for their needs while addressing the mental health impacts of stress and challenging life circumstances. Moving beyond trauma-informed care, I practice trauma-responsive care to foster healing, awareness, and an overall sense of well-being. If you’re looking for a therapist who values cultural humility, community-based healing, and practical, integrative care, I welcome the opportunity to work together. I offer both in-person therapy in Fishtown and teletherapy. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, & IBX Insurances.

Maybe you're feeling anxious, going through a breakup, or trying to adjust after something big like divorce, illness, or infertility. Whatever you're facing is hard, and I you don't have to go through it alone. I work with individuals and couples during times of transition. This includes relationship issues, grief, health challenges, and major life changes. I also support those adjusting to life after cancer whether you’ve been through treatment yourself or cared for someone who has. My approach is warm and collaborative. I draw from psychodynamic, person-centered, Gestalt, and CBT methods, along with mindfulness tools.

Drawing on training in family systems theory, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, I take an eclectic and flexible approach tailored to each client’s needs. Whether through art, “parts work,” or other therapeutic techniques, my goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make lasting change. I like to think of therapy as a mix of honesty and compassion. I’ll be in your corner, but I’ll also nudge you when I think it could help. Humor often makes its way into sessions, and when it feels right, spirituality does too. Above all, I want therapy to feel like a safe space where all parts of you are welcome. My work is grounded in antiracist, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and feminist values. Above all, I strive to help clients work through difficult emotions, heal past wounds, and move toward a more connected, content, and fulfilling life. Specialties ● Adoption Support: As an adoptee, I bring both personal insight and professional training to my work with the adoption community. I help clients explore the complex issues tied to adoption—including grief, identity, and belonging—and support all members of the adoption triad. This includes adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. ● Couples Counseling: I work with couples to strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, and address the impact of family of origin issues. My approach fosters not only healthier relationships but also individual growth and healing. A Little More About Me Outside of work, I’m a single mom by choice to a college - aged daughter. I enjoy visiting art museums, going for walks, and exploring spiritual practices that bring me meaning and balance. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, & IBX insurances.

I’m straightforward, informative, and collaborative. My goal is to help by inviting trauma processing, providing tools for confidence building, and being a listener and supporter on the days that feel the hardest. I am passionate about my approach rooted in warmth, creativity, acceptance, and non-judgment. I specialize in identity work and self-image, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, substance misuse, autism spectrum, life transition stress, postpartum depression, chronic pain or illness, and ADHD counseling. I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA2S+ folx, BIPOC clients, and veterans. I see clients ages 15 and older. As a Master of Social Work therapist, I integrate systems theory into my perspective, seeing humans and environments through many lenses. I offer art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and interpersonal therapy. An integrative approach can be offered based on your input. I come prepared with structure, but I pivot to make the space feel as if it is meeting your needs in the moment. It can be overwhelming, not only in seeking a therapist with whom you fit, but in sharing parts of yourself with a new person. New phases of life can feel daunting, especially if you're feeling disconnected from yourself or your community. I hope to co-engineer an environment for replenishment, healing, and connection with you. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

My presence is often described as warm, grounding, and reassuring. My approach is person-centered, which means that while I may provide observations and skills, you the patient are the expert, and that we are working together to understand what troubles you. In session we will create a comfortable place where you can explore all of your most uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. These might be things you can't say to friends and loved ones, but needed the experience of hearing yourself say to someone you trust. In response, I can give constructive feedback that might not hit right if it came from those closest to you, but you really needed to hear from someone who understands you and wants you to live your best life. I am neurodivergent-affirming, anti-racist, and queer-affirming, and I work with people to explore ways their adaptive skills have been pathologized, discouraged, and stigmatized. When appropriate, we may focus on targeted interventions such as EMDR and exposure therapy, and skill building based in CBT, DBT, and ACT. We may also focus on existential concerns, especially around meaning making and coming to terms with what choices you have in life and facing them with courage. A non-exhaustive list of challenges/populations I have experience with: PTSD and CPTSD, depression, anxiety, loneliness, feeling “stuck”, lack of meaning, ADHD and neurodiversity, artists, grief and loss, LGBTQIA+, life transitions, struggles managing emotions, shame and doubt, addiction, bipolar, panic attacks, members of various subcultures, and folks who are not sure, they just want change. My personal interests include creative writing, making music with friends, running, cooking, and spending time in the woods. Much of this is liable to show up in examples and metaphors in session!

My name is Tajanté Wainwright (she/her), and I am a Licensed ProfessionalCounselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania. I am passionate about creating a safe healing space that allows individuals to reconnect with their full self. I offer a person-centered approach to encourage a collaborative environment and to support the unique experiences and challenges that each person navigates. I work with older teens, adults, BIPOC and other underserved communities, and LGBTQ+ folks. I create space in sessions to approach challenges with both top-down and bottom-up processing. I find it important to acknowledge how the body can hold stress and trauma and to reflect on the mind-body connection within sessions. My goal is to support identifying and meeting needs, rebuilding awareness of oneself, and to acknowledge holistic care. I aim to assist my clients in identifying, building, and practicing skills that they can use to continue their growth outside of the therapeutic space. As challenges faced are unique to each individual, we will also hold space to consider the intersectionality of other identities that impact experiences and our healing processes/needs. I describe my therapeutic approach as a trauma-informed and mindfulness-based lens while also drawing on elements of CBT, ACT, TF-CBT, EMDR, Flash Technique, and Somatic Psychotherapy. I rely on these modalities to support client stressors that include trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, racial trauma, emotional regulation, and stress management. I received my Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Temple University in 2022 and have spent time working in both non-profit and private practice settings. My previous experiences working with adolescents with behavioral challenges, LGBTQ+ folk, sexual assault survivors of all ages through individual, group, and hotline services, have all shaped my therapeutic approach. Outreaching for support can be scary and showing up is half the battle. We will always spend time ensuring the therapeutic space feels safe before addressing any stressors and challenges. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I look forward to connecting with you. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, United/Optum, Quest, & IBX insurances.

Many people with ADHD have internalized harmful labels — “lazy,” “unmotivated,” “too emotional” — that can distort self-perception and hinder growth. This group provides a space to unpack those narratives and reconnect with your authentic identity. Over 12 weeks, participants will engage in both process-oriented discussions and skills-based coaching. Together, we’ll examine the stories others have told us, challenge internalized stigma, and develop tools for emotional regulation, time management, and self-compassion. The goal is to build a more accurate, affirming self-understanding — grounded in your strengths, not stereotypes. Week 1 – Introduction & Lived Experience How has ADHD / neurodivergence impacted your life? Exploring early experiences, strengths, challenges, and patterns while establishing group norms and safety. Week 2 – Labels & Internalized Narratives What labels have others imposed on you because of your neurodivergence? How have these labels shaped your self-concept, expectations, shame, or identity? Week 3 – Masking & Authenticity How do you mask in different settings? How does masking take a toll on your sense of self and energy? Are there spaces where you feel safe unmasking? Week 4 – Spoon Theory & Energy Use Navigating a “normal” world as a neurodivergent person takes energy. What activities siphon more spoons than others? Noticing patterns without judgment. Week 5 – Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) How do you experience rejection sensitivity dysphoria? How have internalized labels reinforced your rejection response? Psychoeducation on RSD as a visceral, often out-of-body nervous system reaction (fight, flight, freeze, shutdown, dissociation) rather than a cognitive choice. Exploring the impact of perceived rejection on identity, avoidance, and relationships. Week 6 – Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) Neurodivergence can create the perception that everything takes effort. When you don’t want to complete a task, what do you feel in your body? Exploring resistance, overwhelm, and nervous system responses. Week 7 – Mindfulness (DBT Foundations) Introducing mindfulness from DBT. How can mindfulness help us stay on task while working through discomfort around unpleasant tasks, better understand emotions, and feel more in flow with life? Week 8 – Time Blindness & Mindful Coping How does time blindness affect you? Using mindfulness to cope with time distortion and reduce shame around productivity, lateness, and follow-through. Week 9 – Relationships & Communication How does being neurodivergent impact relationships? Using DBT communication skills to create more balance while holding the tension between how disability impacts partners and practicing self-compassion for who you are. Week 10 – Understanding Emotions (DBT Model) Neurodivergence impacts how emotions are experienced, often contributing to emotion dysregulation. Learning to describe, understand, and validate emotions to support regulation. Week 11 – Balancing Self-Acceptance and Change How do we set realistic goals while balancing growth and self-compassion? Exploring the difference between meaningful change and internalized ableism. Week 12 – Reflection & Closing What have you learned about yourself through this group? How has the group helped you challenge unhealthy stigma and narratives about ADHD and neurodivergence? Co-led by a licensed clinician and pre-licensed therapist, this group offers connection, validation, and practical strategies for navigating life with a neurodivergent brain.

This virtual group will be facilitated by: Theo Meyer & Leila Saad Hosted through Zoom https://www.riverwardswellness.com/makenzie-meehan daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba05bd312b13f575b686168/942be56a-0590-41fb-b5cb-36672982f731/Makenzie-YEE_3098-20251204%5B75%5D.jpg Makenzie Meehan - Makenzie Meehan LAMFT | Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (In supervision toward clinical licensure with Courtney Lott, LMFT) Sometimes therapy can feel intimidating, especially when it means facing parts of yourself that you’ve learned to hide. One of the most important aspects of finding a therapist is finding a space where you truly feel safe. Safety can look like feeling present and grounded, expressing your inner thoughts and feelings, and showing up as your whole self. With openness, collaboration, and a little humor, we can create a space that is nonjudgemental and affirming. Together, we’ll explore the protective walls you’ve built to get through difficult experiences that once served you and can now be understood and released with self compassion. As a queer, systemic therapist, I strive to create a collaborative and meaningful relationship where you can start to feel comfortable to open up. Whether you’re exploring your sexuality, struggling with depression and/or anxiety, working through relationship challenges, or seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to provide a space of acceptance and affirmation. With cultural competence and cultural humility, I believe our identities of sexuality, gender, race, and class all intersect to shape how we move through the world and how we relate to others. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply so you can begin to name and honor your own needs, both in relationships with yourself and with others. My approach to therapy is grounded in safety, connection, and curiosity. I work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds to uncover generational patterns, relationship dynamics, intimacy issues and unhelpful coping strategies that may no longer serve you and/or your partner. I help you connect the dots between your past and present experiences drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, with a trauma-informed lens. Through tools like genograms, psychoeducation, and collaborative exploration, we will work together toward healing, growth, and meaningful change. For LGBTQIA+ couples, I offer a space to dismantle hetronormative expectations that can influence relationship roles, explore desire discrepancies, and address internalized shame or hypervigilance that may stem from living in a world not always affirming of queer identity and love. I also help provide psychoeducation on queer sexual health and resources for affirming care, helping couples build stronger, more intentional relationships. When I am not practicing therapy you can find me exploring the city in search of the coziest coffee shops, the funkiest thrift shops, or the coolest restaurants. If I’m not exploring, you can find me watching a bravo show with my black cat cuddled next to me. Areas of Focus: Individuals: Anxiety Depression Identity exploration Trauma Attachment wounds Couples: Communication Emotional disconnection LGBTQIA+ relationships Sex therapy I accept Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Quest, & IBX Insurances.

It’s not too late! I know change might feel impossible right now, especially if you are feeling weighed down by trauma, guilt or shame about the past, unhealthy patterns that you just can’t seem to shake, or just feeling stuck on where to start. And yet, I believe you can learn, grow, and yes, even change. Together, we can work to unlearn unhealthy patterns, heal from past hurt, identify and re-align to core values, and improve regulation of emotions. I believe you can be capable of dealing with life on life’s terms and find purpose in all areas of life. It’s never too late to change, and I’m so excited to help you along this journey. I take a holistic approach to therapy, based around your unique needs and goals, integrating techniques and strategies from a range of modalities (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and somatic therapy), to help you build resilience and achieve long-term wellness.

I'm committed to helping you build deep self-trust and self-compassion.

Hey, I’m Sarah. I’m really glad you’re here. There are few places in life where we can slow down, show up fully, and feel safe while doing so. And let’s be real - therapy can stir up all kinds of feelings. But having experienced firsthand the transformative healing therapy can bring, I chose to become a psychotherapist to provide that same support for others. I am especially passionate about supporting young to middle-aged adults navigating the complexities of sex, sexuality, and intimate relationships. Whether you’re exploring your sexual identity, recovering from sexual harm, or navigating the dynamics of relationships (monogamous, polyamorous, open, or otherwise), I am committed to fostering a space where you can heal and thrive. I am also deeply interested in supporting people living with anxiety, grief & loss, and OCD. My work is rooted in liberation and inclusivity, inviting the many expressions of intimacy, identity, communication, and attachment. I approach this work with a trauma-informed, sex-positive, and relational lens. This means honoring your unique lived experience, inviting open and shame-free explorations, and centering our work in trust, safety, and meaningful connection. I see therapy as a collaborative practice we build together, meeting you where you are while gently creating room for the growth you are seeking. I am not here to fix you, but to walk alongside you, tending to what’s been set aside and meeting what arises with compassion and curiosity. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

I work with individuals who want to better understand their emotions, feel more grounded, and create meaningful and lasting change. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, and substance use concerns. I have extensive experience working with adult children of alcoholics and individuals healing from emotionally neglectful or unpredictable childhood environments. Many of my clients are working through the lasting effects of complex trauma, including people-pleasing, self-doubt, and difficulty feeling safe or fully themselves. I also have a particular interest in helping men develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and build more authentic relationships. My approach is grounded in Gestalt therapy, which focuses on increasing self-awareness and understanding how thoughts, emotions, and body experiences connect in the present moment. I integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, and experiential work to support meaningful growth and lasting change. Clients often appreciate my honest and straightforward style. I balance openness and directness with genuine respect and care, creating a space where you can explore difficult experiences while feeling supported and understood. Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to each individual. My style is warm, engaged, and thoughtful, with gentle but meaningful interventions at a pace that feels right for you. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a producer and journalist, and I bring a multicultural perspective and deep curiosity about people's stories into my work.

Through a process that is gentle, intuitive, and individually-tailored, I help my clients unearth their own innate wisdom to live life on their terms and with more serenity and satisfaction. I want to know what your story is. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, it is of utmost importance to me to create an inclusive, welcoming environment in sessions. My professional passion and area of expertise is the intersection of ADHD and disordered eating, but I see clients with a variety of different concerns and goals for therapy. I have experience supporting clients whose lives feel out of alignment with how they envisioned; navigating difficult interpersonal relationships; experiencing depression and impacts that make it hard for them to navigate daily tasks, especially in regard to eating and taking care of themselves. I assist my clients in re-framing unhelpful thoughts that they may have about themselves and their situations while also validating the struggles that they have been through. Some of my favorite techniques to use in therapy include Narrative Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I would love to explore whether I would be a good fit for your healing journey. Areas of Focus: ADHD, eating disorders, disordered eating patterns, LGBTQ+ topics, depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, sobriety, PTSD, CPTSD, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

If you find yourself grappling with big questions about meaning, safety, or the future, or feeling alone in these thoughts, this therapeutic group offers a supportive and welcoming space to slow down and reflect together. You don’t need to have the right words or answers—just a willingness to show up and be human alongside others. This group will offer support for navigating existential anxiety and emotional fatigue, while also exploring healthier ways to engage with news, media, and constant information. Together, we’ll focus on finding balance between staying aware and staying well, reconnecting with personal values, and building a sense of grounding and connection in daily life. This group may be a good fit for adults who feel overwhelmed by the state of the world, struggle with hopelessness or isolation, or are seeking thoughtful connection and support while living in uncertain times.

The human experience includes many transitions, such as grief and loss, different life stages, and, most importantly, how we relate to each other. My passions align closely with providing a safe, secure space to guide and support clients struggling in any of these life areas. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression while navigating through grief, loss, relationships, or substance use, I want to create a space for you to freely share your feelings while we work together towards building resiliency and strength. Throughout my clinical and personal experiences, I’ve come to understand the value and importance of allowing individuals to feel safe being authentic, and my goal is to support you while you build the skills to become and feel empowered. To attain this goal, I use person-centered and values-based therapeutic approaches to create an individualized and authentic space for each of my clients, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy. I also utilize a blend of evidence-based therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My hope is to support and guide you through life's stressors while building an authentic and safe therapeutic relationship!

Whether you are struggling through something right now or just looking to gain a different perspective, there is space for you here: welcome! In my work, I strive to create an open environment where all of my clients can feel comfortable as well as heard. The world can be cruel at times, and if you are feeling anxious or depressed because of something you are going through – know that you are not alone. Therapy, however, can be a valuable tool to help soothe the hard feelings of today and prepare you to face the world a little wiser tomorrow. As a clinician, I believe that the best tool for an effective listener is an open mind, and I approach new challenges with curiosity, honesty, and humor (when appropriate). It is my belief that the client is the expert on their own life, so I will check in frequently and collaborate with you throughout the therapeutic process to make sure we are aligned to the same goals. While some forms of therapy take the approach of “fixing what’s wrong,” I aim to increase a client’s self-awareness about how they think and react to situations so they can begin to act with more intention. Further, using a strengths-based approach, I attempt to highlight a client’s existing talents and resources to draw upon in times of distress. Psychodynamic and narrative perspectives also inform my work as a therapist – meaning that I see great value in exploring formative early relationships in your life that affect how you build and maintain relationships now. Narrative therapy can also provide a helpful framework of viewing your life as a story in order to identify central themes and beliefs. If your life were a book, who would be the characters who influenced you most? Whose words do you use to describe the past? Are you the hero or villain of your own story? Oftentimes, the words we use to describe memories are words we have borrowed from family or friends. Taking a step back to acknowledge the origin of our narratives can help us sift through the stories that actively help us, and “re-story” the ones that do not. While my doors are open to everyone, I am especially passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and helping clients navigate new and ongoing identity exploration. As a queer person myself, I am sensitive to the social and financial barriers that many face when seeking help for their mental health, and it is my wish to make therapy as accessible to everyone as possible. While the queer community is robust and supportive, there are still unique challenges that face those of us who cannot – or choose not to – “pass” as straight or cisgender in today’s society, and I know that therapy can seem particularly scary to those who have seen it leveraged as a means of limiting access to services, such as gender-affirming care. I am a clinician who understands this delicate history and wants to rebuild trust in mental health professionals by offering the best tailored care to LGBTQ+ individuals that I can.
