Therapists in 22201

Are you going through transitions, changes, & challenges in life? My expertise is in helping clients navigate through relationship issues, break-up, separation, or divorce. Many clients are feeling the effects of social isolation. Are you in the process of detangling from an abusive or narcissistic partner? It is essential to take time for healing during and after these stressors. In the recovery phase, it is crucial to focus on yourself & learn new coping patterns. Headlines to remember Independence vs. Dependence! Jumping into a new relationship is not recommended for your recovery plan.

In therapy, I strive to create an empathetic and non-judgmental environment. I recognize that therapy can be hard and I provide a supportive space for clients to explore and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Using a person-centered approach, I meet each client where they are. I focus on identifying strengths that can be used to build resilience and live a fulfilling life. In session, I integrate evidence-based practices, including cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapies.

Feel like you're a constantly spinning top, trying desperately not to topple. Honestly, our minds are bombarded by more stimuli in a day than our ancestors faced in a lifetime. It’s overwhelming, Even for people who swear they are not competitive, jealous, or influenced by the current pace of change or amount of choices – it’s exhausting. To students: Navigating what feels like endless academia & adulthood simultaneously? It's hard. Between endless comparisons with your friends who all seem to have the perfect internship to the guilt of spending too much time on Tiktok - you can start to really doubt that you can handle this.

One’s experience in therapy should be as unique as they are as a person. In working with my clients, I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach because it assumes that one treatment or modality can meet the various needs of different clients. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families on a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, autism, trauma, behavioral concerns, intellectual disabilities, life-transitions, self-esteem, disordered eating, parenting, and family dynamics. At the core, I work to create a warm, authentic, and non-judgmental space for my clients as they go through the counseling process.

I believe that the therapeutic space should be a place to center your feelings and story. For young people in particular, it can be so powerful to know that stories matter, that there is space for big feelings, and that agency over emotions is possible. In this space, we will work together to build a trusting relationship, grow, and heal. I identify as queer and primarily work with youth and adolescents in the LGBTQ community and individuals impacted by trauma. I center my therapeutic work in trauma-informed approaches and building a space of safety within the four walls (or the video session!) of therapy.

As a clinician, it is my goal to provide a safe, comforting, and encouraging environment for personal growth. I work from a strengths-based model to highlight the various systems in your life and work to address the needs and concerns that you bring into the counseling session. I strive to ensure that you feel supported and valued in our counseling relationship, this is one of the main benefits of seeing an independent provider.

Have you been considering seeking help from a mental health professional? Or maybe you’ve decided to give therapy another try. The foundation of an effective therapeutic relationship begins with finding a therapist with whom you have a good fit and connection. I will meet you with compassion and empathy, while also guiding you towards self-exploration and increased awareness. I believe that we navigate life and view the world through a lens influenced by our society and culture. I will support you in your process of becoming more of the person you want to be and help you commit to actions that align with your desired goals.

In our work together, we will identify and reach towards your fullest potential, build a sense of confidence and ease, and achieve deeper connections. These connections will include with yourself, your partner, family members, peers, and other members of your community. Some of these steps will involve making changes but many will involve noticing the strengths that you already possess! I will provide my knowledge and experience treating anxiety/social anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship conflict, identity concerns, social difficulties, grief, and more. I work with children 10 and older, teens, adults, and families.

I provide my clients with a safe, judgement-free environment so they feel supported from the first point of contact throughout the entire therapeutic relationship. I value individual differences in each of my clients and provide space for them to be who they are. I strongly believe that being unedited and open with oneself is essential for understanding the sources of struggles and what makes us feel stuck. I am a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional, and I work with clients that present with OCD, social anxiety, general anxiety, panic disorder, and phobias.

My therapeutic style is very warm and genuine, with generous doses of humor. I am a big proponent of using therapeutic techniques that have good research evidence demonstrating their effectiveness. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). CBT teaches clients coping skills to manage their emotions and behaviors. It also changes clients' emotions by helping them change their thoughts and behaviors. I provide CBT to address the following presenting problems: Adjustment Disorders, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.

I have 25 years of clinical practice and have written 18 books in my field. I am also a professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice. I am an experienced cognitive-behavioral therapist for depression, anxiety, trauma, and insomnia.

I help clients achieve their goals by utilizing research-based interventions within a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic space. In this fast-paced and often high-pressure region in which we live, having a place to talk about the things going on in your life without having to worry about how it might impact others can be a relief within itself. I specialize in working with children (ages 10+), adolescents, and adults.

I have extensive experience working with families from various sociocultural backgrounds. I am skilled in conducting neurodevelopmental evaluations with infants and toddlers presenting a range of neurodevelopmental concerns. I am committed to providing inclusive and culturally competent care, with a strong sensitivity to cultural, racial, and gender issues.

I consider it a privilege to do the work I do—in fact, helping others heal, grow, and thrive every day brings great meaning to my life. I know from personal experience how life can sometimes feel unbearable. I also know from personal experience what it is like to work closely with a gifted psychologist to create a new perspective and a new life that are even better than before. I am passionate about providing the highest-quality mental health services to each of my clients and would love the opportunity to support you through this time.

You are unique. The way you experience and process the world around you is a reflection of your individuality. As such, my approach is tailored to suit the specific needs of the individuals I work with. I believe that everyone is doing their best, given their life circumstances and acquired coping. You deserve to have a provider meet you where you are in life, to be heard and feel understood. In my practice, I don’t just offer therapy; I offer a committed partnership in care with a specialized skill set, expert guidance, and empathetic support.

Life can be overwhelming and sometimes we get "stuck" and need help navigating our way through tough obstacles. Therapy helps people identify, evaluate and solve problems effectively. We will work together to set goals, examine difficulties and find realistic solutions that provide relief and clarity. I utilize a warm interactive approach to treatment and incorporate empathy, honesty, and a sense of humor to create a comfortable environment. Because the way we think impacts the way we feel, individuals are taught skills to identify, challenge and modify negative thinking. In my work with couples, I provide strategies to improve communication, manage conflict and solidify trust.
