In Person Therapists in Kingsessing, Philadelphia, PA

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was a teenager and I still can’t imagine doing anything else. It is such a great privilege to hear your life stories. I think it takes a lot of bravery to walk into my office and share your inner thoughts and feelings with me, especially if you haven’t experienced a lot of empathic listening in your life. As a fellow frequenter of the couch myself, I know how hard it can be! And also, how deeply meaningful. Through my own journey of healing from trauma and witnessing profound transformations in my clients, I bring more than just clinical tools to the therapeutic process.

To imagine an ideal client, I’d imagine someone that is open and willing to take an honest look at themselves; have a willingness to commit to building a safe space to heal and someone that can work remotely. They want someone who brings good energy to the space and they want to feel valued and heard.

I truly believe the most rewarding journey is Inward. Through Going Inward Wellness, I offer people the opportunity to take off their cool in a safe space; together we work to peel back their labels, roles, vices and past hurts so that they may be fully present and seen. I work with clients to help them better manage stress; manage depression symptoms; manage anxiety; process life transitions; and process existential questions. In addition, I support clients grieving from from the loss of a loved one, the loss of a role or the loss of status.

In each of my therapy sessions, I seek to give the right support for clients to talk about the things that really matter. I listen carefully and engage deeply so I can provide the feedback and reflection you need to find your path forward with more clarity and confidence. I use my knowledge and experience to help you connect the dots and realize you are not alone. I believe change comes in small steps and I'm here to support you and to celebrate every victory.

The best way to describe my treatment approach: unconventional. There aren't very many life circumstances that I have not experienced; I do not judge. With me, you have a safe space to explore; a space to delve deep into the person you are now, how you became this person and who you wish to become. What is your dream life? Are your relationships fulfilling? What life do you want for your children? Why haven't you forgiven yourself? Lets talk; revisiting our pain is difficult but, necessary.

The goal of therapy is to develop a connected relationship with an empathic professional that helps alleviate any issues that the client wants to work on. A client should expect a respectful and creative environment in which they can safely explore their needs and wants. Some people believe that they are not worthy of help or are ashamed of what seeking help means about themselves. Therapy is there for anyone who wants to use it, from people who just need a boost through a troubled time to people seeking long term work examining patterns and habits that interfere with their hope and happiness.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a psychologist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Through collaboration, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Does it seem like you're stuck repeating the same patterns over and over? Are you working hard to manage negative thoughts and painful emotions? Whether these struggles are related to current circumstances or rooted in trauma and other past issues, I can help. I work with individuals and couples to process painful experiences, change limiting thought patterns and faulty beliefs, better manage emotions, and repair relationships. I believe therapy changes lives. It allows people to peel back the layers of their difficult experiences to gain understanding, change and grow, and embrace the future with greater joy and hope.

I offer a free first session, so that you can get a sense of how I work and see if we are a good fit. I provide Tele-health therapy for clients in both California and Pennsylvania. Therapy provides a space to speak freely and be heard with care that can provide a person with more internal space for lived experience, emotion, thought and desire. In psychotherapy, you can express your thoughts and feelings and gain insight into the unconscious sources of your conflicts. With warmth and curiosity, I will provide an attentive ear and a thoughtful mind.

I enjoy working with people who are often considered outsiders, those challenge the established norms of our society, in their pursuit of a more holistic future for themselves and our world. This includes activists, educators, artists, fellow mental health professionals, writers, musicians, and those who live in ways unique to themselves. A throughline of my work revolves around the realm of disabilities, many of which remain unrecognized by others. I believe that disability advocacy requires working through issues of power, autonomy, social inequality, and environment.

Hi everyone. I'm Gwen White, Director for Circle Counseling. When you call our number you will be talking to me. I will help you to make a connection with a therapist best suited for you. We have been serving Philadelphia for 27 years. If you go to our website, you can get a look at our partners and learn more about us.

A great deal of my professional practice has been working with individuals, groups, couples and families, substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I understand that no single approach is the right one for everyone & it is important to meet each person where they are. I believe it is important to tailor the therapy approach to each individual. As such, I use various approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Therapy, EMDR, Person-Centered, & Gottman Method for couples therapy. Let me help you get unstuck & develop skills to improve in the ways you would like. I am currently offering IOP and PHP groups.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming when seeking therapy, but that is where I come in. I view the Psychotherapy process as a team effort where we work together to work through your trauma or relationship problems. I love building a rapport with my couples to work through the healing process together.

My highest therapeutic priority is the relationship I establish with the patients I treat. I describe the ideal connection as safe, non-judgmental, and mutually accountable and consider these factors to be instrumental to a person’s healing and recovery. My capacity to embrace all walks of life and ability to help humans feel comfortable in their own skin has made my long standing career as a therapist full and dynamic. I bring comprehensive, therapeutic skills to my practice. I am thoroughly skilled and experienced to treat depression, substance abuse and personality disorders.

Choosing to work through one's past, relationships, or current challenges can be a tough and bold decision toward empowerment. I believe we all hold the insight and strength we need and that it may take time to figure how to access these tools. It is my goal to work alongside you in this process. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to allow exploration, connection and creativity in therapy.

My work is especially helpful to those suffering from depression and the loss of loved ones whether its via death, or divorce/separation. I first address a re-focusing on the love of self and move outwards, because without developing or healing our true love of self, we can't effectively love others.
