Therapists in Northwood, Philadelphia, PA

Hi there! I am a queer and amicably separated co-parent, LGBTQ and relationship-minority (CNM/Poly/Relationship Anarchy) affirming therapist, and a body and sex-positive human. I understand that identity and relationship shifts can make you feel unsteady, lost, and lonely. Maybe none of the traditional relationship blueprints make sense to you anymore, and you need a new road map for your life. Whether you're still figuring out your identity, navigating a new relationship dynamic, need support with amicable co-parenting, or just want a listening ear to help you make sense of life's plot twists, I'm here.

Welcome to Cognitive Behavior Institute! We are committed to providing the best care possible through established treatment methods. These treatment methods are proven to be effective for a wide range of mental health diagnoses and psychological distresses. Cognitive Behavior Institute (CBI) is proud to employ adept licensed clinicians, board-certified psychiatrists, and compassionate administrative staff with diverse experience in their respective fields.

Trauma is stored mentally and physically inside of us. It is not something you can just "get over". You may try to forget it, but this only provides, at best, temporary relief. The path to healing is not through removing the pain of the trauma, but rather through understanding and developing a healthy relationship with it. This is not easy, and can often be long and frightening process, but it can lead to not only a reclaimed sense of self-worth, but a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with the world around you. If any of this resonates with you, we may work well together on your journey to healing and wholeness.

Hi there! I'm Lauren Sandulli, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania. With over 15 years of experience across diverse clinical environments, I've honed my skills in working with a broad spectrum of people and employ an eclectic approach to therapy. My philosophy revolves around meeting clients at their current stage, rather than imposing arbitrary expectations. When meeting new clients, my aim is to alleviate any feelings of overwhelm about their goals, ensuring they feel empowered to progress at their own pace.

I passionately specialize in treating depression and anxiety using a behavioral approach. In the field for 10 years, I have an extensive background working with individuals as well as families. I am warm and genuine. I use a strength-based model to my sessions; when you're ready, we will talk about what is bothering you, but I am also interested to learn about the whole-you. You are not defined by your struggles, but together, we may discover valuable lessons to take from them. My patients receive 110% of my full attention and consideration. Join me for a free 1 hour session.

My work focuses on making sense of what feels complex, placing it into words, and meaningful action. This can include struggling to balance personal wants and expectations of others, conflict due to living in dual cultures, trauma from substance abuse, racism, or worry and sadness. I provide therapy that is conversational with feedback, humor, curiosity, and partnership. The work we do together will consider all sociopolitical factors, community, beliefs, abilities, and all that is inherently important and has impacted you because who you are and what you need, reaches beyond your emotions.

I am experienced in working with individuals seeking treatment for mood disorders, codependency, substance use disorders, and other life challenges. I have also had success in working with the supporters and caregivers of those in treatment or recovery.

My style is using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and discussing current stressors, identifying triggers and core beliefs that cause distortions, looking at what you can and cannot change, using Distress Tolerance and a Wise Mind as well as setting boundaries and using assertive communication. I also support clients who choose to use their faith as a coping tool and incorporate prayer and seeking guidance from a higher power if that is important to them. I assist clients in identifying resources in the community and other support systems to help them reach their goals.

My ideal client struggles with unstable relationships, constant emotional ups and downs, and self-destructive behavior. They face insecurity, fear of abandonment, and intense mood swings, leading to strained personal and professional connections. They need emotional regulation, self-worth, and healthier relationship dynamics. Their goals are stability, self-understanding, and improved interactions, seeking these changes for inner peace, fulfilling relationships, and a balanced life. Through therapy, they aim to break destructive patterns, build resilience, and create a supportive network.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience working with clients up to 80 years old. I value supporting each client with where they are and working with them through any issues that they encounter during their life journey. I believe in partnering with each client and walking alongside them through the healing journey.

I'm real, down to earth, approachable, and I use humor in our sessions. I don't think therapy should be stale, cold, or sterile. You’ll see that I practice with a nonjudgmental and transformation in mind while sprinkling a lot of compassion all around. I may have gone through lengthy and specific training/education to be in the role I am but that doesn’t make me any better than you or the “expert” of your life. You’re the expert of your life and I have the skill set to help guide you to make meaningful changes in your life. You’ll leave our sessions with practical skills to help you manage the difficult issues you are facing.

Welcome! If you are looking for a safe, yet light-hearted space, to explore everything from your childhood to your present struggles, successes, quirks, hopes, and more - I'm your girl! I welcome humor and sarcasm as a coping tool, am very open-minded and accepting (so, no topic is off-limits or "too weird/silly/embarrassing/etc.!), do not shy away from the deep/dark topics, and love to creatively integrate your interests into the therapeutic process!
