Grief Therapists in Poplar, Philadelphia, PA

I treat clients with a "team" approach. Together, we help you to feel happier, reduce your suffering, understand patterns that get you "stuck" in life and help with making life feel more balanced. I believe that with mindfulness, learning how to be more kind to yourself, and being open to new perspectives, you have the power to change anything within you in your present day life, including unwholesome habits and increasing self esteem. I have formal training and personal experience in mindfulness meditation and other grounding tools to help with reducing anxiety and stress and increasing joy and contentment in your life.

I am a licensed therapist and provide individual therapy to adults. I offer a warm and supportive therapeutic approach during sessions in order to provide a space for clients to feel safe and comfortable. I encourage openness so that we can explore your thoughts and emotions together in session.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life, or held back by painful experiences from the past, you do not have to face life's challenges alone. I view therapy as a collaborative process which is built upon openness, understanding, and hope. I believe the most important relationship you have is with yourself. Therefore, my work with clients centers around developing a healthy sense of self in order to manage life’s difficulties more easily. My goal is to provide an environment where you will feel safe to express yourself, to be heard, to heal, and to explore the possibilities for making lasting changes.

I am a L.P.C. with a MS degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling. I believe that it is helpful to bring your spiritual beliefs into the healing process. Starting psychotherapy is the beginning of feeling at home with yourself. It is a place where you can feel safe, grounded and secure, as you explore the difficult areas in your life that you may not want to face alone. Therapy can help you identify unhealthy thinking, and break destructive patterns, so you can make better choices. It also helps you to discover your own inner strengths that can bring deeper healings from within. We are all a work in progress!

I wholeheartedly believe and trust that each person is uniquely resilient and has the capacity to heal from trauma. As a therapist, my passion lies in helping people regain safety and security in their mind and body after experiencing trauma. In treatment, I will support you in rebuilding authentic relationships to yourself, others, and the world around you. Much of my experience entails working with physical and sexual trauma, grief, racial trauma, and relationship challenges. In my practice, I primarily work with female-identifying people of color.

I am a Nigerian Mental Health Counselor who employs a collaborative and client-centered approach in her work with clients. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, art therapy, feminist therapy, multicultural, and trauma-informed interventions to support and empower clients toward increased self-awareness and healthy coping skills.

I believe that people are naturally resilient, possessing a deep well of inner strength. Every experience, past and present, is relevant to therapeutic work, and I strive to create a collaborative space to explore the things that weigh us all down. I approach each session with empathy, curiosity and an open mind, and encourage you to approach your own relationships, thoughts, and day-to-day life the same way. My relational approach to therapy is strongly rooted in the psychodynamic tradition, integrating narrative, DBT, and mindfulness techniques to meet the specific needs of each person I work with.

Change, life transitions and loss can be difficult. Life can often become overwhelming or easy to feel “stuck.” Have you tried traditional “talk therapy” before and found that it did not work for you? I use my trainings to integrate evidence-based and holistic techniques that incorporate Mindfulness, somatic interventions and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help you recognize your unique strengths, values and abilities to help you achieve your goals and create lasting, meaningful relationships.

I am an eating disorder and body image therapist committed to supporting clients heal their relationships with food and their bodies.

Some other areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD and self-esteem issues.

Are you having trouble feeling seen or heard? 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.

While the decision to seek therapy can be life changing, finding a compassionate therapist you genuinely connect with can be a daunting task. I offer a safe, empathic, and judgment-free space to explore what matters to you. Treatment is collaborative, strength-based, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I partner with each person I work with to find the best possible treatment approach, while empowering you to make meaningful, lasting change. You are the expert in your own life!

You are feeling overwhelmed w/ anxiety, sad, & irritable because your thoughts won't let you rest. New transitions, grief, trauma, burn out or stress left you feeling stuck. Traits o/ imposter syndrome birthed self doubt & overthinking. If not showing up for you while presenting for others has you drained, then its time to prioritize your needs while healing at your own pace. Life doesn't come with a manual neither do you, but with patience & individualized plan the journey to evolution is limitless. Balancing life has its struggles when you are trying to advocate & positively learn about you! Take back control & emit your MAGIC!

However you show up, my bottom line is to provide a safe, respectful, and validating space where you are listened to without assumptions, judgement, or an agenda. I have diverse practice experiences that taught me to listen beyond words and look beyond appearances. My trainings in art and music allow me to do so with greater agility and accuracy, bringing us closer to your inner voice and shedding light on your inner world. This foundation of human-to-human understanding will help us work together as partners to reach your goals - whether it is healing, growth, self-exploration, or change - with a deep sense of clarity and peace.

As a black woman I know what it means to provide a safe space, healing, and comfort for everyone else except yourself. As a black woman I know what it means to put everyone else’s needs before your own, and to keep going even when you have nothing left to give. As a black woman I know the importance of carrying the “strong black woman” label with you. But what if I told you that being strong could have a different meaning than what you have been taught? What if I told you that being strong could also mean putting your needs first and making time for yourself?
