Family Systems Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Are you looking for couples therapy or individual therapy? If you are in a couple, are your fights leaving you feeling hurt and disconnected?

I will teach you how to fix it so you can have the relationship you feel proud of. Couples who work with me enjoy a better connection and a better sex life. And they maintain it. I'm a sex therapist who combines the Gottman method, EFT, and biology to learn what the problem is and teach you your solution.

Hi! I'm Sara, a sex and relationship therapist in the Philadelphia area. I offer individual, relationship, and sex therapy that helps clients strengthen their relationships with their loved ones and themselves. I specialize in addressing anxiety related to insecure attachment and its impact on relational conflict and self-worth. Working with clients to foster self-love and build emotional safety in their relationships is an important part of this process. As an LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, poly-friendly, and kink aware therapist, I welcome and provide a safe space for all identities and relationship styles.

Do you feel anxious most of the time? Perhaps you're trying to get pregnant and the IVF schedule is making your head spin. Maybe you are newly pregnant, but you're nervous about how a baby will change your relationship and sense of self. Or, you're grieving a loss, and you've heard "at least you know you can get pregnant" one too many times. You want to make sense of all the complicated, and often competing, emotions you feel, so that you can let go of what is no longer serving you.

I can help people suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder. I am also capable of assisting patients dealing with anxiety and stress which often lead to these disorders.

How you relate to others is an important part of who you are as a person. While some people feel isolated and alone, others feel stifled and challenged from managing too many close relationships. Many often suffer because they are caught in old patterns of behaving and relating to others. I believe that healing comes from feeling acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness toward yourself. Only then will you be able to direct those same feelings toward others.

My therapy style is informed by my desire to explore, understand, and empower my clients. I am Kink/BDSM, non-monogamy, body neutral and queer aligned. I believe therapy is political and a space where clients can be intentional about their identities. Topics that I particularly enjoy working with include gender affirming care, chronic pain, working through infidelity, aging, navigating multiple racial and cultural identities, and processing sexual trauma.

I provide tangible action items to implement in your life.

I work with clients who are trying to understand how to accept themselves and are looking to create a strong therapeutic relationship with a counselor. I believe that clients who have acknowledged that they need help in certain areas and are looking to put in the work needed to achieve their goals are going to get the most out of our time together.

Let's face it, life isn't easy. How many times have you repressed your thoughts, feelings, and emotions? Do you even know what victory feels like? Are you isolated and alone, or in need of emotional support? Are you having difficulty adjusting to civilian life, or just life in general? Do you even know where to start?

Are you fighting, sulking, avoiding each other? Are you having disagreements about sex, money, housework, having children, raising children, moving, changing jobs? Are you feeling lonely, unloved, rejected, put down, bullied, or henpecked? Are you bored? Are you under pressure from family, health, work, or financial issues?

I act as the sounding board and strong voice to help you become your most sufficient self. With almost a decade of expertise in mental health therapy, I am passionate and committed to being your “advocate” as we collaboratively identify the truth of your distress and help you heal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual and family therapy services.

Therapy can be a vulnerable and formative process, and it is important to find a therapist that feels like a good fit for you! I practice from a relational, social-justice-oriented, trauma-informed, systemic lens. I believe that change comes from authentic connection between a client and a therapist, involvement of a supportive network, and a mutual collaboration around treatment.

My therapy focuses on you and your needs. My job is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you on your journey, making you aware of and exploring things that may hinder your success.

Personal identity also plays a significant role in our lives and sometimes affects mental health.

Dealing with emotional or relationship problems, or perhaps a traumatic life experience alone can be challenging and isolating. There comes a time in many of our lives when getting help from a professional may be imperative. When choosing a therapist, their wisdom, life experience, empathy and connection with you are crucial as they will teach you the skills you need to better manage life. I believe I possess these qualities and impart them in each professional relationship whether it is with an individual, couple or a family. Therapy occurs in a safe and confidential environment.
