PHL Therapy Collective is a client-focused, affirming private practice in Center City Philadelphia that specializes in seeing the bigger picture and the many systemic elements to anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, life changes, and sexuality. With a holistic understanding of mental health, our focus is on supporting you with the changes that are possible in a therapeutic relationship separate from whatever medication needs you may have.
Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. I believe therapy is political and I don’t shy away from the impact that our government’s history, its policies, and practices have on our mental health. Together, we'll explore the intersections of your experiences and identities as we work to reach your goals.
Therapist at CHRIS work with clients through compassion and understanding that each person, family, or couple has their own unique experiences, insight, and needs with reference to therapy.
Relationships matter to me, including the relationship that I build with my clients. Whether I am working with individuals or with couples, I aim to create a space where my clients feel cared for and seen. It is my hope that the nurture that my clients experience in our sessions will transform their understanding of themselves, their lives, and their relationships. It is always a joy for me when my clients share the ways that they integrate their new insight with new actions to create lives that they enjoy.
We are a group of therapists who believe in our clients' ability to heal and find balance. We have the expertise and awareness to help facilitate the journey! Each of us bring warmth, compassion, and our own unique sparkle to the session - whether that's a great pun, ecotherapy, a well-timed dog interruption, you name it. It would be an honor to work with you as you find your path forward!
Reflecting on one's past, recognizing present strengths, and setting goals for the future can be instrumental in achieving the life one desires. As a licensed professional counselor and certified professional recovery coach, I work closely with my clients to develop a personalized plan that meets their unique needs. I build genuine relationships with my clients based on trust and empathy. My comprehensive approach provides individuals with a safe and inclusive environment to explore their personal and professional aspirations. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel heard and understood.
I specialize in working with clients who want to understand themselves better. Do you think you have ADHD? Were you diagnosed with ADHD as a child but have never really understood what that meant for you? Do fears about your health or performance disrupt your life? Do you feel that your brain never wants to quiet down?
These are many of the topics I cover with my clients. Together, we'll work to understand your worries, your executive functioning skills, and create new, effective coping skills.
My experience working with neurodiversity allows me to work with a wide range of clients. We will work together to create a supportive and challenging therapeutic relationship, in order to create a space for growth to occur. Examining helpful and unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving will allow us to understand your complex narrative.
