Female therapists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania PA
Carrie Askin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and in order for therapy to help you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and more safety.
I'm easy to sit with. I like people and I'm funny. My clients tell me that they feel like they can tell me anything. You won't learn too much about me personally but you'll know a lot about who I am because the therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us. That means that I'll have thoughts and reactions and I'll share them kindly and carefully.
You'll get to know yourself better and that will mean that you can feel more connected to other people. Most of the people who work with me find that their relationships with others are stronger and more satisfying and that they feel less shame, fear and sadness. We all deserve relief from our burdens.

Kerry Hill
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
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.

Sarah Epstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sarah is now accepting new virtual and in-person clients for February 2023!
My clients are caregivers who feel anxious, depressed, and utterly burned-out from giving so much of themselves. They often identify as the peacemakers in their families and friend groups. Many lived through childhoods where they were the "mature" child and were expected to be low maintenance. Many of my clients struggle chronically with family relationships. Many struggle to identify and go after what they want professionally and personally. They may struggle to separate their wisehs from what is expected of them or will make them look impressive.
My clients also come in as families wanting to work through long-standing conflict and issues that keep them interacting in predictable, patterned ways.
Finally, I treat trauma and emotional distress using EMDR therapy.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Raelea Webster
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPC
As a cancer survivor, over five years in remission, I know what it's like to feel the floor completely ripped from under you. Sometimes we have this vision of what we think our lives will look like and then...life happens. It could be an illness, a breakup, a move, loss of a loved one or a job, the list goes on. Therapy can offer you a place to set some of that baggage down, allow a time for break, time to sift through all of it, and hopefully leave the session feeling a little lighter. Therapy may not take it all away, but it can make the load more manageable to carry.
