About Darlene
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I follow a Cognitive-Behavioral orientation to therapy, which focuses on how thoughts affect the way people feel and act. It involves recognizing negative patterns of thinking and reacting, then modifying or replacing these with more realistic or helpful ones. I approach therapy in an active, collaborative manner. With your collaboration, I will tailor the therapy process to meet the goals and needs of each individual. I believe that the ultimate goal for the therapy process is to become healthier and experience a more satisfying and fulfilling lifestyle. Life is a process of growth and change that may lead to challenges and difficulties. Individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons, ranging from trying to cope with everyday life stressors to chronic mental illness. My experience of taking patient’s through their lifespan has led me to extensive experience in co-parenting counseling and working with children coping with divorce.

Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor
About Michael
I work with individuals and couples with a variety of challenges. My style of therapy includes researched and evidence based practices, such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I utilize the art of therapy to meet someone where they are in their current struggle. I then help them identify and remove the barriers holding them back from living the life they want. I also believe identifying strengths, life dreams, and goals are important for positive change and desired growth. I want to identify dreams for people to run toward rather than pain from which to run. While I have experience helping others cope with a variety of life challenges, my areas of specialty include Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Anger, Grief/Loss, and Transitions in life. I believe in the resiliency of human nature and the importance of providing a safe, honest, collaborative, and validating environment that can promote growth and change while lessening pain.

About Anna
Sometimes, change can have a major impact on our mood and well being. Sometimes, life is just downright difficult. Although everyone has a unique story, many people struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and mood swings. In other words, you are not alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate through different life stages, while staying mindful and present. Our work together can help embolden you to process what’s happened to you in the past so that you are better equipped to manage the future. I will work with you to examine your thoughts and feelings on a deep level and we can investigate: how are these affecting your behavior? Your relationships? And as opposed to just listening, I actively work with clients to create goals and monitor progress so that they are always moving forward. I am a Philly native and received my master’s degree from Hunter College in NYC.

resiliency.

About Julia
Are you having challenges managing your child’s behaviors? Do you feel as though your child’s tantrums or current difficulties are impacting your quality of life or are negatively affecting your family? Are you finding yourself avoiding situations that could possible trigger a tantrum or a negative reaction? It is common for parents to feel variety of emotions such as feeling exasperated, fatigued, irritable, on-edge, guilty, and isolated/alone due to the struggles of child-rearing. Oftentimes these challenges can create tension in the household and take away from the joyful moments of parenting. My goal is to try and alleviate your distress through providing you and your family unconditional positive regard and specific interventions to target challenging behaviors. Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidenced-based parenting program for children between the ages of 2 and 7 years old whom experience similar challenges. This manualized treatment teaches caregivers play therapy techniques to help the parent-child relationship as well as discipline strategies to improve behavioral challenges.
My academic training has been grounded in the use of evidence-based cognitive behavioral (CBT) practice which I use with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy. I also implement interventions from other modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I have treated individuals with varying disorders such as depression, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, classroom difficulties, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I like to take a person-centered, individualistic approach to therapy. It is important to me that my clients feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout treatment.

About Danielle
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and children. My theoretical orientation and training focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic interventions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the way our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors affect each other. I enjoy working with adults and children managing symptoms related to OCD, anxiety, and depression. I have extensive experience working with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP/EXRP) interventions to address all subtypes of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). ERP is a behavioral approach to treatment and is the “gold standard” for treating OCD and other anxieties. I also have experience working with a wide variety of life challenges from mild stressful events to major life changes as well as chronic mental illnesses. Through my clinical experiences and training, I have developed an approach to counseling that focuses on the whole person, exploring areas of need to develop personal goals. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment to collaborate with those I work with to develop a path towards positive change by processing experiences to promote self-awareness and self-insight. I provide challenges and interventions to further encourage this positive change. I believe that the better we understand ourselves, the more equipped we are to make effective changes that last.

About Bally
Through my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide treatment to children, teenagers, adults, and families, focusing on my clients’ strengths to help them to establish meaningful relationships and pursue fulfilling lives. Trust and collaboration set the foundation of the therapeutic process, and so it is vital for me to meet my clients where they are as we work together to individualize treatment based upon their unique qualities and experiences.
My therapeutic style is grounded in a range of evidence-based practices, and can be described as humanistic, existential, relational, and trauma-informed. Across nearly a decade of therapeutic experience, I have had many opportunities to support those presenting with a history of trauma, grief, sensory and sleeping difficulties, anxiety, irritability, ADHD, relationship conflict, and other significant life stressors.
I have received specialized training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), which has refined my skills in providing developmentally appropriate interventions, facilitating open communication in relationships, and holding a safe space for clients to navigate uncomfortable truths and unknowns.
I work to integrate holistic values and mental health in an ever-changing society based upon the belief that there is no one way of healing, and that it is not often a linear process. This allows flexibility for creative interventions beyond traditional talk-therapy, including via art, mindfulness, play, and movement.
As a certified yoga teacher, I also regularly practice the skills I teach, understanding the challenge as well as the impact these strategies can have. This allows me to be fully present in my work with clients as we explore thoughts, emotions, and memories, to develop an understanding of our responses to the world around us through curiosity and compassion.
