therapy for individuals, couples, & families in the Philadelphia Area
our therapists are here to help you navigate all of life’s challenges
Individual therapy
You’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin—but you know something needs to change. You're carrying the weight of past experiences, struggling in your relationships, or dealing with challenges to your mental health that feel hard to put into words. We’re here to help. Our approach is grounded in research and tailored to your unique story. We create a safe, supportive space where your healing can begin—one that thoughtfully considers your upbringing, life experiences, relationships, and mental health along the way.
couples therapy
You’re feeling disconnected, stuck in repeating arguments, or unsure if your relationship can recover after a major change or breach of trust. Maybe something has shifted—starting a family, moving, changing careers, or facing financial strain—and now you’re questioning how to move forward together. Couples therapy offers a space to make sense of what’s happening and explore the best path ahead. We’ll work with you to strengthen understanding, rebuild connection, and support your relationship in whatever direction feels right for both of you.
family therapy
Family relationships can feel strained, tense, or distant—especially when conflict keeps repeating, communication breaks down, or old wounds continue to resurface. You might be struggling with parenting challenges, cultural differences, or shifting roles as children grow into adults. These dynamics can leave everyone feeling misunderstood or stuck in painful patterns. Family therapy offers a space to address what’s not working and begin creating healthier ways of relating. Using a variety of family systems approaches, we help families strengthen connection, improve communication, and break generational cycles that no longer serve them.
intensive therapy
If you’re feeling stuck, in crisis, or like weekly therapy just isn’t moving fast enough, Intensive Therapy may be the right next step. When life feels overwhelming—whether due to unresolved trauma, relationship ruptures, or major life transitions—sometimes you need more than an hour a week to truly make progress. Our intensives offer a focused, immersive experience over two to three full days, creating space for deeper healing and lasting change. We work with couples navigating infidelity, communication breakdowns, or long distance, and with individuals ready to process trauma or move through a painful chapter of their lives with greater support.
additional services
In addition to the traditional therapies, our therapists offer group therapies, walk & talk therapy, and eco-therapy sessions throughout the year.
As licensed clinicians, we also offer both individual and group supervision for pre-licensed therapist seeking LMFT and LPC licensure in PA and NJ
