Find A Therapist Near You In Philadelphia, PA

People choose us for several reasons. Our warm, engaging, and empathic therapists help create a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.

We prioritize active listening, cultivating insight, and collaboratively developing strategies that lead to meaningful change.

Additionally, we offer a range of specialized services such as individual counseling, couples therapy, group therapy, and hypnosis & hypnotherapy.

Lastly, our therapists are experts in sought-after and specialty areas, including anxiety treatment, trauma therapy, grief counseling, pain management, and pregnancy loss therapy.

Picking the ‘right’ therapy treatment approach (also referred to as ‘theoretical orientation’) can depend on your diagnosis and treatment needs. It also is based on personality and your sense of what you want out of the therapeutic process.

If you have past experience with therapy, this may also help give you a sense of what you want (or don’t want) out of a therapeutic approach. Certain diagnoses may lend themselves better to specific treatments, which you can discuss with your therapist.

However, we view each client holistically and believe in nuanced decisions in how to approach the work. Often an integrative approach to therapy can be helpful.

Each of our therapists sets their own fees, and these are based on degree, years of experience, and areas of specialization.  In general, the fees range from $140-$290, depending on who you work with.  Generally, masters level therapists and pre-licensed (e.g. predoctoral interns and post-doctoral psychologists) and early career licensed psychologists charge between $140-$200 a session; whereas licensed psychologists with five or more years of postdoctoral experience charge $200 and above per session.

We are an out-of-network fee for service practice, which means that you pay in full for the therapy session at the time of your appointment. We don’t directly participate with insurance and we don’t accept co-pays.

At the same time, we want to make the insurance process as easy as possible for clients. With your authorization, we can electronically submit the claim for your sessions to your insurance company, which saves you the hassle of mailing in a claim and expedites the reimbursement process. Keep in mind that whether or how much you are reimbursed by your insurance depends on your plan.

Another nice perk of working with us is that if you have an HSA plan through work, you can use your HSA card to pay for treatment which allows you to use pre-tax savings.

Your therapist will ask you questions about your reason(s) for seeking therapy and presenting concerns. They will follow up as necessary in response to your answers. A portion of the session will also be spent learning about who you are: your personality, background, and family and relationship history.

An important part of the first session is seeing if you and your therapist are a good match in terms of personality style and approach to treatment.

At the end of the session, your therapist will suggest a plan of treatment going forward. If for some reason it doesn’t appear to be a good fit, they will make suggestions for referrals to alternative therapists.

There are a couple of answers to this question. First, therapy is working when people feel meaningfully better – that is, they feel better consistently over time.

Second, when people feel like they are developing and learning new skills, competencies and masteries that they are implementing in their life.

Lastly, the process of therapy feels helpful in and of itself – you can just tell from your alliance with your therapist and how you feel during and after the therapy session that something useful is happening.
