Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Pennsylvania

I am a Philly-based licensed professional counselor (LPC) and board-certified art therapist (ART-BC) in the state of Pennsylvania. I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety Disorders. I use the evidence-based practice of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to support clients in gaining control over their anxiety. I also incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as mindfulness skills to further support treatment.

Welcome! I work individually with teens and adults who are struggling with life stressors, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions and behavior change. I have over ten years of experience working as a counselor. I utilize evidence based therapy modalities, such as CBT and motivational interviewing. When I'm not counseling clients, I am hanging out with my kids, husband, dog and two cats. I love reading, hiking, conquering my goals in the gym and going to concerts. Please email or call to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit. I'd love to help!

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having a safe space to explore, process, and grow. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as you are, knowing that this is a judgment-free zone where we work together to help you feel more in control of your life. I understand how overwhelming anxiety, self-doubt, and big life changes can be, and I also know that you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Welcome! Examining life is like inspecting a car, each part — the engine, wheels, and brakes, are components interacting to ensure smooth operation. Changes in one part affect the entire driving experience, much like shifts and challenges in specific aspects of our lives impact our overall functioning. As a holistic-based therapist with a focus on a systems theory lens, I approach therapy by considering the entirety of the individual. Acknowledging the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, we will delve into multiple factors that can profoundly influence your overall health.

As a queer, non-binary, and neurodiverse person, I understand how it feels to navigate the normative systems in place and how powerful a dedicated, non-judgmental therapy space can be for managing emotions, exploring your inner landscape, and building up new ways of living. It's important to me to show up as an ally for my clients as they do the heavy and potentially joyful work of examining deeply-rooted patterns and rebuilding a life they feel good about. I strive to bring a warm and strengths-focused approach to all my work, and have experience supporting folks with concerns ranging from trauma to mood disorders, neurodivergence to identity exploration, and good old anxiety in hospital, university, and outpatient settings

Hi i'm Sam (she/her), so great you are considering if I would be a good fit. I like to describe my approach as a counselor as a humanistic approach.

I primarily practice through the lense of mindfulness and self compassion, although I have specialized training in several areas associated with treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Eating Disorders. I hope you'll reach out to consider scheduling a consultation to see if i'd be a good fit for your needs.

Hi, I'm Morgan! As a compassionate clinician with a background in Art Therapy and Counseling, I am dedicated to assisting children, adolescences, and families in resolving internal conflicts and promoting self-confidence.  Art Therapy is a safe way to explore prominent themes of identity, trauma, emotion regulation, and self-esteem. Art therapy interventions that promote creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. No previous art experience is required as each session is about the process, not the product's quality. My art therapy specialization encourages collaboration, goal-setting, and focusing on individual strengths while acknowledging the challenges you hope to overcome. I specialize in working alongside individuals that have experienced various behavioral, emotional, and psychosocial circumstances. I have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ populations coping with complex trauma, suicidal ideations, and self-injurious behaviors. Individuals of all ages face interpersonal conflicts, and I aim to provide a comforting, warm, and non-judgmental environment promoting insight and self-empowerment.
