Therapist

Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating.

I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Philadelphia

Finding family therapists in Philadelphia starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family counseling may help when families are navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, mother-son counseling concerns, or communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for experience with family counselling and therapy, group and family therapies, or approaches that match your needs, such as structural family therapy or family systems work.

Philadelphia has many therapists across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, and Fishtown, which can make the search feel harder to narrow. Consider whether in-person sessions near transit, school, or work would fit your family’s schedule, or whether virtual appointments would make it easier for more family members to attend. Session structure can also vary. Some appointments may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, or individual members. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist handles family problem counselling, communication style, appointment availability, and free phone consultations.

Family therapy and consultation services in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
