I bring a warm, grounded and approachable presence to therapy. Clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to and that I create a space where they feel understood rather than judged. As someone who balances many roles in my own life, I understand what it feels like to carry stress, navigate transitions, and show up for others while trying to take care of yourself. That lived perspective helps me connect with clients who are overwhelmed, burnt out, or searching for clarity and stability.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Speech and Hearing Disorders and my master's degree in Professional Counseling. I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor and Program Director in community mental health, where I oversee clinicians, strengthen treatment programs, and support whole-person care across school, home and community settings. This background gives me a solid understanding of both the emotional and practical challenges people face.
I work with adults, teens, caregivers, parents, college students, and helping professionals. Some of the treatment areas I frequently support include:
- Anxiety and stress
- Depression
- Trauma-related experiences
- Grief and loss
- Burnout and compassion fatigue
- Life transitions
- Self-Esteem
- Relationship and family patterns
I have my Master of Social Work from New York University and have worked in Social Services and Behavioral Healthcare for more than 26 years between New York City and Philadelphia. I offer individual therapy to support my clients in their work to live their best lives, whatever that means to them. I have experience working in inpatient psychiatry and outpatient counseling.
Let’s be honest — life doesn’t come with a manual. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone.
Hi, I’m Tammy — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore or a courtroom. It’s more like a conversation with someone who really gets it (and happens to be trained in evidence-based strategies that actually work).
Hello! As a licensed professional counselor, I want to help you achieve your best self. Asking for help can be difficult, so it's great that you are looking into getting help. I have been in practice for 10 years and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.

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.
