I have lived experience and professional specialization in maternal mental health, relationships, adult ADHD, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Other common stressors and themes that clients and I work through are life transitions, parenting challenges, job and career dissatisfaction, grief, loss, and overall sense of feeling not “good enough.”
As a bilingual and bicultural therapist providing services in both English and Spanish, I offer a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space where adults can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, and major life transitions.
I believe that healing begins within a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will explore how past experiences may be impacting your current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self while building practical tools to help you move forward.
Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.
I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.
I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).
Welcome! I'm here to offer you a safe space to work through past or current trauma, anxiety, or depression.
I have over a decade of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and consider myself a lifelong learner. As a therapist who has been in therapy, I have seen the benefits in my personal and professional life.
I received my bachelor’s of arts degree in psychology from West Chester University and my Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been helping children, teenagers, and adults for over 25 years. My primary areas of specialization are anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem and coping, and ADHD. I believe we all are doing the best we can every day. I provide an open, supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to be your authentic self. I focus on collaboration and each client's individuality and strengths.
Hi! My name is Mara, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have spent the last 15 years learning how to see, understand, and support people from all different walks of life. I specialize in working with adults, and have special areas of interest in working with those who see themselves as neurodiverse. I received my Master's Degree through the University of the Cumberlands in Kentucky, and was able to complete hands-on training at West Virginia University in their embedded counseling services on the Health Sciences Campus.
Hi there! I'm Dr. Sean. I help people break out of vicious cycles and build a life they love to live.
I work with individuals from birth to age 30, and their families. My specialty is treating ADHD and other complex issues for which help is often hard to find.
In addition to my doctoral training, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Geisinger in pediatric psychology (2014). I am a licensed psychologist in PA and NY.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with grief and loss, the impact of a medical diagnosis and parenting issues. I have worked with children and families in a medical setting for over 20 years. I have also worked closely with individuals and families who have been touched by cancer. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and respect. I believe you are the expert of your life. We are all unique and have our own strengths.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding postpartum therapists in Philadelphia starts with choosing someone whose experience matches the support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training in perinatal mental health, listed experience with pregnancy and postpartum care, or credentials like PMH-C, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their approach, who they commonly work with, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a large city like Philadelphia, the number of options can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person care near Center City, South Philly, West Philly, or another neighborhood, especially when factoring in transit, parking, or time between appointments. Virtual therapy can also be a practical option for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to help you decide if the fit is right.
Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find postpartum therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can review therapist bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
