Hello! I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 10 years following a fun career in the theater world. I combine clinical knowledge and skill with more creative techniques to offer a personalized experience to each of my clients. I primarily work with those who want to gain insight to their behavior and relationships, overcome anxiety or depression symptoms, and develop a stronger sense of self and confidence.
Hello! I am a nurse practitioner (NP) who is experienced in both Psychiatry and Primary Care. Before graduating with my MSN and Adult Primary Care NP program in 2015, I was a RN for 9 years in the hospital setting. While working in Psychiatry starting in 2022, I decided to pursue my Post-Master’s certification in Psychiatric Mental Health NP and graduated in April of 2024.
Zakiyyah Muhsin-Fall
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • King of Prussia, PA
Zakiyyah Muhsin-Fall is a board-certified psychiatric-mental health and family nurse practitioner who treats clients across the lifespan with various mental health and behavioral issues. She works with clients of all ages and treats client with mood , addiction medicine and various mental health disorders include but not limited to bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, anxiety, panic disorder and sleep disturbance.
I specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.
Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience in community behavioral health and private practice. I work with adults, couples, and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, parenting challenges, and emotional stress.
Much of my work focuses on helping people who feel stuck in relationships or caught in patterns they don’t know how to change. This may include recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, difficulty communicating needs, boundary challenges, or uncertainty about how to move forward. I also work with individuals whose anxiety, depression, or stress is closely connected to relationship dynamics, major life changes, or feeling overwhelmed by competing demands.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and conversational. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and family-systems perspectives. Rather than simply giving advice, I work with clients to better understand what's happening beneath the surface, recognize patterns, develop practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes that fit their goals and values.
Clients often describe me as approachable, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what's going on while also feeling supported and gently challenged when it may help you move forward.
As a psychotherapist, I believe personal growth happens when people have a safe place to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I work with individuals 18+. I have been a counselor for 10 years and opened up my private practice over 7 years ago. I am here to guide you on your journey to healing and self-discovery.
“I don't even know what I'd say.”
If that is what is stopping you, you are exactly who I work with. Maybe you are anxious and cannot name why. Maybe your feelings come faster than you can handle. Maybe you have tried therapy and left feeling like you failed at it.
You didn't. It just wasn't built for you.
So we start differently. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we move or create. Then we build skills that hold up when things get hard.
The goal is not to make you easier. It is to help you feel more like yourself.
My name is Chami and I do my best to create a warm space for my clients. I got my M.Ed at Temple University, and their emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and affirming treatment is deeply rooted in my own practice. I have spent my therapy experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, working with people who struggle with things like addiction, abusive relationships, mood disorders, and trauma.
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.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding the right therapist in Philadelphia starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for support with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, or whether you'd benefit from a broader conversation with a licensed provider. Therapists hold different credentials — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or PsyD — and many specialize in specific approaches or populations. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your options faster.
Philadelphia offers a wide range of mental health care providers across neighborhoods like Center City, University City, Fishtown, and South Philadelphia. When comparing providers, look at their training, areas of focus, and whether they offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and what to expect in a first session.
Cost is one of the most common barriers to starting therapy, but using your insurance can make a significant difference. Many Philadelphia-area providers accept major insurance plans, which can bring your per-session cost down considerably. On Headway, you can verify your insurance and see an estimated session cost before you book — so you know what to expect from the start.
