How does telehealth therapy work?

Telehealth therapy allows you to connect with our therapists remotely via secure video calls, providing the same level of care as in-person sessions.

What therapy services do you offer?

We offer a range of therapy services including individual counseling, couples therapy, and specialized support for addiction, trauma, and relationship challenges.

What should I expect in my first session?

In the first session, I listen to what brings you in, what has been feeling hard, and what you want to change. We also talk about what support feels right for you and decide on next steps together.

Can I meet in person or online?

Yes. You can choose in-person sessions in the Philadelphia area or secure telehealth visits. Both options give you the same supportive, confidential care.

EMDR for Addiction: Treating the Wound Underneath the Behavior
