Our therapists provide family therapy in Philadelphia, PA

I am a licensed professional counselor and school psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in community, outpatient, and school settings. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I also bring extensive experience supporting clients with autism, learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. I believe in every person's capacity for growth, and I tailor my approach to each individual's strengths and needs.

My work is grounded in empathy and active listening. Using evidence-based approaches—including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and client-centered therapy—I work collaboratively with clients to build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and foster lasting change.

Life is full of demands: work, family, relationships, and everything in between. You don't have to navigate it alone. I look forward to working with you—book a session and let's start uncovering your best self together.

My name is Irlande Stavien, and I have been working in mental health for the past 13 years. My path into this field began with a desire to better understand people—their struggles, their resilience, and the many ways life can shape emotional well-being. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Psychiatric Rehabilitation, as well as a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. 

For 8 years, I worked in one of my state's largest hospitals, and over the last 5 years, I've continued to grow while helping others work toward becoming the person they envision themselves to be. Working with individuals from many different backgrounds has strengthened my understanding of the importance of compassion and genuine human connection. 

I focus on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, supported, and able to move toward healing and personal growth at their own pace. My approach is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and meeting people where they are while helping them build the life they want.

My name is Natalie and I graduated with my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lock Haven University in 2025, with a certificate in telehealth counseling. I have experience working with clients from ages five to 85, supporting them through grief, loss, life transitions, and mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. I also have experience with cancer support, helping clients and caregivers navigate a diagnosis, manage the caregiving journey, and cope with loss. I guide clients in building resilience, finding balance, and fostering hope. 

My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to each individual's needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and strengths-based interventions. I also incorporate art therapy to help clients express emotions and process difficult experiences. 

My passion for grief counseling is rooted in my own experiences with loss, deepening my understanding of its impact. Seeking support is a courageous step, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. You do not have to face this alone—your healing journey can begin today.

I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) with 1 year of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion for helping others began in teaching and caregiving before I discovered my calling in counseling. I work with clients ages 12+ from diverse backgrounds to address trauma, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. I strive to create a space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can take root.

I earned a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University. My approach integrates compassion, collaboration, and perspective-building to foster personal growth. I help clients reframe challenges, explore new insights, and strengthen their sense of security and resilience through open dialogue and mutual understanding.

You deserve a therapist who truly sees and accepts you without judgment. I will meet you with honesty, empathy, and respect, creating a safe space where you can do more than survive. My goal is to empower you to build the life you desire, one rooted in growth, peace, and authenticity.
