About
I believe meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where every client feels heard, respected, and understood. With more than 21 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and individuals involved in the behavioral health and justice systems, I understand that every person's journey is unique. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients can explore their challenges, build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and recognize the strengths they already possess. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and encouragement as you work toward meaningful and lasting change.
I believe meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship in which each
client feels heard, respected, and understood. With more than 21 years of behavioral health
experience, I have supported children, adolescents, adults, and families facing emotional,
behavioral, relational, and life challenges. My background also includes extensive work with
people affected by co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns and involvement
in the justice system.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I draw from evidence-based
methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed
care, and strengths-based interventions. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping
you stuck, build useful coping and communication skills, and develop realistic steps toward
the changes you want to make.
I provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where clients can speak honestly,
build resilience, and recognize the strengths they already possess. I work with concerns such
as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, behavioral challenges, low self-esteem, relationship
difficulties, and major life transitions. I understand that no two clients share the same story,
so treatment is tailored to your needs, values, goals, and pace.
My role is not to judge or dictate your path. It is to listen closely, offer honest support, and
help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and control. If you are ready to make
meaningful and lasting changes, I am prepared to walk alongside you throughout that
process.

Hello, this is Jung. I was born and grew up in another country. I came to America as a young adult. It is hard to adjust and settle in a different environment.

I studied at Lehigh University and worked in different locations (school, family, hospital, and outpatient). I hope my experience can help you find your way.
I believe my clients know their own ways to make progress. I provide the space for clients to find themselves with validation and approval. Sometimes I challenge clients to face their fears so we can overcome them together.
Sometimes it is painful and scary to face our abyss. If you allow me to explore, I will be honored to take steps with you.

I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I strive to create a supportive space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
I am Dana DeLemos and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult life experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and strengths-based. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves and the patterns that may be holding them back while developing practical skills, building confidence, and creating meaningful change in their lives.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.

I am Mark, a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping children, adults, and families work through challenges that impact their health and happiness. I work out of an office in Philadelphia and hold licenses in both Pennsylvania and California. I spent much of my career at a nonprofit agency that continues to serve trauma-impacted children and families in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was through this work that I grew to understand both the grave impact of trauma and the healing power of psychotherapy.
I draw on a variety of therapies to best match each client's needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and gestalt therapy. I also have subspecialties in parent training, behavioral intervention instruction, and play therapy.
Regardless of therapeutic orientation, I believe enriching a person's story is key to change. When people author strength-based personal narratives, they find the strength to overcome doubt, fear, and worry. I believe everyone carries the power to change and heal, and I'm here to help you access that power through an expressive experience.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

What support are you seeking?
You acknowledge that by submitting this form, you are providing what may be considered “sensitive data” and consent to Thriveworks Privacy Policy & Terms. By submitting this information, you consent to receive communication from Thriveworks about our services via automatic calls, artificial or pre-recorded messages, or texts at the phone number provided, or by email at the address provided. You have the option to opt out of communications.
We will contact you with availability updates based on the preferences you provided for up to six months.
In Philadelphia, your cost depends on whether you use insurance or pay out of pocket. With insurance, most patients pay a copay between $0 and $55 per session. If you’re self-pay, rates vary by state—typically $200 to $240 for your first therapy session and $160 to $195 for follow-ups, or $300 to $375 for an initial psychiatry session and $210 to $300 for follow-ups. Contact our Philadelphia office or visit our pricing page to learn more.
Yes, Thriveworks Philadelphia accepts insurance to help cover services, including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and psychiatry. Couples and family therapy aren’t always covered the same way, since some plans only cover sessions considered medically necessary.
We’ll verify your insurance and estimate your out-of-pocket cost for you before your first session, but it’s still worth confirming your specific benefits with your insurer, especially if your plan requires pre-authorization (advance approval from your insurer before certain treatments are covered).
Fit matters more than almost anything else in therapy. Research consistently shows the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether treatment actually works, no matter their approach. Start by thinking about what you want help with, then browse provider profiles in Philadelphia and filter by specialty, insurance, and availability to find someone who feels right for you. If your first session doesn’t click, no problem. You can switch providers anytime, no fees, no hassle.
All three support mental health in different ways. A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through challenges; a psychologist also provides therapy, but their doctoral training lets them do psychological testing and formal evaluations; a psychiatrist is a medical provider who can prescribe medication.
Thriveworks Philadelphia offers therapy and psychiatry together, so you can get the right type of care—or a combination—in one place. For more detail, see our straightforward guide to mental health care professionals.
Most patients at Thriveworks Philadelphia see a provider within six days. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends. Book online or call our Philadelphia office to find the soonest session with a therapist or psychiatric provider.
Yes. Psychiatric providers at Thriveworks Philadelphia can prescribe and manage medication, and many patients pair that with talk therapy from a separate provider. Our team coordinates the two together.
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Your therapist will ask what brought you in, talk through your history and goals, and start shaping a plan for care. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—the first session is a conversation, not a test. Want more detail? Here’s exactly what to expect, step by step.
Yes. Thriveworks Philadelphia offers both in-person sessions at our local office and online (telehealth) sessions, so you can choose what’s most convenient and switch between the two as your needs change.
