Our counselors provide therapy in Philadelphia, PA

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 3.5 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I began my career in a nonprofit setting, working with diverse populations and a wide range of concerns. I help clients navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions who are seeking greater clarity, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of control in their lives.

I work with all ages, including children, families, couples, and adults. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques. My approach is trauma-informed and focused on getting to the root of distress. I integrate CBT, ACT, ESFT, and DBT to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and support meaningful, lasting change.

I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward change. You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. When you're ready, I welcome you to begin your journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
