Our therapists provide family therapy in Philadelphia, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 5 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals through career transitions, relationship struggles, dual diagnoses, and personal growth. My own journey of healing and self-discovery has shaped how I guide others today. I believe the best teachers are often those who were once students of their own healing.

I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Holy Family University. I take a collaborative, solution-focused approach, working with clients to identify strengths, address barriers, and set goals that lead to meaningful, lasting progress.

I provide a judgment-free space where you can feel supported in exploring your goals. Together, we will work through challenges, past traumas, or obstacles that may hold you back. My goal is to help you get to the place where you see and feel your best self.

Jacquelyn has a Master’s degree in Counseling and a Master’s degree in Education. She strives to develop a caring relationship with the client that is built on trust, respect, and collaboration. Jacquelyn integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing with a strengths-based, person-centered approach to support the client in becoming his/her best self. When working with children and families, she often uses play therapy to foster relational skills, develop emotional awareness and self-regulation skills, and promote positive problem-solving. 

Jacquelyn recognizes that each client has a unique set of strengths, desires, and needs. Thus, she continually maintains flexibility and tailors strategies in response to the client’s needs and personal goals. Her goal is to encourage and empower you throughout your journey to becoming.

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.
