Our Approach


We are a psychotherapy group practice located on unceded Lenni-Lenape land; Cedar Park, West Philly. Our team of clinicians offer a warm, inviting, collaborative and compassionate space to begin or continue your healing journey. While each individual therapist has their own style and specialty, we are all collectively and actively working from an anti-racist, queer and trans affirming, social justice, and trauma-informed lens.

Trauma-informed therapy is asking the question “what happened to you” not “what’s wrong with you”.  It’s a way of understanding how the variety of emotional, physical, and psychological struggles people face have affected them and cause them to act, think, and feel in certain ways.  This approach creates a non-judgmental safe space and begins the process of healing, self-understanding and empowerment.

Our practice specializes in working with those who hold marginalized identities and those looking to strengthen their relationships. We understand that folks holding marginalized identities experience more trauma on a systemic, historical, and interpersonal level. We also know that the strongest predictor of successful treatment is a quality therapeutic relationship. Therefore we work relationally, striving to develop an environment of mutual trust, respect and care, and actively engaging in the process with you.

Our therapists also bring an awareness to the “here and now” aspects of the therapist/client relationship, encouraging your feedback and working through problems as they arise. We offer virtual appointments from the comfort of your home or work, or in person sessions at our office in West Philly.

We offer a free 30 minute consultation with the therapist of your choice so that you can meet, ask questions and see if it feels like a good fit. We invite you to explore the profiles of each of our therapists and see who you are drawn to.

Our Space

 

Physical accessibility: the front door is flat in line with the sidewalk and an ADA accessible width, powered by an electric keypad lock, though the door is not automatic and pulls forward towards the street. Once inside, the lobby, bathroom, and first floor office are all built to comply with ADA standards for maneuverability and comfort. The downstairs has 6 steps, a landing with a turn, then 8 steps to get to the bottom floor; from there everything is on a flat even surface and all doors open away from the user.

Free on street parking is available and it’s easily accessible by the 34 Trolley
