Uncomfortable as they may be, emotional struggles often develop for understandable reasons. They reflect what we’ve experienced, how we’ve learned to cope, protect ourselves, and navigate important relationships over time. And while these patterns may have once served an important purpose and still carry valuable information, they can also keep us tied to past experiences in ways that make it difficult to feel fully present, connected, and grounded in ourselves. Therapy can help us better understand these experiences so that we can move forward with greater flexibility, self-understanding, and connection in our lives and relationships.
I work with clients navigating anxiety, interpersonal or family conflict, life transitions, trauma, depression, OCD, and questions related to identity, relationships, and emotional meaning. I also work with individuals who are simply looking for a thoughtful space to reflect, grow, and better understand themselves.
My clinical work has been shaped by training at the University of Pennsylvania, the Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia, and experience working across multiple levels of care, including residential and intensive treatment settings.
Hello! I’m Shel (he/she/they), a white genderfluid therapist working in a systemic lens of individual, couples and family therapy. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and people of the global majority. I have training in CPTSD-focused mindful psychodynamic therapy, IFS and working with people who use substances. My degree is in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I contextualize my problems as relational problems. I use compassion, warmth, and humor to create a non-judgmental and open space for healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Philadelphia
Finding the right family therapist in Philadelphia starts with identifying what your family is working through. Family therapy can address communication breakdowns, conflict between parents and children, blended family adjustments, and the impact of major life changes on the household. Look for a licensed provider — such as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or licensed professional counselor (LPC) — who has specific experience with family dynamics.
Philadelphia is home to a large and diverse community of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to your family: whether you'd prefer in-person sessions in a neighborhood like Center City, Germantown, or South Philly, or the flexibility of virtual appointments. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match before your first session.
Family therapy in Philadelphia can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with 819 insurance plans, making it easier to find a family therapist who is both the right fit and covered by your plan.
