As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that there comes a time when prioritizing our mental health needs becomes the key to being productive and happy in our day to day lives. Putting ourselves first generally can be a struggle and something that does not come easy, so taking the first step is key. I have had the opportunity to work for the last 20 years as a therapist within a school-based mental health program working with adolescents and teenagers and help them deal with managing anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
I have spent most of my professional life helping people manage stress, burnout, trauma, change, and the general emotional chaos that comes with being human. With a background spanning clinical counseling, higher education, leadership development, special education, and mental health advocacy, I bring both deep expertise and genuine relatability to the therapy process. I have presented nationally on topics like compassion fatigue, resilience, and trauma, but believe some of the best therapeutic work still happens in simple, honest conversations where people finally feel heard.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.
I focus on creating a comfortable and safe environment to help you reach your goals. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, panic disorder, relationship issues, stress management and adjustment disorders with both individuals and couples.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Philadelphia, PA
Searching for OCD therapists in Philadelphia starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just someone who lists it as one of many specialties. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, avoidance, or related stress, review therapist bios for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and OCD-specific experience.
Philadelphia has a large mental health care market, from Center City and University City to South Philly, Fishtown, and Northwest Philly. A wide set of options can make it harder to compare fit, so look beyond location and specialty. Consider whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual appointments, has availability that fits your schedule, is accepting new patients, and offers a free phone consultation. Therapist profiles can also show whether their OCD experience reflects focused ERP training or more general familiarity with anxiety and OCD concerns.
Therapy in Philadelphia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search OCD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare availability, review bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs and book directly when you are ready.
