About Us

Discover Your Authentic Self

Compassionate, relational therapy for young adults seeking deeper healing and genuine connection.

 

Meet the Founder

Hi there! I'm Emily (she/her), a relatable and authentic mental health professional dedicated to helping young adults reconnect with their true selves.

I believe therapy is about more than just finding solutions—it's about building a deep, meaningful relationship that allows us to explore and heal the root causes of your struggles. My approach is attachment and relational-based, focused on creating a nurturing and healing relationship between you and I, so that you can grow your relationship with yourself and those around you.

I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Counseling and Mental Health program and have extensive experience in various mental health settings, including community mental health, intensive outpatient care, and private practice. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania.

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me enjoying coffee, yoga, travel, and connecting with new people. I bring my full self into our sessions, combining professionalism with a genuine, approachable style to foster authentic connections. I can’t wait to learn more about you!

Our Team

Meet Bianca

Hi! I'm Bianca (she/her), a master’s level clinician with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Temple University. My experience includes working as an intensive outpatient group and individual therapist for adults and young adults in the greater Philadelphia area.

I specialize in working with folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, and focus on creating a safe, compassionate, and empowering connection between you and I. You are the expert of your story, so I use a person-centered approach to guide my work. I integrate techniques like motivational interviewing, mindfulness, DBT, ACT, and psychoanalysis to help you uncover and address patterns between past experiences and present challenges.

Outside of our therapy space, I enjoy spending time with my two Siamese cats, exploring nature, attending concerts, and traveling.
