Therapists in Schuylkill Southwest, Philadelphia, PA

We are living through a collective trauma. This rapidly shifting sociopolitical environment raises existential concerns, challenges security, and calls priorities into question.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with self-esteem, or seeking affirmation for your LGBT+ identity? It's common to feel uncertain or apprehensive before starting therapy, wondering if it will truly make a difference. You might be experiencing a mix of emotions, including doubt, hope, or even fear about opening up about your challenges. I want you to know that these feelings are valid and that seeking support is a courageous step toward positive change.

Hi! I’m Kelly. I specialize in assisting folks struggling in their interpersonal relationships and are experiencing a general sense of "stuckness." I also offer pre-marital counseling! I am very interested in working with couples finding it difficult to connect and communicate, noticing themselves in “the same fight over and over.”

My clients are high-performing people seeking therapy because they feel depressed, trapped, or anxious in ways that prevent them from enjoying the lifes they have built. Many feel disconnected from their sense of purpose or from loved ones and wish to reconnect in new and healthy ways. I can help you learn about yourself, improve your sense of well-being, and face obstacles that challenge you with increased skill, ease, and clarity. My practice is 100% teletherapy, which lends itself well to discretion, efficiency, and flexibility. My clients attend therapy between meetings, at work, and from the couch while their baby naps.

Moira McCormick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 8 years of experience. Moira specializes in working with children and adolescents dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, anger, and life transitions. She also has extensive experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum. Moira completed her Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling Psychology at Immaculata University. Within a therapeutic setting, she emphasizes healthy relationships and she believes the key to that is incorporating parents and/or caregivers into treatment.

I like to help people explore their patterns in life and discover ways to become a happier, healthier, more grounded person. Feelings and experiences may be keeping us stuck. I provide a safe space to understand and express these feelings, offer tools how to work with feelings and thoughts, and then help clients discover their interests and path forward. Therapy may be helpful to deal with a difficult event or a way of living. I help my clients to navigate a better, more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Therapy with me is an active, engaging process. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. In therapy, I create a space characterized by authenticity, humor, and acceptance. I believe that being direct and genuine helps in building a therapeutic relationship where real change can occur. My approach integrates strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also often incorporate hypnosis in my sessions, which has proven effective in both acute symptom management and deeper therapeutic processes.

Does it feel selfish or wrong to choose what's best for you instead of what's best for others? Do you struggle to feel good enough? If so, you may find yourself engaging in behaviors like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-functioning to prove your worth. In your relationship, do you feel frustrated that expressing your feelings to your partner somehow always ends up in an argument? Communication is where underlying relationship issues tend to show up. So, whether you're seeking individual or couples therapy, I will help you develop a deeper understanding of these issues to greatly improve your life and your relationships.

Living with a mind that never seems to stop running, or not knowing how to soothe that worried voice can feel incredibly tiring. If you identify as a worrier, or an overthinker, or maybe you're finding that you are feeling anxious more often than you'd like, know you are not alone. Whatever your experience may be, we will work together to gain a deeper understanding of what's happening, ultimately finding relief, helping you break free from feeling stuck, and restoring a sense of confidence and balance in your life.

Over the last 14 years, I’ve had the joy and privilege of working with folks as they make meaning of their lives. I work with people who want to experience more inner peace and less anxiety. While not a requirement, I see long term therapeutic work as a vehicle for building a consistent, stable relationship. My clients have the experience of being known, understood and seen. Through our invested relationship, we can practice new ways of being and bring in new patterns of thought, behavior and feeling. Once trust and knowledge has been built, we'll collaborate on how to better move through pain points in your life.

Are you facing the emotional challenges of chronic illness, struggling with anxiety, or navigating the heartbreaking journey of grief and loss? You do not have to do this alone. Clients work with me to learn how to respond to their most challenging situations—whether it’s adapting to the profound changes brought by a chronic or terminal illness, reclaiming control over persistent anxiety, or finding ways to rebuild after a massive loss. With over 13 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate these overwhelming challenges, and emerge with grace and a deeper sense of self-awareness and healing.

Feeling like you see what the problems are, yet you still feel stuck? Together we can help you transform that awareness into change. Many of my clients are painfully aware of their patterns, but despite their best efforts, they struggle to embody their values. I know firsthand how hard and frustrating therapy can be for just this reason, as well as how life-changing a good therapeutic relationship can be. In my practice, I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, relationship issues, and want to work through life transitions, and boundary setting.

People come to therapy for many reasons, sometimes it’s an unexpected or painful transition, other times it might be conflict in important relationships. Often, people have tried to help themselves feel better, and are unsure of where to go next. Regardless of the reason you are seeking help, you are likely looking for relief from pain or suffering. I’m glad you’ve taken this important first step. My role is to offer you a warm and non-judgmental space to process life’s complexities and create meaningful change.

Feeling held hostage by self-doubt? You know you’re competent. It’s frustrating when that inner critic floods you with anxiety and that doesn’t come across. You want to enjoy your work, move forward in your career, and be yourself with people. There is hope. It is possible to feel comfortable in your own skin, allow your authentic self to shine through and take pride in your achievements. If you are curious about your inner life and want to understand what’s at the root of these thoughts and emotions and how to better manage them I can help.

Ever feel like you keep hitting the same wall over and over again? Does it seem like no matter what you do, you continue to feel lost/stuck? Our past traumas, experiences, relationships, societal & familial expectations can unconsciously start to dictate the ways that we think about ourselves and how we relate to the world; we start to have trouble seeing ourselves clearly. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe and validating space to explore the issues and pain that might be holding you back from being your most authentic self; helping to refocus your vision so that you are able to witness your own resilience and unique power.

Therapy offers the space to process emotions and experiences, develop a relationship with yourself, and gain insight. It is my goal to create a space for you to explore these areas, and to develop a therapeutic alliance that instills hope and encourages confidence. With a background in recreation therapy, I utilize a psychodynamic approach rooted in attachment theory, and primarily use schema therapy and behavioral interventions.

Finding a therapist who will understand and hold space for your unique process can be hard. I want to make that process as easy as possible. Here is some information about what I do, but please feel free to call or email me if you have any additional questions. I see a wide range of clients working through many different concerns. I specialize in trauma and grief (grief when you lose someone, the grief after life changes without your consent, grief when you realize a relationship will never be what you'd hoped, and other forms of grief.) Here, you will have the opportunity for body, mind, and spirit healing in one space, if desired.

Hi! I’m glad you found your way to my profile — let’s help you connect with the support you’re looking for. My therapy approach centers empathy and collaboration, and focuses on building a trusting relationship where in-depth work and growth can happen. I offer a supportive and nonjudgemental environment while challenging you to self-reflect and look for patterns to get to the root of an issue. Together, we will work towards greater agency and self-awareness, a better understanding of the experiences that influence relationships to yourself and others, and the space to pursue your goals towards wellness and recovery.

Are you struggling to live authentically, to trust your ability to make healthy decisions, or to develop a sense of self and your desires? Perhaps you are grappling with life transitions, relationship conflict, feeling unfulfilled, gender/sexual identity concerns, or a disability. Maybe you're just looking to grow! The systems we have been raised in aren't always friendly to those of who are unconventional (whether we identify as misfits, creatives, disabled, or LGBTQIA+), and the therapeutic process is an opportunity to be uniquely listened to in a way we rarely find in everyday life.
