Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Philadelphia Couples Therapy (PCT) is a doctoral-level couples group practice offering a treatment team approach to supporting couples of every persuasion. Couples work is not for the faint of heart; many times couples come into therapy on the verge of separation. The work is emergent and vital, often bringing each partner to a new space in life that feels transformative to them. The clinicians at PCT work together to provide couples, individual, and group treatment in order to bolster the couple system in the way it might need. Today, couples are expected to be everything to one another, all the while navigating children, mortgages, layoffs, or illnesses. Such pressure can unravel even the strongest of partnerships. PCT offers just the support couples need to get back on their feet and face the world again.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
In my online therapy practice, I specialize in EMDR therapy as a transformative approach to assist individuals in their journey towards healing from trauma and narcissistic abuse, ultimately guiding them back to a place of self-love and emotional equilibrium. The lingering effects of childhood physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, along with the enduring impact of narcissistic abuse, can become deeply entrenched within the body, leading to symptoms of depression, anxiety, hypervigilance, and challenges in navigating relationships and daily life.
I employ a video platform known as remotEMDR, which is specifically designed to facilitate EMDR therapy. This innovative approach aims to reshape the way these distressing memories are stored in the brain, fostering resolution and inner peace. To complement this therapy, I incorporate mind-body practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, all of which serve to amplify the healing process.
Drawing on my background as a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help individuals identify their blind spots, condition their thoughts, and ultimately rewire their brains for enduring happiness and success. My mission is to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing that empowers individuals on their path to transformation and well-being.

I offer medication management and/or psychotherapy, allowing patients to receive integrative care within a single treatment setting.

Trauma is profound: it shapes how we organize our experiences, relate to other people, and respond to life's ebbs and flows. It can also leave us feeling stuck and painfully limited. Together we can make sense of your story, identify unconscious patterns that no longer suit you, and create room in your mind to live with greater freedom. If you're looking to effect deep change in your life, I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve already done work and want to go deeper. I offer a supportive, down-to-earth space to sort through what feels stuck, overwhelming, or hard to name. My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and trauma-informed care, but always tailored to what you need most.
I work with adults carrying the weight of childhood neglect or trauma, as well as those navigating stress in parenting, relationships, or work. Along the way, we focus on building clarity, connection, and trust so change feels possible—and lasting.
I also provide consultation and supervision for licensed therapists and offer parenting consultations. My practice is 100% telehealth, making therapy more flexible and accessible across Washington State and Psychpact states throughout the United States.

Justin partners closely with his clients to clarify concerns, examine unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about themselves, and regain a sense of confidence and direction.
Justin integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help clients recognize and challenge judgments about themselves, others, and the world around them.

Through therapy, Justin supports clients in identifying their strengths, rebuilding self-worth, and moving ahead with a more balanced and hopeful perspective.
Creating a safe, supportive space is central to Justin’s work, allowing clients to explore anxiety and depression without judgment. With experience serving individuals from diverse backgrounds, his approach is both trauma-informed and culturally responsive.
