Kelsey Grant
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHCA
There's a part of you that has been managing, achieving, and holding it together for a long time. And it's tired. Not in a way that a vacation fixes — tired in a way that makes you wonder why the things that are supposed to feel good still feel like work.
I offer Integrated IFS and EMDR for people who are done with surface-level and ready to understand what's actually driving the patterns. Intensive formats from a single deep-dive session to multi-day immersions let us do in hours what weekly therapy can take years to reach.
This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about understanding the parts that have been in the way and finally giving them a reason to step back.

Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I work with couples and individuals who are curious about their relationships. I am interested not only in what feels difficult, but in what those struggles may be revealing about who you are and how you want to live. I focus on how we love, how we defend against love, and what we long for when we cannot find our way back to each other. These patterns shape both our partnerships and our way of being in the world. Most conflicts that bring people to therapy nearly always point toward something that needs attention, a place where growth is trying to happen.
Relationships are living fields. They carry our histories, our cultural inheritances, and our unfinished emotional stories, but they also carry possibility. This is true of the relationships we have with others and the relationship we have with ourselves. Many of the individuals I work with feel a gap between their current reality and the life they sense is possible but have not yet been able to inhabit. I do not see this as pathology. It often signals that your development is asking for attention.
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy and have over twenty years of experience working across cultures and contexts. My orientation is dialogical, experiential, and psychodynamic. In sessions, I integrate somatic awareness and close attention to what unfolds in real time, such as shifts in tone, subtle contractions, or moments of distance. We slow these down so that reactions can become meaningful rather than automatic. We also make plenty of room for laughter. I find that humor is often the first sign of a pattern breaking, a way to hold the absurdity of the human experience while moving toward something more vital.
I work online with U.S. and international clients, including cross-cultural couples and expats navigating identity shifts and displacement. Culture, migration, and family history leave deep imprints on how we attach and how we imagine intimacy. These layers are always part of our conversation.
Therapy with me is steady, engaged, and deeply reflective. I trust that individuals and relationships carry an inner movement toward aliveness. My role is to help you recognize it, support it, and allow it to shape how you live, both together and individually.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation.

Molly Halbrooks
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
Good therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist. I often work with those who have previously been in therapy and have felt stuck; my approach is active and helps you move beyond cognitive understanding to actually feeling better. You are a unique individual with unique life experiences and I meet you right where you are and work with you to determine how to move forward as your healthiest, most fulfilled self.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We are a collective of couples psychologists united by the shared conviction that relationships deserve more emotional care and community support than our culture provides. Building and sustaining a loving partnership isn’t meant to happen in isolation — it takes a village. In today’s world, we ask more of our partners than ever before. Our partners are our confidants, our co-parents, our lovers, our best friends, and the witnesses to both our strength and our vulnerability. This profound closeness is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet it can also create immense pressure. At PCT, we strive to be that village — a steady emotional anchor for couples navigating the highs and lows of connection.
Every kind of couple is welcome here: those deeply in love, those in conflict, those recovering from betrayal, and those unsure of how to move forward. Together, we help partners rediscover what first drew them together while uncovering new ways to grow intimacy and trust. Our work isn’t about perfection — it’s about helping two people feel seen, understood, and supported as they evolve together.
Sometimes, relationships reach a crossroads. The clinicians at PCT are skilled at holding space for both partners’ perspectives, guiding them through painful or uncertain transitions toward clarity and peace. That might mean learning to co-parent respectfully, parting ways with compassion, or exploring whether staying together is truly right. Even after a breakup, we help couples find a way to relate from steadier ground — because healing, too, is a form of love. We remain beside you for as long as you need, until the storm calms and a new balance emerges.
We also offer individual therapy for those seeking personal growth, clarity, or support. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, managing stress, or simply looking to better understand yourself, our psychologists provide a safe, compassionate space to explore your goals and challenges.
