Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help clients understand how anxiety develops and how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we explore unhelpful thinking patterns and practice practical strategies to manage worry, such as challenging negative thoughts, using calming techniques, and gradually approach feared situations. I support clients as they build confidence and learn skills that make anxiety more manageable, empowering them to navigate daily life with greater calm, clarity, and control.

Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anxiety is a normal human emotion—a survival mechanism designed to keep us safe. However, it often feels like an over-active alarm system, ringing loudly even when there is no danger. My approach focuses on changing your relationship to these "false alarms" by identifying the internal narratives that keep you stuck. Instead of trying to silence the noise, we work on reshaping how you relate to anxiety and adopting new behaviors. By learning to respond differently to your internal system, you can reopen your world and move forward with lasting clarity and confidence.

Anxiety and fear are completely normal feelings/experiences, but when the mind and body are regularly/constantly on alert, anxiety and fear can be crippling. Whether there is emotional work to do around this or cognitive behavior work and trauma focused therapy, anxiety and fear can be lessened and made manageable.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
