Anna Raport
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT/Sex Therapist
Helping individuals and couples create the intimacy they crave and desire.
I am passionate about helping people uncover and explore their sexy side! I enjoy assisting individuals and couples in developing and recreating their most vulnerable connections in life. My passion lies within creating healthy and positive connections with sexuality and your body. Growing up in a sex negative culture can be difficult. I definitely get it and have struggled myself with negative views of sexuality in the past. I understand how hard it can be to let go of the negative standards and embrace passion, pleasure and sexuality. I can help transform and enhance your sexual life and then you will begin to lead a pleasure filled satisfying sex life.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
My orientation to therapy is grounded in liberatory, strengths-based, and relational frameworks. My goal is to partner with you against that which is preventing you from creating a meaningful, value-aligned life: A life full of vitality, where you maintain a balanced connection to both your inner world and your community. I consider the material conditions (social, political, economic) around you when offering coping strategies, and aim to support your healing while holding space for any active harms or atrocities you may be experiencing (direct and indirect).

Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you’re exhausted from chasing certainty and living a life shaped by "what-ifs," you're doing more than just worrying—you’re watching your world shrink to fit your fears. Safety shouldn't feel like a prison. Instead of staying locked in a losing battle with your thoughts and anxious feelings, I help you change how you respond to them. By pivoting from managing symptoms and avoiding triggers to utilizing evidence based strategies, we will work together to regain your footing. We won't just quiet the noise; we’ll redirect your energy toward the goals and values that actually matter to you.

Kaitlin Joyce Therapy & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
I specialize in working with high-achieving adults (18+) who are outwardly thriving, but carry the invisible wounds of narcisstic abuse, complex trauma, emotional neglect, or early attachment ruptures. You may be someone who’s loving, thoughtful, and aware—but feels stuck in patterns of self-criticism, doubt, unstable emotions, or people-pleasing.
You are not broken! Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress to help you reclaim your inner peace, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy relationships. I offer a safe, collaborative space for you to learn how to manage your feelings, find your voice and heal from the past.

Lauren Green
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC
“I should have known better” “I’m never good enough.” “What’s wrong with me?”
Does this sound like you? People who experience anxiety and depression can have negative self-talk and overly high expectations of self that can impact quality of life. Therapy is a welcoming environment to work on identify these messages and build the ability to separate the thought from the belief as well as challenging the stories we tell ourselves. Once you are able to see that the core beliefs you feel are inaccurate, you are more equipped to rewrite the narrative you have been carrying for many years.

Haley Mills
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In therapy, I have found that if trust and care are established, healing can come naturally, and with ease. Much of my professional work has focused on loss and life transitions. I hold a systems-based framework, attuning to the complexities of the individual and their placement in the world. Interpersonally, this includes using an anti-oppressive lens when exploring relationships and ourselves, giving voice to parts of self that have been overlooked or overwhelmed. My approach is informed by psychodynamic, mindfulness, somatic, and attachment-based theories. I aim to create a collaborative, warm, and engaged space, where I can learn about your life, and we can talk through it together.

Sanela Solak
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Welcome. I offer a relational, attuned, and integrative approach to therapy that is tailored to each client’s unique needs.
My first intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where each client can show up exactly as they are in the present moment. I believe we all have a deep need to feel seen, to know that we are enough, and to experience belonging without having to sacrifice our needs or our authentic selves. Unfortunately, for many of us, these fundamental needs were not adequately met early in life. As a result, we often experience suffering in our relationships with others and in the way we relate to ourselves.
I believe that, given the right conditions, along with time and nourishment, our inner intelligence can build upon our current level of development, heal what has been wounded, and integrate into a more evolved and whole version of ourselves.
I also believe that personal, ancestral, and collective conditioning shape our physical, emotional, relational, and mental well-being. These dimensions cannot truly be separated. When we gain insight into their impact, we can develop a deeper understanding of our present condition, cultivate greater self-compassion, and ultimately expand our capacity to choose how we live in the present and shape our future.
It is one of my deepest honors and greatest joys to accompany people on their courageous and vulnerable journeys toward healing, connection, and a more integrated, whole sense of 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.

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.
