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.

Hider Shaaban
Psychologist, PsyD
Whether it is trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, identity issue, acculturation & immigration, relationship problems, or anything in between that you are currently struggling with, it would be my pleasure to guide and help you through it. It may be a challenge sometimes to find a therapist who can meet your needs, which is why, in my opinion, the first and most important goal to accomplish together is a strong rapport. This will pave the way for you to have an environment that you can feel comfortable in, and for us to make progress in whichever area in your life that you need help and support with.

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.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Throughout our lives, we will all experience times of great joy and sadness, but how many of us really know what to do with those situations emotionally? My approach to therapy is realistic and person-centered. Of course, we want to get to root issues, but first we need to "stop the bleeding" and get our daily lives to a more functional point.

Dr. Jennifer Yalof
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

Carrie Askin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and in order for therapy to help you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and more safety.
I'm easy to sit with. I like people and I'm funny. My clients tell me that they feel like they can tell me anything. You won't learn too much about me personally but you'll know a lot about who I am because the therapeutic relationship is a big part of what heals us. That means that I'll have thoughts and reactions and I'll share them kindly and carefully.
You'll get to know yourself better and that will mean that you can feel more connected to other people. Most of the people who work with me find that their relationships with others are stronger and more satisfying and that they feel less shame, fear and sadness. We all deserve relief from our burdens.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
My initial interest in psychotherapy was sparked by studies in history, music, visual art, and the major world religions. These seemingly disparate interests helped me understand individual narratives in the context of our larger collective history. We all have a sense of who we are and how the world works based on years of lived experience. By deepening the understanding of our personal narrative we prepare the way for a sense of meaning and purpose that can impact our lives and those around us in profound ways.

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.
