Philadelphia Center for Psychotherapy

Your Emotional Wellbeing Starts Here

Welcome to the Philadelphia Center for Psychotherapy (PCP)

You are taking the first steps toward healing and emotional wellbeing right now, and that is something worth celebrating! You are one step closer to being on a self-exploration journey that can help you better understand yourself, learn how to change the things in your life that are keeping you stuck, and learn how to accept the things that are not within your control.

At PCP, we know that it may have taken some effort for you to be here, and we are happy to find you the help that you need with this journey, and make it a meaningful experience. Our goal is not just to help you get unstuck, but also to flourish and live a fulfilling life. This includes working on things like anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and more. 

Please know that we currently have a waitlist, and the timeline is longer for in-person only sessions.  If you'd like to be in person, we recommend starting virtually and switching to in person when your therapist has that opening, so that you're able to get started sooner.
