In-Person Therapy in Philadelphia

Both in-person therapy and online therapy can be highly effective, depending on your individual preferences, needs, and therapeutic goals. Some people find the face-to-face interaction of in person therapy more conducive to their healing process, while others prefer the convenience and accessibility of online therapy sessions.

However, online therapy can be equally effective for many mental health concerns and offers benefits like scheduling flexibility and elimination of travel time. Research shows that virtual therapy produces similar outcomes to in-person treatment for conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma.

At our Philadelphia therapy practice, we offer both options to ensure you can choose what works best for your lifestyle, comfort level, and therapeutic needs. Many clients even combine both formats depending on their circumstances.

Absolutely! You can switch from in-person therapy to virtual sessions at any time without needing to give us advance notice or go through any complicated process. We understand that life circumstances change, and we’ve designed our services to be flexible and accommodate your evolving needs.

Many of our clients start with in-person therapy at one of our Old City, Center City, Bala Cynwyd, or Collingswood locations to build a strong therapeutic relationship and connection with their therapist. Once that foundation is established, they often appreciate the option to switch to virtual sessions when needed.

Common reasons clients switch to online therapy include illness, transportation challenges, scheduling conflicts, weather concerns, or temporary relocations. Some clients use a hybrid approach, meeting in person for important sessions and using virtual appointments for routine check-ins or when convenient.

Our Client Care Coordinator, Leona, works diligently to connect you with the right therapist at the most convenient location for you, ensuring that your first session is scheduled as quickly as possible. We understand that when you reach out for mental health support, timely access to care is crucial for your wellbeing.

You can typically expect your first session to happen within 24 hours to one week, depending on your specific circumstances, availability preferences, and therapist matching needs. We maintain availability across multiple office locations to provide scheduling options throughout the week.

Our goal is to minimize wait times while ensuring you’re matched with a therapist who specializes in your particular concerns and fits well with your personality and therapeutic goals. We understand that reaching out for help often takes courage, and we don’t want scheduling delays to become a barrier to getting the support you need.

If you have urgent mental health concerns, please let our coordinator know during your initial call, and we’ll prioritize scheduling your appointment as soon as possible.

The best office location depends on your personal convenience, accessibility needs, and preferences. Each location offers the same high-quality therapeutic services, so your choice often comes down to practical considerations like proximity to your home or work, parking availability, and public transportation access.

Our Old City office is ideal for those living or working downtown, with easy access to public transportation and the walkable charm of historic Philadelphia. The Center City location near Logan Square is perfect for professionals working downtown, offering convenient access to major transit lines.

Our Bala Cynwyd office serves Main Line residents, featuring ample parking and a peaceful setting away from city bustle. The Collingswood, New Jersey location is ideal for South Jersey residents who want quality care close to home.

During your initial consultation, our coordinator can help you choose the location that works best for your schedule and lifestyle. Many clients find that convenience and ease of access help them maintain consistent attendance, which is important for therapeutic progress.

The connection between you and your therapist is the most important factor in successful therapy, so if you don’t feel comfortable with your therapist, we absolutely want to help you find a better match. This is actually one of the major advantages of working with a group practice like ours rather than an individual therapist.

At our practice, switching therapists is completely normal and not awkward at all. We understand that therapeutic relationships are deeply personal, and sometimes the fit just isn’t right – whether it’s communication style, personality, or approach to treatment. There’s no judgment involved, and your current therapist won’t take it personally.

The process is simple: just let our Client Care Coordinator know that you’d like to explore working with a different therapist. We’ll discuss what you’re looking for in a therapeutic relationship and match you with someone who might be a better fit. You can switch between any of our locations or stay at the same office with a different therapist.

We have a diverse team of therapists with different specialties, approaches, and personalities across our locations. Our goal is ensuring you get the support you need from someone you feel truly comfortable with, because that’s when real healing happens.

Therapy sessions at our practice range from $50 to $225, depending on the therapist’s experience level and specialty areas. Our intern therapists offer sessions at $50, while our most experienced specialists charge up to $225 per session. This range allows us to provide options that fit different budgets while maintaining high-quality care.

We also offer sliding scale slots for clients who need financial assistance, because we believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting mental health support. These reduced-rate appointments are available on a limited basis for those who qualify. Most of our clients find that the investment in their mental health pays dividends in improved relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life.

We’re transparent about all costs upfront, so you’ll know exactly what to expect financially before beginning treatment. Our goal is to make quality therapy accessible while ensuring our therapists are fairly compensated for their expertise and care.

We do not accept insurance directly, but we work with most out-of-network benefits to help make therapy more affordable. Many of our clients have excellent success getting reimbursed by their insurance companies through their out-of-network mental health benefits.

Here’s how it works: you pay for your session at the time of service, and we provide you with detailed superbills that include all the necessary information for insurance reimbursement. These superbills contain the specific codes and documentation your insurance company needs to process your out-of-network claim.

Many clients are pleasantly surprised to discover they can get 50-80% reimbursement from their insurance company, significantly reducing their out-of-pocket costs. We’ll help you understand how to submit these claims and what information your insurance provider typically requires. Our team is experienced in working with out-of-network benefits and can answer questions about the reimbursement process.

Yes, we offer flexible scheduling options including evening and weekend appointments to accommodate busy work schedules and family commitments. We understand that many of our clients are working professionals, parents, or students who need therapy sessions outside traditional business hours.

Our therapists across all Philadelphia-area locations maintain extended hours, with many offering appointments until 8 or 9 PM on weekdays. Weekend availability varies by therapist and location, but we do have Saturday appointments available.

When you contact our Client Care Coordinator, let them know your scheduling preferences and constraints. We’ll work to match you with a therapist who has availability during the times that work best for you, whether that’s early morning, lunch breaks, evenings, or weekends.

We believe that scheduling shouldn’t be a barrier to getting mental health support. Our goal is to make therapy accessible by offering appointment times that fit into your real life, not forcing you to rearrange your entire schedule around traditional therapy hours.
