Mary Elizabeth believes healing is not only about addressing symptoms but also about helping clients reconnect with hope and a sense of possibility for the future.

Peter draws on a variety of therapeutic perspectives to help clients uncover their strengths and view challenges as opportunities for growth, including sensorimotor, somatic, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioral therapy. He is a training analyst with the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts, and his perspective is informed through the lens of depth psychology. He believes that distressing symptoms often hold the potential for transformation. By working through painful experiences in a supportive space, Peter helps clients achieve greater clarity, resilience, and fulfillment in their lives.

He prioritizes building a safe and supportive therapeutic environment rooted in respect, empathy, and warmth, while encouraging self-reflection and growth. His ultimate goal is to help clients cultivate self-reliance, develop healthier relationships, and live with greater fulfillment and purpose.

Maria inegrates a variety of evidence-based and expressive techniques, including EMDR, clinical hypnosis, cognitivie behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused methods, and narrative therapy.  She also incorporates creative and somatic approaches to help clients reconnect with their sense of agency.  Her practice is deeply rooted in compassion, warmth, and unconditional positive regard, guided by Angela Davis's words: "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change... I am changing the things I cannot accept." Maria's work centers on helping clients build resilience, reframe painful experiences, and create meaningful pathways forward.

As someone who is differently-abled herself, Molly brings both strong clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She understands that while individuals with disabilities face the same emotional challenges as the general population, they often encounter additional barriers. Her practice offers a compassionate, inclusive space for clients to explore their experiences and find meaningful solutions.

Molly does not believe in a one-size-fits-all model of therapy. She begins with a thorough assessment and collaborates with each client to determine the therapeutic methods that will best support their goals. While trained in a variety of evidence-based practices, she places the highest value on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship.

Molly earned her Master of Social Work (MSW) from The Catholic University of America in 2005 and actively pursues ongoing professional development through workshops and trainings. She is deeply committed to fostering self-autonomy and empowering clients to discover their own strengths, insights, and path forward.
