You’ve been noticing an increase in anxiety for quite some time.

You thought your mood would get better, but as the days go by, you feel like you’re sinking into a deeper state of depression.

You find yourself using methods and behaviors to cope that may seem helpful in the moment but feel like they’re making things worse in the long term.

You’re isolating, having more critical thoughts, struggling to manage the stressors of day-to-day life.

You know change needs to happen. You know it would be helpful to see a therapist, but private pay fees are difficult to manage and affordable therapy in Philadelphia is hard to find.
