Find a therapist in Philadelphia, PA — covered by insurance

I'm not that stoic, serious therapist you've traditionally seen portrayed in movies. I smile, I laugh, I frown, I may even gasp (insert gasp!).

I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

Elisabetta Ambron is licensed psychologist who completed her PhD in psychology and cognitive neuroscience at the University of Edinburgh. Her knowledge in cognitive neuroscience has equipped her with a unique understanding of the relationship between body and brain.

Uncomfortable as they may be, emotional struggles often develop for understandable reasons. They reflect what we’ve experienced, how we’ve learned to cope, protect ourselves, and navigate important relationships over time. And while these patterns may have once served an important purpose and still carry valuable information, they can also keep us tied to past experiences in ways that make it difficult to feel fully present, connected, and grounded in ourselves. Therapy can help us better understand these experiences so that we can move forward with greater flexibility, self-understanding, and connection in our lives and relationships.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, interpersonal or family conflict, life transitions, trauma, depression, OCD, and questions related to identity, relationships, and emotional meaning. I also work with individuals who are simply looking for a thoughtful space to reflect, grow, and better understand themselves.

My clinical work has been shaped by training at the University of Pennsylvania, the Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia, and experience working across multiple levels of care, including residential and intensive treatment settings.

I'm Reagan, and I'm a therapist who uses creative approaches to help people overcome problems with mood, anxiety, trauma, and obsessive thinking. I empower my clients using exposure therapy and insight. That means we don't just talk about things -- we also do things that help you feel better. That's useful for people who feel "stuck" and are struggling to make changes. You can build the skills you need to handle both the cognitive and behavioral components of anxious patterns.

I focus on helping people overcome PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, self-harming behavior, and BFRB like picking and pulling.

I'm especially helpful for people who feel cut off from their body or have trouble figuring out their feelings. Other people I often work with are people with ADHD and autism, LGBT+ people, college and grad students, people in burnout, healthcare workers, people with body image concerns, and geeks of all varieties.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who trained in Philadelphia and now lives in South Jersey. I'm into hiking, history, art, and plants.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey, with six years of experience in the mental health field. I view therapy as a space where your voice is valued, respected, and truly heard.

I am a seasoned clinician and have worked in several outpatient and residential settings with diverse client populations, with a particular interest in geriatric, special needs and LGBTQ+ communities. I attended Earlham College and the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned a Masters in Social Work in 1993. Often, I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and humanistic therapy in my work with clients. I believe in the ability of each individual to grow and make lasting changes.
