If you need an appointment other than Sunday or Thursday from 9-12 p.m., please call me directly at 267-225-7838 so I can confirm your availability. I'm Shekhina, a Multiracial Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my L-rd and Savior, in addition to a Psychotherapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Licensed Behavioral Consultant based out of Philadelphia, PA. I have an MS from Grand Canyon University and over 25 years of counseling experience. I have owned and founded The Counselor's Heart Therapeutic Services since 2019. My mission is to help individuals identify the root of dysfunctional behavior and break the cycle of sin, toxic patterns, and general curses. People often "move forward with time, but never move on," meaning they move on with time but never move on from past hurts. My desire as a Psychotherapist is to help clients move on to live a productive and healthy life without being haunted by past trauma.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Within our first session, we will briefly introduce ourselves. I will appropriately disclose my professional experiences and minimal personal history to create a comfortable and safe atmosphere where you can share reasons you came to therapy. The remainder of the session allows you to share what brought you to treatment and what goals you would like to achieve. In addition, I'll provide feedback while validating your feelings and concerns. The session will end with assigning coping skills and homework to continue therapy outside the session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I use an eclectic therapy approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques to serve my clients better, e.g Biblical, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, REBT, Psychodrama, Writing/Poetry therapy, and other forms of creative therapeutic expressions help evoke feelings to bring about change in a nontraditional setting. As an abuse survivor, adoptee, and teen mother who grew up in the inner city. I know the feeling of being caught in an endless cycle of adverse situations. It seems more things are coming against you than for you. I encouraged you to no longer suffer in silence and seek the help you need to become the best version of yourself.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Helping clients identify how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors and reframing them will change them and create a different behavior.

Couples Counseling

With family or Couple therapy, you and your family go to therapy together. Because everybody is there, you can work on problems affecting the family and devise a mutual compromise that benefits everyone involved.

Christian Counseling

As a Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my L-rd and Savior, I believe that Counselors are born and not made, As stated in Isaiah 9:6. When requested, providing Christian-based therapy to those who need a holistic approach.

Faith based therapy

A Exploring Life’s Challenges Through Biblical Applications. Biblical therapy allows you to handle your problems using Biblical principles. Biblical counseling is learning how to apply the scriptures to the areas of your life where you struggle the most.

Eclectic

My approach combines an eclectic therapy approach that draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques to serve my clients better, e.g., Biblical, ESFT, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, REBT, Psychodrama, Writing/Poetry therapy, and other forms of creative therapeutic expressions help evoke feelings to bring about change in a nontraditional setting. My mission as an abuse survivor, adoptee, and once a young mother is to help individuals identify the root of dysfunctional behavior and break the cycle of sin or toxic patterns and general curses. People often “move forward with time, but never move on,” from past hurts. My desire as a Psychotherapist is to help clients move on to live a productive and healthy life without being haunted by past trauma.
