Spilove Psychotherapy

Spilove Psychotherapy Healing happens here. We specialize in trauma & anxiety with EMDR, DBT, KAP & somatic therapy. LGBTQ+ affirming • Bryn Mawr • Philly • Online.

You've been through so much in your life. You are often seen as the survivor but you feel like the outcast. The way you cope, the way you feel inside, it doesn't feel healthy any longer. You try to control what life circumstances you have been through with food, substances or other behaviors, but you have been left with only more anxiety and depression. Your past still follows you around in your relationships and you can't seem to shake the feeling that it won't ever get better. We help individuals on the Philadelphia Main Line and virtually of all races, genders and sexualities come to understand their past, learn healthier ways of coping and no longer be defined by their depression and anxiety.

PTSD can hijack your body before your mind has a chance to catch up—we get how frustrating and exhausting that can feel. These grounding tools aren’t about “fixing” you, but about helping your nervous system find its way back to the present when things start to spike.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy isn’t a magic fix or a replacement for therapy.

It can help create the conditions where therapy finally works—especially when other approaches haven’t.

MEET OUR INTERN!

Lauren brings a hopeful, curious, and grounded presence to therapy, with a genuine love for digging deep together. She believes there is beauty in everyone and that therapy can be a place where clients reconnect with parts of themselves that were quieted during survival mode. Her style is authentic, patient, and warm, often woven with humor when it feels supportive.

Lauren approaches therapy through a systemic lens, looking at individual concerns within the broader context of relationships, family dynamics, environments, and lived experiences. She is especially interested in what happens after survival. Once the nervous system softens and safety becomes possible, who do you want to become, both in response to and alongside what you have lived through?

Currently in her internship year at Thomas Jefferson University while completing her Master’s in Couples and Family Therapy, Lauren came to the field through education work. While supporting students and families, she noticed that many academic struggles were rooted in relational and emotional challenges rather than school itself. Seeking formal clinical training felt like a natural next step to do this work with more intention, depth, and care.

Lauren hopes clients experience therapy as a space that feels real and welcoming, where they can discover who they truly are and leave sessions with a growing sense of joy, self-love, and confidence in who they are becoming.

MEET OUR INTERN!

pascale is a Thomas Jefferson University Marriage and Family Therapy Intern who brings a warm, attentive, and deeply grounded presence to her work. She is committed to helping individuals navigate shame, trauma, and the painful relational patterns that can leave people feeling misunderstood or unworthy of love. As a transgender therapist, pascale brings lived experience with identity-based dissonance and creates affirming space for the complexities and challenges inherent in occupying a marginalized identity.

Her work is rooted in acceptance—how can we find peace in defining, and existing for ourselves? How do we feel empowered in a world that tries to take power away from us? In addition to their work around gender identity, pascale also draws on lived experience in sobriety and restorative justice, supporting clients as they navigate accountability, repair, and meaningful change. Across all of their work, pascale offers a space where clients can feel fully seen in their complexity.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and emotional depth. pascale integrates parts work, psychodynamic therapy, narrative work, and somatic awareness to help clients understand the parts of themselves that have carried hurt, protection, or fear. She believes that healing begins when we learn to meet these parts with clarity and grace, allowing us to reclaim agency, rebuild boundaries, and cultivate a more stable inner world.

pascale is especially drawn to supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, people navigating polyamory, individuals who have experienced harm within important relationships, and those who have caused harm and want to move toward accountability. She helps clients uncover the emotional truths beneath their patterns, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and build relationships that feel honest and life-affirming. For anyone who has felt unlovable, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, pascale offers a steady therapeutic partnership that invites wholeness, courage, and self-determination.

Persistent patterns often aren’t about willpower. They’re rooted in how your nervous system learned to survive.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess stuck experiences so old reactions stop running the present.

This might look like:
**Repeating the same relationship dynamics
**Strong reactions you can’t control
**Knowing better—but not being able to do better

MEET OUR INTERN!

Mattie is a Marriage and Family Therapy Intern at Thomas Jefferson University who believes therapy works best when it is collaborative, authentic, and rooted in real human connection. She approaches therapy as a shared process, one where clients are met with curiosity, respect, and care as they make sense of their inner world and relational patterns.

Her work is grounded in an embodied understanding of healing. By integrating somatic practices, Mattie supports clients in developing greater awareness, emotional regulation, and a felt sense of safety within their bodies and relationships. Therapy is not just about insight, but about learning how to stay present with yourself in moments that once felt overwhelming.

Mattie brings a multidisciplinary lens to her clinical work. She holds a master’s degree in liberal arts with a certificate in global studies and draws from her experiences as a certified yoga instructor, full-spectrum doula, and artist. These roles shape a holistic approach to therapy that honors each client’s lived experience, creativity, and resilience.

As a q***r therapist, Mattie is especially committed to creating affirming and brave spaces for BIPOC clients, individuals navigating prenatal and postpartum experiences, and those moving through identity shifts, relational changes, and major life transitions. Her style is compassionate, grounded, and genuine, working alongside clients to deepen self-trust, foster resilience, and support sustainable healing.

Self-sabotage isn’t a lack of willpower—it’s often your nervous system trying to protect you from change that doesn’t feel safe yet. With the right support, those patterns can soften, and growth can start to feel possible instead of threatening.
