Dr. Ellen J Siegel

“It can be difficult to find the right therapist. You want someone who is empathic while remaining professional, intuitive as well as smart, compassionate without sacrificing competence, warm but able to remain clear and focused. Someone you "click" with, someone you can trust and have confidence in, someone who will be your ally in figuring out the puzzle that is you. With over 25 years' experience as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Center City Philadelphia, I might be the psychotherapist you seek. I specialize in treating individual adults and couples with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or life transitions.

I am experienced with treating issues in various kinds of relationships, including with parents, spouse, romantic partner (gay or straight), family members, co-workers, boss, friends. My approach is psychodynamic, which means that together we focus on understanding and insight. We concentrate on your strengths while resolving your difficulties.

Most people see me once a week; some see me more often. Although I do not accept insurance, I will work with you on setting fees that work for both of us. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.”
