Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Life Changes

Online Therapy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Mija Serrano, MS, LPC

The effects of anxiety, depression & big life changes manifest differently for everyone.

Maybe you’re seeing the it at home: you’re arguing more and connecting less, feeling irritated with your family and friends more easily, or feeling completely overwhelmed with trying to keep a household together.

Or perhaps it’s at work: you can’t concentrate, you’re feeling stretched thin, and it’s harder to keep up with all of your responsibilities like you used to.

It might even be showing up in your body: aches and pains that won’t go away, tension, upset stomach, and brain fog, among other frustrations.

No matter how these things are showing up for you, therapy for depression, anxiety and big life changes can help you feel more grounded in yourself, rebuild your confidence, create more loving boundaries, and give you the energy you need to do what you love.

When you work with me, we’ll move forward in a way that is collaborative, warm, and compassionate. I’ve created a space for you where you can explore the things that matter most, while giving you the skills and tools you need to make lasting changes in your life.

Because when you have the space to truly open up and be vulnerable, process difficult emotions, and find better ways to cope, everything in your life can be transformed for the better.

Create the life you love.

But here’s the thing: you can do this, and you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll help you feel like the parent, partner, and person you want to be.
