In-person and online individual therapy and couples therapy in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Craig Shellenberger, LAPC
PSYCHOTHERAPIST
After working in leadership roles in the business world for 20+ years and helping individuals develop and attain their personal and professional goals, I became a second-career therapist to help people improve their lives in a slightly different way. I specialize in working with individuals and couples, with an emphasis on creating an empathetic space for self-exploration. Working together, we will better understand the mechanisms behind your behaviors, providing you with the insight necessary to take action and choose a new path. I believe that there are no broken people, just people with opportunities to improve, adapt or learn new tools and strategies to move forward. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes, but through work and effort, I believe every person has an opportunity to experience the reward of making changes towards a better life.

How I approach therapy: I utilize an integrative approach rooted in a psychodynamic foundation which helps people build insight into how their past experiences have shaped their current behaviors. With empathy, patience, and validation I help clients to identify & dismantle unhealthy patterns, identify and develop personal goals, and improve close relationships and achieve long-needed growth. I believe that therapy is a unique, shared journey and the therapeutic relationship is essential for healing and change.
