Self-Discovery Layer by Layer

A Philadelphia-Based Psychotherapy PracticeLaunching Summer 2027

We are becoming, learning, healing, growing, curious, exploring, evolving, seen, heard, layered.

Why Layered Health

We are more
than one thing.

One feeling. One story.
We are layered.

Layered Health was founded on the recognition that
we're all complex, layered people, and that through
therapy we can come to understand ourselves, heal,
and grow.

At Layered Health, you're met with non-judgment, a
space to collaborate in exploring your lived experiences
and perceptions, discern the meaning within them, and
integrate what you learn to live a more fulfilling life.

Who we serve

Teens and adults ages 14+ for individual and relationship therapy

In particular, we're an affirming, identity-informed practice for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent people, people of color, and members of all historically marginalized communities.

We recognize the many ways that our identities intersect and overlap, and acknowledge that culture, history, and society shape how we understand ourselves and how the world perceives us.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers a space to slow down and look closely at what's shaping how you feel, relate, and move through the world.

Relationship Therapy

Relationship therapy offers a space for you and your partner to identify your strengths and challenges, and to understand the patterns that shape how you relate to each other.

Our therapeutic process

Explore.
Discern.
Integrate.

  1. 01

    Explore

    We look at what's there: the feelings, stories and patterns you bring into the room.

  2. 02

    Discern

    Then we look underneath it, and notice what each layer is holding and why.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    You bring what you find back into your life,
    so you can heal and grow.
