Frequently Asked Questions: Starting Therapy in Philadelphia

If you're searching for a therapist in Philadelphia and aren't sure where to start, here are answers to some of the questions I hear most often.

How do I book an individual therapy session in Philadelphia?

You can book directly online through the Book Online page on this site. Sessions are available with me, Alex Kapnek, LPC, CSAT, at my Bala Cynwyd, PA office, easily accessible from Philadelphia. I specialize in individual therapy for sex and love addiction, chemsex-related struggles, betrayal trauma, and LGBTQ+-affirming care, using an integrative approach that includes EMDR.

Do you work with couples, or only individuals?

While most of my caseload is individual therapy, I also work with people navigating relationship and betrayal trauma challenges, including couples rebuilding trust after infidelity or compulsive sexual behavior. If you're looking for support as a couple, reach out and we can talk about whether my approach is a good fit.

How do I book a telehealth therapy session in Philadelphia?

Telehealth sessions can be booked the same way as in-person sessions, through the Book Online page. I offer secure video sessions to clients anywhere in Pennsylvania, so you don't need to be local to Bala Cynwyd or Philadelphia to work with me.

Where can I get help for trauma and addiction in Philadelphia?

Metamorphosis Therapy Center offers trauma-informed, LGBTQ+-affirming therapy for addiction (including sex, love, and chemsex addiction), betrayal trauma, and gender-affirming care. I'm a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and EMDR-trained clinician offering both in-person sessions in Bala Cynwyd, PA, and telehealth across Pennsylvania.
