Adelaide Halstead, LCSW — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Adelaide!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Philadelphia suburbs and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I am passionate about supporting clients with whatever challenges life throws at them. Providing clients with a safe space to express themselves is my mission.

My focus

I primarily work with adults struggling with depression and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have worked in a hospital setting, so I also have a history of working with clients who have chronic health issues.

My approach

I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; however, my approach can vary depending on the needs of my client. I also incorporate strength-based techniques and mindfulness exercises based on client interest.

My communication style

I strive to provide a safe space for my clients to openly share with me. I am an active listener who provides a non-judgmental space. I am culturally sensitive and flexible to work with.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was first drawn to the field of social work because I have always enjoyed helping people. From working with refugees to patients with terminal illnesses, providing a safe space for clients where they can truly open up and be heard is what I strive for.

My goals for you

Within the first few sessions, my clients and I work together to set goals. Depending on preference, I can assign homework in between sessions to help clients reach their goals even when they are not in therapy.

Our first session

During our first session together, we will spend some time exploring what brings you into therapy. The first session is an opportunity to get to know you and for me to figure out how I can best help you reach your goals for therapy.
