Josh Freker Psychotherapy

Josh Freker Psychotherapy is a professional counseling service located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist, I offer individual and couples therapy sessions, both in-person and online, to residents of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. My approach to therapy is guided by psychodynamic and relational ideas, focusing on the unique relationship we develop to gain meaning and healing.

My Approach to Therapy

My work is centered around creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a crucial tool for healing and growth. I take a curious and empathetic approach, listening closely to your needs and sharing my observations to help you gain insight into your concerns. I work with individuals and couples on a long-term basis, but I'm also open to focusing on short-term challenges and solutions.

Fees & Logistics

I charge $160 per session for individuals and $180 for couples, with a commitment to one 50-minute session each week. I occasionally have sliding scale spots available, and I do not accept insurance, but I can provide invoices for out-of-network care. I'm committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for all individuals.

About Josh Freker

I have a depth of experience working with diverse individuals, including college students, adults in their 20's and 30's, and LGBTQ+ people. I've worked with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, obsessive thoughts, trauma, dissociation, sexual abuse, and substance use. I'm currently pursuing training in relational psychoanalysis and have completed courses in complex trauma and dissociation. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in communications and advocacy on LGBTQ and domestic violence issues.

Why Therapy?

Therapy can be a transformative experience that helps individuals cope with distressing symptoms, gain insight into their experiences, and explore their identity and background. It can also provide a safe space to process traumas, articulate feelings, and find support during transitional periods in life. I'm committed to creating an environment that fosters growth, healing, and self-awareness.
