My name is Sylvie Beauvais. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist based in Philadelphia, PA. I am licensed to see clients in PA and NJ. I can see clients via telehealth in DE, FL, SC, VT. WV coming soon!
Therapy can be used lots of different ways. Whether you want concrete solutions to current struggles, or have one specific concern you wish to address, or are looking for deeper healing from past wounds. Reach out to me.
What makes me different:
I offer a $100 intro session to encourage you to try me out. You will have my personal cell number if we work together. I also offer free 15-minute phone checkins if you need a little extra support after a session.
- If you have ever been told “You’re too sensitive!” or that your emotional reactions were “too much!” I would like to work with you.
- If you’re a therapist interested in IFS therapy, I would like to work with you.
- If you feel like you’ve done a lot of therapy work, but some things remain unresolved, Internal Family Systems therapy can lead to deeper healing
I particularly wish to welcome those who may not have felt welcome or comfortable in therapeutic settings: the global majority, those with LGBTQIA+ identities, immigrants, and men (or masc of center). I’m bilingual in French.
As a clinical social worker, which means I care about you and your environment, and recognize the multiple ways in which our society can be dismissive of and often harmful to our complex identities and needs.
My background in Internal Family Systems (IFS):
I took IFS Level 1 with Pamela Krause. I completed Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFS couples model), taught by Toni Hervine Blank and Cathy Curtis. I became a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist in 2022. I have training in IFS Healing Circles (IFS Group therapy model), taught by Chris Burris. I learned the IFS PAUSE model. My IFS Level 3 training, IFS & Spirituality, was taught by Ann Sinko. I have attended a retreat with Susan McConnell who developed Somatic IFS. I have been working with highly sensitive people and focusing on treating trauma since my MSW internships, starting in 2011.
