Virginia Carr, LCSW Counselor Fishtown PA

As a holistic & somatic therapist, I welcome not only what occupies your mind, but the story your body holds and what your spirit knows to be true.

I get what it’s like to be in the in-between place — when you’ve done lots of work already, you have plenty of self-awareness, yet it hasn’t been quite enough for you to shift out of what doesn’t serve you.

Curious about your inner world, I aim to gently help you get out of your head and tune into what’s underneath the logic, the reason, and the overthinking.

In our work, there is space for the messy feelings, an invitation to drop the mask, and a place where you don’t have to be good — you get to just be.

My Approach to Therapy

My role is not to “fix” you or tell you what to do but to be in the deep work with you. I trust that you make sense, even if it feels like nothing else right now does.

I believe that underneath anxiety, exhaustion, and shame lives your intuition, creative energy, and self-trust.

My practice is queer-affirming, neurodivergent-friendly, and anti-racist. I invite conversations about how our shared and different identities show up in the room and in our relationship.

I can’t wave a magic wand and make everything hard in your life go away, but I can support you in learning how to stay grounded and build connections that will keep you grounded, whatever comes your way. I can be present with you, curious about you, and willing to tackle the tough stuff with you.

I’m passionate about this work because I do it myself. I know that committing to therapy is a major investment of time, resources, and emotional energy and I hold my role as a therapist with deep reverence.

I show up authentically and I’m not a blank slate. If we’re meeting virtually, you’re likely to see my wanna-be therapy cat in my lap. If we meet in person, I’m likely to offer you a cup of tea before I kick my shoes off and curl up in my chair.
