Anneliese Sorrentino, MSS, LMFT

Life is both beautiful and hard, and our relationships (past and present) shape how we experience and navigate its many challenges, for better and for worse. Therapy offers a unique relationship, the central purpose of which is to support your growth and help you form more secure and satisfying connections – to yourself and others.

My approach to therapy is integrative (drawing from the collective wisdom of many fine minds, as well as my own life experience) and collaborative: I will not solve your problems nor cure what ails you; rather, I will meet you with warmth, acceptance, curiosity and a commitment to use what gifts I have for your benefit. I will invite you to be curious and brave with me, and together, we will explore and experiment with new ways of seeing, thinking, and relating.

I bring to this work a background in medical anthropology, social work, mixed-methods research, and clinical training in individual, couple, and family therapy. I have danced between research and direct practice throughout my career, keeping a foot in both worlds. When I am not at Council, I can be found at the VA Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion (CHERP) in Philadelphia, where I contribute to ongoing research on social determinants of health among Veterans.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples of all stripes, and my particular clinical interests include self-exploration and development, life transitions, depression and anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and couples’ communication and intimacy.
