Patty Peach, LMFT

Ms. Peach has been practicing as a therapist for more than 30 years, working with individuals, couples, families, and children. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life cycle/developmental issues, relational distress/conflict, child and adolescent behavior problems, personal/spiritual growth, and gender issues.

Patty believes that life is about exploring, building, and deepening connections to self and others. She feels that in so doing, clients feel more alive and autonomous. In individual therapy she facilitates this by helping clients consider personal history and a variety of other influences that shape beliefs, values, and coping. In relational therapy, she helps clients build communication and conflict resolution skills, deepen bonds, and develop other relational strengths. She will often use approaches such somatic therapy or Focusing that help clients tap into their deeper experience and access internal resources. With children Patty uses play and sandtray therapy to support their expression of experience and resolution of struggles.

Her experience includes counseling related to family crisis, directing church-affiliated counseling services, providing school-based counseling, teaching at Drexel University and The Philadelphia Child and Family Therapy Training Center, and counseling/supervising/consulting in private practice. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and is a clinical fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
