I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and understood, and I strive to create a supportive space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
I am Dana DeLemos and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult life experiences. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and strengths-based. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves and the patterns that may be holding them back while developing practical skills, building confidence, and creating meaningful change in their lives.
I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach, meeting you where you are while helping you identify patterns, build practical coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we'll find strategies that fit your needs, experiences, and goals.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. I strive to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment as we work toward the changes that matter to you. When you're ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take the next step.

If you feel alone, like nobody understands you, and you don't know where to start, you and I can take a journey together to explore and face your abyss.
Hello, this is Jung. I was born and grew up in another country. I came to America as a young adult. It is hard to adjust and settle in a different environment. Sometimes life throws us into a totally different world. If you are lost and want to find a way, we can take a journey together. I find happiness when you find yourself. I studied at Lehigh University and worked in different locations (school, family, hospital, and outpatient). I hope my experience can help you find your way.
I believe my clients know their own ways to make progress. I provide the space for clients to find themselves with validation and approval. Sometimes I challenge clients to face their fears so we can overcome them together.
Sometimes it is painful and scary to face our abyss. If you allow me to explore, I will be honored to take steps with you.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions while building practical skills to improve your daily life.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, and other everyday struggles that can impact overall well-being.
My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to your individual needs. Using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT-informed interventions, I help clients build coping skills and move toward lasting change. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your child, I aim to build a relationship based on trust, authenticity, and hope.
During our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, history, and goals. Together, we'll begin creating a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and judgment-free, helping you feel comfortable, heard, and empowered from the start.

As a neurodivergent person who has struggled with mental health, I understand the importance of feeling seen and understood, as well as developing a toolkit of coping skills that caters to every person's unique needs.
I am a licensed associate professional counselor (LAPC) with 2 years of experience supporting clients through life changes, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, and OCD. I also have experience working with veterans and individuals navigating trauma. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and aim to create a space where clients feel understood and supported.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. My approach integrates techniques that explore thoughts, emotions, and behavior. I tailor each session to the client’s needs and prioritize collaboration to help them work toward meaningful goals.
Starting counseling can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe and supported. You deserve to be validated, seen, and heard as you work toward healing. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to walk with you—let’s begin whenever you’re ready.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy (psychotherapy) adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely. “Dialectical” means combining opposite ideas. DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strives to strike a balance between validation (acceptance) of who you are and your challenges and the benefits of change. In sessions, you will learn new skills to improve emotion regulation.
Signs of positive progress in DBT:
Four types of DBT are implemented, but they vary from therapist to therapist:
Here are some ways to prepare that may even be covered when starting DBT sessions: discussing the importance of regular attendance, active participation, and commitment to practicing skills outside therapy sessions.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Philadelphia, PA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
