Chloe Philippen,

Welcome! My name is Chloe Marie Philippen. I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), (she/her). In May 2023, I received a Master’s degree in social work with a clinical concentration from the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

My Passion for Understanding

I have always had a passion for understanding people and their stories. We are all unique, and our life experiences inform how we understand the world and ourselves. I feel that it is an incredible honor to hold space for people who are seeking growth and fulfillment.

I am a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping you navigate your healing journey through a person-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused lens. I believe in every person’s inherent worth and potential. During therapy, I’ll integrate psychodynamic techniques to explore the underlying emotional patterns and unconscious processes that influence your unique thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

How I Can Help

I counsel children, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) for a variety of challenges, such as substance use, addiction, bipolar disorder, domestic abuse, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ struggles, gifted youth and adults, sexual addiction, self-harm, personality disorders, OCD, life transitions, anxiety, depression, BPD, relationship issues, religious deconstruction, body image, personality disorders, counseling for mothers, traumatic birth experiences, trauma & PTSD, and more.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

My experience in the field has focused heavily on coping with grief and resilience in the aftermath of trauma. I provide services to trauma survivors of all ages and across many settings, including shelters, hospitals, inpatient and outpatient centers, prisons, and schools.

With a deep understanding of trauma and its impact on the mind and body, I aim to create a safe, supportive space for you to process your experiences and work toward emotional well-being. My approach emphasizes the importance of secure attachments and relational dynamics, recognizing that healing occurs within meaningful, trusting relationships.  I will be that trusting relationship if you don’t have one for support.

I understand that trauma can impact people at any stage of life. Whether you’re dealing with a recent trauma or something that occurred in childhood, I believe that it’s never too late to address these issues.  You can begin the healing process now.

A Safe Space to Share, Grow, and Learn

I aim to offer you a space where you can feel safe sharing. I believe that your life experiences and messages you have received shape how you see yourself and the world in which you live. We’ll explore how those earlier experiences have informed your own patterns of behavior utilizing Mindfulness techniques as well as elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am deeply committed to cultural sensitivity, acknowledging and respecting every client’s diverse backgrounds and experiences. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I will work collaboratively to honor your unique perspectives and strengths.

About Me

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time outside camping and gardening. I find healing for myself in music and creating peaceful spaces to spend time with friends and family.
