In-person sessions in Doylestown." lang: en --- Skip to content Philadelphia, Pennsylvania * * * # Telehealth Trauma and Eating Disorder Therapy in Philadelphia Lauren Mehr offers secure telehealth to adults across Philadelphia, from a private room at home, a quiet office, or wherever you feel most settled. In-person sessions happen at her Doylestown office. Philadelphia sits right next to Lauren's home base in Bucks County (https://braveemberswellness.com/locations/bucks-county-pa) and neighboring Montgomery County (https://braveemberswellness.com/locations/montgomery-county-pa). Brave Embers Wellness doesn't have an office in the city. Instead, Philadelphia adults can work with Lauren by secure video, or make the trip north to her office in Doylestown if they'd prefer to meet face to face. Telehealth can suit city life well. There's no commute across town, no hunting for parking, and no waiting room where you might run into someone you know. Care can fit into a demanding week and stay consistent when life gets unpredictable. Who this is for * * * ## Adults carrying more than they show. Lauren works with adults 21 and older navigating complex trauma and PTSD (https://braveemberswellness.com/specialties/trauma-ptsd-therapy), eating disorders and disordered eating (https://braveemberswellness.com/specialties/eating-disorder-therapy), body image struggles, and the aftermath of sexual abuse, along with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach is paced, embodied, and weight-inclusive. Symptoms are treated as adaptive responses to what you've lived through, not as evidence that something is wrong with you. Body-based work translates to video in simple ways: noticing your breath or posture, pausing when something lands, orienting to the room around you. Lauren guides each step and explains why she's suggesting it, and you can slow down or stop at any point. Nothing is asked of you that you don't agree to. Telehealth in the city * * * ## Privacy, wherever you are. Finding a truly private space can take some thought in a busy city. Some people take sessions from a bedroom with the door closed, a borrowed office, or a parked car. What matters is that you can speak freely and feel reasonably settled. A few things can help telehealth sessions feel steadier: - Headphones, so you can hear clearly and others can't. - A stable internet connection and a charged device. - A few minutes before and after the session to land and transition. - Something comforting nearby, like a blanket, a warm drink, or an object that grounds you. Sessions require you to be physically located in Pennsylvania (or Arizona, where Lauren is also licensed) at the time of your appointment. If you'll be traveling out of state, let Lauren know ahead of time so you can plan around it. What's available * * * ## Three ways to work together. By telehealth, Philadelphia adults can access the same approaches Lauren uses in her office: - Individual therapy (https://braveemberswellness.com/services/individual-therapy): sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, usually weekly to start, drawing on somatic work, EMDR, parts-centered work, and experiential practices. - Ten-week experiential groups by secure video: Free To Be for eating disorders and Braving You for trauma. - Private intensives: one to three focused days by telehealth for adults who are otherwise stable and want to go deep on something specific. To learn more about working by video anywhere in the state, see online therapy across Pennsylvania (https://braveemberswellness.com/locations/pennsylvania-online-therapy). Meeting in person * * * ## When you'd rather share a room. Some people prefer in-person sessions, especially for body-based trauma work. Lauren's office is in a quiet stone building off New Britain Road in Doylestown, with free parking at the door. Philadelphia adults who want to make the trip are welcome, and you can also mix in-person and telehealth sessions.
