About Turning Leaf Therapy
Turning Leaf Therapy is a group psychotherapy practice in Old City Philadelphia, founded in 2017 by Dr. Kaycee Beglau, a clinical psychologist. Twenty-three clinicians practice here now, in a quiet suite two flights up from Chestnut Street and over secure video across Pennsylvania and, with select clinicians, New Jersey. One idea holds the practice together: the relationship is the work.
What we believe
Most of what brings people to therapy began in relationship, so we believe it heals in relationship too. Every clinician here practices from a relational psychodynamic foundation, with trauma-informed thinking threaded through all sixteen of our clinical focus areas, from anxiety and depression to complex trauma, attachment, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. We treat symptoms as signals, not defects. We are not a coping-skills dispensary, and we do not promise transformation in six sessions. Things that grow slowly tend to grow well.
What makes us different
Three things, mostly. First, depth: our clinicians do this kind of work as their primary frame, not a method picked off a list. Second, matching: a short adaptive intake, coordinators who review it personally, and a match within 1 to 2 business days. No bots. Third, access: we are in-network with the insurance Philadelphia actually uses, including Aetna, the Blue Cross Blue Shield family, United Healthcare, and Optum, coverage most specialty practices refuse.
