Clinical Psychologist, Founder · She/Her
Leading the practice and its clinical team. No longer accepting new clients.
Kaycee Beglau is the founder of Turning Leaf Therapy. She is no longer accepting new clients and now focuses her work on leading the practice, supporting the clinical team, and continuing to develop Turning Leaf as a place where meaningful, relational, and trauma-informed therapy can thrive.
Kaycee's clinical roots began in Marriage and Family Therapy, where she was drawn to the profound importance of relationships in shaping emotional health, identity, and wellbeing. From the beginning of her career, she was interested in working with children, families, and relational systems, and she came to understand healing as something that happens not only within individuals, but also through connection, safety, and attunement.
As her training deepened, Kaycee became increasingly interested in health psychology and behavioral medicine. This work expanded her understanding of the mind-body connection and the many ways our lived experiences shape how we feel in our bodies, in our relationships, and in the world. Through clinical training in hospital and inpatient settings, she began to recognize the central role that trauma often plays in emotional suffering, physical symptoms, dissociation, and patterns of survival that can be deeply misunderstood.
This led Kaycee to pursue specialized training in complex trauma and dissociative disorders, including advanced postdoctoral training at Sheppard Pratt's Trauma Disorders Unit, a nationally recognized program serving individuals with complex trauma and dissociative symptoms. There, she developed a deep appreciation for the careful, skilled, and profoundly human work required to support people whose experiences have often been missed, minimized, or inadequately treated.
When Kaycee returned home to Philadelphia, she found that it was difficult to locate a strong community of clinicians doing this kind of specialized, depth-oriented trauma work. She also experienced how painful it could be to have a full caseload and nowhere trusted to refer people who needed this level of care. That gap ultimately inspired the creation of Turning Leaf Therapy.
Kaycee founded Turning Leaf to be more than a collection of individual therapists. Her vision was to create a clinical home: a place where therapists could come together around shared values, thoughtful training, strong supervision, and a commitment to doing meaningful work with depth, integrity, and care. Over time, Turning Leaf has grown into a practice of specialized clinicians serving children, adults, families, and people navigating trauma, relational pain, and complex emotional experiences.
More than ten years later, Kaycee remains deeply proud of what Turning Leaf has become. The practice continues to evolve as a home for relational, depth-oriented, and trauma-focused therapy, as well as a training environment for clinicians who want to develop this work with seriousness and heart. While Kaycee is no longer seeing clients directly, her ongoing work is centered on protecting and strengthening the mission that led her to begin the practice in the first place: expanding access to thoughtful, specialized therapy and creating a community where both clients and clinicians can feel held, supported, and deeply seen.
