WE’RE HERE FOR YOU

Out of all the places you could be, we are glad that you’ve found yourself here. We know that seeking out therapy can be stressful or even scary, but we want you to know that seeking out help is an act of strength — and we’re so proud of you for taking this step.

we are not your typical therapy practice

We built the Therapy Group out of our own experiences in therapy that felt too clinical and disingenuous. It’s our belief that therapy can be productive and effective without feeling clinical, and we work to provide a therapeutic environment that is warm, inviting and authentic every single day.  

Above all, we work to connect with our clients on a deep level because we know that through connection, lasting, beautiful change can occur. We’re here for you and ready to help.

 
 

don't be afraid to start over again. you are not STARTING from scratch. you are starting from EXPERIENCE.

Supporting You At Any Life Stage

The Therapy Group is a knowledgeable team of systemically trained, clinicians who value creating meaningful connection with others. Leveraging both in-person and virtual therapy, our team of therapists are dedicated to helping clients overcome challenges and strengthen their quality of life.

Our team specializes in a variety of areas within individual, family, relationship and sex therapy so we can help clients wherever they may be in their life — both today and in the future.

 
 

creating
compassionate connection

The Therapy Group employs a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic approach working to foster a strong relationship with each of our clients. As systemically trained therapists, we are able to effectively assess the circular nature of interactions and look at each individual as part of a larger system  — whether that be a family, school, workplace or community. 

We recognize that many of life’s challenges result from interactions with others, and in order to resolve these conflicts, it’s important for us to fully understand the role we play within it. Because of that, our therapists help clients look inward to better assess and understand the interaction and then work to develop solutions for moving forward.

owners & founders

 

Jennifer Chaiken, LMFT

Emmalee Bierly, LMFT

 

We founded The Therapy Group (Formerly The West Chester Therapy Group) in 2014. We recognized that all human beings could benefit from therapy, but many kept themselves from the experience. We dedicated ourselves to creating a unique therapeutic environment that would open therapy up to even the most skeptical.

We built The Therapy Group based on
four principles:

De-stigmatizing Therapy:

Therapy at The Therapy Group is for anyone who is human. (although you may meet some four legged friends at our offices). We all need a place to feel like we can safely express ourselves. ​

Creating a Non-judgemental Environment:

No matter what you are going through, we strive to create a non-judgmental environment where you feel welcomed, accepted and can talk freely about your experience.

We are Human Beings First, Therapists Second:

We make it a point to be real with you. To be human beings and to connect with you on that level. We take a down-to-earth approach using humor, our personalities, our love and caring for others and of course, our training. We want you to feel like you’re talking to a REAL person, not someone who is throwing psychobabble at you.

Connecting With YOU as a Person, Not “Your Problem.”:

We believe that you are NOT your problem. We want to get to know you, who you are, what makes you you, and help you work through what you’re bringing into therapy. You are not defined by your struggle.
