About
Therapy is a unique space where vulnerability and depth of conversation intertwine, creating something truly special and valuable. This perspective drives Dr. Hider Shaaban's passion for his profession and shapes his approach as a clinical psychologist, founder, and executive director of Philadelphia Center for Psychotherapy (PCP).
Dr. Shaaban's flexible approach to psychotherapy integrates various models and philosophies, including psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This integrative method allows him to tailor treatment to each client's specific needs and personality style, avoiding the limitations of adhering to a single model. Dr. Shaaban firmly believes that this adaptability creates more room for relevant and helpful interventions.
At the core of Dr. Shaaban's practice is his emphasis on building a strong therapeutic relationship. He views this as the foundation for creating a comfortable and safe space where clients can engage in deep conversations and ultimately heal. His areas of specialty include complex trauma, anxiety, identity development, and mood disorders. Additionally, Dr. Shaaban works with individuals struggling with ADHD, relationship issues, and grief.
As the founder and executive director of PCP, Dr. Shaaban extends his philosophy beyond individual therapy. He strives to create a flexible, welcoming, and growth-oriented work culture for all therapists at the center. This approach not only benefits the therapeutic team but also enhances the overall experience for clients seeking help at PCP.
Dr. Shaaban's commitment to his profession and clients is evident in his statement: "If you're struggling with some of these issues, then we can get you the help you need to reduce your symptoms, get better, and flourish." This encapsulates his dedication to guiding individuals through their mental health journey, offering hope and practical support along the way.
