Finding Calm in the Chaos of Life
Do you feel like your thoughts never stop racing? Maybe you’re overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with stress, or feeling disconnected from the peace you crave. It can be hard to find balance when life feels so heavy. The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’m Marcia Murphy, and I’m passionate about helping people like you quiet the noise, regain balance, and discover a path to healing. Using a holistic approach, we’ll address what’s weighing you down and work toward building a life of purpose, peace, and connection.
A Holistic and Collaborative Approach
True healing comes when we address every part of who we are—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Counseling is a partnership, and I’ll work alongside you to uncover your strengths, navigate challenges, and build a path toward hope and fulfillment.

Support Rooted in Faith
For clients who desire it, I offer Christian counseling, blending evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a biblical worldview. Together, we can explore how your faith can provide strength and direction as we navigate life’s challenges. If spirituality isn’t a focus for you, I’m equally committed to providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to help you work toward your goals.
Overcoming Anxiety with Practical Tools
Anxiety can feel like a never-ending loop of worry, fear, and tension. Whether it’s intrusive thoughts, constant stress, or physical symptoms like racing heart or sleepless nights, anxiety doesn’t have to control your life. I use techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe unhelpful thought patterns and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to build practical coping skills. Together, we’ll equip you with tools to calm your mind and regain control.
Healing from Emotional Abuse
Emotional abuse can leave deep scars—affecting your sense of self, your relationships, and your ability to trust. If you’ve experienced manipulation, gaslighting, or control in a relationship, you might feel stuck or unsure how to move forward. I specialize in helping individuals recover from emotional abuse, rebuild their confidence, and reclaim their voice. Together, we’ll work to understand the impact of those experiences, set healthy boundaries, and create a life that feels safe, fulfilling, and free.
The Power of Mindfulness
Mindfulness is one of the most effective ways to quiet an anxious mind. By learning to focus on the present moment and letting go of “what-ifs” and “should-haves,” you can create a sense of calm in your daily life. I’ll guide you in incorporating mindfulness practices that fit your lifestyle, so you feel more grounded, focused, and at peace.
My Credentials
I earned my MA in Counseling from Eastern University in 2019 and have experience working with clients in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as facilitating group sessions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania.
Fun Facts About Marcia
When I’m not counseling, you can find me exploring local parks and nature preserves, enjoying needlecrafts, or ringing handbells. I’m part of Philadelphia Bronze, an advanced-level handbell ensemble, and I also serve on the worship team and work with the youth at my church. Music and nature bring me joy, and I love using those passions to connect with others.
Take the Next Step Toward Peace
Anxiety, stress, and life’s challenges don’t have to define your story. If you’re ready to calm your mind, find balance, and live with intention, I’d love to support you on this journey. Let’s start creating the life you’ve been longing for—together.
