My name is Bianca Previdi, M.D. I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist practicing in center city Philadelphia. If you are looking for a therapist, I assume something about yourself you would like to change or improve. I offer comprehensive psychiatric treatment for older adolescents and adults struggling with various mental health concerns and seek to provide an individualized approach to treatment through therapy and/ or medications.
I believe we learn ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving at an early age and often repeat these patterns in our adult life even when they no longer are in our best interests. This may lead to symptoms such as anxiety or depression. Often, we are unaware of these patterns, feeling only the discomfort they produce. I practice insight-oriented psychotherapy that assists in revealing and resolving these unconscious patterns and conflicts driving their symptoms while also working with patients to develop strategies for change. I desire to truly understand the person seeking my help and collaborate to guide the healing process.
I help individuals find a resolution to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues with compassion. I believe people get better when they feel understood. I treat the entire person, not just the symptom. I have a special interest in women’s mental health surrounding the reproductive life cycle (pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and postpartum) but enjoy working with men and women of all ages, cultures, races, and ethnicities. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for clients to work through their life’s stressors and mental health concerns.
