Getting to know Dr. Philip Sarpong

I’m a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, stress, and chronic pain. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Somatic interventions to address both mind and body. I’ve worked in hospital, primary care, and VA settings, supporting individuals coping with medical conditions, identity challenges, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical—I focus on helping clients understand patterns, clarify their values, and take meaningful steps toward change. I believe therapy should feel safe, authentic, and empowering. Whether you’re recovering from past trauma or managing everyday stress, I aim to provide tools for long-term growth, emotional balance, and improved quality of life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients often describe my style as calm, compassionate, and focused. I work to create an environment where you can explore difficult emotions without judgment and at your own pace. I emphasize collaboration—you’re the expert on your life, and therapy is a partnership where we tailor strategies to what works best for you. I use mindfulness, cognitive, and behavioral tools to help you build emotional flexibility, reduce avoidance, and reconnect with your goals and values. You can expect clear structure, practical strategies between sessions, and space for genuine conversation and reflection.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, we’ll discuss your history, current challenges, and goals to create a clear treatment plan together. I provide psychoeducation so you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful patterns, learning grounding or relaxation techniques, and developing healthier coping strategies. Over time, we’ll move toward practicing new skills, processing underlying experiences, and reinforcing lasting change. For trauma-related work, I use a paced and supportive approach—ensuring readiness before deeper processing. For anxiety or stress, I often incorporate exposure, mindfulness, and values-based interventions to help you regain confidence and control in daily life.
