MARLA COBIN, PHD, LCSW

My passion for helping others started when I was young. With my first psychology class when I was 15, I knew I wanted to be a psychotherapist.  I am a licensed clinical social worker with an MEd and a PhD in Human Sexuality.  My private practice is in Philadelphia, PA, but I am licensed to work with folks residing in both PA and Delaware.  I provide both virtual and in person sessions.   My areas of focus include sexuality and trauma.  I am queer identified and work most with the LGBTQI community and women and adolescent girls.  I consider myself a client centered, relational, and culturally sensitive psychotherapist,.  I take pride in practicing decolonizing and liberation focused therapy.  My doctorate in sexuality gives me the background and ability to specialize in the areas of general sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sexual dysfunction. My practice as a trauma therapist and clinical sexologist is psychodynamic, using a combination of EMDR, IFS, Compassionate Inquiry, Solutions Focused coaching, and more.
