PAX Mental Health: Compassionate Outpatient Therapy
Compassionate support from fully licensed therapists, in person at our Northeast Philadelphia office or through telehealth sessions.
Reaching out is often the hardest part—we make the next step simple. Whether you are coping with depression, grief, trauma, anxiety or a major change in your life, you do not have to figure it out alone.
A New Outpatient Mental Health Service from Prestige Home Care Agency
PAX Mental Health is the outpatient therapy service of Prestige Home Care Agency. For decades, Prestige has helped people across the Philadelphia region live with independence, dignity and compassion. PAX brings that same commitment to mental health care.
PAX operates as part of Prestige, under its own name, so you can easily find therapy services in one dedicated place. Our therapists are fully licensed and bring years of clinical experience to every session.
We know that asking for help can feel uncomfortable or even overwhelming. Our goal is to make that first conversation easy, respectful and free of pressure.
Therapy for a Wide Range of Mental Health Concerns
Our licensed therapists in Philadelphia support teens, adults, older adults, and families through a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, including, but not limited to:
Not sure which area fits? That is okay. Reach out and we will help you find the right starting point.
In-Person or Telehealth Therapy
Everyone’s schedule, comfort level and needs are different. PAX gives you the flexibility to choose the appointment format that works best for you.
Virtual Therapy (Telehealth)
Prefer to meet from home? Telehealth sessions let you connect with your therapist remotely through our HIPAA-compliant Google Meet platform, using either a computer or smartphone. Contact us to find out whether telehealth is available for you.
If any of this sounds familiar, you do not have to wait until things feel unmanageable. Reaching out early can make the next step easier, and our team is here to talk through your options with no pressure.
How Do I Know It Might Be Time to Reach Out for Help?
There is no single “right time” to start therapy, and you do not need to be in crisis to reach out. It may be time to talk with a licensed therapist if you notice that:
- Feelings of sadness, worry, irritability or emptiness have lasted for weeks and are not easing up
- You are having trouble sleeping, or you are sleeping much more than usual
- Work, school, relationships or everyday tasks are getting harder to manage
- You have lost interest in things you used to enjoy
- You are pulling away from friends, family or activities you care about
- You are relying more on alcohol, substances or other habits to cope
- A loss, a difficult experience or a big life change keeps weighing on your mind
- People close to you have said they are worried about you

Plan your next steps
Together with your therapist, you will decide how often to meet. Initially, sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis at a 60-minute interval, and you can discuss a different frequency as your needs change.

If you prefer the virtual option, you will need a device, whether a computer or smartphone that has access to Google Meets, a steady internet connection, and a private space with minimal distractions.
