Netta Sadovsky

Netta Sadovsky (she/they), counselor at Voyage Healing, is a white, queer therapist and a second generation immigrant, passionate about the impact of systemic issues of power, privilege, and oppression on peoples’ day to day lives. Netta understands that visible and invisible identities, and the histories associated with those identities, are often felt by people on a very personal level. As a therapist, Netta’s approach is compassionate and engaged, offering respectful consultation as folks explore their inner world.

Netta holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work and Social Research from Bryn Mawr College (LSW), as well as a Master’s in Fine Arts (MFA). Netta has trained in Internal Family Systems, a therapeutic modality that is frequently utilized in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. In addition, Netta has trained in Tavistock Group Relations, Mindful Facilitation, and Psychodrama. Netta specializes in working with anxiety and depression, domestic violence and abuse, visual artists and creatives, and LGBTQIA+ folks.

With regards to method, Netta is most heavily influenced by Internal Family Systems and Relational Psychodynamic therapy, which together offer people a chance to explore the complexity of internal parts-of-self and how they show up in the body. By getting to know parts of oneself and exploring any conflict among them, people can unburden themselves of harmful beliefs and habits, while discovering large reserves of self love.

Netta has received training in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) through Voyage Healing of Philadelphia.

Eliot Klein

Eliot Klein, MA, MT-BC is a music therapist and counselor, with a focus on aesthetic experiences as gateways for healing and growth to occur. His trauma-informed approach emphasizes supported expression and the inner creative life as sources of strength and connection. He received a dual master’s degree in Music Therapy and Counseling from Drexel University in 2019, and was granted the Dean’s Clinical Service Award for work with underserved members of the community, pointing to the cultural humility and empathy central to his therapeutic work.

While at Drexel, he developed a strong interest in the overlaps between psychedelic therapies and music therapy, as powerful treatments for encouraging peak experiences and for processing emotions, memories, thought patterns and trauma. Music is an important part of the psychedelic experience, and Eliot is able to work fluently with this element, in addition to traditional psychotherapeutic exchanges.

Since 2019, Eliot has worked primarily with individuals in crisis, facilitating groups and individual sessions at the Horsham Clinic. He has received training in psychedelic therapy from SoundMind Center and Voyage Healing, and is currently receiving supervision towards becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Kelly Sweeney

Kelly Sweeney, (MS, LPC), is a senior therapist at Voyage Healing, specializes in working with emotional pain, traumatic experiences, or being stuck in self-defeating patterns can make life and relationships feel hard or even unbearable.

She believes that growth and healing are possible with hard work and effective support. “I strive to offer that support by creating a safe, non-judgmental environment in which we can collaboratively explore areas in your life where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless. With awareness, embodied presence, curiosity and even humor, we will work toward personal growth, self-acceptance and developing the capacity to take actions toward living a more empowered, authentic, meaningful daily life.”

Kelly also has significant training and experience in the treatment of eating disorders and body image issues. Her therapy approach incorporates experiential somatic learning, HAES principles, and evidenced based practices such as DBT, ACT and EMDR.

In addition to more traditional psychotherapy approaches, Kelly integrates principles and practices from her extensive training in yoga and the Feldenkrais Method of somatic education (sensorimotor learning), as well as hypnosis.

Kelly believes that ketamine and psychedelics may open new avenues for healing. She has trained at Voyage Healing, PRATI, and fluence to develop expertise in ketamine assisted psychotherapy.
