My name is Randi Platt, M.Ed. and I am the Executive Director and co-founder of Hornstein, Platt and Associates. I have been a Psychotherapist for over 29 years helping clients in the Philadelphia area.  While maintaining a broad practice treating common concerns like depression, grief, anxiety, stress and relationship struggles, I specialize in working with couples, those in the LGBT community, people in recovery, and individuals having difficulty managing their money. At this point I address interpersonal issues from a coaching perspective, bringing a depth of knowledge gained from years of providing psychotherapy.

I view the process of coaching as a partnership: you are the expert in the details of your life experience and I offer expertise in the process of change.  I am active and engaging while working to create an atmosphere of safety and trust where you can reveal your concerns at your own pace.  Clients have often told me that I am very direct in gentle ways. This has led to their common experience of being surprised by their level of comfort, sharing and insight. I also have a very practical focus, which includes translating pain into understandable causes, and growth into a clear set of action steps.  Lastly, when appropriate I include my personal experiences and sense of humor  in the coaching I provide.  These factors have been found to be important in forming healing connections, and hopefully make the process of your growth enjoyable.
