My passion is working with children, teenagers, young adults, couples and families to process trauma and difficult experiences so they can experience growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. Through my work with individuals and family's I have learned the deep importance of understanding "what has happened" to people rather than viewing people through the lens of "what is wrong with people". Likewise, the importance of understanding one's family of origin and how this shapes our views of people and the world and impacts how we relate with people and navigate our world. I work from a relational, psychodynamic, family-systems, trauma-informed, and neurobiological perspective. Feel free to reach out for more information!

Throughout my 40-year career, I have seen people in almost all professional and community arenas (even jails). My work has been a mix of public and private sector involvement, including 11 years of community mental health service and 30 years of individual practice. I have extensive experience in both home- and office-based psychotherapy, program development, clinical supervision, and clinical innovation. Special populations have included people with developmental disabilities, children and adolescents at risk for out-of-home placements, people with substance abuse issues, and geriatric populations; as expected, all have experienced various forms of grief, loss, and trauma while navigating the simple task of living and surviving. If you modify the title of Johnny Cash's song I've Been Everywhere to I've Done Everything (except prison work), that pretty much sums up my years of professional experience.

Hi there, my name is Mitch, and I am a licensed professional counselor. Do you feel like you’ve lost control? Are you plagued by unwelcome, often self-critical thoughts? Maybe you’ve experienced a significant life event like the loss of a loved one, job, or relationship? You’ve no doubt tried to manage on your own but despite your best efforts, things aren’t getting any better. Well, you don’t have to go through this journey alone. Together, we can identify the challenges that are holding you back and help you to build the life that you deserve. Therapy can be intimidating, so if you’ve decided to seek help, then you’ve made a brave choice, and I believe, a wise one. For that, I’d like to congratulate you. And whatever the reason you’re struggling to achieve your goals, I believe I can help. I have over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of individuals, including those who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use, OCD behaviors, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. In our therapy we’ll address your needs by drawing from an array of researched-based models, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavior therapy, trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing. You will feel safe, heard, and respected in our sessions, but also motivated and ultimately equipped to implement the changes you want to see in your life. I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy up close, and I know it can work for you. Let’s embark on this journey together!

I help women claim their voice and break free from the cycle of narcissistic relationships. My clients learn how to thrive in the face of narcissistic relationships from past and present. We're a good fit if you're ready to break free from those repetitive, disempowering relationship patterns that make you feel disconnected and alone. I see you - stuck in patterns of self-doubt and perfectionism, feeling stifled, held back and burdened, disconnected from joy and flow and ease.  You're exhausted from never feeling good enough, and tired of relying on numbing out, quick fixes that only bring you temporary relief. You want a joyful, juicy, creative life—doing what you love while making a massive impact in the world. You want ease. You want your voice to be heard, and to be your powerful, Authentic Self in every area of your life. You're here to fulfill a Big Vision. You want high level conscious relationship and communication at home and at work. You’re ready to shed self-doubt and feel truly worthy. Your journey is my journey. I'm a recovering perfectionist and burned out healer. I’ve deeply struggled with being highly sensitive, holding back from expressing myself, and longing to be heard, understood, and valued because of my wounds from relationships with narcissists. I also have a BIG Vision, and I’m fierce about reclaiming my power. I’m the QUEEN of alchemizing any challenge into GOLD. For 25 years I’ve been supporting ambitious, visionary women to break through their glass ceiling.  In our work together, my clients finally feel safe. They trust themselves. They stop numbing and disconnecting. They play more, have more fun, and make more money. They make massive impact with joy and ease. All while being happier in the workplace and finally having the depth in their personal relationships they've been longing for.

Empowerment, Collaboration, Connection, & Healing It can be really hard to find a therapist who has similar identities and lived experiences. As a biracial/bicultural mother, psychologist, and associate professor, I recognize the importance of a therapist who gets it. My goal is to support you and honor your experience by listening to what you need from a healing space. I am gender-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and recognize the significance of race and culture. My therapeutic approach is best characterized by warmth, responsiveness, empowerment, and authenticity. I have extensive clinical experience and training working with individuals struggling with identity, relational problems, family of origin issues, trauma, self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress management. I meet you where you are with a range of psychological approaches and tools to help you increase awareness, identify relational patterns, build coping strategies, and feel empowered to live authentically. Outside of my practice, I teach graduate counseling courses, provide supervision, and publish on biracial identity, anti-oppressive training of mental health providers, and racism-based trauma.

My name is Justin! Do you feel like your life lacks meaning, significance, or depth? Do you often feel like you are only surviving and not thriving in life? I enjoy helping clients cultivate meaning making in their lives. Allow me to walk with you along your journey of reprioritization, goal setting, meaning making, and self-improvement. I strive to cultivate a judgement free space where clients feel safe to discuss whatever is having too great an impact on their life, offer easily implementable coping skills and strategies, discover short- and long-term strengths-based solutions, work with my clients in identifying meaning, and ways that meaning can be folding into consistent practices.

Hello and welcome to my practice. I’m a clinical social worker, which means that I passed a national exam, authorizing me to do psychotherapy after having earned a master's degree in social work (MSW). I listen to you to facilitate your listening to yourself. Let's talk and I'll explain. I work exclusively with people in their 20s and 30s who are discovering and creating their direction in life. Please disregard below, Age Groups (18 - 64) as this how the system is programmed and lacks your desire to grow and change! I understand the overarching goal of psychotherapy as strengthening the capacity for choice - of being in charge of your relationship with your thoughts, feelings and how you show up in the world. Your subjective experience of daily life is our territory. I’ve internalized ethics and theories so that I’m able to be present with you, your voice, your intonation, your expression. I've had scads of post-graduate education and continue to be an active learner. Please note: I charge $175 for appointments canceled within a 24hour window of the appointment; however, Monday appointments must be canceled by 5pm, Thursday. Let’s lean in; the way out is through.

If you need an appointment other than what is listed, please call me directly at 267-225-7838 so I can confirm your availability. I'm Shekhina, a Multiracial/Biracial Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my L-rd and Savior, in addition to a faith-based Psychotherapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Licensed Behavioral Consultant based out of Philadelphia, PA. I have an MS from Grand Canyon University and over 25 years of counseling experience. I have owned and founded The Counselor's Heart Therapeutic Services since 2019. My mission is to help individuals grow in their relationship with Jesus, identify the root of dysfunctional behavior, and break the cycle of sin, toxic patterns, and intergenerational trauma/generational curses. People often "move forward with time, but never move on," meaning they move on with time but never move on from past hurts. I desire to help clients move on to live productive and healthy lives through their faith in God without being haunted by past trauma.

Hi there, I am Avia and I am so proud of you for making it this far. If you've mastered the first challenge - you can beat them all! Are you here because you are feeling stuck, defeated by your own feelings, going through some challenges, or wanting to feel like yourself again? Either way - you are in the right place! Here we'll work together to identify what doesn't work and explore creative ways to finding your balance. We'll look for strengths and qualities you may have not known you had and get some practice of skills that can help you get closer to where you want to be. I will be sure to create a safe space for all that to happen and will utilize a variety of approaches to therapy to bring about a successful outcome. Similarly, I will be sure to be in tune with what speaks to you in an effort to promote progress and optimize your experience all around. Thank you so much for considering me as your counselor! I am looking forward to getting to know you and to becoming a part of your amazing self-improvement journey!

You may be seeking therapy for various reasons, or have the feeling it might help without knowing your specific goals. I believe therapy is an opportunity for growth through an authentic relationship, and through this human connection, we can discover your goals, needs, and hopes for therapy. I most often work with queer clients, neurodivergent folks, and those with mood disorders. I offer an honest, safe, and non-hierarchical space to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. I strive to support my clients in finding ways to thrive despite our oppressive world. If you are looking for a safe relationship to explore who you are and what you need, I would be honored to walk that path with you.

The only constant in life is change. I see my primary role as therapist to be acting as steward and support for a client as they grow and change. I strive to create a safe a supportive space where a client can explore their identity without fear of judgement. I also seek to support my clients during their road to recovery from past trauma, attachment issues, and relationship struggles. I have been working as a therapist trained in supporting folx identifying as LGBTQIA+ as well as trans and gender variant, and have had the honor of supporting teens and adults during their gender exploration and transition. I have exensive training and experience in this area, including training from the CHOP Gender Clinic and through the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia. Seeking therapeutic support can be a frightening and stressful experience and I seek to be a grounding support person who can provide the feedback and tools necessary to survive and thrive during this process.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Pennsylvania rather than a city like Philadelphia?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Scranton! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Pennsylvania.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
