Therapists licensed in Pennsylvania

Hello! My name is Dr. Gabe Longhi. I am a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of accumulated clinical experience and 27 years as a licensed, trauma-focused psychotherapist, working with clients with the full range of mental health conditions and life problems. I consider it a genuine privilege to participate in your healing process, and your journey to a more vibrant, fulfilling future. My therapy style involves identifying and healing the root causes of just about every condition, including depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, addictive behaviors, and relationship difficulties, and assisting in developing new skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings, helping you become a more effective friend, family member, and intimate partner.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel real—not overly clinical or like you have to say the “right” things. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, trauma, and life situations that feel overwhelming or hard to manage. A lot of the people I work with feel stuck, drained, or unsure where to even start—and that’s completely okay. I’m both supportive and direct. I’ll meet you where you are, but I’ll also help you look at patterns, behaviors, and thoughts that might be keeping you stuck. My goal isn’t just to listen—it’s to help you actually move forward. My background includes working in high-stress environments and supporting people through complex challenges, including trauma and substance use. Because of that, I take a practical, down-to-earth approach that focuses on what actually works in real life—not just in theory.

Hello, My name is Pam, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've been working in the field of mental health in various roles for about 10 years now. I have done individual, group and family/systemic therapy and I have worked as a Clinical Director in a community mental health agency. Most recently, I've worked in a correctional setting. My priority in treatment is establishing a strong foundation of trust with my clients. I am laid back and relatable in many ways, and I tend to work from a strengths-based perspective. YOU are the expert on your life and we will build off of inherent strengths and skills you already possess.

I am a passionate professional who believes in continuous improvement, but also appreciating progress. I try to be an ally to my clients when and where I can, but will absolutely point out blind spots when I see them. I use Narrative therapy as my main philosophical approach to client situations, which really allows us to work together towards a resolution or answer. I have worked with Doctors, Lawyers, and many other professionals who needed an alternative perspective. I look forward to hearing your story and working with you to make changes.

For over thirty years I have had the privilege of providing therapy to individuals who have experienced challenges in life such as trauma, abuse and loss. In my work I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). The decision regarding which modality is used is a joint decision made with the client and myself based on an open discussion about my client's needs and what they are comfortable with.

Hi, I’m Malika Abdullah, MA, LPC. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable talking openly.

Hello! Do you feel a need to improve yourself, your relationships, or our life but find it is unclear or hard not to fall back into old patterns? This is especially true if you a part of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities as getting support and building community does not come with a guide and can change as you change. I can help through my lived experience as a Black, Non-binary polyamorous person who have had similar struggles navigating my life and my relationships.

I've always believed that most people aren't broken, they're stuck. And stuck is something we can work with. For 15 years I have worked with a wide range of people: veterans carrying wounds that never got proper attention, couples trying to find their way to a healthier relationship, individuals wrestling with OCD or trauma or habits they can't seem to shake, and families navigating transitions that turned their world upside down. I tend to be direct yet compassionate in the way approach therapy and to what my clients are dealing with. The best complement for me is when a client tells me how they felt seen and heard unlike they have had previously. I have a particular place in my heart for those living between worlds - racial minorities, expats, and members of immigrant communities who are navigating the push and pull of various socio-cultural forces. I understand that experience from the inside, not just from a textbook. If you are someone who is ready to engage honestly and wants a clinician who will meet you with both expertise and genuine care, please reach out.

Hi, I’m Cate! —a therapist, deep listener, dog lover, plant hoarder and firm believer that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. My practice is rooted in compassion, humor, and the radical idea that you’re allowed to put yourself first without feeling guilty about it. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, postpartum life, work/life balance, and the messy magic of figuring out who they are when they stop living for everyone else. Whether you're going through a major life shift or struggling to say "no" without a 4-paragraph explanation, you're in the right place.

Life can be hard at times and trying to figure out how to deal with difficult situations can become overwhelming. During difficult times I believe everyone can benefit from one-on-one support.

Hi I am Elizabeth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. While I have supported clients across all age groups, I currently work primarily with adults facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, grief, illness, and relationships. My focus is on helping clients navigate life's difficulties with a practical, strength-based and solution-focused approach.

I’m Crissy Miyake, a licensed clinical psychologist who understands the benefit of therapy and the difficulty in asking for help. Specializing in anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma recovery, my initial priority is always to create an interaction that feels authentic, safe, and welcoming. Former clients have described me as “down to earth,” warm, and direct. Sessions together will be an active collaboration and our conversations will be a mixture of guided topic discussion, structured discovery, and fluid exploration. I also naturally incorporate humor and often recommend resources (readings, worksheets, podcasts, etc.) to reinforce the work in between sessions.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and older adults. I’ve worked in a wide range of mental health settings—including inpatient and outpatient programs, schools, juvenile detention, family-based services, universities, prisons, and private practice—which has given me a deep understanding of how mental health needs evolve across the lifespan. After seeing how limited access to care was in rural Pennsylvania, I became an early advocate for telemental health. Today, I offer both virtual and in-person counseling, giving clients the flexibility to choose what feels most comfortable and accessible for them. Starting my own practice during the pandemic allowed me to create a healthier work-life balance while dedicating my full attention to providing compassionate, high-quality care. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel understood, and support you in building the tools you need to move forward with confidence and peace.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I primarily use a person centered and trauma focused narrative based therapeutic approach to help individuals understand their stories and explore the core wounds, pains, losses, relationships and longings that still impact them today. I also employ Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Interpersonal Neurobiology and more as needed and appropriate. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of presenting symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, PTSD, relational issues, parenting issues , men's issues and faith based issues. My hope is to create a space for you to be heard and seen, so you can feel supported on your journey of investigating your story with kindness and curiosity. My goal is that you would feel heard, see and known by me, as well as be able to offer that to yourself as well as experience that in other safe relationships in your life. I have background and experience as a Therapist and Social Worker in outpatient therapy settings as well inpatient psychiatric hospital, addictions, child welfare and ministry settings.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, providing care across a wide range of settings, including in-home services, outpatient therapy, and community mental health. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatrics, giving me a broad understanding of the unique challenges people face throughout life. Today, I specialize in working with high achievers who appear to have it all together on the outside but quietly struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, unresolved trauma, burnout, or the pressure of always being the one others rely on. I also enjoy supporting healthcare professionals, business owners, young adults navigating life transitions, and individuals who have left previous therapy feeling like something was still missing. Many of my clients already understand their struggles intellectually, yet still feel stuck emotionally. My approach goes beyond insight by integrating evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy with neuroscience, nervous system regulation, somatic techniques, and mindfulness to help create lasting change. Healing often requires more than changing your thoughts. It also involves helping your brain and body learn that you are safe. I believe therapy shouldn't end when the session ends. Together, we'll actively work toward your goals, and I often provide personalized worksheets, reflections, and practical exercises between sessions to help you apply what you've learned in everyday life. My passion for nervous system regulation is both professional and personal. My own journey with autoimmune illness deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and reinforced my belief in the body's capacity to heal and recover when given the right support. My goal is to create a space where you feel deeply understood, challenged with compassion, and empowered to move beyond surviving toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentically yours.

Hello, and welcome! My introduction to the counseling field began while working within therapeutic group homes that served children through adults experiencing mental health struggles. This experience, both enriching and meaningful, inspired my interest in pursuing counseling. I was deeply moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University and since, I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings, and more recently, at a college counseling clinic at the University of Montana. Within these programs, I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors. I am grateful that I can work to help individuals navigate the evolving nature of their lives by providing unconditional positive regard, encouragement, and supportive guidance.

I work with men who think deeply, care a lot, and feel worn down by demands of modern life. You may be managing stress that shows up across multiple areas—career, relationships, identity, spirituality. Part of you wants things to be different, while another part feels unsure. This isn't a problem, but a starting point. We move at a pace that respects where you are and recognizes that progress doesn’t have to be dramatic to be therapeutic. You're taking that first step toward a life that feels not only manageable, but meaningful.

I am licensed with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & intimacy related issues.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Over the past four years, I’ve provided therapy in outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment, higher education, and private practice settings.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of North and South Carolina. I graduated from Liberty University in 2013. My approach to counseling is very eclectic and person-centered. I have experience in the utilization of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy (FT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and I also assist clients with implementing forms of meditation into their daily lifestyle. I aim to empower each person I am allowed to serve, and to assist them with understanding that each person can heal, cope, and/or adapt despite life's challenges. The power to create change is within each one of us, and my job is to assist you with that process.

Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out alone. I bring a warm, open, and deeply caring presence to our sessions, ensuring you feel completely safe and heard from day one.

Let's work together to unlock your strengths and move you forward.

Do you need guidance in finding happiness and fulfillment in your life? Do you need someone who can help find your strengths? Are you having trouble achieving healthy relationships because of childhood wounds, traumatic experiences or low self esteem? I believe that your past experience made you who you are today.

Don't leave yourself alone with your suffering. Let's work together to find meaningful purpose in your life's turmoil. Emotional and psychological traumas happen to everyone. It can be caused by a one time event, ongoing relentless stress or commonly overlooked events such as work, death, break-up/divorce, surgery, humiliating experience or childhood attachment wounds. Working through trauma alone is daunting, lonely, re-traumatizing. A trauma specialist can help with your healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who centers my practice around working with adolescents and young adults who wish to address self-exploration and identity development, navigation of conflict in relationships, and the impact of trauma on current life experiences. I find it important to ground our therapy in trust, then we can begin to explore your emotional experience as a way to understand how you navigate your present. I have spent nearly a decade centering my practice around working with young people and building resilience around what life has thrown their way. Through Talk Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, we have addressed ways to process and heal from trauma and loss. Through using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we have addressed addictive behaviors ranging from toxic relationships to substance use. Through my relational approach, I have watched my clients accept the challenges they need to face and accept aspects of who they are that don't need to change at all. I integrate the intersection of therapeutic work and social justice work whenever possible, ensuring that our work is contextualized within and in opposition to the oppressive systems that govern our society. Additionally, as a school social worker, I am also able to assist with any school-based concerns you may be experiencing.

I believe meaningful change happens through authentic connection and genuine understanding of your unique story. With years of clinical experience, I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can feel truly seen and supported. I work with individuals across the lifespan—young adults, adults, and elders—navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, sleep issues, work stress, life transitions, and much more. My approach is flexible and tailored to you, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction, strength-based work, and humanistic practices. Whether you're working through a specific challenge or seeking to move beyond survival into genuine growth and fulfillment, I'm here to help you find your way.
