I have always had a passion for helping people find their voice and their inner strengths.

I believe therapy works best when it feels human, safe, and real. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys walking alongside people as they sort through life’s challenges and begin to understand themselves more clearly. Many of the individuals I work with feel anxious, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of their direction. My role is to help you slow down, gain insight, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt therapy, and Bowen’s concept of differentiation. In simple terms, that means we explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. We look at the different “parts” of you that may be in conflict and help you develop the ability to stay true to yourself while staying connected to others. Over time, this often leads to healthier boundaries, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of balance. I value honest conversation and believe meaningful growth comes from awareness paired with action. Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate, but also practical. I want you to leave sessions with insight you can actually apply in your daily life. On a personal note, I’m married and a proud father of four adult children. I enjoy traveling, spending time on the golf course, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally. I believe growth doesn’t stop at any stage of life, and I try to live that belief myself. If you’re ready to understand yourself more fully and create lasting change, I’d be honored to support you in that process.

Hi, I’m Julie. I’m a therapist with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges—including anxiety, depression, trauma, and major transitions. I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages in a variety of settings, which has deepened my respect for each person’s unique journey. My style is warm and collaborative, grounded in trust, compassion, and genuine respect. I use an eclectic, strength-based approach to help clients build practical tools, navigate difficulties, and reconnect with what matters most. Above all, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly understood—because healing begins when you feel seen and accepted just as you are.

Hello. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, currently able to work with individuals residing in Pennsylvania, Delaware Washington, and Hawaii. As a mental health therapist, my focus areas include mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), life coaching, career advising and women's issues. I worked in education for over 15 years prior to starting in the behavioral health field, and gained an abundance of experience with neurodiversity as it pertains to ADHD and learning differences as well. I'm happy to provide psychoeducation on these and other topics as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I'm a short-term, solution-oriented therapist that focuses on identifying and relieving on mild-to-moderate mental health symptoms, likely related to newer onset life stressors: family and relationship issues, school and work, grief and loss, medical diagnoses, etc. Though I would love to serve all that are seeking mental health therapy, it's important that I remain within my scope of competence and scope of practice. Therefore, I'm ethically unable to accept clients seeking long-term/maintenance care or specialized interventions (e.g., trauma, OCD, etc.). My approach to therapy tends to resonate best with clients who are moderately motivated to truly seek out solutions to their issues and symptoms, and are willing to do the work- both in session, and out- to achieve the results desired. We collaborate to identify the issues, and put in the actual work to make change for resolution. Though I am a clinician that utilizes evidence-based practices and interventions, I would definitely say I'm also a bit of a life coach!

I received my training and education at Norfolk State University, Old Dominion University and Harvard Medical School .

My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and my work centers on helping people recognize the strengths they already carry. Just as a fish is built to swim and a bird to fly, I believe each of us has our own natural way of moving through life, and my role is to help you find and lean into yours. I work with adults and older adults who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and understood, in a space that is safe, warm, and free of judgment.

Since 2016 my experience has ranged from anxiety, depression and trauma to ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Experience and training have allowed me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults ranging from 15 and up as a mobile therapist and in office settings. Treatment modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Understanding the continuously changing environment and demands that impact mental health, I constantly look for and take advantage of educational opportunities of client-centered treatment modalities that ignite client participation for purposes of collaborative positive change. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor my passion is bringing healing to people who are struggling with some of life’s challenges. I believe that helping people understand and connect to their thought processes creates the foundation for positive change. Using a personable and empathetic approach to understanding people’s challenges, I have made it my purpose to guide and support clients on their journey to achieving and maintaining an improved quality of life. Every treatment approach is unique to the specific needs/goals of the client. Therefore, I take pride in developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship that allows clients the freedom to begin their healing process. I offer an environment that clients can feel safe in to explore and challenge themselves. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (as I take on my new role as a grandmom), traveling and reading. I am a huge advocate for self-care and strongly encourage my clients to engage in self-care activities. Some of what I enjoy the most are decorating, gardening and crocheting as hobbies.
