Hi, I’m Julie — I’m glad you’re here. Life can feel overwhelming at times. Maybe your thoughts won’t slow down, you’re constantly worrying about what comes next, you feel stretched thin by the demands of everyday life, or you’re struggling to understand why certain things seem harder than they should. Sometimes, we simply need a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what we’re experiencing, and figure out what we want moving forward. I primarily work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, and women’s mental health concerns. I’m especially interested in helping people better understand how their minds work and how their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences all connect. I also frequently work with women through the many transitions and challenges that can come with fertility issues, pregnancy and postpartum. My style is warm, energetic, and conversational. I’m engaged, curious, and genuinely interested in getting to know you. I want therapy to feel like a collaborative space where you can be yourself, talk openly, laugh when it feels right, and work together toward meaningful change. In therapy, I believe you should feel supported without feeling like someone is telling you how to live your life. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in your way, identify your strengths, and find practical strategies that fit you, specifically! I love seeing people take charge of their lives, whether we are setting meaningful goals, trying new approaches, discovering what works, and gaining confidence along the way. Therapy is a place to process what you’re going through, but it can also be a place to discover where you want to go next. My goal is to help you feel more understood, grounded, and confident as you move forward.

Do you feel as though no one understands you? As if you have intense feelings that other's don't understand? As if you are stifled and emotionally dysregulated? My best gift is my ability to connect to and understand other's emotions. My client's feel heard and understood, which is the first step in creating change in their life. <br> I am a LCSW with 15 years experience. I am certified EMDR and, yes, we can do it virtually!

Life is hard. Sometimes it feels like problems come one after another. It is overwhelming. You don't have to get through it alone. Therapy is a great place to talk about life's problems where you can say anything and not be judged. No matter what you’re facing, talking with someone can help. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel like you’re grabbing coffee with a friend…a friend who happens to be a licensed counselor with more than 11 years of experience. In my time working as a counselor, I have helped patients manage and overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. From challenges with the overwhelming pressure of academic life, work life, career choices, relationship challenges, and more, I will be there to offer an objective perspective on your situation and provide healthy tips and resources to navigate it. My approach empowers personal growth while always ensuring you feel safe, seen, and heard. Depending on your needs, I utilize CBT, DBT, and Reality Therapy approaches in sessions. Currently, all sessions will be conducted virtually, allowing you to participate from the comfort of your own home and on a more flexible schedule. Let's do this together.

Hi, I’m Kyra, a licensed clinical social worker who offers depth-oriented therapy for thoughtful, sensitive, and insight-seeking adults. Many of the people I work with are carrying trauma, grief, shame, relationship wounds, creative blockage, spiritual questions, or a sense that they’ve spent too long disconnected from their own inner life. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in depth psychology. I help clients look beneath surface symptoms to understand patterns, emotional realities, and the deeper meanings shaping their lives. This work is often especially meaningful for people who are reflective, neurodivergent, creative, spiritually curious, or simply looking for something more honest than quick fixes. Before private practice, I worked for years in rape crisis, domestic violence, social service, and carceral settings with people impacted by trauma, oppression, instability, and violence. That background continues to shape my work in a profound way. I bring warmth, seriousness, and a strong social justice lens to the therapy relationship. If you are looking for therapy that is thoughtful, nonjudgmental, depth-oriented, and open to real inner work, we may be a good fit.

In our work together, I provide a grounding, warm, and structured space where you can catch your breath and feel truly heard. My approach combines practical coping tools with holistic, compassionate guidance to help you build clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.

Hello, I am so glad you are here :) I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research and have been practicing for 6 years. I help young adults struggling with their identity and sense of self, learn to create the life they want, and love the life they have. My strengths involve: creativity, resourcefulness, sense of humour, ADHD as a superpower, and having walked from Mexico-Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2014.

I'm Shekhina, a Multiracial/Biracial Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my Lord 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 hold an MS from Grand Canyon University and have over 25 years of experience in counseling. I have owned and founded The Counselor's Heart Therapeutic Services since 2019. My mission is to help individuals grow in their relationship with Yeshua (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 aim to help clients move forward to live productive and healthy lives, guided by their faith in God, and free from the burden of past trauma.

Hi there, I'm Erin. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with individuals as well as groups regarding various mental health concerns.

In our sessions you will have the space and support to work through the challenges you are facing.

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with more than 16 years of professional counseling experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I am a Licensed Professional Therapist specializing in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults as an advocate and educator. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Counseling from Villanova University and B.A. in Psychology from Rutgers University. My goal is to meet clients where they are emotionally/mentally/spiritually and help them reach the highest potential of themself through collaboration.

You will notice my positivity and patience at first, then my passion in practice.

Life can be stressful and I'm here to help you cope with life's struggles so you don't have to continue carrying these issues alone. I like to take my time getting to know each unique individual and provide a safe and respectful environment to establish an open and trustworthy relationship. During our time together, you will learn to reflect on what you are experiencing and work on practical solutions to immediate problems while explore maladaptive patterns of thinking, behaviors ,and feelings that stem from past experiences. I will also work with you and support you on your journey to embrace positive lifestyle changes. I offer individual sessions and specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, racial trauma, and racial identity.

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.
