Hello there you beautiful human! My name is Krysta and I am most excited and passionate about helping humans find their whole magical selves. Whether you're struggling with a lifelong diagnosis, traumatic experiences that are interfering with your life, a recent crisis or setback, or are struggling to find your place in this life, I would be honored to work with you and help support you in all the next steps you are made to take. Life is hard enough as it is, throwing anything else on top of that can not only be overwhelming but often times incredibly lonely. You deserve to feel supported, empowered, and reminded that you aren't alone. I specialize in helping women of all ages find their power and voice as well on growing in their ability to see their value and gifts. In addition, I also specialize in working with ADHD women looking to enhance their own identity as a neurodivergent and powerful individual. As a neurodivergent human myself, it is a gift to get to meet and work with individuals looking to better understand their own magnificent (albeit creatively chaotic) brain. I offer a quiet space that is designed entirely around you and what you need.

You are welcomed with warmth, kindness, and respect. I am a humanist therapist, which means your recovery is yours to define, and it will come from your efforts with my support. We'll start by getting to know each other so I can understand your situation and get a feel for what it's like to face the challenges you face. Sometimes just being seen like that is enough; other times we realize we have some bigger work to do, and that's okay too. We approach it all with curiosity and gentleness.

Hi, Im Jeanne! A licensed professional counselor, school Counselor, college professor and the founder of JM Counseling & Wellness. I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, divorce and separation, parenting stress, and major life transitions. I understand how overwhelming life can feel when you're juggling responsibilities, managing difficult relationships, or simply trying to figure out what comes next. I have life experience in these areas (not just a clinician!) My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together we will work toward building confidence, establishing healthy boundaries, improving relationships, and creating a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Nouwen Taking the first step toward counseling can feel difficult, especially when you've been carrying so much on your own. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Hello. My name is John Petkac and I have been providing psychotherapy services for over 29 years. In addition to clinical psychology, I have background and education in music education, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My background and life experience gives me an ability to see a larger picture of situations in life and offer unique resolutions to things that may be occuring. I am a strong believer in the individual's ability to address and resolve their own issues. Through the process of therapy, we will explore what has been working for you and what has not. It is my belief and practice to treat the person, not the symptoms or the problem. We will work on building and adding to the skills you already possess to help you to build a more fulfilling life. An integral part of this process is assisting you in an increased understanding and awareness of yourself. Personal growth involves seeing and making informed choices. Therein lies the importance of self-awareness - there is no choice where there is no awareness. Raising a level of self-awareness increases your ability to have and make choices. Through exploration of these factors and possibly more, we will work toward a resolution that works for you and one that allows you to live a fuller and happier life.

That feeling you can’t quite put into words, the ache of wishing things had unfolded differently, missing the person you were before an illness, grieving the relationship you longed for, navigating the end of a marriage, or mourning the future you imagined for yourself or your child, that is grief. Grief is not limited to physical death; it touches every season of unexpected transition, unmet expectations, and profound life change. Walking alongside individuals through these tender, vulnerable spaces is my life’s work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients across Pennsylvania and Delaware, my clinical passion is rooted in helping people navigate grief in all its forms. That dedication was shaped by over a decade of experience in hospice care, where I learned firsthand how honoring pain allows healing to begin. Because no two journeys of loss look the same, my approach is deeply person-centered and trauma-informed. I view your story through a family systems lens, recognizing how relationships, roles, and family dynamics shape how you carry pain. In our sessions, we balance gentle, compassionate space with practical tools, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize, gently challenge, and reframe the automatic negative thoughts that often accompany sorrow, guilt, and uncertainty. You do not have to carry this alone

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating a major life transition, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and begin moving forward. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and proud graduate of West Chester University, where I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work. I have been working as a therapist for the past four years, and I entered this field because of my passion for helping others and supporting people in creating meaningful, positive changes in their lives. My approach to therapy is warm, relaxed, and person-centered. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as your authentic self, feel heard, and know that you are accepted. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, not about having all the answers, but about understanding yourself, recognizing your strengths, and finding what works best for you. Life can be messy and unpredictable, and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, support, and encouragement as you navigate challenges, grow, and work toward the changes you want to see in your life. You deserve to feel supported just as you are. When you're ready, I'm here to help.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, panic, chronic worry, stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also work with clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone. In my practice, this means we focus on both understanding what’s happening in this moment and identifying patterns that no longer serve you. Depending on your needs, I may also integrate mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, behavioral activation, and attachment-focused interventions to support deeper emotional healing and stability. My approach focuses on building real-life tools to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control. It is structured, supportive, and collaborative. CBT is a major focus of my work, meaning we identify thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavioral cycles that keep anxiety, depression and low self esteem going—and actively work to change them in practical ways.

I am Nakia, a licensed clinical social worker in Philadelphia, and over the past 13 years I’ve had the privilege of supporting people in both mental health and healthcare settings. That experience taught me that real progress begins when you feel heard and respected. My practice is built around a client-centered approach, so you’re never a passive participant in your care. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you and work at a pace that feels right. I work with adults and older adults facing difficulties in life including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, and the unique challenges many women experience. Sessions are available in person and by telehealth, so support can fit into your life. I’d be glad to hear from you.

Hi! I’m Naomi, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I truly enjoy helping people feel heard, understood, and supported. My background in case management has helped me appreciate how different areas of our lives impact our overall well-being, which is why I believe in looking at the whole person, not just what brings them to therapy. I have experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, women's issues, self-esteem, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and building healthy coping skills. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where you can be yourself, feel free to talk openly, and know you won't be judged.

Hi, I'm Courtney! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who is passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves, navigate life's transitions, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I especially enjoy working with adults who are unpacking complicated family dynamics, processing childhood experiences, or recognizing patterns from their upbringing that continue to impact their lives today. I also love supporting people navigating major life transitions, whether that's adjusting to parenthood, starting a new career, experiencing changes in relationships, or simply figuring out who they are in a new season of life. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that understanding where our patterns come from can help us create meaningful change. I integrate relational therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients develop greater self-awareness, strengthen boundaries, manage anxiety, and feel more confident navigating life's challenges.

Do you feel overwhelmed by life’s constant demands? Are anxiety, intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, or low mood making it difficult to feel like yourself? I’m here to help you navigate difficult times and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe healing begins with a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship—one grounded in compassion, respect, and personalized care. I work with adults ages 18 and older who are experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan that honors your unique strengths, values, and lived experiences. My approach is warm, active, and collaborative. I draw from person-centered, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and solution-focused therapies, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety-related concerns. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and build on the strengths you already possess. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences with honesty and curiosity. My goal is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to help you develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and the confidence to create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

I am a clinician with a broad range of experiences.

In addition, I have also worked in outpatient services with adults from various walks of life.

Hi, I'm Malika! Have you ever felt like you were wearing a mask around everyone else? That you are truly the one exception to the rule that everyone is deserving of love? That you are actually the one person in this world who must be perfect, the funniest, the most attractive? Or that there's just something "off" inside you or within your life? I work collaboratively with help my clients to help them increase their self-worth, strengthen their relationships, and develop an awareness of their emotional responses by exploring the deeper "roots" behind our protective parts of self. I believe that through exploring deeply held beliefs about oneself and the world, and accepting all parts of self, that people can achieve growth and change. Together, we will use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Therapy can be an uncomfortable and challenging process; however, it is truly a rewarding journey towards self-acceptance. As isolating as it can feel, you are not alone in these experiences. Change is possible and I would be honored to be apart of your journey towards embracing the traits and characteristics that make you uniquely you.

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.

“Warm, comical and dedicated” are three words to describe my therapeutic vibe. I combine theory with practical application to curate the life being asked to live through you. With experience in outpatient mental health, inpatient psych, and hospice care, my focus is on how individual therapy is a space for curiosity, personal growth, relationship, and ultimately one of the most powerful containers for transformation, expression and understanding.

I would describe my work as collaborative. I believe that people are the experts on themselves, and that my job is to collaborate with them to help them build the life that they want. In my work with clients, I take the time to get to know who they are, what their life has been like, what are their struggles and what are their strengths.

I’m a down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as yourself—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, trauma, and the moments when life simply feels overwhelming or uncertain. My approach is open-minded, collaborative, and solution-oriented. I want to understand not only what you’re struggling with, but also who you are, what has shaped you, and where you want your life to go. Together, we can make sense of patterns, build on your strengths, and identify practical ways to move forward. You can expect warmth, honesty, curiosity, and a little humor when appropriate. I believe therapy can hold space for difficult emotions while still helping you recognize your own ability to create meaningful change.

I'm a licensed therapist with a passion for helping people unearth the strengths that are already inside of them. I enjoy supporting individuals navigating identity, life transitions, relationships, and the challenges that come along with being human. My approach draws from different modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help identify what matters most to you and take steps towards those goals; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to help you build skills to navigate difficult emotions; and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), to help you recognize and challenge self-critical thoughts. I believe therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself and explore what may be keeping you stuck, and you've already taken the first step by being here.

As a two-time breast cancer survivor myself, I bring both professional training and personal understanding to this work, not because I have all the answers, but because I know that no two experiences are the same.

I work with family caregivers as well as the nurses and healthcare professionals who carry this work every day. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and neither does healing. Whether your loss is recent or resurfacing years later, whether you're newly diagnosed, deep in treatment, in survivorship, or supporting someone you love through it all, you deserve a space that is entirely yours. A place to say the things you can't say anywhere else. I see clients via telehealth across Pennsylvania.

Hello, and welcome — I’m so glad you’ve landed on my profile! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Behavior Specialist in Pennsylvania. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and have been working in the mental health field since 2014. Most of my career has been in Intensive Behavioral Health Services (formerly BHRS), where I served as a therapeutic staff support (TSS), mobile therapist, and behavioral specialist. I worked primarily with children ages 2–16, much of that time in elementary school settings. My work focused on supporting children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with ADHD and mood disorders, while collaborating closely with parents and teachers. I also have experience as an in‑house school therapist, again working with elementary‑aged students and their parents. Although my background is rooted in child and family work, I have also supported adults through IBHS and outpatient settings. Throughout my career, I’ve spent meaningful time counseling families and partnering with educators, giving me a well‑rounded understanding of the challenges parents and teachers face.

Welcome! I'm Deborah Strouse, LCSW, a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nearly two decades of clinical experience. I graduated from Temple University with my master's degree in 2007 and hold a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) Credential in PA . My personality is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is a real bond and the ultimate key to your success in therapy. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I draw from both my professional training and my own rich life experiences-- from the discipline of practicing karate to the groundbreaking peace of nature foraging, kayaking, and hiking-- to provide a safe, affirming virtual sanctuary for my clients. In my work, I blend mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, leaning heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing. This means our sessions will combine deep, compassionate listening with the development of tangible, real-world emotional regulation skills. My ideal clients are resilient individuals navigating the complex, often overwhelming waters of major life transitions, profound stress, and identity exploration. Many belong to underserved populations or the queer community and are seeking a non-judgmental space to process change. Whether you are enduring the raw weight of a divorce, facing sudden career shifts, or working through deep-seated anxiety, I know how freezing and terrifying these moments can feel.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years of clinical experience and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. My work is grounded in existential therapy, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they navigate identity, meaning, grief, and life transitions. I believe deeply in the capacity for LGBTQ+ people not just to survive, but to thrive, and my passion lies in walking alongside clients as they explore what a more authentic and fulfilling life can look like for them. My approach is thoughtful, reflective, and relational. Rather than positioning myself as an expert with answers, I join clients as a fellow traveler. I approach each encounter as curious, present, and attuned, creating space for exploration, understanding, and self-compassion.

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.

I began my counseling career in 1991 working with individuals experiencing substance abuse and legal problems. This experience propelled my desire to become a clinical social worker. I earned a masters degree in social work in 1998 and have been a licensed clinical social worker since 2004. Over the last 20 years I have had the satisfaction and pleasure of counseling men, women, children, families and groups ranging in ages from 9 to 90 years old. They have been from Caucasian, African-American, Asian-Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern and Hispanic races and cultures. I have worked with people in various stages of their lives. I have provided counseling in community and mental health clinics, military installations and the Department of Veterans Affair’s Readjustment Counseling Service. Most of my career has been in outpatient environments. I am well versed and experienced in supporting clients experiencing a variety of problems. I will coordinate with medical and psychiatric providers and have a sound knowledge of the medications that are used by these providers to treat these problems. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you and help you out!

As an semi-professional musician I continue to enjoy playing piano, clarinet, flute, and violin.

I also enjoy bluegrass music and sang family's bluegrass band "Keep Off the Grass" for many years prior to our banjo player, my talented father, passing away. My friends describe me as unique, humorous and quirky; all qualities that I am proud to incorporate into the way I provide therapy.
