My clients describe me as warm, compassionate and supportive. Our first steps will be creating a space where you feel safe. The therapy process is then guided by your needs and preferences. Together we will explore the issues that have brought you to therapy. Difficulties in life are normal. You are not alone. And you will have me by your side as we figure out what feels right for you, and what are the best ways for you to achieve your goals.

When it comes to facing transitions in life, things can get difficult to manage. Although it can seem daunting and overwhelming at the onset of sessions, by the end of our therapy experience, together we will work on coping skills to address any concerns that may arise in the present and future. I started working in the Social Work field with children and families in the child welfare realm. I've continued the journey in the community health space with pregnant and parenting women and families. Throughout this time, I've continuously provided individual therapy to children and adults helping clients eliminate or diminish barriers that inhibit personal success. Seeking therapy can be scary at first but we will work together to remove the fear and gain access to successes that you didn't know were possible. I'd love to help you get to your level. You only need to take the first step!

Hi, I'm Coreen! Are you struggling to manage stress? Are your relationships suffering? Do you feel disconnected from yourself? I will help you explore your core identity and values as you work toward building the life you want. Together we will determine what is and is not working for you - mind, body, and spirit. We will also work on building new skills along the way. I practice with a humanistic, relational lens, working to build trust in an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment and support you in setting individualized goals to meet your needs.

Emotions, relationships, communication, loss, addictions, trauma, change. Life is a cycle of joy & pain, and at times, it may feel like the pain is winning. I believe you are powerful beyond measure, that you have all the answers and solutions you seek but the pain and circumstances of life often block your access to them. You may not fully believe how powerful you are now, but, if you allow me, I can help you find this truth. You are not broken. You don't need to be fixed. We all need some help now and then and helping others is the core of what I do. I've been empowering individuals since 1999. Using an extensive set of skills, combined with compassion, understanding, and a non-judgmental and collaborative approach, we will focus on restoration rather than pathology. Together we will restore and celebrate the courageous, and resilient you! I specialize in the healing of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, mood stabilization and addiction recovery. I hold a Masters in Psychology, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Clients have described my counseling style as transparent, authentic, and real. I am extremely competent, but I curse some, and I'll compassionately encourage your growth. You are important to me, and you will know this by how I give you my undivided attention during sessions.

Hi I am Jack Cottom a licensed professional counselor. I have been practicing psychotherapy for the past 10 years. I am native Philadelphian however have traveled quite a bit. Its actually one of my passions! I identify as a Black American male of African descent which gives me a certain perspective and experience of the world. I have a lot of experience working with folks who share my gender, ethnic, and racial make up as well as experience working with folks from many different demographics. I am open to working with anyone who is vested in healing and working through personal issues. I believe counseling is hugely powerful because through the relationship you are able to gain some awareness about yourself, learn some skills, and implement those skills to live the life that you ultimately want to live. My goal in my practice is to assist you with addressing the 'thing' that has you stuck in a certain place whether is a way of thinking and/or behaving, trauma , or lack of knowledge and/or skill. Again, my goal is to get you up, moving, and operating at your best levels AND most importantly feeling better!

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 10 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. I work with adults as well as couples. 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 there, I'm Colleen! Are you struggling to juggle all the tasks life has thrown at you? Do you feel so overwhelmed that you can't be present in your relationships? Is it difficult to give yourself credit even when it's deserved? It can be hard to navigate these struggles alone without support. My passion is helping clients reach self-awareness, identify unhealthy patterns in relationships and effectively build the skills to overcome stressors throughout their lifespan. The most important goal for me as a clinician is that my clients feel safe, seen and understood during our time together. I have 10+ years of experience in the human services/mental health field and have worked across various settings including the juvenile justice system, school setting, in-home treatment with children and families, and intensive outpatient and private practice settings. I approach treatment from an ecosystemic lens and my focus is engagement, empowerment and progress. I consider myself an eclectic therapist who caters treatment to best meet my client's needs. I subscribe to person-centered, solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral approaches with an emphasis on psychoeducation. My specialty is working with the teenage and adult population regarding issues such as depression, anxiety, isolation, life transitions, interpersonal relationships and boundaries, poor self-concept, and grief and loss. I also enjoy working with the entire family system to help understand core dynamics and help facilitate positive change. I truly look forward to the privilege of working alongside you to meet your personal goals and lead a more joyful, fulfilling life!

Hi, I'm Julie--it's nice to "meet" you! Anxiety and depression affect so many of us every day. Spiraling thoughts, racing heartbeat, inability to sleep, feeling withdrawn at social events--these are just a few examples of how our anxiety gets in the way of our enjoyment and ability to live our lives. Anxiety and depression also increase our stress level and may prevent us from having healthy interactions with coworkers, friends, family members. Think of it this way: if our mind has us focused on the past or the future, how can we enjoy our present relationships.

Hi this is Dhan! When you need a therapist, you need someone who can talk to you and listen to you wholly. I believe in meeting a person-in-place approach and building a rapport from there. You are taking time to read all this content as you might be trying to find help to manage your stress, anxiety, depression or trauma and thinking about who to turn to. Sometimes, you may be looking for someone to offer you choices, clarify issues or provide guidance to lead you on your way. I’m here to provide you with a safe space and listen to you non-judgmentally. I have extensive experience working with clients of different backgrounds and I am trained in most evidence-based mental health treatment modalities. Some mental health symptoms are culture-specific and you may want to explore them from your cultural perspective. My life-long goal is to provide culturally and linguistically relevant counseling and therapies. I have helped individuals and families to navigate through difficult situations with acculturation, adjustment and reducing barriers to access, manage and treat mental health. I will be using a collaborative approach to explore and utilize your strengths.

Hey, I am Alyssa. Are you looking for someone to help guide you through some life and behavioral changes that have been a struggle? Do you notice difficulty managing moods, communicating effectively with others, and/or giving yourself compassion? I am excited and ready to travel that journey with you and offer a nonjudgemental, safe environment, to build a real therapeutic relationship. I use evidence-based interventions within a dialectical behavior therapy approach that incorporates mindfulness skills and love and kindness. I center my practice around the belief that we are a team and need each other to achieve your goals, as you are the specialist on you, and I am the specialist on the skills. It can be scary reaching out for help, and I have a safe space for you to start! If you are struggling with a life event, daily stress, depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, or impulsivity there is hope. You do not need to feel stuck or alone in the struggle anymore! I look forward to working together.

We all need space to prioritize our thoughts and feelings, to say what we need to say out loud, to someone who will not judge us for how we think and feel. Oftentimes, we cannot expect the people in our lives to be impartial or unbiased. Sometimes the people in our lives are far too involved in what causes us to need this space, to process our trauma, and they might not realize why we are anxious or depressed. In the therapeutic relationship, it is all about what you want and need. I will listen and ask thoughtful questions and help you recognize patterns and make connections.

Hello and Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the state of Pennsylvania. For the past 15 years, I have been working with adolescents and adults that have struggled with domestic abuse and have symptoms of trauma such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, low self-worth, mistrust, and hopelessness, by helping them find their purpose and their "WHY". I help those who find it difficult to work through toxic or unhealthy relationships rather it be professionally or personally. I work with clients that experience emotional pain through their past trauma and help them break free from their pain where they regain their spark and power. Working with me, I will help you transform your emotional trauma into your strength. I have successfully helped clients write their stories, which are now books, about their past trauma and they have shared their stories with others so they too could encourage others to share their story and get the help they need, as there is power in sharing with others who are in similar situations. Again, it's about transforming emotional pain into power and strength. My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. As a mental health therapist, I'm here to empower you to see yourself as a being with a powerful life story. As we embark on your therapeutic journey together, I will always let you take the lead, after all, you are the expert on your own story. I won't always have the answers, but I will make a safe space for you to find them for yourself.

Hi, I am Sarah, a reproductive mental health therapist. Is your family planning journey not going as you and your partner had imagined? Are you experiencing infertility or grief over a pregnancy loss or failed treatment cycle? Is there added stress in your relationship right now? Are you literally going to scream if one more person says something unsupportive? Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or alone is common when you are going through so much. But you do not have to go through this difficult time alone. Experiencing reproductive trauma, anxiety, and immense grief can be common when faced with infertility or pregnancy loss. There are an array of feelings and experiences that you may be encountering during this sensitive time of your life. I know, because I have been there. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, specializing in reproductive mental health, I combine my clinical background and personal experience to offer a holistic and therapeutic approach. I currently work with both individuals and couples on their own individual paths during their family-building efforts. I will support you to navigate your relationship, fertility challenges, and losses by providing you, or you and your partner, space to tell your story, become aware of your feelings, and access your own healing power. Learn more about www.mulberrytherapeutic.com At this time, I provide individual therapy and couple’s counseling via telehealth services to clients residing in Pennsylvania.

Do you want to break free from what’s holding you back? Sometimes thoughts and behaviors we developed to overcome difficult times are no longer serving a purpose. We all come with positive and negative experiences that inform how we move through the world. Difficult experiences don’t need to define or control us. Together we will work to understand your story, develop self-compassion, and ultimately make positive, long-lasting change.

Hi there I am Lu Ann and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been so for 12 years in private practice. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing many different types of mental issues, such as, anxiety, depression, career issues, divorce trauma just to name a few. I use Family Systems Theory, Person-Centered and CBT theoretical approaches but others can be incorporated as needed. Christian based counseling is also offered if requested. I have found through the years most people are anxious about engaging in therapy due to the fear of being judged and not listened to. I believe that judgement does not belong in the counseling sessions. I am also a strong supporter of being a "listener". We all want someone to just listen to us and not judge. I strive to give that to my clients in every session.

Hi, I'm Cynthia. Do you find yourself struggling to get through your day to day, maybe due to lack of interest, low energy, or difficulty concentrating? Or maybe you find yourself exhausted by what seems like endless worries, inability to relax, and restless nights. These are just a few of the common presenting issues I have experience working with. I am very passionate about helping individuals dealing with mood related issues such as depression and anxiety. I also think it's safe to say that sometimes these symptoms can present due to big life changes and adjustments as well, even the positive life changes. If any of these scenarios resonate with you, I would be honored to work alongside you through it.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I help women tap into their resilience, restore hope, and transform their lives with authenticity, compassion, and a passion for seeing women thrive. I like to consider myself THE therapist for women. My mission is to help individuals navigate life’s difficulties to become the best possible versions of themselves. Both my clinical and personal experiences have taught me that, though we cannot control everything, we can control our behaviors, perspectives, beliefs, actions, and HEALING. I plan to equip you with the tools needed to promote your overall well-being and facilitate lasting positive change. I hold sessions with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulty navigating challenges and transitions. However, I specialize in perinatal mental health and infertility. In addition, I run a support group for women struggling with infertility. Through additional training and certifications, I have and continue to develop a variety of tools to support you, and I may use different techniques during our work together. Accordingly, my approach is best described as client-centered and strengths-based, drawing also on theories and strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy. When I am not practicing as a therapist, I am spending time with my family. We love to stuff our faces with tasty food and find new adventures. I also dabble in wedding photography as a creative outlet. But generally, you will find me advocating for women struggling with infertility and all the experiences it brings. I can't wait to work with you!

Hi All, My name is Linda, and I have a deep passion for helping folks grow to the heights they want to achieve. I have been a therapist for years, and have spent a great deal of time helping those who have experienced trauma. I love working with people and have a special place in my heart for the Arts and Music. For many years I owned a woodcraft and ceramic business and continue to keep crafts close to me. I also love music and love to play the organ, piano, and guitar. I was a non-traditional student and received my bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology in 1996 from East Stroudsburg University, then raised my own three children for a while. I returned to school and completed my master's degree in Social Work in 2020 from Capella University. I currently hold an LCSW in PA. I have taken many additional trainings in Trauma-informed counseling, DBT, EMDR, and of course crafts/painting. Helping folks care for themselves is extremely important in life’s struggles, and sharing the heart's desires helps us all navigate the world. It is with great anticipation that I get to know the uniqueness of you in a holistic environment where we can work on reaching the heights of your passion. I hope all my folks find me supportive and comforting on their journey in life. We can do this! See you soon!
