I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over five years of experience supporting people through cancer, serious illness, grief, and loss. 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. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human. I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. 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.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be real, feel supported, and grow at their own pace. As a High School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor, I've spent the past 5 + years supporting adolescents and adults through life's transitions, challenges, and self-discovery. In our work together, I'm not just your therapist, but also your biggest supporter. I'll challenge you when needed, celebrate your wins (big and small), and create a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Outside of sessions, I love trying different workout classes - right now, Pilates is my favorite. It helps me stay grounded and reminds me how important it is to take care of both mind and body - something I truly believe in for the people, I work with too. I'm looking forward to connecting with you for a safe place to slow down!

I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s underneath the surface. I’m interested in who you are, not just what’s wrong. My goal is to create a space that feels real, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental, where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and move toward something that feels more connected and meaningful.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in the same patterns? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 25 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and families create healthier relationships, manage anxiety, and build emotional resilience. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Ecosystemic Family Structural Therapy (EFST) to help clients better understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify negative or recurring thought patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges, and develop practical tools to create lasting change. Whether your child is struggling emotionally, your teen feels overwhelmed, or your family is facing challenges in communication or connection, therapy can provide support, clarity, and effective strategies for growth and healing. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward with confidence. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but meaningful change is possible. I look forward to supporting you and your family on that journey.

I became a therapist because I believe that understanding yourself — really understanding yourself — is one of the most courageous things a person can do. I'm Beth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a practice built around one core conviction: that the patterns keeping you stuck didn't come from nowhere. They made sense once. And with the right support, they can change. My work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic and attachment theory, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — which means we'll work on both the surface and the depth. What's happening now, and where it comes from. The stories you tell yourself, and the earlier experiences that wrote them. I bring warmth, directness, and genuine curiosity to every session. I won't just reflect your words back at you — I'll engage with you, challenge you thoughtfully, and stay right alongside you in the hard parts. I work with thoughtful adults who are tired of putting everyone else first — people who struggle to say no, who've lost touch with what they want, who are navigating relationship stress, divorce, family conflict, anxiety, or major life transitions. I've done my own deep work. I know what it costs to stay stuck, and I know what becomes possible when you finally stop. I'd be honored to be part of that journey with you.

Being unhappy can take you by surprise. Sometimes the cause of it seems clear, like a sudden break up or the death of someone close to you. Other times it’s harder to say. You might be in a relationship that no longer feels the way it once did. You may have moved to a new place or started a new job and find yourself unsettled. Or you may feel that everything is “going well,” yet still, for whatever reason, you just aren’t happy. If any of this sounds like you, I can help.I specialize in treating adults struggling with life transitions, dating and relationship problems, adhd and other neurodivergent experiences, and depression and loneliness. My background and style are in client centered, psychodynamic therapy, in which I can help you to work through both the imminent problems that brought you to therapy, as well as the sometimes more deeply hidden problems that precede and inform these present day problems. I have a decade of experience working in a number of clinical settings, and prior to that have a background in the humanities and philosophy. My own experience working through both psychological and philosophical questions informs my work with clients. I believe that therapy can be a great place to really work through your thoughts about your life, with the benefit of an outside participant who can listen with openness and curiosity.

Taking the time to start therapy and acknowledge our own personal struggles is the first, and often times, most difficult step in the healing process. I believe that therapy can offer the space for one to process relationships, career changes, grief, and life transitions in depth with safety and clarity. As a therapist, I aim to offer insight in helping clients identify their own values and assist them in aligning said values with their life choices to connect one's sense of self. I also help clients explore how their experiences may have impacted them and offering ways one can use that understanding for self healing and growth.

Hi, I’m Mimi, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. If you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life transition, struggling with stress, anxiety, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you. Over the past four years, I’ve worked in outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment centers, higher education, and private practice. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. I especially enjoy working with adolescents, college students, and young to middle-aged adults, and I am passionate about providing culturally responsive care to individuals within the BIPOC community. I believe you deserve the opportunity to experience emotional wellness, personal growth, and greater clarity in your life. Healing is a journey that takes time, support, and self-reflection. At Ponder and Process Counseling Services, LLC, I provide a warm, supportive environment where you can explore challenges, process life experiences, gain insight, and develop the tools needed to move toward meaningful and lasting change. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and taking long walks with my dog. These activities help me stay grounded and present—qualities I strive to bring into each therapy session. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, knowing that you will be met with compassion, respect, and understanding.

This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation.
