Hi there! I'm Nadine. I am a bubbly, kind, and caring therapist. I go above and beyond for my clients, and I am so glad that you have taken this step in your healing journey. Deciding to begin, try, explore, or re-start therapy can be a nerve-wracking choice to make. Then you are given this huge task of choosing a therapist. Ugh! So, why choose me? Well, first of all, I am a normal person. I am not stuffy or a therapist that just tells you that you are always right. I am a human that speaks with you like you are also human! I have a great memory, I am engaging, and I like to think I also make therapy fun! If you feel like we might be a good fit, why not give meeting with me a try? If we aren't the right fit, no worries. I just want you to get the help that you feel is right for you. Hopefully we meet soon!

Hello, my name is Mr. Frazier, and I have been a therapist for more than 30 years, working with individuals across a variety of therapeutic settings. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience through my work with clinics, agencies, and hospitals, developing the knowledge and insight that I now bring to my practice. Before becoming a therapist, family members, friends, and even colleagues from previous occupations often shared that I was someone who was easy to talk to and made them feel comfortable opening up. Along with my natural ability to connect with people, my education, clinical training, and years of experience working with diverse populations inspired me to continue expanding my ability to help others. Throughout my professional journey, I have had the privilege of meeting and collaborating with individuals from small-town communities, major cities, and a wide range of cultural and personal backgrounds. These experiences have reinforced my belief that every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and success, regardless of their current circumstances.

I pride myself in being an adaptable person who has had the privilege of experiencing many different life circumstances. I was raised in rural Pennsylvania and have recently moved back after 10 years in Philadelphia. I have maintained exceptional roles from previous employers within the field of social work. I bring curiosity and understanding to each session with the goal of helping individuals take one more step in their journey of self discovery and acceptance. I believe that exploring the depths of human complexity and emotion is a life long journey that can be difficult yet beautiful. I have most experience in working with individuals with eating disorders, anxiety, and depression as well as with families in the capacity of case management and family therapy. I have a pretty straight forward approach and would be asking the hard questions. My style is reciprocal in the sense that I would expect the same straight forward honesty from my clients. I hope to promote the idea that individuals can be their authentic self within the space that I would help create for them. I have had the privilege of working with different populations of people. I will always do my best to ensure that I can provide support that is compatible for the individual. My intention is to provide empowerment and support for anyone who is open to working on that with me.

Navigating life’s complexities requires more than just a listening ear; it requires a structured, evidence-based approach tailored specifically to your goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and Pennsylvania, I bring a unique, multidimensional perspective to our therapeutic sessions. My work is informed by over two decades of experience blending clinical psychotherapy with a strong background in instructional design and corporate facilitation. In our sessions, I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to explore your challenges. Whether you are navigating professional burnout, life transitions, or seeking to improve your personal well-being, I integrate traditional therapeutic techniques with practical, actionable strategies. I believe that therapy should not only provide insight into the "why" behind your experiences but also equip you with the "how"—the concrete skills and cognitive tools needed to foster lasting change. My approach is highly collaborative. I view our relationship as a partnership where we work together to design a roadmap for your growth. My background in coaching and facilitation allows me to bridge the gap between deep emotional exploration and behavioral implementation. I am particularly passionate about supporting individuals who are managing the high-pressure demands of career development while balancing the complexities of family and personal life. Taking the first step toward therapy is a significant commitment to yourself. My goal is to ensure that our time together is efficient, compassionate, and deeply impactful. Whether you are seeking a fresh perspective on a long-standing issue or are ready to implement new strategies for success, I am here to help you navigate the path forward.

I found my career as a therapist as a secondary one which has provided exposure to multiple therapeutic settings. My start in community mental health gifted me with a well-rounded, diverse level of training and exposure to the human experience. More importantly, my background reinforced the importance and power of the therapeutic relationship. I am curious, empathetic, affirming, and compassionate. My sense of humor often finds its way into our sessions (as do my dogs, if you're so inclined!). Together, we will map your treatment, so that you are clear as to what to expect, regardless of the intervention. We start at the place you are ready, reinforcing the strengths and resiliency that you already exhibit. Together, we build from there to address what you came in for..

You might be here because life feels heavier than it should, your thoughts won’t slow down, or you’re tired of trying to hold everything together on your own. As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I work with people who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self‑doubt, and the everyday challenges that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My approach is down‑to‑earth and collaborative. I don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all therapy — your experiences, your pace, and your goals matter. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build practical tools you can use in real life, and create space for you to feel understood without judgment. I draw from evidence‑based practices, but just as importantly, I bring compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique story. Whether you’re working on managing emotions, improving focus, building confidence, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to support you every step of the way. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more capable, and more connected to the life you want to live.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a telehealth practice licensed in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and over 23 years of experience in the mental health field working with children, teen and adults. . I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions, and I work from a warm, collaborative, and supportive approach. My work blends talk therapy with somatic practices, self-compassion, mindfulness, and pattern-tracing to help you better understand yourself and what keeps you stuck. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in cycles of self-doubt and overthinking. Together, we slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools that support real, lasting change. I also help clients gently connect how past experiences may still be impacting present-day emotions, relationships, and self-worth, while building a more grounded and compassionate relationship with themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who centers my practice around working with adolescents and young adults who wish to address self-exploration and identity development, navigation of conflict in relationships, and the impact of trauma on current life experiences. I find it important to ground our therapy in trust, then we can begin to explore your emotional experience as a way to understand how you navigate your present. I have spent nearly a decade centering my practice around working with young people and building resilience around what life has thrown their way. Through Talk Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, we have addressed ways to process and heal from trauma and loss. Through using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we have addressed addictive behaviors ranging from toxic relationships to substance use. Through my relational approach, I have watched my clients accept the challenges they need to face and accept aspects of who they are that don't need to change at all. I integrate the intersection of therapeutic work and social justice work whenever possible, ensuring that our work is contextualized within and in opposition to the oppressive systems that govern our society. Additionally, as a school social worker, I am also able to assist with any school-based concerns you may be experiencing.

Clients often tell me they’ve never had a therapist quite like me. Many of my clients have tried therapy before but felt it was mainly surface-level venting. Sessions with me are far more than that. My style is active, collaborative, and grounded in honest conversation. I won’t simply nod along or repeat what you’ve already told me. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, challenge what isn’t working, and help you make sense of your experiences in a way that leads to meaningful change. I include humor in our sessions when it feels right. Therapy can be meaningful without being stiff or overly clinical. Some conversations will be deep and challenging, while others might include humor or a different perspective. You don’t have to hold back here. You can be blunt, emotional, messy, or even make a sarcastic joke during tough discussions. I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for honesty and a willingness to move forward. Understanding your diagnosis or past experiences is part of therapy, but it’s not everything. Some struggles come from trauma, mental health, or life experiences, while others are simply part of being human. We all face relationships, stress, loss, uncertainty, and change. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or label, we’ll look at the full picture of your life and find meaningful ways to move forward. This work is a good fit if you are open to new ideas, willing to be challenged, and ready to apply what we discuss between sessions. I’ll provide practical tools, but therapy isn’t about quick fixes. Gaining insight is valuable, but insight alone doesn’t create change. Sometimes the work is learning to manage discomfort rather than eliminate it. Together, we’ll understand what keeps you stuck and learn to respond differently over time.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
