Have you experienced trauma? As a trained Trauma Therapist I will work with you to resolve PTSD symptoms. I have expertise addressing sexual/physical/psychological abuse, trauma from giving birth, childhood trauma, neglect, and other traumas. I will also help you address any anxiety, depression, pregnancy/postpartum issues, infertility issues, relationship/family conflict, or other life stressors. My general approach to therapy is to utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which involves identifying and changing thoughts and feelings, and building coping skills. I am also certified in specific trauma therapy approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to address PTSD symptoms. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor located in Pennsylvania. I grew up immersed in more than one culture. I identify as South Asian American and grew up in the United States. I consider myself to have a strong cross-cultural understanding, and can relate to individuals who come from various cultures and backgrounds, including the LGBTQ community. My approach to counseling is always to get to know the individual first, understand their goals for counseling, and work with them as a team to help them get to where they desire to be in their life. I am always open to feedback and willing to try new methods or approaches that best fit the needs of each individual I work with, as every individual is unique!

I'm an artist and art therapist based in Philadelphia, PA. I've worked within the community mental health field for more than a decade, providing group and individual counseling and art therapy. As a therapist, I lead with kindness, compassion, and humor. I believe that connection is the foundation of healing. I feel passionately about the importance of community care and the deep, transformative potential of creative expression. I’ve personally experienced how art can be a tool for processing trauma and making sense of life’s challenges. I believe every person has a unique and valuable perspective to share, and that your voice matters. I also have an old cat who may make an appearance from time to time. I love connecting with nature, birding, hiking, and being outdoors. I enjoy baking, making art, dancing, collecting books I hope to read, and tea. I dabble in tarot cards, reiki, and playing music.

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.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centered, and strengths-based. I work alongside clients to identify patterns, process life stressors, improve relationships, build healthier boundaries, and strengthen coping skills. I believe that healing often happens when people feel supported enough to be honest with themselves, while also being gently challenged to grow. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, grounded, and capable of creating meaningful change in their lives. I bring extensive experience in behavioral health, counseling and family systems with a strong foundation in working with diverse individuals, families, and communities.

I enjoy shepherding clients through healing and growth, developing self-awareness, cultivating personal power, and understanding thoughts and behaviors. I help relationships thrive -- with yourself, with your higher power, and with others. I provide helpful insights and motivate and empower people to grow, change, adapt, and embrace life - and its messiness. My counseling career was a midlife career change - my first career was engineering. I've loved both but never looked back.

Hi there! I am a big sports fan who loves spending time with family, sharing laughter, and enjoying great food. Music and outdoor activities are two of my favorite things. I’m always eager to learn something new and love starting my days early. Helping others reach their full potential and witnessing those ah-ha moments truly inspires me. You’ll often catch me embarrassing my family with my corny dad jokes or dance moves. I’ve worked in a variety of therapeutic settings as a school counselor, acute therapist, and suicide prevention therapist. My lifelong motto is, "do your best so you can give your best."

I’m Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy works best when clients feel truly seen, understood, and comfortable being themselves. My approach is engaged, proactive, and relational. Together, we’ll do meaningful work to process emotions, build insight, and create lasting change, while also making room for humor, connection, and the moments of lightness that can support healing along the way. I have 13 years of experience in social work, including child welfare and trauma-focused work, which has shaped me into a grounded, direct therapist focused on helping clients feel supported while creating real change.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Virginia and Pennsylvania. I received my Doctorate degree in Couple & Family Therapy from the University of Minnesota and have been practicing for 8 years. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families who struggle with anxiety, chronic health conditions, depression, loss and grief, stress, trauma, and relationship issues such as boundaries, parenting, intimacy, infidelity, trust, and more. I work with clients to process and heal psychological and relational pain. I believe that therapy is both science and art. The art of therapy can be seen as a joint venture between clients and therapists, and the science reflects in providing assessments, treatment plans, and evidence-based interventions. I believe in the collaboration between clients as experts in their lives and myself as a therapist who is trained in providing therapy services.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or like you're carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving toward the life you want. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, recovery, therapy can provide a place to better understand what you're experiencing, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and overcome hurdles. Here you'll have space to be honest without fear of judgment while also learning practical skills you can use outside of therapy. I believe the most meaningful progress happens not only during our sessions, but in the small moments between them as you begin applying what you've learned in your everyday life. Most importantly, you don't have to show up as your “perfect” self. Come as you are—whether you're hopeful, skeptical, anxious, or simply unsure where to begin. This is a down-to-earth space where you can be yourself, and together we'll work toward helping you feel more confident, resilient, and like yourself again!

Hi, I'm Michele. I have been a Licensed Therapist for over 15 years. Reaching out and asking for support can be daunting. Whether it is deciding to take the first steps in healing from trauma, working to understand your reactions and how you respond to any form of rejection, or wanting to process thoughts about who you are amidst the expectations of others; having a therapist who will hold space for you, without judgement, and provide you with supportive, challenging and truthful tools to help in your journey can make a world of difference in where and how you ultimately land.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
