👋 Hi, I’m Jen — a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Music Therapist. I work with children, teens and adults who are dealing with anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, eating disorders, or just that nagging feeling that life shouldn’t feel this hard. My sessions are relaxed, collaborative, and human. You won’t find therapy jargon or long awkward silences here (unless you need a second to think — then we’ll embrace it). My approach blends evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and music therapy. Sometimes that means diving into tough conversations, sometimes it means finding small ways to breathe again. I meet you where you are and help you get unstuck — one honest, real moment at a time. Before private practice, I worked at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia providing individual and group therapy for adolescents with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I also supported patients and families on the Oncology, Behavioral Health, PICU, and NICU units, and those navigating grief and loss. Those experiences taught me that healing rarely looks perfect, and that progress often starts with showing up — even when you don’t feel ready. My goal is simple: to help you make sense of what’s going on and find a little more ease in the middle of it all. Whether you’re ready to talk, vent, process, or just exist in the moment — I’ve got you.

Hello, I'm Adam. Do you feel that your past or present internal and external experiences are holding you back from experiencing what you truly want to feel in your life? Do you feel that you will never be able to live the life you want to live if you continue to let your feelings and thoughts be the narrator of your life? If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, the therapy approach I use may be what you need. You may not see it now, but you demonstrate the courage, compassion, and ability to move forward in your life even with the most difficult challenges that life has or is currently bringing to you. You could live the life you want to live and gain the ability to write out the rest of your life the way you want. I will empower and help guide you to be "psychologically flexible". I incorporate modalities such as Acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-informed approaches to help give you the opportunity to win the struggles that you have with yourself every day. Whether that be past or present trauma experiences, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, ADHD, personality disorders, OCD, or relationship issues. Together, we can identify and explore what it is that is causing you psychological pain and learn what skills/strategies will help provide you with the ability to not let life struggles/stressors cause you distress.

I’m a licensed professional counselor and a doctoral student in counseling psychology. My work centers around helping individuals heal from complex trauma, explore their identities, and develop deeper insight into their relational and emotional worlds. I specialize in working with adults navigating attachment wounds, anxiety, self-worth challenges, and LGBTQ+ experiences. My therapeutic style is relational, trauma-informed, and depth-oriented. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, and parts work, integrating these with evidence-based approaches like EMDR and mindfulness when appropriate. I believe that real healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships, and that therapy can be a space to explore and reflect. In sessions, I focus on helping clients understand the “why” behind their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We explore early experiences and internalized beliefs, as well as the ways these still play out in present relationships and daily life. I also work collaboratively to build practical tools and foster a more compassionate internal dialogue. I'm especially committed to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, those navigating complicated family relationships, and people working through questions of identity, belonging, and emotional safety. Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time or returning with fresh insight, I strive to meet you where you are with curiosity, honesty, and care. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about creating space to feel, question, remember, and reclaim. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings both clinical depth and human connection to the work, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi ya’ll, I’m Chris. The state of the world and our own well-being can often feel very fragile, especially during these past years. Through counseling I am able to provide an outlet for processing your emotions and actions and finding a way to unstick yourself when you don’t like where you are. Therapy can be a frightening step for many, but I hope to make your journey to a healthier mindset as comfortable and rewarding as possible. My clinical experience and education are focused on working with those who struggle with severe depression and anxiety. I work with clients of all ages but specialize working with adolescents, teens, and young adults. In addition to anxiety and depression, I also work with people who struggle from symptoms of PTSD, BPD, and bipolar disorder. I utilize a CBT and DBT approach but believe therapy is very person-specific and will tailor our sessions to fit your specific needs. Past clients have told me I am very patient, kind, and relaxed. I can effectively incorporate breaks and humor into sessions, so therapy does not feel like a chore. If you believe I could be a good fit for you please feel free to reach out and let’s get to work!

Hi, I am Sally! Welcome to a new adventure and journey in your life which promises a more rewarding future for yourself! I look forward to meeting you and getting to know to you! Did you know it takes courage and strength to enter therapy? Do you long to be listened to, have your feelings heard and understood without judgment or criticism? How about building your confidence, peace of mind and ability to depend on yourself? Are you interested in improving your ability to balance your academics, social life and personal time? Reconnect to your best self, or discover it for the first time! Learn practical, down to earth ways to build your confidence, manage your time and make the best of your opportunities. Have fun learning and growing. Counseling/therapy does not have to be difficult and painful, but can be eye opening, expansive and energizing. I bring humor, common sense approaches to help you learn to calm down and focus on your priorities. I use my background in yoga, meditation, and relationship building skills to enrich our learning together to discover what best meets your needs.

My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person’s unique story. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, helping them find safety, empowerment, and hope through the healing process.

While trauma work is a key focus, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Hi, I'm a therapist with over thirty years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families and historically getting positive results. I tend to work with families with special members such as teens and seniors. I have always worked with teens as it seemed to be a population others found difficult, but I liked the challenge. Now that I am a senior, I better understand the needs of our demographic. I tend to utilize a Family Systems approach which sees the individual in a family context as the majority has grown up in some form of family, whether related by blood or not. I've also taught Marriage and Family Therapy through what is now Drexel University's Family Therapy Program and have offered professional Supervision as a Clinical Member and Approved Supervisor of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. By working with the client in a collaborative, goal setting manner, faster more positive results seem to be achieved.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Pennsylvania rather than a city like Philadelphia?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Scranton! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Pennsylvania.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in Pennsylvania that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

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.
