Therapists licensed in Pennsylvania

Hi! My name is Becca and I am glad you are here! I have a strong passion for supporting and helping others, and look forward to the opportunity to work with you (or your child). As a therapist, I have many years of experience with a wide range of populations, ages, and backgrounds. My niche lies in working with children, teens, young adults, and women. I take a holistic approcah in practice, focusing on every aspect of the client (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual) to promote overall wellness and healing. In my free time I enjoy hiking, working out, playing with my cat and dog, and being a new mom!

With close to 20 years of experience working for the Philadelphia Courts system and a background in communications prior to obtaining my Masters in Counseling Psychology, I excel at finding communicable common ground between individuals. I incorporate multiple treatment modalities in order to find the perfect combination of techniques in order to facilitate positive change in my clients' lives. My personal and professional philosophy is "Life is simple, people complicate it". Let's make things simple again.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Certified Drug & Alcohol Counselor (CADC), with additional certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University and have over six years of clinical experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, IOP, and outpatient settings. I specialize in trauma and addiction, and also regularly work with grief, anxiety, and depression.

My work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a space where they can slow down, breathe, and feel supported without judgment. I offer a warm, collaborative environment where teens, adults, and parents can show up exactly as they are. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of themselves. My goal is to help you make sense of what you’re carrying, feel more grounded, and leave each session with a little more clarity and hope. I offer a supportive space for teenagers to explore school stress, friendships, family expectations, and identity development. With adults, my work focuses on the layered realities of everyday life; responsibilities, relationships, work demands, and the emotional weight that comes with trying to “do it all.” If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for things to feel different, I’m here to help. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating — it can be a place where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged as you navigate whatever comes next. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step to being your most authentic self. I am happy to support you in your journey wether you are dealing with the stress of your job, relationship and/or supporting aging patents, I will be your sounding board where we can work through making those difficult decisions and talk about ways to create change in your life.

I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, and multicultural lens to tackle each issue in a safe and healthy way. I operate from a Person-Centered Lens, which means the client is the expert in their own life; therefore, I collaborate with you to find the best possible approach. I specialize in working with teenagers, college students, and the LGBT Community. I also focus on treating ADHD, Anxiety, BPD, Trauma, and General Life Stressors.

PLEASE BE ADVISED, I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE EVENING (AFTER 4PM) AVAILABILTY. Welcome, As your counselor, I want to empower you to discover what motivates you. I’m deeply committed to helping individuals live more fulfilling and satisfying lives. I believe each person has unique strengths, talents, and abilities as well as personal resiliency—my goal is to help you uncover these qualities so you can build a life of purpose and meaning. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions—whether you're experiencing a career shift, marriage or divorce, relocation, educational changes, parenting challenges, or grief and loss. Together, we’ll work to find clarity, confidence, and joy on your journey through this thing we call life! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and a Certified Co-occurring Disorders Specialist. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Shippensburg University. Over the past 17+ years, I’ve worked in a range of therapeutic settings, including family-based therapy, outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health and substance use programs, residential treatment, and private practice trauma therapy. Outside the Office I enjoy being active and being outdoors—walking, hiking, and and spending time with loved ones. I raise and train service dogs, attend dirt track races, meditate, and love cooking and baking. Family and friendship are the heart of my life, and I find joy in making meaningful memories every step of the way.

Life these days can feel like you are on a roller coaster that doesn’t stop. This can lead to having very intense emotions, ones that feel overwhelming, scary, hopeless. Maybe you are feeling extreme loneliness? Feeling so stressed that it’s hard to focus, or you just don’t feel like doing much of anything lately. Intense negative feelings can affect your relationships, sleep, and job or school performance. For some, anxiety or sadness can lead to outbursts of anger or feelings of worthlessness inside. It is important to learn about yourself, what is causing these feelings, and to know that there are solutions. I have worked with adolescents and adults for many years to to gain control of their lives. By building a safe and supportive environment for people to learn about themselves and to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and emotions, I help my clients identify these issues more clearly and work to find realistic solutions to their problems. In these more stressful times it is understandable to feel out of sorts and to reach out for help. There is no shame in this, as a matter of fact it takes great courage to do so. I provide a safe caring environment through online therapy. You can begin the process of learning about yourself from your home. You can begin to heal, return to being productive

Hi, I’m Angela, a licensed clinical social worker who’s all about creating a space where you can just be real. Life gets heavy sometimes, and whether you're feeling anxious, burned out, stuck in a relationship pattern, or weighed down by past experiences, I’m here to help you sort through it without judgment. I work with adults who are ready to do the inner work, even if they’re not totally sure where to start. We’ll look at what’s getting in your way, explore the stories you’ve been telling yourself, and build tools that actually make a difference day to day. I pull from CBT, DBT, and strengths-based approaches to keep things practical and focused, but I also believe in the power of slowing down, getting curious, and creating space for growth. Clients often tell me they feel heard, supported, and challenged in all the right ways. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and honest. I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you figure out where you want to go. Whether you're working through anxiety, past trauma, relationship issues, or just trying to feel better in your own skin, you don’t have to do it alone. I'm here when you're ready.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and I believe that therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, feel heard and work toward meaningful change. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of therapeutic settings, including school-based behavioral health and outpatient clinics. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to support individuals and families through anxiety, stress, emotional challenges, life transitions, behavioral concerns, relationship difficulties, and other experiences that can make a life feel overwhelming. I work with children ages 6 and older, adolescents, and adults, and I understand that therapy looks different for everyone. With children and teens, I focus on building trust and creating a space where they feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also believe in working collaboratively with parents and caregivers when appropriate, because supporting the while family can be an important part of progress. With adults, I strive to create a genuine and supportive environment where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and develop practical tools to move forward. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck, navigating a major life change, or simply feeling like you need someone in your corner, you don't have to figure everything out on your own. My approach is person centered, compassionate and collaborative. I don't believe there is a one size fits all approach for therapy. I take time to understand who you are, what has brought you to therapy, and what you hope to get from the experience. Together, we can identify goals that feel meaningful to you and work at a pace that feels comfortable. I want my clients to leave sessions feeling heard, understood and supported, while also gaining practical strategies they can use in their everyday lives.

Hi, I'm Assal. I've been a therapist for 13 years, helping young adults and adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and the stress that comes with balancing life's many demands. Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of change or uncertainty. They may be starting college, launching a career, navigating dating and relationships, working through unhealthy relationship patterns, adjusting to parenthood, caring for family members, or questioning what they want from the next chapter of life.

Hi. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist in Pennsylvania. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and I've been practicing for 24 years. I enjoy working with both males and females from 18-64. I help clients improve their coping strategies, retrain the way they think about things, and give them the confidence they need to tackle their challenges they deal with in their daily lives.

Hello and welcome! My name is Danielle, and I am a licensed LPC with over twenty years of experience working in clinical, school, and home settings. I recognize the increasing complexity of modern life. With each year, we accumulate more experiences, both positive and negative, that we are expected to process while "keeping it all together" and "getting it all done". I have a Master's Degree in Education from West Chester University, which I enthusiastically use to help my clients learn to thrive in our challenging world. I view every client relationship as a unique opportunity to serve as a positive and impactful influence that inspires lasting and meaningful change. As a parent, daughter, caregiver, sibling, and partner, I understand the pressure and expectations of modern relationships and the flexibility needed to manage daily struggles while staying motivated, focused, and stable. Similar to many of the clients I work with, I recognize that even the good days are exhausting and demanding. My ideal client is someone ready to choose to show up for themselves and engage in the process of self-transformation to create the outcomes they desire. You deserve to become the best version of yourself. I welcome the opportunity to walk with you on this journey.

There are times in our lives when we feel uncertain- may be questioning direction or unsure of the path to continue on. I have been there and my desire is to help you in this time. Whether you are experiencing grief, struggling with a life transition, having a difficult time connecting with others, or are just struggling in general- you don’t have to do it alone. I am passionate about this work and have spent the last 14 years supporting individuals in major life transitions - often times where there lives had been at rock bottom and I had the honor of helping them to find their light again. Throughout that time in my career I learned many things and want to help apply that knowledge to supporting you. I have a passion for helping people find joy in difficult seasons and have experienced abrupt changes and the importances of finding support. I want you to leave our sessions feeling like you have a plan and that a weight has been lifted.

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.

Hey, I’m Mariah! I work with women who look like they have it together on the outside but internally feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. A lot of my clients are the ones everyone depends on. They’re successful, self-aware, high-achieving, and used to pushing through. But underneath that, they’re overthinking everything, emotionally drained, struggling in relationships, and wondering why they still feel so stuck despite years of trying to “work on themselves.” Many have done therapy before and left frustrated because they gained insight but nothing actually changed. My approach is honest, direct, and focused on getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck — not just helping you manage symptoms. I help clients understand the deeper patterns behind their anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, and relationship struggles so they can stop surviving life on autopilot. I’m not the therapist who just sits quietly and nods for 50 minutes. I’ll challenge you, connect the dots, and help you make real shifts in the way you relate to yourself and others. I also offer private pay therapy for clients looking for more personalized care without the limitations insurance can place on treatment. Clients are able to use HSA/FSA funds to pay for services and are able to receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.

Tired of reading bios? I would be too, so I'll keep it short: I graduated from UPenn 10+ years ago with a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in almost every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death. My "approach" is understanding that I can't expect you to expose the deepest, darkest, most vulnerable parts of yourself to me if I remain a complete stranger to you. In our sessions, I want you to feel like you're with one of your best friends who you can trust, laugh and ugly-cry with. My only goal is to make you feel like you're not alone. Like you have someone in your corner who will fight for you, laugh with you, curse with you, and ugly-cry with you (I'm totally kidding, kinda, that part's negotiable).

Find Strength and Healing through Expert, Compassionate Care. So many of us suffer in silence with emotional pain. We quietly carry the weight of past trauma, the heaviness of depression, or ever present anxiety. But you don’t have to just “get by.” You deserve to feel supported, understood, and genuinely at ease in your life. With decades of experience, I offer more than a compassionate ear. Together, we’ll create a thoughtful, personalized path forward—one that brings healing and helps you connect with your inner strength and resilience.

I take a flexible approach to find what works best for you!

The only constant in life is change. I see my primary role as therapist to be acting as steward and support for a client as they grow and change. I strive to create a safe a supportive space where a client can explore their identity without fear of judgement. I also seek to support my clients during their road to recovery from past trauma, attachment issues, and relationship struggles. I have been working as a therapist trained in supporting folx identifying as LGBTQIA+ as well as trans and gender variant, and have had the honor of supporting teens and adults during their gender exploration and transition. I have exensive training and experience in this area, including training from the CHOP Gender Clinic and through the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia.

Greetings! My name is Cheryl D. Nelson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), in the state of Pennsylvania. My clinical background is in Community Mental Health. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children for over 10 years in school, home and outpatient settings; both virtually and in-person.

I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. Over the past seven years, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts.

I understand how these struggles can affect your sense of self-worth and overall well-being. My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Master's degree from Mount Aloysius College in 2021. I have been practicing counseling for 7 years. My specialty is helping individuals struggling with substance abuse disorder as well as individuals struggling mental illness such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and OCD. I strive to help individuals gain insight into their struggles and become the best version of themselves.

I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. With more than 25 years of experience as a therapist and wellness professional, I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative approach to helping clients navigate life's challenges particularly around issues with food, diet/binge cycling, body image, self-esteem, and relationships. Clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, genuine style and my ability to balance empathy with practical guidance. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns at your own pace while feeling supported and empowered throughout the process. My work is grounded in the belief that emotional and physical well-being are deeply connected. In addition to my training in social work and psychotherapy, I have specialized training in intuitive eating and functional wellness, which allows me to take a whole-person approach to healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-worth, emotional eating, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, I help you uncover the root causes of your challenges while building practical tools for lasting change. I don't believe therapy is about fixing what's wrong with you. Instead, it's about helping you reconnect with your strengths, gain insight into patterns that may be holding you back, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are. We will work through your personalized goals to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. I believe true health is not built through perfection or extremes, but through sustainable habits, self-awareness, and learning how to work with your body instead of against it. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and capable of building a healthier, more balanced life that genuinely feels good to maintain.

I believe that if every human being had someone to provide them with unconditional positive regard, especially during the formative years of childhood, our world would be a safer place. Unfortunately, many of us don’t even make it through childhood without wounds from emotionally painful experiences. Sometimes the consequences of these experiences are long-lasting and can impact our well-being, relationships, and work. Fortunately, therapy can help. I have worked in community and university settings for the past 9 years, and I have experience treating a variety of mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, marriage/family issues, and communication challenges.

Hello, and welcome! My introduction to the counseling field began while working within therapeutic group homes that served children through adults experiencing mental health struggles. This experience, both enriching and meaningful, inspired my interest in pursuing counseling. I was deeply moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University and since, I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings, and more recently, at a college counseling clinic at the University of Montana. Within these programs, I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors. I am grateful that I can work to help individuals navigate the evolving nature of their lives by providing unconditional positive regard, encouragement, and supportive guidance.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself, feel truly heard, and talk openly without judgment. With over 16 years of experience working with adults, I know reaching out for support can feel difficult, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you can start wherever you are. My approach is genuine, collaborative, and down-to-earth, and I’ll work alongside you as you process past experiences, navigate current challenges, build healthier skills, and create meaningful changes that help you feel better and move forward.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling from Messiah University. I began my counseling career in 2018 as an addictions counselor, where I gained valuable experience supporting individuals through a variety of challenges. After graduating with my master’s degree in 2021, I transitioned to working with individuals, couples, and families. I work with clients who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship or family challenges, life transitions, and other stressors. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood while exploring the challenges you are facing. It is my honor to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Clients my training and background would most benefit are those experiencing difficulty in their relationships with their children, parents, spouses, co-workers or other significant people in their lives; those whose anxiety or depression is holding them back, and those who are willing to work to reach their true potential. I earned my MSW from the University of Illinois at Chicago concentrating in mental health and have helped people in complicated and difficult situations ever since.

Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. Many people often think trauma is only caused by violent crimes, acts of physical abuse, or natural disasters. They may also think because trauma happened a long time ago, it does not affect them in the present. These are a few of the myths about trauma. There are many types of traumas such as the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one, bullying, retaliation in the workplace, neglect from parents, infidelity, intimate partner violence, the witnessing of domestic violence and more. If you or your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stressors, therapy with me can help with positive changes to strengthen self-esteem and confidence. I am trained in EMDR and other trauma therapy approaches. My years of professional experience as a teacher and counselor, along with my lived experiences as a Black person allow me to provide empathetic regard while helping clients from multicultural backgrounds.

The transition to parenthood and constant changes once you’re there are some of the most transformative experiences a person can go through during their life. This time is both beautiful and stressful. Whether it’s your first or your fifth+ child, in today’s world, almost all of us- both moms and dads- can benefit from some additional support in the years of pregnancy and raising children. My practice aims to assist you through all of the normal and abnormal challenges of this time that is short-lived but has long-lasting impacts on ourselves and our families. While each individual and family is unique in their needs and ways that they grow, common goals achieved in counseling include feeling more connected to yourself, your baby or child, and your partner; changing unhealthy family patterns you don’t want to repeat from past generations; feeling more confident in yourself as a parent and partner; improving work-life balance; feeling more supported and less alone; developing your unique identity as a parent and embracing this stage of life; and improving persistent feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, anger, and feeling overwhelmed. If you are struggling, want to better support a partner who is struggling, or would just like to utilize this uniquely powerful time in your life to become more of the person you want to be, I would love to meet you.

Hi! I'm Emily, founder of Caine Counseling Services and a licensed clinical therapist with over 12 years of experience helping individuals overcome emotional challenges, develop coping skills and a sense of confidence to help take control of their lives and reach a sense of fulfillment. I believe therapy should be supportive of the whole person, honoring both your inner world as well as everyday life. My goal is to make therapy something you can look forward to, even when it's hard- something that feels relatable, empowering and different from outdated approaches. Rather than feeling clinical or one-sided, therapy is a space where you can feel heard, receive meaningful feedback and have a real conversation within a relationship that feels genuine.

Hi there, I’ Mickey. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with my clients to identify stress related anxiety and manage them. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Rosemont College and Master’s in Public Health. I am passionate and committed to providing a non judgemental and safe space for my patients. I recognize the importance of building a professional relationship with my clients in order to establish realistic and attainable treatment.

I have a lot of experience helping people with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship, and extensional issues. I am a caring, empathetic, and person-centered clinician with many years of experience in the mental health field. No matter what you are struggling with, my evidence based approaches will help you find relief, a path forward, and a sense of self. You can be certain that you will feel seen and accepted for whoever you are or whatever you are going through.

I love what I do as a Licensed Clinical Therapist. To me, there's no better job than showing people how to use their minds to work for them instead of against them by getting past their mental blocks and past traumas so they don't have to suffer any longer. Specifically, I work with two groups - couples and parents. Couples that aren't communicating very well that have lost that once special connection with their partner and parents struggling with their children's behaviors.
