Hi! I'm Jen Tucker, a licensed mental health counselor who is passionate about serving others. I'm a military veteran and a military spouse. I'm also a wife, mom, and grandmother. I've been through a lot in my life. Most of you have too. After all, you find yourself here looking for something. It is my firm belief that each and every one of us has tremendous potential. We all have unique talents and skills, honed and sharpened through our life experiences. These experiences, while crucial to shaping us, can also leave us hurt, confused, numb, or insecure. It is paramount that we stop along our journey to take stock, address our needs, heal, and refocus. Sometimes, we realize we may benefit from having extra support or guidance through these moments. That is where therapy can help. Throughout my counseling career, I have had the privilege of being able to walk beside clients as they process the past, learn to be comfortable in the present, and get excited for the future. I am certified in trauma and treat clients with a wide range of concerns. Whether you feel ready to dive into therapy, or you are just contemplating the idea, I'd love to hear from you. I am currently accepting video clients for individual therapy. If you aren't ready to make contact, I have some resources available for self-reflection. Check out my blog at NotWavingButDrowning.org or my TikTok @MHMinute, where you'll find videos on a variety of mental health topics.

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!

Do you need guidance in finding happiness and fulfillment in your life? Do you need someone who can help find your strengths? Are you having trouble achieving healthy relationships because of childhood wounds, traumatic experiences or low self esteem? I believe that your past experience made you who you are today. What happened to you will always be a part of you, but it should not define you. I'm here to help you process your past and together we will plan your future. Don't leave yourself alone with your suffering. Let's work together to find meaningful purpose in your life's turmoil. Emotional and psychological traumas happen to everyone. It can be caused by a one time event, ongoing relentless stress or commonly overlooked events such as work, death, break-up/divorce, surgery, humiliating experience or childhood attachment wounds. Working through trauma alone is daunting, lonely, re-traumatizing. A trauma specialist can help with your healing.

I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, individuals who’ve been trafficked, people experiencing homelessness, and those with intellectual or developmental disabilities. I’m an attentive therapist who listens for the little things that matter. Together we slow things down, explore what’s underneath the stress, and build practical tools you can use outside the session. I draw from Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused approaches — not in a rigid, scripted way, but in a way that actually fits your life. Therapy with me is honest, collaborative, and judgment-free. You don’t need to show up perfect. You just need to show up as you.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to look at my page! Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. So, my hope is that I can do my part to help you to feel comfortable...remove some of the awkwardness from the process...and ideally, have you feeling motivated and excited about starting your therapeutic journey! A little bit about me and how I approach the therapeutic process... Without question, one of the comments I hear most from clients is that they're always surprised by how much they actually ENJOY our sessions —even when working through some of their most difficult challenges. I jokingly tell people that my "superpower" is that I'm really good at making therapy feel like a great conversation between two people - and one of those people just HAPPENS to be a therapist who helps you work through the things that are keeping you stuck. Therapy should make you feel as though you are getting something out of this...and that you are growing, healing - and thriving because of it. I've been fortunate to be able to help people from all walks of life and what I have learned is that regardless of background, culture, socioeconomic status, or life circumstances, people want many of the same things—meaningful relationships, resilience through life's challenges, and a sense of purpose/fulfillment. So, whether you're facing personal challenges, professional pressures, or both, my goal is to help you get on the path where you can finally feel like you not only have a handle on this thing called Life - but that you are THRIVING in it!

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 22 years of experience. I really enjoy helping people navigate the challenges of changing and maintaining roles in life---exploring young adulthood, how to maintain your own identity as a parent, how to create a life worth living in whatever stage you are in. I feel like I am very open, non judgmental, eager to learn, empathetic and understanding. And funny! I am a gender affirming therapist. I am an ally in the LGB and TNC Communities, always keeping my eyes and ears open to find ways to improve my allyship. The current political climate is traumatic and oppressive to members of these Communities. I want to create space in session to discuss how that may be affecting you or retraumatizing you. I am also a member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. I am comfortable providing documentation for medical transition. I am very comfortable with working with those who use self harm as a coping mechanism--there is no shame or expectation you must stop when you engage in therapy. I'm fine with talking about suicide, whether it's your own personal experience of trying to find a life worth living, your experience of supporting someone who lives with suicide in their life, or grief around experiences of suicide. I do not believe inpatient hospitalization is an effective treatment for those experiencing suicide and do everything I can as a therapist to keep people out of the hospital when in suicidal crisis. I do believe therapy is political. I am social justice focused, continuing to do my own anti-racism work. I believe in Health at Every Size. I believe that our environment and what we experience in life has a profound affect on us and must be discussed in therapy.

I’m a firm believer that we are all carriers of deep, complex life stories. These stories build and shape our inner worlds and can be both elevating and/or burdensome to us. They build our reality and how we place ourselves within it. As a licensed clinical social worker, my work focuses on helping my clients interact with their stories, organize their habits, and shape the mental patterns that they are functioning within. We work together to make certain these stories are in alignment with the life they want to build for themselves. My approach to mental health care focuses on the mind-body connection, and a deep emphasis on both thought and bodily sensation awareness. I hope to partner with my clients as they find more security and self understanding within our work together.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life transition, experiencing stress or anxiety, or simply seeking a space to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you. Over the past four years, I’ve provided therapy in outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment, higher education, and private practice settings. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals from diverse backgrounds and across a range of life experiences. I especially enjoy working with adolescents, college students, and young to middle-aged adults. I’m also passionate about providing culturally responsive, affirming care to individuals within the BIPOC community. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience emotional wellness, personal growth, and greater clarity. Healing is a journey that takes time, support, and self-reflection.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy reading, spending time with 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 showing up as your authentic self and know that you will be met with compassion, respect, and understanding.

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.

Hi there—it's a pleasure to meet you. I am a Masters‑Level Board‑Certified Music Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience supporting individuals across inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for support, and I strive to make therapy a place where you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. I work with individuals across the lifespan—from children and teens to adults and older adults—and I tailor my approach to meet each person where they are developmentally and emotionally. My work is rooted in trauma‑informed care, emphasizing safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. I recognize the impact that trauma can have on the nervous system, relationships, and daily functioning, and I approach each session with sensitivity, attunement, and respect for your lived experience. As a creative arts therapist, I also integrate music and other expressive modalities when helpful—offering additional pathways for emotional processing, self‑expression, and insight, especially when words alone feel limiting. I believe healing begins with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to listening deeply and communicating with compassion and honesty. My approach focuses on empowering you with the tools, insight, and emotional skills you need to navigate life more effectively and with greater confidence. Scheduling & Missed Appointment Policy: I understand that life can be unpredictable, especially for families and young clients. I offer one free missed session. After that, a $25 fee is applied for no‑shows or cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance. This helps me hold your spot and ensure consistent care while keeping sessions accessible and supportive. Session Lengths: Intake sessions are 60 minutes. Follow‑up sessions may be 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on your needs and preferences.

The journey to wholeness begins with one step. While at times the journey can be difficult, the freedom that can be found on the other side makes it all worth the effort. By choosing to find a therapist you have taken that first step. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling from Loyola University in MD. I have been in practice for close to 20 years now. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ issues, substance use, as well as the general life stressors we all experience in this face-paced, demanding world we live in whether that be work or relationships. I offer individual therapy sessions and am willing to journey with you on your self-defined path to wholeness. I bring a client-centered approach and we will go at the speed you wish to journey.
