Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience serving residents of PA. I received my M.S in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and B.A in Communication from William Paterson University. I have extensive experience working with women of color and Muslims who are juggling multiple life roles and striving to be their best selves. I can help you gain the tools to thrive and support you along your journey. Feel free to schedule with me if you want to work towards increasing your optimism, challenge unhelpful thoughts and improve overall well-being.

My roles have included case management, management, and professional counseling. The numerous professional opportunities I have experienced with various populations has allowed me to find a place to dedicate myself to a career of serving exceptional individuals and working with numerous health care providers in the community. My approach is holistic and refers to the whole-person rather than focusing on specific ailments, although topic specific symptoms will also be addressed and discussed as necessary.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here. In this fast paced world, peace can seem difficult to come by. I want to provide a warm, peaceful place for you to work through life's challenges. I enjoy collaborating with clients of diverse ages and backgrounds. There is hope for all people and relationships, and I aspire to transfer that hope to you. I can't wait to begin our work together!

Hi! I’m Kesedria and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides virtual therapeutic services in the state of Pennsylvania. I'm dedicated to build upon a culture of transparency, integrity, and compassion to assist people in developing better versions of themselves through mental health awareness and quality counseling services. My current clients seek support with anxiety, depression, stress management/coping skill development, LGBTQ+ affirming care, race related trauma, other trauma symptoms/experiences, family issues, peer relationship issues, strengthening assertive communication skills, and with boundary setting. As a previous social worker in medical settings, I have also provided extensive emotional support for those living with chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer. My professional and lived experiences have helped me adopt an inclusive, collaborative, and judgment-free therapeutic space for people to feel heard and understood as they work through their individual healing journeys. My practice operates from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and social justice lens. It would be an honor to partner with you in meeting your mental health needs and to ultimately contribute to your overall health and quality of life. You deserve to be prioritized and live a more fulfilling life! Please be aware that I see clients M-TH (morning and afternoon appointments only). I can also be reached at, Kesedria-LCSW@protonmail.com.

I work with individuals over 13, but specialize in helping teenagers, young adults, athletes, women and those who have experienced trauma. I use a holistic approach to treat mental, physical and spiritual health, believing that all must function well to achieve happiness. I encourage clients to make positive changes, avoid destructive behaviors, and make their own decisions. Improving self-confidence and fostering meaningful connections are essential for everyone. For those dealing with trauma, I use a technique called Brainspotting to identify, process, and release physical and emotional distress associated with traumatic experiences. The objective is to access deeper emotional parts of the brain by bypassing conscious thinking and heal underlying trauma that contributes to conditions like anxiety and depression. My passion also lies in sports where I use over 20 years of coaching experience to enhance mental performance in athletes. For athletes, attitude, emotions, and perspective are just as crucial as physical training. My goal is to help athletes improve their confidence, focus, and mental resilience, so they can overcome perfectionism and performance anxiety.

Hello there, my name is Brandon Ballantyne. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My clinical focus is in utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy with clients to alleviate various forms of mental and emotional distress.

Hi, my name is Karmen Copes, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of Temple University. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals who are coping with life's challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and where ever you are in your life right now, I believe there is always time to reflect on and improve your overall well-being if needed. When do you set aside time for yourself? Let's talk about that. How often do you hesitate or ruminate over a mistake you made yesterday, or even last year? It's common to get stuck on our paths and focus on mistakes - talk to me and we can begin drawing a map for better understanding your emotions, thoughts and how they dictate your everyday. What is keeping you from living the type of life that you want for yourself and how do those obstacles dictate your everyday choices? These are only one of the questions I can help you answer for yourself in our sessions that focus on managing intrusive thoughts, building better relationships and accepting your whole being as worthy of love. I work with cerebrally inclined adults and teens, giving attention to their needs when “being in my head,” and perfectionism distracts from attainable goals. With my experience in using evidence-based practices and building a comfortable space for you, my philosophical background will guide you through anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts and existential dread. We will use mindfulness exercises, meditation and structured cognitive-behavioral prompts as well. Think of our time together as a study group with your holistic well being as the main subject and the quiz as your everyday life. Ultimately, I offer the chance for us to go on that journey of self-discovery as a team - we can find the answers that you are looking for. Let’s do it!

My name is Susan. I have been practicing, in Pennsylvania for 25 years. I have my LCSW. The bulk of my career was spent in an atypical long term care facility.

Group work consisted of anger management, chronic illness and improving interpersonal skills. Going into private practice, my role in the partnership is the provision of a judgment free environment where we can strategize, addressing and overcoming the many challenges we all face. I also address the loss of our 4 legged kids Underserved, as I know all to well the hole they leave in our hearts and everyday life.

Since I was 17, I’d always wanted to be a therapist. I learned that sometimes it takes more than just healing the mind in order to heal the whole person. That means that sometimes people need healing on emotional, psychological and spiritual levels. I then received two masters degrees, one in mental health counseling, and the other in the applied healing arts. Utilizing both these degrees has helped me to combine both traditional and alternative therapies into my work.
