12 therapists in Pennsylvania matching your needs

You don’t recognize the face staring back from the mirror. “What’s happened to me?!?” Years of pent-up worry are taking a toll – and the evidence is there. The constant questioning and doubting… “Who am I kidding? My time has passed to live the life I want.” Therapy can help you weed through the dark moments and gain objectivity so that you are no longer bogged down by the pain of these moments. A lifetime of experiences led you to this moment. Some experiences have been positive – they’ve taught you how to savor joyful times and kept you in the moment, experiencing all this life has to offer. Other experiences have been tougher – so distressing that reminders of these moments make you feel like you’re right there, experiencing that pain all over. Sometimes, you’re anxious, depressed, and out of sorts for seemingly no reason. These moments have collected over time and made an intricate tapestry that is your life. Now you’re ready for change and to retake control of your life. I will provide a safe and comforting space for you to explore your values, desires, and passions. Become unapologetically you and free to pursue your happiness. Through the use of cutting-edge trauma therapies, we will find the road blocks and navigate through them together. We will cultivate a life worth living and help you get back to what really matters in life.

Hi, welcome! My name is Koti. Do you feel weighed down and disconnected from your authentic self? Are you struggling to manage your emotions and navigate through life's challenges? I am a therapist of trans and familial mental illness experience. I empower and support individuals in the LGBTQIA2S+ community and your allies to better understand your worth, utilize your strengths and build skills to more effectively navigate challenges you face. Your lived experience is unique to you and we will take a look at how your experieces have contributed to the current issues you may be struggling with. We will address matters of your whole self (mind, body and spirit) as your physical, mental and emotional well-being are interconnected. I'll employ evidenced based techniques to help you look inward and identify your strengths to move you toward your goals. Whether your goals are around managing/coping with depression, anxiety, other mental illness, navigating life changes or coming out/ supporting a loved one who has recently come out, I am here to help. Reaching out and sharing intimate parts about yourself can be scary. The biggest thing I strive for is to create a safe space where you can authentically express yourself without fear of judgment. You are valid, loved and enough simply for being, YOU!

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pittsburgh, PA. I am licensed in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Washington State. I received my Master's in Community Counseling from Regis University in Denver, CO in 2012, and I have been working as a therapist in different capacities since that time. My areas of focus have been LGBTQIA+ clients, older adults, working in crisis assessment, intake assessment, and individual and partners therapy.

I hold the belief that everyone requires support at times, and it takes a whole lot to seek it out. I understand the discomfort of vulnerability, yet it's precisely why I engage in this work. I recognize the challenges but also the potential for fostering deeper connections and a more fulfilling existence. Navigating ambiguity is daunting, but it becomes more manageable with companionship. I see myself as both a toolbox and a pillar of support; my ultimate aim is to give you knowledge and tools, ensuring you leave our interaction better prepared for what lies ahead. Above all, I firmly believe in your capability and inherent worth.

I began my professional career in 2005 working as a caseworker helping children and families maintain safe and healthy environments as well as financial stability. Since then I have completed masters degrees in counselor education and clinical counseling and was first licensed as a professional counselor in 2014. I'm currently credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida.

I have 30 plus years of experience in the mental health field. I can function on an intellectual level but be very down-to-earth. I will meet you where you're at while helping you envision where you would like to go. I love the work of helping people reach their goals. I would love to partner with you on your journey.

I am a Bilingual (English/ Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years experience in the therapy domain. I received my Bachelor's in Social Work from Temple University in 2004 and my Master's in Social Work from Millersville University in 2012.

Helping clients navigate trauma and it's impact on our lives is my passion! I am an EMDR Certified Therapist, hold a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level 2 Certification and a Certificate in Trauma Therapy from The Trauma Institute and Child Trauma Institute. Life can be difficult and throw at us many different challenges that leave us feeling lost, confused and alone.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

Hi there, I'm Keith. I'm a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania (LPC) and Florida (LMHC). In life we have two choices to make: to live like or unlike the person we want to be. It can be easy to take a look around at your emotional, mental, social, physical, occupational, and spiritual selves and notice certain aspects of them which do not reflect the way you want your life to be. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions like anxiety or depression. Perhaps you feel inundated with negative, self-critical, or racing thoughts. It could be that there's aspects of your relationships that you're unhappy with. Or, you may have issues with your health, addiction, sleep, or feeling on-edge. Your work or school might be stressful or unfulfilling. Perhaps you're struggling with your identity and are experiencing personal and/or systemic discrimination or oppression. Whatever the case may be, I'm here to help you find balance and work towards living a life that looks more like the one you want to have. Together we will identify the issues you're facing, explore and treat them with compassion, and find strategies to address them and seek balance. I will use my warmth, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you live a life that's rooted in your values. I will support you to make positive choices, grow, and find ways to cope with the lows that come along in life and pull you away from being who you want to be. I believe that all people are worthy of love. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and am affirming to queer people, women, people of color, and adults of all ages. If you are looking for a safe therapist to be yourself with, I'd love to work with you. Note: my scheduling availability tends to range from 8am-3pm on weekdays.

Hi there, I'm Jordan. Counseling provides a supportive, non-judgmental, safe atmosphere in which to process your concerns and help you learn ways to feel and do better. I'm so glad you are taking this step to invest in yourself and your well-being! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and have been working in the counseling field since 2015, initially with children and families in a community-based setting, and presently with adults in individual therapy. I have experience supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, stress management, relationship conflict, educational/occupational needs, and more. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy reading, crafting, hiking, spending time with family, my cat, and traveling to new places. I look forward to working with you!

My goal is for each person I work with to feel seen and accepted as they are, and over time to be able to view themselves through a compassionate lens that acknowledges both strengths and challenges. I approach therapy as both a learning and a healing experience. I work to help people identify and understand their values, beliefs, and behavioral and relational patterns, so that they can assess whether these continue to be a good fit for them. I also help individuals to process past experiences and to understand the impact these experiences had at the time, as well as the influence of these experiences in shaping the way they view themselves. I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years, and during this time have worked primarily with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. I also have experience with individuals who identify as neurodivergent and people who have experienced trauma, as well as experience working with depression, anxiety, identity formation, and parenting issues. I work with adults of all ages and with adolescents. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from Temple University and a BA from Binghamton University.
