Therapists in Pennsylvania

Are you struggling to remain psychologically flexible in an ever-changing world? Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of chosen values. I work with clients to address a variety of behavioral, social, and emotional problems, including mood and anxiety disorders, codependency, life transitions, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, ADD/ADHD and Autism. Being a veteran of the United States Air Force I value helping military family members and veterans with transitional issues as well as other concerns. I have experience working in addiction treatment and enjoy working with individuals in recovery to address their underlying mental health concerns.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who strongly believes in therapeutic rapport with my clients. I have experience working in multiple different settings that has enhanced my understanding of the uniqueness of every client. I have worked with individuals presenting with multiple different concerns, and value each experience every client brings to therapy. I have worked with individuals across many different cultures and backgrounds, and strive to build meaningful relationships with all of my clients.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and finding the right support can make a difference. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strive to create a safe supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative and focused on helping clients better understand their experiences, develop practical coping strategies and work toward meaningful personal goals. I believe therapy should meet you where you are, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, life changes, relationship challenges or other personal concerns, therapy can be an opportunity to build insight, strengthen resilience and move forward with greater confidence. I offer convenient virtual therapy for clients located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. My goal is to help you feel comfortable taking that first step toward your well-being.

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?

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.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and have worked as a therapist treating adults in individual and group therapy for 4 years. I specialize in anxiety, grief, and trauma. My approach includes therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Prolonged Exposure, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Narriative Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy. I'm always looking to expand my approach to best support my clients. My experience has been with community mental heath, two CIRC programs, and providing short term grief therapy at the Medical Examiner's office. Each of these have provided me with greater understanding of the system of care of Philadelphia and the reality of navigating it especially when resources can be nonexistent for housing or other basic needs. My specialities in grief and trauma are two sides of the same coin - intense loss can be traumatic. This philosophy is central to how I approach supporting clients in their journey. Both need to be address to help the healing really start.

My name is Cindy Kropp. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in providing compassionate, trauma-informed, mental health care for individuals seeking a more balanced and emotionally healthy way of living. I am trained to provide individual therapy for older teens, young adults and seniors trying to navigate through their own stressors and discomfort related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions and alcohol misuse and abuse. Utilizing a strength-based and relational approach, and with a trauma-informed lens, a solid and client centered foundation is built between the client and I as the therapeutic process unfolds. From there, I work collaboratively with individuals to set goals while also exploring her/his own thoughts and feelings as related to the challenges and struggles in their own lives. This work is achieved through the integration of cognitive behavioral therapy strategies, narrative therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques. As we work through this therapeutic process together, clients are able to identify how their own hopes and dreams of living a more peaceful, happy and abundant life can become a reality. I believe all individuals have worth and value and need to have an opportunity to make life what they have always imagined!

“Trauma-focused therapy is at the heart of my practice, and I offer a warm, supportive space for healing and growth.” I’ve been a therapist for more than 38 years, and I bring a steady, compassionate approach to helping adults through a wide range of challenges. Over the past 16 years, I worked in two Veterans Outpatient Clinics, where I had the privilege of supporting both male and female veterans.

Hi, my name is Mary. I am a Licenced Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of PA. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kutztown University in 2016. I have been providing counseling serves for the late 8 year with in the community and school setting. I have had the pleasure of working with a varities of individual and families throughout this time.

I started my career in human services at Northeast Treatment Centers in Philadelphia, PA where, over the course of 7 years, I worked as Youth Advocate for adjudicated adolescents, lead clinician for a community-based treatment team and outpatient therapist. After becoming a licensed psychotherapist in 2014, I worked as an outpatient therapist for multiple companies in the Philadelphia area where I helped clients manage or overcome symptoms related to anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and more. My therapeutic approach is strongly rooted in humanistic psychology. As described in an article from the Association for Humanistic Psychology, this approach offers a "crucial opportunity to lead our troubled culture back to its own healthy path. More than any other therapy, Humanistic-Existential therapy models democracy. It imposes ideologies of others upon the client less than other therapeutic practices. Freedom to choose is maximized. We validate our client's human potential."

My style of therapy is one of an eclectic approach that allows me to utilize appropriate interventions based on the needs of each person. I have worked with adolescents and adults in residential/crisis treatment centers, colleges, community mental health facilities, and substance use treatment centers. I have experience with clients diagnosed with severe mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, and interpersonal issues. I work with individuals ages 14 and up, who are either coming to therapy for the first time or would like to continue therapy to work on their personal goals. I am a Licensed Social Worker who is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life changes, develop healthy skills, and feel empowered to achieve their personal goals. I work with clients to identify patterns, behaviors, and thoughts that are negatively impacting their lives through a person-centered and strengths-based approach. I can see clients virtually that live in PA.

My name is Dr. Arnold Tilden and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Early on, we will set goals for our counseling and regularly check our progress. We work as partners in reaching our goals. My approach, although eclectic, is influenced by Albert Ellis and his Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy or REBT. The central concept is that our thinking (Rational) influences our emotions (Emotive), which drives or behavior.

I believe that no matter what someone has been through, change is possible. Life can be overwhelming, relationships can become painful, and it's easy to feel stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break. I love helping individuals and couples better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and find hope again. My counseling style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I want my clients to feel safe enough to be themselves without fear of judgment, while also feeling supported and challenged to make meaningful changes. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, gain a better understanding of what's beneath the surface, and develop practical skills to help you move forward with greater confidence and peace. As a Christian therapist, I enjoy working with clients who want to include their faith as part of the counseling process. I enjoy blending biblical wisdom with evidence-based therapy in a way that feels natural and meaningful. I believe real change happens through both compassion and accountability. I'll meet you with empathy, but I won't leave you where you are. I'll help you recognize the patterns that are holding you back, encourage you to see things from new perspectives, and equip you with practical tools to create lasting change in your life and relationships.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) with eight years of experience working with a variety of populations. I'm passionate about helping clients improve their sense of self-esteem and overcome past trauma. In terms of personal interests, I enjoy creating art, reading, and being creative all around. I try to incorporate these interests and inspire others within the therapeutic process.

For many years, I worked as a retail manager, where I gained valuable insight into human behavior, conflict resolution, and the importance of mentoring others through life's challenges. Those experiences taught me that every person has a unique story, and with the right support and perspective, they can discover the strength and wisdom they already possess. I approach each person with honesty, compassion, an open mind, and a willingness to think outside the box. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I believe in helping people uncover the answers that align with their own journey, empowering them to recognize their strengths and make meaningful connections that foster growth and healing. My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate life's questions and challenges. Drawing from both my professional background and my own lived experiences, I strive to provide guidance, encouragement, and a safe space where you can gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward with purpose.

I’m a dedicated mental health professional with over 10 years of experience in the helping professions, driven by a deep passion for supporting people in creating meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in treating anxiety and related disorders, grief and loss, depression, as well as relationship and attachment issues. I also have extensive experience working in addiction and behavioral health, supporting individuals through recovery with compassion, structure, and practical tools for sustainable progress. I also work with anxiety disorders and phobias, helping clients better understand their patterns and gradually overcome avoidance so they can live more freely. A core part of my work focuses on self-confidence and self-image. I help clients challenge negative self-beliefs, strengthen their sense of identity, and develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with themselves. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each individual’s goals. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering—giving you the skills, insight, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges long after our work together ends.

Welcome! Many of us seek therapy, counseling, psychological treatment, or guidance from professionals at different junctures in our lives. Maybe a relationship isn't as fulfilling as you like, or a traumatic experience continues to haunt and stifle you from moving forward, or you are overwhelmed by sadness and facing a significant loss. Whatever your reason for seeking out a therapist, I am here to help you better understand yourself in relation to life events, your thoughts, your behaviors, societal and family factors and most importantly, here to help you decide how to move forward. ​ ​

Hi, I am so glad you have decided to take a step in healing from your past. I specialize in working with people who grew up in families where there was some type of instability or turmoil. This could have been from addiction, mental health, abuse, neglect, anger, poverty, foster care placement, religious trauma or anything that caused some form of trauma. Oftentimes times those who grew up in this type of situation feel responsible for it or that somehow they should have fixed it.

I tend to work best with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, including why they keep getting stuck in the same patterns even when they know those patterns are not working for them. I spent most of my career in community mental health, working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with a wide range of problems. My approach is relational and psychodynamic, so I’m interested in how your past experiences, relationships, and the world around you have shaped who you are today. I’m not a therapist who is going to give you a worksheet for every problem. I listen closely, ask a lot of questions, and will challenge you when I think it might be helpful. I take therapy seriously, but I’m not especially formal, and humor tends to find its way into the work.

Who you are matters to me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping you feel seen, heard, and understood. I have over 24 years of experience in the field of human services and have worked with a variety of populations over my career. I've worked with populations and in settings such as a psychiatric Partial Hospitalization Program for youth/teens, adult short-term crisis residence, juvenile justice/residential facilities, child welfare, Older Adult protective services, aging, and adults with disabilities. I take a holistic approach and believe that the mind, body, and spiritual aspects of a person’s life all require balance and attention for overall wellness. I will meet you where you are at and gently challenge you to reframe your thoughts so that you can see your true potential and strengths. Together we can explore what drives behavior to gain a better understanding on how to move forward and get unstuck from patterns that no longer serve you.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to show up as your full self. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where you can explore what you are going through without feeling judged or pressured to have everything figured out. I see therapy as something we do together. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find ways to move toward the life you want. I bring genuine care, curiosity, and hope into our work while respecting your needs and your pace. I understand that growth is not always a straight path. Whether you are facing a major change, working through past experiences, or trying to reconnect with yourself, I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest, feel supported, and make meaningful changes.

I served twelve years in the air Force before starting this journey.

Hi there! I'm assuming you made it to my page because life has gotten particularly difficult and you're searching for some sort of direction or confirmation that "you are not crazy for feeling that way". We are not crazy for feeling - and therapy can help assist you in understanding why some emotions are more difficult to feel than others. Recovery is about learning tolerance; not forgetting and dismissing your experiences. I am experienced in working in both outpatient offices and inpatient hospital settings where I support clients in addressing issues stemming from generational trauma, relationships, grief and loss, life adjustments, substance use / other addictions, anxiety, and serious mental illness. I view therapy as a process that requires learning about vulnerability and accountability and then applying both for results.

My role is to help you feel understood, identify what’s getting in the way, and develop practical tools that support meaningful change. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and create goals that fit your life.

As a licensed professional counselor, I provide an empathetic approach to counseling. My goal is to create a trusting environment to build a positive therapeutic relationship. By doing this, my client is able to discuss those issues they may have never disclosed before. My specialty is in behavior modification for children (beginning at 3 years old) and also trauma for children through adults. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, ADHD, self-harm, mood disorders, personality disorders, and anger management. I use evidence-based therapy such as CBT, TF-CBT, and EMDR I use a warm, non-judgmental approach to help clients better understand their patterns of feeling, thinking, and behaving and to learn to cope and communicate in healthier ways.

I'm Shekhina, a Multiracial/Biracial Messianic Jewish Believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as my Lord and Savior, in addition to a faith-based Psychotherapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Licensed Behavioral Consultant based out of Philadelphia, PA. I hold an MS from Grand Canyon University and have over 25 years of experience in counseling. I have owned and founded The Counselor's Heart Therapeutic Services since 2019. My mission is to help individuals grow in their relationship with Yeshua (Jesus), identify the root of dysfunctional behavior, and break the cycle of sin, toxic patterns, and intergenerational trauma/generational curses. People often "move forward with time, but never move on," meaning they move on with time but never move on from past hurts. I aim to help clients move forward to live productive and healthy lives, guided by their faith in God, and free from the burden of past trauma.

I have 32 years of experience providing counseling. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, stressing that what we think determines what we feel and what we do. For many reasons, people learn unrealistic or destructive thoughts that cause them problems in their lives. Therapy works towards more realistic thinking, and avoiding old and destructive thinking. As I like to say, "therapy is a conversation with a destination," and realistic thinking is that destination. While I am a Christian, I am not trained as a Christian Counselor. I am a "Counselor who is a Christian." My training is secular, and I regularly see people or all faiths, or none at all. I do not offer court ordered services, nor do I do assessments for custody, or any other legal purpose. Unfortunately, I cannot accept Medicare, or Medicare based plans. The world is changing, and more and more people are reaching out. I am seeing more men that have been in abusive relationships. There are also more people dealing with loss. Coming to my office is not like going to a big mental health clinic where you just another number on a spreadsheet. In my care, you are a person, and you'll be treated like one.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker conducting sessions virtually in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Nevada. I specialize in people that are going through tough times and need coping skills to manage. Life might have thrown you curve balls, and you might not be accepting of the uncertainty and the change. I'll be here to tell you that bad situations can be temporary and life changes can also be great. I specialize in helping people who fall down but get back up. I'll help you to talk about your feelings and help you to make treatment goals that you have been wanting to reach.

I am a therapist who specializes in Addiction Recovery, Anxiety and Depressive Disorders. I prefer a Biopsychosocial approach to therapy. I recognize that past trauma, maladaptive thought patterns and environment contribute greatly to how we perceive others and how we "show up" in the world. My job is to challenge thought patterns and support growth while clients empower themselves to make change and develop strategies to improve circumstances.

Clients often tell me they’ve never had a therapist quite like me. Many of my clients have tried therapy before but felt it was mainly surface-level venting. Sessions with me are far more than that. My style is active, collaborative, and grounded in honest conversation. I won’t simply nod along or repeat what you’ve already told me. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, challenge what isn’t working, and help you make sense of your experiences in a way that leads to meaningful change. I include humor in our sessions when it feels right. Therapy can be meaningful without being stiff or overly clinical. Some conversations will be deep and challenging, while others might include humor or a different perspective. You don’t have to hold back here. You can be blunt, emotional, messy, or even make a sarcastic joke during tough discussions. I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for honesty and a willingness to move forward. Understanding your diagnosis or past experiences is part of therapy, but it’s not everything. Some struggles come from trauma, mental health, or life experiences, while others are simply part of being human. We all face relationships, stress, loss, uncertainty, and change. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or label, we’ll look at the full picture of your life and find meaningful ways to move forward. This work is a good fit if you are open to new ideas, willing to be challenged, and ready to apply what we discuss between sessions. I’ll provide practical tools, but therapy isn’t about quick fixes. Gaining insight is valuable, but insight alone doesn’t create change. Sometimes the work is learning to manage discomfort rather than eliminate it. Together, we’ll understand what keeps you stuck and learn to respond differently over time.
