Hello, my name is Lynn Ackert, I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania with 13 years of experience. My background includes working with children and teenagers in various mental health settings, and with adults of all ages in crisis and outpatient settings. In my work with clients, I focus on my clients' strengths, by creating an open and safe environment of rapport where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Taking the first step to connect to therapy takes courage. I am here to support you on that journey. I enjoy working with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and pulling from other therapeutic orientations for skills and tools to manage challenges. Working with clients on anxiety, depression, trauma and life challenges offers the opportunity to use strengths to create a joyful life. I am trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy for trauma memories and follow a trauma-informed practice with continuing education on various topics.

Hi I'm Gwyn! Have you found that somedays are great and other days you can barely accomplish minimal tasks. This struggle is real and often times we can thank anxiety, depression, and trauma for this rocky road. The body and mind desires balance, consistency, and routine which can easily be disturbed with everyday life stress. Perfection is not an option however, by working together we will explore how to feel more in control of your stress and anxious thoughts. I work with my clients to create an open and safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. Let’s restore hope together.

I have been in the mental health profession for over 10 years. I have many years experience working with adults, children and adolescents with mental health issues. I continue educating myself on various interventions and techniques. I strive to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which individuals can express themselves. I believe that compassion, empathy and patience are needed with all. I have a genuine concern for my patients. I have experience with Individual, group, couples and family therapy.

My clients come to me because they want to deepen and strengthen their relationships - not just with each other, but with themselves. They want to understand the family and societal systems that shaped them into who they are today, and to heal old wounds and trauma so that they can move forward from a place of strength, healing, and connection. Many of my clients exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and have struggled to find a therapist who will understand and not further stigmatize their identities, and who is committed to unlearning systems of oppression. I seek to provide a healing space for them. I primarily draw from Internal Family Systems, Narrative, & Gottman therapies in my work, as well as specializing in working with LGBTQ+ clients. My goal is to help clients understand and articulate different "parts" of themselves, and deepen their curiosity and compassion for the parts that present barriers to healing. My constant intention is to provide culturally sensitive and affirming care, as well as a safe and affirming space for you to explore your strengths and challenges. I welcome feedback at every step of the process - communication is the backbone of any relationship, including the therapeutic one! I look forward to hearing from you and taking our next step.

Hi! My name is Chelsea. I am a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania. I provide short-term and long-term virtual individual therapy for adolescents and adults. I have been privileged to work with clients in crisis, at the intensive outpatient level, in schools, in outpatient community mental health, and in group practice. You may be seeking therapy because your inner pain has spilled out onto your relationships, work, family, physical health, or creative endeavors, and you’re struggling to bear it on your own. Maybe you are generally well-functioning, but you have long held a sense of disconnection from life. Perhaps you are facing a significant life transition, you are grieving a loved one, or you have been unable to move on from traumatic events or periods of life. Your distress may be manifesting as anxiety, excessive worry, hypervigilance, depressed or unstable mood, irritability, numbness, hopelessness, fatigue, or suicidal thoughts. While mental health symptom relief and learning practical coping skills may be a good portion of what you need in treatment, healing does not have to stop there. Therapy can be a place to (re)discover your true self, to become unburdened from the weight of the past, to help you live a meaningful life where you have agency, or to build your psychological health.

Hello I'm Jackie. 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? Are you faced with emotional challenges, do you long for clarity on the how, the why, and the what to do, and because understanding is always that one step closer to your healing I will help you answer the tough questions. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, communication, relationship issues, grief, self worth, and more, you may need the help of a professional to help you on your journey to psychological health. I understand that facing the insurmountable stresses of life leaves many feeling uncertain about their place and purpose in the world. This is why I utilize a person-centered, evidence based approach to therapy that allows an individual the opportunity to discover and identify abilitIes that lead to accessing a successful life. Providing a safe, judgment-free, trustworthy and compassionate environment is the space I create as a therapist. In this space I help individuals focus on their individual needs, validate their experiences, unlock their inner strengths, and in so doing, reclaim their power to navigate a fulfilling life that is healed.

I work from a humanistic approach and believe in being holistic and pulling from a variety of counseling theories and techniques to meet clients where they are at. I work with children and adults from diverse backgrounds and with a range of concerns. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, dual-diagnosis clients, etc. I have a special interest in military, first responders, and children from the child welfare system. I believe that counseling is a partnership of sorts and try to help individuals meet their full potential by understanding their life experiences from their perspective. I combine experience with education to provide a realistic approach to counseling by empowering individuals in their journey and help them meet their full potential. While I am grounded in a humanistic, person-centered approach, I believe that no one person is the same and that having an eclectic approach to helping others is important. Please feel free to reach out and see how I can best help you meet your needs and reach your full potential.

In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy to my clients. My therapeutic style is rooted in client-centered and trauma-informed approaches, recognizing the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I have undergone specialized training in trauma treatment. I have a deep understanding of the impact trauma can have on individuals' lives and utilize evidence-based techniques to help clients heal and regain control over their lives. One of the methods I employ is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a proven therapeutic approach that facilitates the processing and resolution of traumatic memories and related distressing emotions. In addition to trauma treatment, I am also an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). This certification reflects my expertise in working with individuals who have ADHD, allowing me to provide targeted support and interventions tailored to their unique needs. Through a comprehensive understanding of ADHD, I assist clients in managing symptoms, developing effective coping strategies, and maximizing their potential. Beyond my professional endeavors, I prioritize maintaining strong connections with loved ones. Nurturing these relationships allows me to replenish my own emotional well-being and reminds me of the importance of meaningful connections in our lives. I also find solace and rejuvenation in nature. Engaging in activities such as kayaking, hiking, and embracing a wellness-oriented lifestyle not only promotes my personal well-being but also informs my therapeutic approach by recognizing the healing power of nature and the benefits of incorporating holistic practices into one's life.

I believe in creating a safe environment for individuals to feel comfortable to begin the process of self-discovery, growth, and healing. I believe that therapy is a collaborative endeavor that requires genuine caring without judgment. I assist individuals in clarifying their goals for treatment, rather than adopting one modality for all individuals and presenting problems. I consider myself to be an active therapist combining my experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a warm, direct, and down-to-earth approach to counseling. I have a wide range of interests and specializations, including but not limited to, anxiety and panic, depression, relationship turmoil, life transitions, bereavement, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
