Therapists that accept Cash Pay in Pennsylvania

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from Mount Aloysius College and have been practicing for a little over 3 years. My background stems from being an inpatient counselor working with drug and alcohol clients, as well as mental health. I found a great passion in helping people in those areas and would like to continue to do that on Grow Therapy.

Hi! I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 27 years of experience, both as a clinician/case manager and in leadership and supervisory roles. My career has been dedicated to mental health and neurodiversity, and while I’m eager to continue working in these areas, I’m also open to exploring new opportunities. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds—across socioeconomic status, race, religion, nationality, and sexual and gender orientations. I primarily enjoy working with adults, though I also find great fulfillment in supporting teenagers. Authenticity, humor, and relatability are central to my approach. I believe that meaningful change begins with self-understanding, yet many people remain stuck in unhelpful patterns because they struggle to recognize or challenge them. By forming a trusting alliance with my clients, I help them uncover breakthroughs, gain fresh insights, generate new ideas, and build the motivation needed to make positive, lasting changes—even when the process feels daunting, overwhelming, or unfixable.

I'm Fred. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with experience in both medical and behavioral health settings, specializing in anxiety, trauma, and addictions. My approach is practical and collaborative — rooted in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and supported by evidence-based tools. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where clients can challenge unhelpful patterns, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with what matters most.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who supports individuals navigating the complex, tender terrain of reproductive identity—including fertility struggles, abortion, pregnancy loss, parenthood, or the choice to be childfree—as well as broader concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I work from a relational, trauma-informed, and feminist lens, and I am deeply affirming of LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent identities. Together, we make room for uncertainty, transformation, and the many layers of identity that can emerge in the process of living, healing, and becoming.

I strive to help find relief and lasting change within even the first session or two. This begins with the retainable concept of 2 simultaneous paths for clients... 1- How can clients ADDRESS the sources of their struggles? 2- How COPE clients cope in effective healthy ways? Addressing and coping are central in my work. It's like having a hornet's nest outside the front door of your home. At times, it's needed to cope with it by using a different door, putting ice on your stings, or allowing yourself a pause from taking on this trouble and finding some respite. Otherwise, it is needed to address the hornet's nest and identify and take action on what is under your control to do about it.

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 12 years of professional therapy experience. However, I have been working in the social work field for 17 consecutive years. I have experience working with clients who have mild to severe mental illness via my work in inpatient hospitals, group homes, case management, behavioral health insurance management, elementary, middle and high school settings. I have spent the past 12 years of my career providing counseling services to women and children in an Outpatient Therapy setting. I continue to provide in person Outpatient Therapy services on a fulltime basis in addition to my platform on Better Help. I have many years of experience with helping clients manage stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania.

While each individual and family is unique in their needs and ways that they grow, common goals achieved in counseling include feeling more connected to yourself, your baby or child, and your partner; changing unhealthy family patterns you don’t want to repeat from past generations; feeling more confident in yourself as a parent and partner; improving work-life balance; feeling more supported and less alone; developing your unique identity as a parent and embracing this stage of life; and improving persistent feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, anger, and feeling overwhelmed.
