EAP:Cigna Therapists in Pennsylvania

Hi, I’m Nasim Javan - a licensed therapist with over 13 years of experience and a Mom Coach. I’m also a mom of two, an avid tennis lover, and someone who deeply believes that women need more support postpartum. I specialize in helping women navigate major life transitions, with a particular focus on motherhood, identity shifts, relationship changes, loss, and career transitions. Many of the women I work with are high-functioning, capable, and used to holding everything together - until the mental load, burnout, and emotional exhaustion become too heavy to carry alone. My work is grounded in a simple truth: struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing - it means you’re unsupported. I support women who are navigating: The identity shift of motherhood Mental load overwhelm and burnout Relationship and communication challenges Guilt around asking for help or setting boundaries Loss, grief, or major life changes Feeling disconnected from themselves Together, we work to: Rebuild confidence and clarity during motherhood Reduce overwhelm and redistribute the mental load Strengthen communication and relationship dynamics Set boundaries without guilt Develop coping strategies that actually fit real life Reconnect with who you are - beyond roles and expectations

Hello there! Thank you for stopping by, and congratulations on taking the first step towards a more self-improved you. I have been in the mental health field for almost 15 years, practicing as an LPC for almost 3 years. Counseling can be scary, but being open to change and vulnerability shows great courage. I have always been passionate about people, and helping others, showing compassionate and empathy. As a valued listener, people often seek me out when they have experienced personal issues, trauma and stressors. Through your journey, I will provide a safe atmosphere in order to begin to face the complexities you are facing, help change your narrative to a more helpful narrative, and we will work together, to achieve your identified goal and success. In therapy, we work to understand yourself in new ways that feel more accepting, empowering, and extensive.

My goal in counseling is to help individuals find healing, wholeness, and peace in the midst of life's journey. I will walk with you where you are and as you are with compassion, empathy, and without judgment or condemnation. With 25 years of clinical experience, I am equipped to offer education, coping skills, and strategies that are designed to provide you with help, encouragement, and support as you navigate life challenges and stressors. My Relational, Strength-Based approach to counseling is designed to instill hope, empowerment, and restoration for the individual, family system, and couple. Real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into the gateway to joy. -Henri J.M. Nouwen Taking the first step toward counseling can feel difficult, especially when you've been carrying so much on your own. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive space where you can feel heard, gain understanding, and move toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out to me when you're ready.

I have experience working with a variety of people and diagnoses. I have specific training with individuals who have an HIV/AIDS diagnosis as well as those who identify as LGBTQ+ or who are questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity. I have worked in a variety of settings including a Center City Philadelphia outpatient practice and a suburban crisis center.

I strive to create a therapy experience that feels warm, genuine, and approachable. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I value authenticity, curiosity, and maintaining a nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable showing up as your true self. Having lived in different parts of the world, I appreciate the richness of diverse cultures, perspectives, and life experiences, and I believe healing is deeply influenced by the unique lens through which each person experiences the world. My approach is person-centered, holistic, and less focused on feeling overly clinical, with an emphasis on fostering a meaningful human connection. I aim to provide a supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their experiences, cultivate resilience, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with their values.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, panic, chronic worry, stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also work with clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone. In my practice, this means we focus on both understanding what’s happening in this moment and identifying patterns that no longer serve you. Depending on your needs, I may also integrate mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, behavioral activation, and attachment-focused interventions to support deeper emotional healing and stability. My approach focuses on building real-life tools to help you feel more steady, confident, and in control. It is structured, supportive, and collaborative. CBT is a major focus of my work, meaning we identify thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavioral cycles that keep anxiety, depression and low self esteem going—and actively work to change them in practical ways.

I am Nakia, a licensed clinical social worker in Philadelphia, and over the past 13 years I’ve had the privilege of supporting people in both mental health and healthcare settings. That experience taught me that real progress begins when you feel heard and respected. My practice is built around a client-centered approach, so you’re never a passive participant in your care. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you and work at a pace that feels right. I work with adults and older adults facing difficulties in life including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, and the unique challenges many women experience. Sessions are available in person and by telehealth, so support can fit into your life. I’d be glad to hear from you.

Hi there, my name is Karen. Are symptoms of stress, anxiety and/or depression getting in the way of you enjoying life to its fullest? Are your relationships or job performance feeling the impact too? Accepting support could be the best decision you make to start heading in a much better direction. I find it to be an incredible honor to get to know clients, no matter where they are on their journeys. And I love the process of holding a safe space for those ready to do what it takes to break free of the perceived limitations that difficult symptoms conspire to create. And for those just thinking about getting ready too! I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches (including CBT, Nurtured Heart, EFT), infused with some humor and deep reverence for the clients with whom I have the honor of meeting. If you're looking for support, even if it's not with me, I hope you take that first step today!

Welcome! I’m Gina. First off, take a second to give yourself credit for being here. Taking that first step toward therapy is a big deal and honestly, it can feel empowering, confusing, and a little scary all at once. I am a licensed therapist that has been working in the field for over 15 years. I have been in outpatient care for the past 8 years and have experience working with all ages.

That feeling you can’t quite put into words, the ache of wishing things had unfolded differently, missing the person you were before an illness, grieving the relationship you longed for, navigating the end of a marriage, or mourning the future you imagined for yourself or your child, that is grief. Grief is not limited to physical death; it touches every season of unexpected transition, unmet expectations, and profound life change. Walking alongside individuals through these tender, vulnerable spaces is my life’s work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients across Pennsylvania and Delaware, my clinical passion is rooted in helping people navigate grief in all its forms. That dedication was shaped by over a decade of experience in hospice care, where I learned firsthand how honoring pain allows healing to begin. Because no two journeys of loss look the same, my approach is deeply person-centered and trauma-informed. I view your story through a family systems lens, recognizing how relationships, roles, and family dynamics shape how you carry pain. In our sessions, we balance gentle, compassionate space with practical tools, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize, gently challenge, and reframe the automatic negative thoughts that often accompany sorrow, guilt, and uncertainty. You do not have to carry this alone

I'm a licensed therapist with a passion for helping people unearth the strengths that are already inside of them. I enjoy supporting individuals navigating identity, life transitions, relationships, and the challenges that come along with being human. My approach draws from different modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help identify what matters most to you and take steps towards those goals; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to help you build skills to navigate difficult emotions; and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), to help you recognize and challenge self-critical thoughts. I believe therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself and explore what may be keeping you stuck, and you've already taken the first step by being here.

Hi, I'm Malika! Have you ever felt like you were wearing a mask around everyone else? That you are truly the one exception to the rule that everyone is deserving of love? That you are actually the one person in this world who must be perfect, the funniest, the most attractive? Or that there's just something "off" inside you or within your life? I work collaboratively with help my clients to help them increase their self-worth, strengthen their relationships, and develop an awareness of their emotional responses by exploring the deeper "roots" behind our protective parts of self. I believe that through exploring deeply held beliefs about oneself and the world, and accepting all parts of self, that people can achieve growth and change. Together, we will use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Therapy can be an uncomfortable and challenging process; however, it is truly a rewarding journey towards self-acceptance. As isolating as it can feel, you are not alone in these experiences. Change is possible and I would be honored to be apart of your journey towards embracing the traits and characteristics that make you uniquely you.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or frustrated by patterns you understand but can't seem to change? I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD and neurodivergence, trauma, major life transitions, relationship stress, and the emotional impact of medical concerns. My style is warm, down-to-earth, straightforward, and collaborative, with humor when it fits. I have 15 years of experience as a therapist, including 10 years working in a neuropsychology-focused setting. Together, we'll make sense of what you're experiencing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical strategies that fit your life and your goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience in individual and group counseling in settings ranging from inpatient rehab to outpatient group and individual therapy. I love what I do and consider it a privilege to work with people who are trying to be their best selves. My counseling style is rooted in compassion, authenticity, directness, and humor.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 6 years of experience providing individual outpatient therapy services to a variety of populations. I primarily use CBT, ACT, and ERP modalities but take a flexible and personalized approach with each person. I described myself as a grounded & down to earth person with a history of developing strong relationships and trust.

Hello! I am Christina. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges, with the last three years focused on trauma and substance use recovery. Since earning my Master of Social Work, I have remained passionate about creating a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space for individuals, particularly those within Black and Brown communities and those who identify as LGBTQIA+. I believe deeply in a strengths-based approach, meeting you right where you are while honoring your resilience, agency, and capacity for change because therapy is a partnership. Whether you are navigating overwhelming stress, major life transitions, or the complexities of life through substance use recovery, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. I recognize that healing is not linear and there is no one foolproof approach to therapy. My primary therapeutic framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping you build psychological flexibility, align with your core values, and move forward even amidst discomfort. Additionally, I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), which offers tools to process difficult past experiences and understand how they may be influencing your present. You don't have to have everything figured out to start therapy. Wherever you are is where we can begin.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS) with over five years of experience supporting people through cancer, serious illness, grief, and loss. As a two-time breast cancer survivor myself, I bring both professional training and personal understanding to this work, not because I have all the answers, but because I know that no two experiences are the same. If you're facing a cancer diagnosis, navigating life after treatment, living with chronic illness or chronic pain, grieving a loss, or caring for someone seriously ill, you don't have to carry that alone. I work with family caregivers as well as the nurses and healthcare professionals who carry this work every day. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and neither does healing. Whether your loss is recent or resurfacing years later, whether you're newly diagnosed, deep in treatment, in survivorship, or supporting someone you love through it all, you deserve a space that is entirely yours. A place to say the things you can't say anywhere else. I see clients via telehealth across Pennsylvania.

I would describe my work as collaborative. I believe that people are the experts on themselves, and that my job is to collaborate with them to help them build the life that they want. In my work with clients, I take the time to get to know who they are, what their life has been like, what are their struggles and what are their strengths.

I have had the privilege of walking alongside couples and families through some of their most difficult seasons, helping marriages rebuild trust, communication, and emotional connection after deep hurt and trauma. Over the years, I have supported children recovering from the effects of trauma and sexual abuse, guiding them toward safety, stability, and renewed confidence. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, trauma‑informed care that honors each client’s story. My background in Christian counseling further allows me to support clients who desire faith‑based guidance as they work toward restoration and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life’s challenges. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experiences in counseling, where I discovered the power of having a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow. That experience shaped my belief that therapy is not just about addressing problems, but about uncovering strengths, building resilience, and learning how to live with greater peace and purpose. I specialize in working with individuals managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship struggles. My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also integrate mindfulness techniques to help clients slow down, become more aware of their emotions, and respond in healthier ways. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you in your journey, offering tools, insight, and encouragement. Clients who work with me often notice they gain greater clarity, stronger coping strategies, and more confidence in navigating relationships, boundaries, and personal goals. My ultimate aim is to create a safe space where you feel truly heard, validated, and empowered to make lasting changes in your life. I currently offer sessions during weekday daytime hours, which works well for clients with flexible schedules or those seeking therapy during standard business hours.

Welcome. My name is Mel, and I have been providing therapeutic services across many levels of care since 2012. I specialize in guiding clients to build sustainable change through the development of practical skills and behaviors that fit in with their current life circumstances. You will find my practice to be straight-forward and behaviorally-focused, but also empathetic and trauma-informed. Together, we will explore barriers to your well-being, and find realistic solutions to build progress you can feel.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years of clinical experience and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. My work is grounded in existential therapy, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they navigate identity, meaning, grief, and life transitions. I believe deeply in the capacity for LGBTQ+ people not just to survive, but to thrive, and my passion lies in walking alongside clients as they explore what a more authentic and fulfilling life can look like for them. My approach is thoughtful, reflective, and relational. Rather than positioning myself as an expert with answers, I join clients as a fellow traveler. I approach each encounter as curious, present, and attuned, creating space for exploration, understanding, and self-compassion.

I love what I do as a Licensed Clinical Therapist. To me, there's no better job than showing people how to use their minds to work for them instead of against them by getting past their mental blocks and past traumas so they don't have to suffer any longer. Specifically, I work with two groups - couples and parents. Couples that aren't communicating very well that have lost that once special connection with their partner and parents struggling with their children's behaviors.

Each of us lives our story in chapters—some filled with joy, others with hardship, and many with the quiet in-betweens. As a therapist, I see my role as walking alongside people as they turn the page, helping them make meaning of the past while creating space for new beginnings. I believe we all hold the keys within us: keys to resilience, healing, growth, and self-understanding. I utilize a strength-based approach to treatment as well as incorporate various styles that suit your needs. My practice is grounded in creating a safe and supportive environment to create a healthier future while honoring the past.

I am licensed in Pennsylvania with more than 16 years of professional counseling experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, honest, and empowering. My personality is warm, down-to-earth, and direct when needed, and I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and safe to show up as their full selves. I bring a balance of compassion, professionalism, and practical problem-solving to my work, helping clients better understand themselves while also developing tools they can use in everyday life. My approach to therapy is collaborative, client-centered, and strengths-based. I work alongside clients to identify patterns, process life stressors, improve relationships, build healthier boundaries, and strengthen coping skills. I believe that healing often happens when people feel supported enough to be honest with themselves, while also being gently challenged to grow. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, grounded, and capable of creating meaningful change in their lives. I bring extensive experience in behavioral health, counseling and family systems with a strong foundation in working with diverse individuals, families, and communities.

I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental, and multicultural lens to tackle each issue in a safe and healthy way. I operate from a Person-Centered Lens, which means the client is the expert in their own life; therefore, I collaborate with you to find the best possible approach. I specialize in working with teenagers, college students, and the LGBT Community. I also focus on treating ADHD, Anxiety, BPD, Trauma, and General Life Stressors.

Hi! I’m Naomi, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and I truly enjoy helping people feel heard, understood, and supported. My background in case management has helped me appreciate how different areas of our lives impact our overall well-being, which is why I believe in looking at the whole person, not just what brings them to therapy. I have experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, women's issues, self-esteem, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and building healthy coping skills. My goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where you can be yourself, feel free to talk openly, and know you won't be judged. I believe therapy is a team effort, and I'm here to meet you where you are and work alongside you as you navigate life's ups and downs and work toward becoming the best version of yourself.

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome. I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.

I am a empathetic and creative mental health counselor who believes in meeting each person where they are with understanding, respect, and an open mind. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore their experiences, build resilience, and discover their strengths. My approach integrates mindfulness, empowerment, and evidence-based therapeutic strategies. I encourage clients to develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthy coping skills, and a deeper understanding of the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe growth requires both compassion and courage - the ability to accept ourselves as we are while remaining open to becoming who we want to be. Through compassion and empowerment, I hope to help individuals embrace their imperfections, take accountability for their choices, and recognize the change is possible, even when the journey feels difficult.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience helping individuals and couples work through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and everyday life challenges. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with supportive, honest conversations and practical strategies. I want clients to feel comfortable being themselves, talking openly, and knowing they won't be judged. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, explore different perspectives, and work toward meaningful changes.

My work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a space where they can slow down, breathe, and feel supported without judgment. I offer a warm, collaborative environment where teens, adults, and parents can show up exactly as they are. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of themselves. My goal is to help you make sense of what you’re carrying, feel more grounded, and leave each session with a little more clarity and hope. I offer a supportive space for teenagers to explore school stress, friendships, family expectations, and identity development. With adults, my work focuses on the layered realities of everyday life; responsibilities, relationships, work demands, and the emotional weight that comes with trying to “do it all.” If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for things to feel different, I’m here to help. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating — it can be a place where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged as you navigate whatever comes next. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I’m Tiffany and I’m so glad that you are here. Making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming and my goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible while we explore potentially uncomfortable topics. I strive to create a warm, friendly, and collaborative environment where you will feel supported and understood. We will work together to better understand your unique circumstances, discover your strengths, and develop the tools to help navigate the stressors that come your way. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other stressors that negatively impact your mental health. I also enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and helping people to feel empowered and develop resilience. Regardless of what life throws at you, you don’t have to face it alone. My hope is that you leave each session feeling supported, empowered, and a little closer to the life that you want to create for yourself.

I have worked for many years as a counselor and therapist. I believe that everyone has a story; and every story should be valued and deeply understood. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families unpack their stories and move toward healing from individual hurts and broken relationships. I named my practice Strength for Living because the journey sometimes gets too difficult to manage alone; we sometimes need help to find strength to keep moving forward. I use a variety of treatments to meet clients where they are, and help them move toward hope and recovery. Trauma-informed, evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and emotionally focused therapy can help you take a deeper look at your experiences and the patterns that interrupt your relationships with others. Taking a deep look at your own painful experiences can be hard work! Digging into your thoughts and feelings can be scary. It can also be your first step toward healing and restoration. If you are suffering, don't continue to suffer alone. Strength for Living is here to offer a safe place to begin your journey toward healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of North and South Carolina. I graduated from Liberty University in 2013. My approach to counseling is very eclectic and person-centered. I have experience in the utilization of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy (FT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and I also assist clients with implementing forms of meditation into their daily lifestyle. I aim to empower each person I am allowed to serve, and to assist them with understanding that each person can heal, cope, and/or adapt despite life's challenges. The power to create change is within each one of us, and my job is to assist you with that process.

I am a veteran of the helping professions, having served since 1982 in some capacity or another, and I still find excitement in the possibility of helping those who need such assistance. I am currently licensed in two states, both North Carolina and Pennsylvania. I find many people respond to my ability to simply listen and that shows that they do not often feel they have been heard and sometimes this is all that is necessary to start the journey to begin healing. Certainly more is often required, and helping people connect with effective treatments whether provided by myself or not is the best help that can be given.

Hi, I’m Malika Abdullah, MA, LPC. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable talking openly.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step to being your most authentic self. I am happy to support you in your journey wether you are dealing with the stress of your job, relationship and/or supporting aging patents, I will be your sounding board where we can work through making those difficult decisions and talk about ways to create change in your life.

My counseling style is empathic and conversational, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. We'll incorporate your experiences, feelings, and values into a meaningful life story. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, narrative, and evidence-based strategies while allowing space for rediscovery, growth, and repair. I specialize in depression, self-esteem, substance use and misuse, men's mental health, and relationship issues. Relationships are often the most important things in our lives, and all treatment holds this at its core. When we pursue change, we strengthen our relationships and become better partners, parents and friends. I strive to meet the client where they're at and tailor the approach based on their needs. My style is empathic and supportive. We will figure out where and how you'd like to make changes, uncover the patterns that have kept you stuck, and do the rewarding work of letting go of the things that aren't working for you anymore.
