Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and state of Delaware with a passion for helping clients manage the difficult moments in their journey through life. I completed my doctoral studies in Marriage and Family Therapy ,while working in the Pennsylvania foster care/adoption community for over 10 years in a leadership role and about 10 years in community behavioral health providing outpatient therapy (children/adults/families). I provide clinical supervision to practicing clinicians and supervision for Masters level interns. My passion is helping individuals and families discover their unique path to healing and mental wellness.

Starting therapy is a brave and meaningful step toward caring for your mental health. It’s natural to feel a mix of emotions—empowered, curious, or even a little uncertain—as you begin this journey. I’m a Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience in the mental health field, dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma with compassion and evidence-based care. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you can openly explore what you’re going through, whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or challenges with self-care. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches designed to ease distress, build helpful skills, and uncover deeper insights that foster healing. Therapy is not only about addressing struggles—it’s also a space for growth, self-discovery, and creating the life you truly want. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here to walk alongside you and support you in building a path that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I have extensive experience working with Veterans, active military personnel, and first responders, and I’m deeply committed to helping each client move toward healing, resilience, and personal growth.

I've always believed that most people aren't broken, they're stuck. And stuck is something we can work with. For 15 years I have worked with a wide range of people: veterans carrying wounds that never got proper attention, couples trying to find their way to a healthier relationship, individuals wrestling with OCD or trauma or habits they can't seem to shake, and families navigating transitions that turned their world upside down. I tend to be direct yet compassionate in the way approach therapy and to what my clients are dealing with. The best complement for me is when a client tells me how they felt seen and heard unlike they have had previously. I have a particular place in my heart for those living between worlds - racial minorities, expats, and members of immigrant communities who are navigating the push and pull of various socio-cultural forces. I understand that experience from the inside, not just from a textbook. If you are someone who is ready to engage honestly and wants a clinician who will meet you with both expertise and genuine care, please reach out.

I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. I provide a collaborative space where we can explore life's challenges, strengthen resilience, and reconnect to a sense of purpose. I work with adults of all ages and have a special interest in supporting older adults, as well as people experiencing life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, or spiritual concerns. For clients who desire it, I integrate spirituality and the Christian faith into the therapeutic process in ways that are meaningful and respectful of each person's faith. In addition to being a therapist, I am also an ordained minister who works with people of various faiths. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I am committed to providing an affirming, welcoming environment for LGBTQ individuals. I recognize that navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, and faith can be complex. I strive to create a space where every person feels respected, valued, and empowered to live authentically. . My approach focuses on the whole person—mind, body, emotions, relationships, and spirit. I use emotional freedom technique and mindfulness based therapy. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist/sex therapist in Pennsylvania with over 12 years of professional work experience. I have specialized experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relational/sexual issues, intimacy, family conflicts, & LGBTQ+. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I take a nurturing and affirming approach to validate one’s experiences and perspective; and we will work together to shift that perspective where needed. I strive to take a collaborative approach in treatment identifying all aspects of one’s life e.g. family, religious background, relationships, career, and overall beliefs and values in order to challenge clients to look at all pillars in their lives to see where and if change needs to occur. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

My name is David Lori. I have provided in-person and, over the past six years (telehealth) counseling to children, adolescents, and adults for over 25 years. I welcome new and returning clients into telehealth services. I believe it is important for individuals to feel supported, emotionally safe, and know that they are being heard and not judged. I have adopted various clinical approaches to my work with clients, including but not limited to Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, Existential, and Cognitive-Behavioral treatment. I encourage clients to drive treatment in terms of what is meaningful for them to discuss during sessions. I consider myself a grounded, genuine and welcoming therapist. I work to promote insights, effective coping skills, and growth for each individual served. In addition, I encourage clients to not only work towards managing symptoms but also what their struggles are attempting to inform them about the situations themselves.

Jonah Rosen, LCSW, is an IFS and EMDR therapist specializing in neurodiversity-affirming care for Autistic, ADHD, PDA, and other neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and families. They integrate IFS, EMDR, and psychoeducation to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and build lives that work with their brains—not against them. Many of the people I work with feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or exhausted by expectations that don't seem to fit how their brains work. Therapy can be a space to better understand yourself, develop practical tools, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

As a therapist, my work centers on creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their inner worlds and work toward healing. My approach is deeply informed by both clinical training and my own life experiences, which have taught me that vulnerability is not weakness—it's the gateway to authentic connection and growth. I believe that every person carries within them the capacity for resilience and transformation. My role isn't to "fix" anyone, but to walk alongside them as they discover their own strength and wisdom.

Hi everyone! My name is Stefanie, Trauma Specialist, Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Massage Therapist. As a trauma specialist, and very non-traditional therapist, I use both Body Work treatments & Psychotherapy to help you heal. Servicing PA and NJ, together we come up with a healing treatment plan personalized to you. I have a passion for helping Victims of violent crimes and a special focus on First Responders, LEO'S and Veterans. Also noted, I am an advocate for Mens mental health. Ready to heal? Prior to our first session, I offer a free 15 minute consultation! I am looking forward to working with you on YOUR healing journey !

I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to struggle internally and question your own worth. I spent years learning how to care for the person I saw in the mirror instead of criticizing them. That journey taught me compassion, resilience, and the importance of feeling truly understood — and it’s what drives my work helping others discover their own strength and value.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of methods to best support your unique needs. I like to help clients see that many of their struggles are shaped by social systems, cultural expectations, and identity, not personal shortcomings, and we can explore these influences in ways that feel safe and empowering. I also use evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy to identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to build awareness and calm, and psychoeducation to help you understand how your mind and body respond to stress or challenges. My focus is on practical, real-world strategies that help you feel more grounded, in control, and confident in your choices. Together, we create a space where you can make sense of your experiences, build skills, and move toward the life you want.

I have a lot of experience helping people with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship, and extensional issues. I am a caring, empathetic, and person-centered clinician with many years of experience in the mental health field. No matter what you are struggling with, my evidence based approaches will help you find relief, a path forward, and a sense of self. You can be certain that you will feel seen and accepted for whoever you are or whatever you are going through.

Feeling overwhelmed, constantly stressed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted can make even everyday life feel difficult. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, managing depression or anxiety, coping with a major life transition, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. With more than 23 years of experience assisting others, I help adults develop practical coping skills, manage stress more effectively, improve communication, and build healthier relationships—with partners, family members, friends, coworkers, and themselves. My approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful, lasting change rather than just talking about your struggles. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, life stress, relationship concerns, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and the emotional challenges that often come with caregiving, parenting, and major life transitions.

I wear many hats as a talk-therapist, creative arts therapist, mom, partner, friend, and engaged community member. While balancing a career as a teaching artist and mom, I was drawn to counseling because of the help I received and my desire to help others navigate life's challenges.

Hello! My name is Sascha Baello. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC). I aim to help clients to reclaim the peace in their lives after struggling with C-PTSD and life issues resulting from narcissistic abuse and other forms of trauma.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or family challenges. You don’t have to face it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults to help them gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and build on their natural resilience. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and develop strategies that bring real and lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

I bring a wide range of life experiences into my work and offer a relaxed, approachable presence in each session. We’ve all received messages throughout our lives—some that have supported us and others that have caused harm. Together, we can begin to sort through those experiences and let go of what no longer serves you. I take a holistic approach, recognizing that we are more than just our minds, and I intentionally integrate the body and spirituality into the work. My background is in progressive Christianity, while remaining open and respectful of all spiritual paths. I believe people grow most effectively in relationship—with support, insight, and accountability guiding the process.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” — Carl Rogers I believe so many of us already have the capacity to become our best selves, but something gets in the way. Past experiences, anxiety, patterns we’ve learned, or ways we’ve had to cope that no longer serve us. I work with children, teens, adults, and parents who feel stuck or held back in some way, and are ready to start understanding why. Together, we look at what’s underneath those patterns and begin to gently remove the things that are no longer helping you grow. My approach is warm, supportive, and real. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, while also helping you move forward in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone completely different. It’s about coming back to yourself, with more clarity, confidence, and the ability to move through life in a way that feels better. If you’re ready to step into that version of yourself, I’d love to connect.

I am an outcome focused therapist who supports individuals struggling with anxiety, anger, emotional regulation, burnout, and grief. Many of my clients are used to holding everything together for others, including parents, caregivers, first responders, and high stress professionals, while feeling overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or stuck in survival mode themselves.

I recognize it takes courage to engage in the process of therapy. I appreciate your motivation and will work respectfully with you to create a positive, collaborative, therapeutic relationship. The focus of my practice is helping people to overcome and understand issues that impact their quality of life. I feel it is essential to understand the person as a whole by having a clear picture including mind, body, and spirit, to start the healing process to grow. I provide a safe judgment-free space where my clients can feel comfortable discussing the issues they wish to resolve or find difficult to deal with. I have found the process of developing a therapeutic relationship to be profound and fundamentally important to facilitating growth and change. I am ready to assist you in these stages of change and help you to reach your goals. I am looking forward to joining you on your journey! Congratulations on deciding to take the first step in the exploration of and investment in yourself! *
