I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel real—not overly clinical or like you have to say the “right” things. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, trauma, and life situations that feel overwhelming or hard to manage. A lot of the people I work with feel stuck, drained, or unsure where to even start—and that’s completely okay. I’m both supportive and direct. I’ll meet you where you are, but I’ll also help you look at patterns, behaviors, and thoughts that might be keeping you stuck. My goal isn’t just to listen—it’s to help you actually move forward. My background includes working in high-stress environments and supporting people through complex challenges, including trauma and substance use. Because of that, I take a practical, down-to-earth approach that focuses on what actually works in real life—not just in theory.

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.

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 am not the type of therapist to take your time and money, if you don't do the work. Therapy is work and there's "homework," in the time we don't see eachother to self reflect on.

Hello. My name is John Petkac and I have been providing psychotherapy services for over 29 years. In addition to clinical psychology, I have background and education in music education, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My background and life experience gives me an ability to see a larger picture of situations in life and offer unique resolutions to things that may be occuring. I am a strong believer in the individual's ability to address and resolve their own issues. Through the process of therapy, we will explore what has been working for you and what has not. It is my belief and practice to treat the person, not the symptoms or the problem. We will work on building and adding to the skills you already possess to help you to build a more fulfilling life. An integral part of this process is assisting you in an increased understanding and awareness of yourself. Personal growth involves seeing and making informed choices. Therein lies the importance of self-awareness - there is no choice where there is no awareness. Raising a level of self-awareness increases your ability to have and make choices. Through exploration of these factors and possibly more, we will work toward a resolution that works for you and one that allows you to live a fuller and happier life.

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.

Do you feel overwhelmed by life’s constant demands? Are anxiety, intrusive thoughts, self-doubt, or low mood making it difficult to feel like yourself? I’m here to help you navigate difficult times and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe healing begins with a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship—one grounded in compassion, respect, and personalized care. I work with adults ages 18 and older who are experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan that honors your unique strengths, values, and lived experiences. My approach is warm, active, and collaborative. I draw from person-centered, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and solution-focused therapies, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety-related concerns. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and build on the strengths you already possess. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences with honesty and curiosity. My goal is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to help you develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and the confidence to create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

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.

Hi 👋🏽 I'm Dr. Judge! I specialize in supporting women and mothers through life's challenges, relationship concerns, and personal growth. This may include helping you manage anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, and burnout. Between motherhood, work, relationships, and the many responsibilities of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of your own needs. Maybe you're navigating a new season of motherhood, trying to communicate more effectively in your relationships, working on setting boundaries, or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself. I offer a warm, compassionate, faith-centered space where you can talk openly, gain perspective, and explore what matters most to you. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, having a space to think things through, understand yourself better, and consider new ways of approaching life's challenges can make a meaningful difference. My approach is relational, collaborative, and practical. I believe that feeling heard and understood is an important part of growth. Together, we explore your concerns, identify patterns, and develop strategies that support the life and relationships you want to build. Please highlight the link https://www.intentionalchanges.org and place in your browser to get to know more about my practice and how I can be helpful to you.

Other areas with couples I have treated have been related to infertility, infidelity, parenting issues, financial problems, and family problems.

I work with adults who may look like they have things together on the outside but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying everything on their own. You may be dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief or loss, major life changes, identity concerns, work stress, or just the feeling that something in your life needs to change. My approach is warm, straightforward, and down-to-earth. Therapy with me is a real conversation—not a clinical interrogation or a place where you have to say the “right” thing. We’ll work together to understand what’s happening, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical ways to move forward. I also incorporate evidence-based approaches, including CBT, while tailoring therapy to the person in front of me. You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling understood, but also with greater clarity about yourself and where you want to go next. In addition to my therapy work, I also work as an ICU nurse, which has deeply influenced my perspective on stress, trauma, and the complexity of being human. That experience allows me to bring a grounded, compassionate, and realistic understanding of life’s pressures into the therapy room. Outside of work, I value quiet, restorative time. I enjoy working out, staying active, and taking care of my own well-being. I love spending time at home with my husband and our pets, and I’m a big fan of unwinding with a good movie. I believe balance, connection, and moments of calm are essential — not just luxuries — and I often help clients explore how to build more of that into their own lives.

I've helped thousands of people with mood/emotion and also cognitive troubles coming from many sources: depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, concussions and traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and numerous other mental health, neurological, and physical health conditions. I've worked in community counseling centers, inpatient psychiatry units, big academic medical centers, small community hospitals, outpatient behavioral health clinics, neurology clinics, inpatient physical rehabilitation units, and VA medical centers.

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.

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.

I hold a Master of Arts Degree from Edinboro University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been in practice for the past eight years in a variety of settings. These settings include working for a hospital at their inpatient hospital-based twelve-step drug and alcohol unit/program. In addition, I have had the oppurtinorty to work in public schools as a school-based counselor covering six schools working with students in grades k-12, Other areas of practice experience include working with individuals, groups, families, couples, children, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults. I am an experienced therapist, licensed in the state of Pennsylvania since 2018. I have a passion for working with people from all different backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles, and ethnicity. I remain open-minded to whatever the client's needs are and tailor therapy techniques and approaches to best fit the client's needs. While meeting with each client, I try to imagine what it must be like to be this person and to experience all of the things they have gone through and are going through. I find myself able to connect with each one of my clients on a personal level to give every individual the same respect, dignity, understanding, empathy, compassion, and time, a person deserves while actively listening to what the client is saying verbally and non-verbally. I am always learning new information, and therapy techniques, and growing my skills while increasing my abilities and knowledge in the mental health field and applying this knowledge to my everyday practice. Each of my clients teaches me something new and in turn, I utilize this knowledge gained to grow both personally, spiritually, and professionally and enrich myself as a therapist. 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! *

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, working and living under the Arizona sun. I feel deeply connected to the community I grew up in and remain committed to serving clients in Pennsylvania. I began my undergraduate studies at William Paterson University of New Jersey, where I played Division III soccer. Balancing academics, athletics, and life responsibilities gave me firsthand insight into the challenges young adults face, furthering my interest in mental health. After graduation, my work in drug and alcohol counseling revealed the impact of trauma and inspired me to pursue a master’s degree in Community and Trauma Counseling at Jefferson University–East Falls. Shortly after graduating from Jefferson, I became a licensed professional counselor which is one of my most proudest achievements.

Hi! I am Kim Allen. I am excited to meet with you! I have been working with individuals of all ages for over 20 years. I have always been passionate about helping others and would love to support you whether you are simply going through some tough times, needs some motivation in making a change in your life or are struggling with some more difficult challenges.

I am particularly passionate about helping others find ways to make changes using natural means including things such as meditation, dietary changes, nutritional supplementation and behavior modification. Whether you are new to therapy or just seeking someone new to work with, I understand that taking the step to meet with someone new can be overwhelming. You have taken the first step toward making change. I hope you will let me help you take the next step!

Welcome! I'm Deborah Strouse, LCSW, a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nearly two decades of clinical experience. I graduated from Temple University with my master's degree in 2007 and hold a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) Credential in PA . My personality is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is a real bond and the ultimate key to your success in therapy. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I draw from both my professional training and my own rich life experiences-- from the discipline of practicing karate to the groundbreaking peace of nature foraging, kayaking, and hiking-- to provide a safe, affirming virtual sanctuary for my clients. In my work, I blend mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, leaning heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing. This means our sessions will combine deep, compassionate listening with the development of tangible, real-world emotional regulation skills. My ideal clients are resilient individuals navigating the complex, often overwhelming waters of major life transitions, profound stress, and identity exploration. Many belong to underserved populations or the queer community and are seeking a non-judgmental space to process change. Whether you are enduring the raw weight of a divorce, facing sudden career shifts, or working through deep-seated anxiety, I know how freezing and terrifying these moments can feel. You do not have to cut through the noise alone. Together, we will work at your pace to dismantle shame, reclaim your inner strength, and build a lasting, balanced foundation of stability, purpose, and radical self-love. Let's take that next step together.

Sometimes the greatest discoveries we make aren't about the world around us, but about the parts of ourselves we've yet to understand. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience, I believe therapy is more than simply addressing symptoms. It's an opportunity to explore who we are, understand our experiences, and create meaningful change. My therapeutic style is compassionate, genuine, and direct. I believe in building authentic relationships with my clients through open conversation, collaboration, and mutual respect. I'm not a therapist who simply sits back and listens. I actively engage in our conversations, offer insight, ask thoughtful questions, and encourage you to explore different perspectives. I embrace an eclectic and holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and soul. My interest in depth psychology encourages us to look beyond the surface, exploring unconscious patterns, personal beliefs, and the experiences that shape who we are. I also respect the role spirituality and individual belief systems may play in healing and self-discovery. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring life's challenges, and discovering the person you are becoming.
