I really enjoy talking about life in general and I hope to bring that to the therapy. I look at sessions like a conversation about psychology while providing structure to achieve goals. I hope that makes it interesting while remaining focused on you as an individual. I think life is very much about learning new things. This philosophy supports being a person who needs to learn and grow.

You’ve been holding a lot together—and it’s getting harder to keep it that way. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions - but my focus often extends beyond a single diagnosis. I also support complex mental health, including dissociative identity and schizophrenia. I am especially mindful of stressors such as navigating the challenges of a loved one living with hoarding disorder, carrying loss connected to COVID, and layered intercultural or blended family dynamics. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health. Over the years I’ve worked in many roles — including supervision, leadership, and training — but what I value most is sitting down with people and helping them make sense of their lives.

Hello! I'm a Pennsylvania-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker and yoga teacher who treats anxiety, depression and trauma. I combine EMDR, somatic therapy and strength based talk therapy to help clients connect with their whole selves and live their lives more authentically. As we work together, clients become more self aware, reduce the impact of old wounds, and clear space for new patterns of thought, feeling and action. This process helps them move more freely towards the future they desire.

As a working professional myself, I know how difficult it can be to find a physical or mental health provider that works "after hours." I aim to meet you where you are, and sometimes that means after work, after class, or after the kids are in bed! I offer sessions from 6:00pm to 10:00pm in order to best assist with tackling the demands of your busy day.

I am here to help with providing ways to get started in developing a new and happier you. I can offer nine years of very successful counseling experience where I offer comfort, hope, and ultimately progress! I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Master's Degree in Education/Counseling. I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, women's issues, ptsd, bipolar, and relationships. Also I can help you overcome rejection, low self-esteem, work issues, anxiety, people pleaser tendencies, living in the past, guilt, addictions, how to stop living your life as the victim, and how to love and accept yourself. I am passionate about helping women struggling with self esteem and victimization. I use evidence based modalities such as CBT and solution focused therapy. I will introduce you to grounding, mindfulness, and deep breathing techniques. I will get you started with proven coping strategies so you can see progress faster. We will begin our journey together as we work in small steps that make sense to you. You will find that I am very easy to work with and every session will be meaningful and helpful. I look forward to helping you to feel better and stronger. Feel free to make an appointment with me in the Grow calendar today.

I've helped clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, amputations and traumatic brain injuries. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, heard, and supported, so I strive to create a calm, encouraging environment where growth can change can take place.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker residing and practicing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I hold a BA from New York University and an MSW from Fordham University. I utilize a holistic, strengths-based approach with patients to help them achieve their goals, both inside and outside of treatment. My focus is on tailoring therapy to your unique needs and supporting you through life's challenges.

As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I bring 16 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals, couples and families through complex life challenges. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families that are struggling with family conflict, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, parenting, and behavioral concerns. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and two doodles.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to move forward. I provide a direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can better understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. I focus on helping you identify what’s maintaining your distress while also building practical tools you can use in your daily life. In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s going wrong—we’ll focus on what actually helps. This includes learning how to regulate emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, set boundaries, and respond more intentionally rather than reactively. I also recognize that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or uncertain, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, while also being challenged in a way that supports real growth. If you’re looking for a therapist who is both supportive and straightforward, and who will help you develop real, usable skills—not just insight—this may be a good fit.

Hi! I'm a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with 5 years of experience in the therapy field. I love supporting teens and adults in building awareness around how experiences have shaped them and ways to unlearn some of the habits that are no longer serving them.

My style is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s resilience, identity, and capacity for growth.

Hello! My name is Heather Richards and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns at a pace that feels right for you. I help adults manage anxiety, navigate relationships, cope with stress, and handle the demands of everyday life. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical tools, and work toward greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and meaningful, lasting change.

Since I was 17, I’d always wanted to be a therapist. I learned that sometimes it takes more than just healing the mind in order to heal the whole person. That means that sometimes people need healing on emotional, psychological and spiritual levels. I then received two masters degrees, one in mental health counseling, and the other in the applied healing arts. Utilizing both these degrees has helped me to combine both traditional and alternative therapies into my work.

I can help you navigate through change: job loss, grief, family estrangement, divorce/breakup, gender exploration, working on anxious attachment or people-pleasing. Together, we can work to integrate trauma, depression, anxiety and other symptoms into a life that feels worthwhile, however you define that. There's definitely more than one path for healing, and what can look like stability to some can be uncomfortably stifling to others. I will utilize a combination of narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT/CBT skills (very optional!), feminist therapy and insight-oriented therapy to help you find your way forward. My biggest rule in therapy is "no trauma shaming." That is, if you are sharing your trauma and include a qualifier such as "other people have it worse," I will remind you that your trauma is valid! Surviving trauma is difficult enough; shame is a log lying on the train tracks. We can move it, and move forward, with the correct equipment.

I look forward to the possibility of working together and helping you achieve your personal goals. Warm regards

Hi, I’m Erica. I’m a therapist in the Philadelphia area who believes healing is rarely neat, linear, or Instagram-perfect. My approach blends evidence-based tools with an honest appreciation for how complicated, funny, painful, and beautiful being human can be. I offer a grounded, judgment-free space for people who want to understand themselves better, break old patterns, or simply breathe a little easier. As someone living with a disability, I don’t use the word “resilience” lightly. I understand what it means to navigate life with both strength and limitation, and I bring that lived insight into my work—not as a badge of honor, but as a way of connecting with people from a place of truth. I show up as a therapist, yes, but also as a real person who knows what it feels like to keep moving even when things are heavy.

I support individuals struggling with anxiety, anger, emotional regulation and grief. Especially those who feel overwhelmed, on edge, or quick to react but don’t fully understand why. Many of my clients are used to holding everything together for others: parents, caregivers, first responders, high stress professionals and often feel like there’s no space for their own emotions. Together, we focus on understanding triggers, building practical coping skills, and learning how to respond instead of react...so you can feel more in control, steady, and clear in your daily life. And yes, I give “homework” between sessions so growth continues outside our time together. I teach practical coping tools along with strength-focused strategies so you can stop just surviving and start thriving. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience and a certified grief counselor supporting individuals through loss, complicated grief, and major life transitions. Specializing in borderline personality disorder, emotion regulation and teaching DBT skills. I accept Aetna, Geisinger, Capital BCBS and several other major insurance plans in Pennsylvania, as well as self-pay. Virtual sessions are available to make therapy accessible for busy schedules.

Sometimes we find it hard to ask for help when we are struggling. For you to read this profile you have just given yourself the permission to receive the healing compassion that you so deserve and I applaud you for taking that first step. As a therapist for the past 16 years, I have made it my mission to be there for people like yourself that struggle with a multitude of stressors, including anxiety, post traumatic stress, social anxiety, struggles with communication, phobias/fears and overthinking patterns to name a few. I specialize in trauma specifically with a certification in clinical trauma (CCTP). Clients who have experienced any level of trauma, can feel confident in working with me that we will process through the trauma itself and also learn how to cope with the everyday triggers and grieving process. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for both trauma related issues and for anxiety related issues. I also incorporate eclectic approaches to my treatment since every client needs something different when it comes to navigating how to cope with their struggles. I am empathetic and an attentive listener that will be your support for whatever your journey may be. My warm caring personality matched with some humor will help us to build a solid therapeutic foundation.

Hello, I’m Colleen. Does it feel as if you are giving more energy than you have or that there are too many things and not enough mental energy to juggle all those tasks? Are you finding that your relationships are strained or that keeping up with friends and loved ones seems like an unsurmountable task? Do you find it difficult to give yourself grace and empathy? I am looking to work with young professionals and adults to help manage anxiety, burnout, depression, and the stressors that come with living in a chaotic world. Together, we can identify the issues that you are facing, discuss how best to manage these feelings and stressors and find a way to make your routine and relationships work with you instead of against you. I have weekend availability to help fit therapy into your busy schedule. I have worked in the hospital setting for seven years now and feel very comfortable talking with medical professionals about the particularly difficult strains that a career in medicine puts on individuals. Whether it is dealing with the mental load and stress of being a resident, the emotional labor done as a nurse, or the burnout that all individuals in this profession face, I am here to listen and provide non-judgmental feedback to help you manage such a demanding career. Anxiety, depression, and strained relationships can feel overwhelming and unsurmountable alone, but I’m here to help. In our sessions, I hope to provide a place where you feel safe, and somewhere we can work together to make a plan to make any stressors that you are dealing with manageable. I look forward to working with 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!

We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Hello, and welcome — I’m so glad you’ve landed on my profile. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Behavior Specialist in Pennsylvania. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and have been working in the mental health field since 2014. Most of my career has been in Intensive Behavioral Health Services (formerly BHRS), where I served as a therapeutic staff support (TSS), mobile therapist, and behavioral specialist. I worked primarily with children ages 2–16, much of that time in elementary school settings. My work focused on supporting children on the autism spectrum, as well as those with ADHD and mood disorders, while collaborating closely with families and teachers. I also have experience as an in‑house school therapist, again working with elementary‑aged students. Although my background is rooted in child and family work, I have also supported adults through IBHS and outpatient settings. Throughout my career, I’ve spent meaningful time counseling families and partnering with educators, giving me a well‑rounded understanding of the challenges they face.

Hi there, I’m Andrea Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, dedicated to supporting adults, children, and families. I specialize in helping people manage stress and anxiety, work through trauma and grief, navigate life transitions, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. In our work together, we’ll create a safe, open space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions without judgment. When I’m not in session, you can find me enjoying my favorite music or cheering on my favorite football team, it’s part of how I recharge and stay grounded. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you. Let’s start the conversation toward your well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a strong background in healthcare and clinical settings. I earned my BSW from Shippensburg University and my MSW from Marywood University, and I am also a Certified Social Worker in Healthcare (C-SWHC) through the NASW. My experience includes working in hospitals, supporting individuals and families through death and dying, and providing care related to substance use, recovery, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I strive to offer a compassionate, client-centered space where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered in their healing process.

The journey to wholeness begins with one step. While at times the journey can be difficult, the freedom that can be found on the other side makes it all worth the effort. By choosing to find a therapist you have taken that first step. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling from Loyola University in MD. I have been in practice for close to 20 years now. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ issues, substance use, as well as the general life stressors we all experience in this face-paced, demanding world we live in whether that be work or relationships. I offer individual therapy sessions and am willing to journey with you on your self-defined path to wholeness. I bring a client-centered approach and we will go at the speed you wish to journey.

Hello, I’m Dr. Kim Morgan. I have a Doctorate in Psychology with a Specialization in Addiction. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania. I have over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field, with a career that began working with youth in the juvenile justice system—an area I continue to be passionate about today. In addition to my work in correctional settings, I have provided counseling in outpatient programs and school-based environments, supporting middle and high school students in the community.

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. I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist who helps people take the next steps toward feeling better and living fuller.

Hello! My name is Catherine. I am a mom of 3 and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have worked with children and adolescents for over 10 years and in working with them, i have worked with their families as well. I was previously a clinical supervisor, and I decided it was time to do what I do best, and that is help others through trauma informed care and working on self-worth and rebuilding relationships and attachments. Let's deep dive into your childhood to determine where those negative thoughts started, prove those beliefs are wrong and rebuild your new thought process while learning new coping skills. Let's focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Let's figure out how to get where you want to be i life, together.

I am Corey LaRue, LPC, a seasoned professional of 44 years of age, with a rich tapestry of 13 years dedicated to the field of Behavioral and Mental Health. My academic journey has been wide-ranging, earning two Associate degrees in Religious Studies and General Psychology, three Bachelor degrees spanning Crisis and Christian Counseling, to Life-Coaching, alongside two Master's degrees in Professional Counseling and an MBA with a concentration in Healthcare Administration and Management. As a clinician licensed in both Pennsylvania and Oregon, my ethos in practice is rooted in authenticity, care, and empathy. My extensive professional background encompasses a variety of settings, including School-based services, In-patient and Outpatient care, Mobile Therapy, Alternative Education, Partial Hospitalization programs, Residential treatment, and Teletherapy, allowing me to offer a grounded and practical approach in assisting individuals as they chart the courses of their lives.

I have 32 years of experience providing counseling. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, stressing that what we think determines what we feel and what we do. For many reasons, people learn unrealistic or destructive thoughts that cause them problems in their lives. Therapy works towards more realistic thinking, and avoiding old and destructive thinking. As I like to say, "therapy is a conversation with a destination," and realistic thinking is that destination. While I am a Christian, I am not trained as a Christian Counselor. I am a "Counselor who is a Christian." My training is secular, and I regularly see people or all faiths, or none at all. I do not offer court ordered services, nor do I do assessments for custody, or any other legal purpose. Unfortunately, I cannot accept Medicare, or Medicare based plans. The world is changing, and more and more people are reaching out. I am seeing more men that have been in abusive relationships. There are also more people dealing with loss. Coming to my office is not like going to a big mental health clinic where you just another number on a spreadsheet. In my care, you are a person, and you'll be treated like one.

You may feel weighed down by past experiences or trauma and have a deep desire to heal and move forward. What you want most is peace of mind, hope for the future, and practical tools to cope with life’s challenges. My role is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can begin to heal, discover new ways of coping, and create the lasting change you deserve. I offer a safe, supportive space to be heard and understood while we work together to shift patterns, learn effective tools, and create space for healing and growth. I help children, adolescents, and adults work through trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, offering practical tools and support tailored to your needs. Together, we focus on healing, building resilience, and creating lasting change. Life can feel overwhelming, leaving you unsure of how to cope or move forward. You do not have to navigate this journey alone. Together we can focus on building resilience, finding clarity, and moving toward a life filled with greater balance and possibility.

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.

If you feel stuck in patterns you know aren’t good for you—but can’t seem to break—you’re not alone. Maybe your mind won’t shut off. You overthink everything, question yourself constantly, or find yourself pulled back into the same relationships or habits, even when you know better. It’s exhausting… and frustrating. I help people understand why this happens and, more importantly, how to actually change it. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience working in mental health, including private practice, substance use, and online therapy. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We will identify the patterns keeping you stuck, challenge the beliefs that reinforce them and build tools you can actually use. My goal isn’t just for you to feel better in session—it’s for you to leave with the ability to stay better. Therapy should be active and purposeful. While processing is important, real change happens when you’re willing to step outside your comfort zone and stay accountable to your growth. I’ll support you through that—but I will also challenge you when needed, because that’s where real change happens. If you’re ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start creating lasting change, I'm here to help!

I have worked in the treatment since i was 36 and have 35 years of experience. My early experience was in the drug and alcohol and relapse prevention field. During that time i attended the Gestalt Institute in Cleveland, Ohio where I took 4 years of intense training. This lead me to find that therapy is not a method for me to figure out the client but a means for the client to gain greater self-awareness in facing their own life aspirations and struggles. I place focus on clients’ somatic awareness, especially breath, so being more in their body so they can try on new physical and intellectual styles in facing their world. I have a lot of knowledge about what is called the 12 step process and have melded together spirituality and religion in my own life. Prior to being a counselor/ therapist i taught school, painted steel bridges and other structures, and was a machinist at a large steel company, that like the many in our area have since closed their shops.

I received my master’s degree in counseling in 2011 and have been working as a counselor in higher education since then. I started providing on-line counseling more than 5 years ago and got to perfect that skill over the pandemic. I am the father of three beautiful, intelligent, well adjusted, usually content, sometimes happy, young adults and I hold my job in helping them become good humans as my most valued and important purpose in my existence. I was married to the same woman for twenty-three years, since we were but ourselves emerging adults, and understand that even with friendship, love, and respect this type of partnership has its ebbs and flows; and sometimes relationships are just completed. I understand how difficult the loss of love can be; but also understand that life can be great again after these hardships. I believe in the ability in nature to restore the energy that we constantly give out and always urge people to be outside, to recharge themselves. I am creative and productive and will push my clients to unlock the creative potentials they inside of themselves. I love starting and finishing home improvement projects. I enjoy reading and am passionate about music although I am not musically inclined in the least. I understand that even when we are doing everything "right" and doing the things we love...life can still be difficult. I consider pride myself on the ability to quickly form a therapeutic alliance and maintain positive relationships with my clients to enact the changes they wish to see, get through rough patches, reach goals, or just be "happyish". I am open, honest, friendly, and pretty normal. I will work closely with you to help you solve your own issues as I feel we hold the answers to our own questions.
