Therapists in Pennsylvania

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.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and I have been practicing for nine years. I received my master's degree from Gannon University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am passionate about helping women, adolescents, and families find light in dark times in their lives and becoming the best version of their selves.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with over 20 years of experience specializing in co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. My background includes private practice, forensic evaluation, and leadership of a state-licensed treatment program. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, anger issues, life transitions, and mens issues I believe effective therapy requires both insight and action. Clients who work with me can expect a collaborative but focused process, where we identify patterns, clarify goals, and implement concrete steps toward improved functioning and long-term stability.

Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out alone. I bring a warm, open, and deeply caring presence to our sessions, ensuring you feel completely safe and heard from day one. With nine years of experience as a mental health therapist, I specialize in translating your insights into real, actionable growth. Steering the complexities of adulthood can feel very challenging, especially when constantly battling anxiety, depression, or the executive function of ADHD. My therapeutic style is solution-based, meaning we won't just talk about problems; we will actively collaborate to build practical tools, shift stuck mindsets, and create the positive changes you want to see in your daily life. Let's work together to unlock your strengths and move you forward.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PA & WV) with 10 years of experience in outpatient mental health. I specialize in supporting individuals — both adolescents and adults — navigating the aftermath of trauma, loss, adoption/foster care challenges, grief, anxiety, and depression. With children and teens, I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF‑CBT), integrating trauma‑informed strategies tailored to younger clients. With adults, I use trauma-informed interventions alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), adapting my approach to each person’s unique story, strengths, and pace. Being adopted myself has deeply shaped my passion for adoption and foster care work — not just as a professional interest, but from lived experience. I understand the layers of identity, connection, loss, and belonging that come with these journeys, and I bring that insight to my practice with empathy and sensitivity. I also maintain ongoing training in areas such as grief work, anxiety, depression, and relational dynamics to ensure I’m bringing current practices to our work.

I have been working in the field of counseling since 2007. Specialties include: Teenagers and young adults with anxiety, depression, borderline personalities, and LGBTQ+.

I have worked in the field of drug and alcohol, private practice, school settings doing wrap-around, and inpatient settings. In my downtime, I enjoy coaching soccer and reffing, along with many other sports, with my 7 kids and 2 grandbabies.

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.

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.

You’re the one everyone depends on — the one who keeps showing up, pushing through, and holding everything together for everyone else. But underneath it all, you may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you spend so much time caring for others that your own needs have been pushed to the side. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you do not have to carry it all by yourself anymore. Welcome, I’m Sharmane Jackson, a therapist based in Pennsylvania, and I’m truly glad you’re here. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. Therapy with me is about helping you feel heard, supported, and empowered while working toward meaningful change.

My approach is compassionate, human-centered, and culturally responsive, blending emotional support with practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced in your daily life. Together, we may explore patterns that leave you feeling stuck, strengthen coping skills and boundaries, process difficult emotions, and create more space for your own needs without guilt. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healthier relationships, or simply a place where you no longer have to carry everything alone, therapy can be the beginning of feeling like yourself again.

With a background spanning children, teens, and adults across individual, group, and family settings, I bring a direct, honest approach I call caring confrontation: pointing to what is not serving you, then working with you on what comes next. We all have these things to look at. I am no exception. If that sounds like what you need, I would love to connect.

Hi! My name is Sarah Silverman, I have been working in the field of mental health for over eight years. I have experience working in a variety of settings, but getting to work individually with clients in outpatient therapy is my absolute favorite. I am often described as having a calming and empathetic personality. In my spare time, I love spending time with friends, cuddling my two orange cats, trying out a new delicious food, reading, or playing video games.

Hi! Welcome to Taking The Reins LLC! I’m Ciera a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore, heal, and grow. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices with compassion and collaboration, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. I believe therapy is a partnership, and my goal is to empower you with tools and insights that foster resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change. Whether you’re managing day-to-day stress, healing from past experiences, or seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you in the process. ***Note: I currently accept sliding scale payment as an option.

My work is rooted in trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel safe, seen, and empowered to reclaim their stories. I draw from narrative, attachment-based, and experiential approaches to support clients in understanding patterns, processing difficult experiences, and building more secure, fulfilling relationships. My style is collaborative, holistic, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s resilience, identity, and capacity for growth.

In our first few sessions, we'll take time to understand what's brought you to therapy and what your're hoping will feel different. From there, I'll share tools you can practice between sessions, but we'll always move at a pace that feels right to you. I work especially well with clients who are ready to show up and do the work. If you're looking for a therapist who brings warmth, humor, and a genuine investment in your growth, I'd love to be part of your journey.

My name is Kate and I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and Delaware. I have been in the counseling field for over ten years treating multiple different disorders through different modalities. I believe that every person is a unique individual therefore not every approach will work with everyone. I approach therapy through a nonjudgmental way of being. I meet you where you are and together we discuss ways to cope with difficult situations in life. Life can be difficult and therapy not only helps to manage any struggles but also an opportunity for you to become the best version of yourself you can be.

You don’t need to face the challenges of life alone. My goal is to help you embrace your unique strengths and find a balance in all facets of your life. As a licensed professional counselor, I have helped individuals work through a variety of experiences (grief, trauma, life transitions, improved emotional regulation and coping, and more). I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe place to help them become the best version of themselves.
