Evernorth Therapists in Pennsylvania

Hello! I am Christina. I'm a LCSW dedicated to providing a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can explore life’s challenges and work toward meaningful growth. 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, anxiety, or the complexities of life through substance use recovery, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. 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 trained in Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to help process and heal from past experiences that may be impacting your present to help you build practical coping tools while honoring your unique story and strengths.

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.

"Unconditional positive regard with a side of personal responsibility." These two concepts are driving force in the work, I get the privilege to do with individuals who chose to allow me to join their journey. My first charge is to always create a safe space to say the hard things out loud, secondly its to charge the individual to define how they wish their life to look--that's the building block for creating change. This process can be messy, a bit scary, sometimes exhilarating and hopefully fulfilling. I have been working with individuals, couples and families at different changes of transitions for over 18 years varying from dealing with addictions to understanding the impacts of mental health. Each person is unique and deserves a safe space to share, be challenge and get constructive feedback to grow.

Hello!

I obtained my LCSW in 2025; however, I've been in the social work field since 2006.

Hi, I'm Michael, and I'm here to help. The therapeutic alliance is the greatest predictor of therapeutic outcomes and my main focus is cultivating that relationship. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based. Sessions with me include; (1) exploring the historical roots of your struggles, (2) identifying their contribution toward your current functional impairment, and (3) implementing practical strategies toward future success. Using a combination of DBT, CBT, Existential Therapy, Systems Theory, and Relational Life Therapy, we'll align your values and purpose so that you feel fulfilled.

My goal is to establish authentic connection quickly, while providing collaborative and emotional support to identify practical strategies for the moment you're in.

Hi! Welcome :) I'm Meghan; A Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor. My hope is to uplift and empower my clients - who are individuals who feel called to do the deep and meaningful work it takes to realize their unique inner power and innate ability to heal. I take a somatic and embodied approach to therapy; meaning I truly lean into curiosity surrounding what messages the body is sending and holding in the present moment. If you’re feeling disconnected from yourself, feel like your emotions are controlling you, going through a time of transition, coping with depression, anxiety, trauma- or just want to feel more in control of your life/more in alignment with your true self: welcome to your journey back to yourself. I can support you in (re)connecting with your most authentic self, and feeling more in tune with yourself and your body. Clients have described me as authentic, warm, and empowering. I take a non-pathologizing approach to working with your experiences and feelings, as being human is not easy and you deserve to be seen in an understanding lens. Let's get unstuck and move through it together.

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 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 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.

Imagine leaving a session feeling like you finally lifted what you'd been carrying. That's what I want for you here. What would we have talked about? Maybe you want more for yourself and something keeps getting in the way. The weight of sadness or loss feels heavier lately. Or that anxious, overwhelmed feeling is keeping you stuck. As a licensed therapist with 27 years of experience, I want to hear your story, and I am so glad you are here. I am also a parent, spouse, family member, friend, coworker and have experienced similar challenges and existential questions. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, or you just want desperately for something to change, let's work on this together. What do you want your life to look and feel like 6 months or a year from now? Let's be creative and get started. Evening appointments also available.

Perhaps you struggle with depression or anxiety and are overwhelmed trying to manage the stress of daily living. You may find yourself resorting to substance use or other compulsive behaviors as a form of coping with daily stressors. You are committed to change and have tried to change, but lack the deeper awareness of what is driving the behaviors. It can be disheartening to acknowledge the unwanted impact on your life and on your valued relationships. My guiding principle as a therapist comes in the form of a question: what’s it like being you? My therapeutic skills involve exploring the way you view yourself, your relationships, and the way you interpret your lived experience. I draw from CBT, attachment theory, exploration of existential issues, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed therapy. My goal is to facilitate meaningful, helpful, and transformative conversations that revolve around understanding you and helping you develop the useful tools for change. I will guide our sessions with this in mind as we work together, allowing you and helping you feel understood in specific ways that promote change.

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.
