Evernorth Therapists in Pennsylvania

Hello there! I'm akia, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) , in the state of Pennsylvania, with over two decades of dedicated experience in social work. My passion lies in fostering deeper understanding and awareness among clients regarding their emotions, thoughts, and actions. I firmly believe in the pivotal role of the client-therapist relationship in laying the groundwork for therapeutic triumphs.

Each person brings a unique set of experiences and challenges. I partner with you to meet you where you are and help you achieve the personal or professional goals that matter most. Whether you’re managing stress and anxiety, feelings of depression, ADHD, or navigating life transitions, I combine empathic listening with practical strategies and a touch of humor to make growth both meaningful and manageable. Many of my clients are ambitious professionals and individuals who are accustomed to striving for excellence while privately carrying stress, self-doubt, or a relentless pressure to do more. I help clients understand and work with their inner rebel, the part that resists rigid expectations, pushes back against perfectionism, and longs for greater autonomy and authenticity. Together, we can harness this part of you as a source of resilience, creativity, and lasting growth rather than viewing it as something to overcome. I’m skilled at helping you identify both clear goals and the strengths you may overlook in yourself. Even when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged, there are always strengths and insights we can build from, and I help bring those into focus. Together, we will clarify goals, strengthen coping skills, and develop strategies that support decision-making, confidence, and emotional balance.

In addition, I have advanced training as a Behavior Specialist in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), allowing me to integrate evidence-based behavioral interventions with a holistic, client-centered therapeutic approach. I provide psychotherapy and behavioral health services for adults (18+) experiencing a variety of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges, including: - Anxiety and depression - Trauma and stress-related concerns - Relationship and marital difficulties - Life transitions and personal growth - Emotional regulation -Obsessive and repetitive behaviors, including Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) such as hair pulling (trichotillomania) and skin picking (excoriation disorder) - Behavioral concerns requiring evidence-based interventions My counseling style is collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based.

Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, seeking healthier relationships, or working toward greater emotional balance, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and resilience.

I value evidence-based treatment! I know approaching mental health can often feel confusing, undefined, and can elicit questions like, "Where do I even begin?" I want to create a roadmap to feeling better. We'll define markers of progress and track your momentum over time. By creating clear indicators for success, we'll have a clear, grounded approach to treatment. Further, it is incredibly important to me that you feel safe and welcomed in-session. I know that treatment can be a very vulnerable process, so your comfort is of the utmost importance. We can move at whatever speed feels best to you. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hello! Welcome to my site, my name is Ryan Brooks Leslie, licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist. I'm glad you found me here. There are few situations in life which are comparable to being in therapy; A helping relationship based on mutual respect, honesty, humility, educated/objective guidance, and genuine connection, in order for you to better navigate this thing we call "life". Being able to say anything, without fear of judgment, reproach, or rejection can allow you to truly face the obstacles that separate you from happiness and freedom; to be the best and most fulfilled version of yourself. I have spent the better part of 18 years educating myself and honing my counseling skills to people in this endeavor, and I must say I love being a therapist and have great confidence in my therapeutic skills and their benefit to you. I am experienced in addictions, trauma (EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, improving social skills, existential life issues and transitions. I have found that it is often a combination of forces within and without of ourselves that create our unique situations that we need help with. While I have many methods to facilitate processing (talking, art therapy, mindfulness, EMDR), I believe that you are the expert of your unique story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the challenges of your life. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I commend you for your effort and I am here to support, empower and be a fellow traveler on your journey. "The most powerful thing in the world, is an idea whose time has come"- Victor Hugo

Living life, relating to others, adapting to changing circumstances in a changing world, understanding our needs and desires, communicating those needs and desires to others: these are undertakings that require a degree of self-awareness, self-understanding, and insight into what drives us. It is my hope that I can be of some assistance in your process of self-discovery and self-acceptance. When meeting with me, you will receive friendly, compassionate, and non-judgmental support as you do the work of self-exploration, self-reflection, and reintegration of dissociated or fragmented parts of yourself and/or your experiences so that you may undergo a healing process. You will also receive practical suggestions of ways to cope with difficult emotions as they arise throughout the process. I endeavor to create a safe, sacred space for these experiences to occur as well as to ask questions, provide perspective, and make suggestions at times to encourage action or change.

I draw from evidence‑based practices, but just as importantly, I bring compassion, curiosity, and respect for your unique story. Whether you’re working on managing emotions, improving focus, building confidence, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to support you every step of the way. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more capable, and more connected to the life you want to live.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Tammy, and I am both a Licensed Addictions Therapist and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I specialize in substance abuse, food addiction, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of co-occurring mental health disorders. I’m truly glad you’re here, and I look forward to speaking with you. To begin, we’ll start with an assessment so I can get a clear understanding of your background, your challenges, and what you’re hoping to work on. I’ll ask you a series of questions, and you are welcome to share only what you feel comfortable sharing—there is no pressure at any point. Whenever you’re ready, we can begin the assessment.

I help women claim their voice and break free from the cycle of narcissistic relationships. My clients learn how to thrive in the face of narcissistic relationships from past and present. We're a good fit if you're ready to break free from those repetitive, disempowering relationship patterns that make you feel disconnected and alone. I see you - stuck in patterns of self-doubt and perfectionism, feeling stifled, held back and burdened, disconnected from joy and flow and ease.  You're exhausted from never feeling good enough, and tired of relying on numbing out, quick fixes that only bring you temporary relief. You want a joyful, juicy, creative life—doing what you love while making a massive impact in the world. You want your voice to be heard, and to be your powerful, Authentic Self in every area of your life. You're here to fulfill a Big Vision. You want high level conscious relationship and communication at home and at work. You’re ready to shed self-doubt and feel truly worthy. Your journey is my journey. I'm a recovering perfectionist and burned out healer. I’ve deeply struggled with being highly sensitive, holding back from expressing myself, and longing to be heard, understood, and valued because of my wounds from relationships with narcissists. I also have a BIG Vision, and I’m fierce about reclaiming my power. I’m the QUEEN of alchemizing any challenge into GOLD. For 25 years I’ve been supporting ambitious, visionary women to break through their glass ceiling.  In our work together, my clients finally feel safe. They trust themselves. They stop numbing and disconnecting. They play more, have more fun, and make more money. They make massive impact with joy and ease. All while being happier in the workplace and finally having the depth in their personal relationships they've been longing for.

I work with women navigating life transitions, including changes in relationships, family roles, and health. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact. As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for over 25 years, mindfulness is a natural part of my work and informs how I understand and approach the mind body connection. I integrate mindfulness based stress reduction, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy into sessions in a way that supports awareness and emotional regulation. My training as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, Florida, South Carolina and Delaware allows me to bring these approaches together in a way that is both clinically grounded and also responsive to your experience.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey, and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. My approach is client-centered and integrative. I believe in empowering individuals to make positive changes and lead fulfilling lives. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and achieve their goals.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to look at my page! Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. So, my hope is that I can do my part to help you to feel comfortable...remove some of the awkwardness from the process...and ideally, have you feeling motivated and excited about starting your therapeutic journey! A little bit about me and how I approach the therapeutic process... Without question, one of the comments I hear most from clients is that they're always surprised by how much they actually ENJOY our sessions —even when working through some of their most difficult challenges. I jokingly tell people that my "superpower" is that I'm really good at making therapy feel like a great conversation between two people - and one of those people just HAPPENS to be a therapist who helps you work through the things that are keeping you stuck. Therapy should make you feel as though you are getting something out of this...and that you are growing, healing - and thriving - because of it. I've been fortunate to be able to help people from all walks of life and what I have learned is that regardless of background, culture, socioeconomic status, or life circumstances, people want many of the same things—meaningful relationships, resilience through life's challenges, and a sense of purpose/fulfillment. So, whether you're facing personal challenges, professional pressures, or both, my goal is to help you get on the path where you can finally feel like you not only have a handle on this thing called Life - but that you are THRIVING in it!

Welcome! I'm Damaris, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping older adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and hope. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I provide a warm, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental space where I enjoy getting to know your unique story, building on your strengths, and helping you develop practical skills to create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

The best pitch for therapy is simple, “do you have bad feelings or uncomfortable thoughts that you want to talk to someone about?” My name is Ed Lessard, and that’s what I am best at. I talk to people about their most distressing and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, listen actively, without judgment, and respond with empathy, advanced education in mental and public health, and evidenced based treatments for specific issues like depression, interpersonal conflict and trauma. Like many therapists, I started as a patient, no better or worse than the people who come to see me for help. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify, understand and cope with the problems they are facing and define their own versions of success and happiness.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or like you're carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin moving toward the life you want. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, recovery, therapy can provide a place to better understand what you're experiencing, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and overcome hurdles. Here you'll have space to be honest without fear of judgment while also learning practical skills you can use outside of therapy. I believe the most meaningful progress happens not only during our sessions, but in the small moments between them as you begin applying what you've learned in your everyday life. Most importantly, you don't have to show up as your “perfect” self. Come as you are—whether you're hopeful, skeptical, anxious, or simply unsure where to begin. This is a down-to-earth space where you can be yourself, and together we'll work toward helping you feel more confident, resilient, and like yourself again!

I believe you are the ultimate expert on your own life. As a person-centered, solution-focused therapist, my role isn't to give you the answers. Instead, I partner with you to identify your unique goals, uncover your hidden strengths, and build actionable solutions that create lasting, positive change I hi. Most clients that join a session find me warm, nurturing and accepting while teaching you new skills of coping with the challenges of life. Mindfulness is an integral part of the strategies of being present and working through life stressors, anxiety and worry of overthinking and intrusive thoughts.
