As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my practice is rooted in a compassionate, strength-based, and goal-focused approach. For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with many diverse populations while helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through many of life's challenges. My expertise lies in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. My journey as a therapist has been guided by a commitment to understanding each client's unique experiences and strengths.

My goal-focused approach ensures that therapy is structured and purposeful, with clear objectives and measurable outcomes. Throughout my career, I have continually sought to expand my knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care. I integrate evidence-based practices and tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet each client's specific needs. Whether working with someone struggling with the complexities of ADHD, the overwhelming nature of anxiety, the grip of addiction, the deep wounds of trauma, or the heaviness of depression, my approach remains consistent: compassionate, client-centered, and dedicated to fostering resilience and healing.

Hi! I'm Danielle and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters Bryn Mawr College of Social Work and have been practicing for 5 years.

In the evenings, I enjoy counseling women with various presenting issues who want to lead a happy and healthy life but need some help getting there.

Welcome! I’m Bridget (she/her/hers). I am a licensed psychotherapist and nationally certified counselor living in Abington, PA. I specialize in working in perinatal health and wellness. This means I am certified and trained in working with those experiencing infertility, miscarriage, IVF, pregnancy, and the postpartum period. I am passionate about supporting individuals and families during the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. My mission is to provide compassionate, evidence based care to those navigating the challenges and joys of the perinatal period and beyond.

Hi, I’m Abby. Do you struggle to focus and stay organized or have intrusive thoughts that lead to sadness, anger, or constant worry? I help children, adolescents, and young adult college students learn to manage anxiety and depression as well as take control of focus and organization.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and creative therapies to help you achieve your goals. I can’t wait to partner with you on this journey!

I have an LPC and an LMFT and have been seeing clients since 1996. I have extensive training in helping people who are going through or have experienced narcissistic abuse and any form of childhood trauma, this includes verbal and emotional abuse, family addictions, or any early childhood experience that would cause one to feel unsafe. I am also experienced in the treatment of anxiety, worry and mood concerns and work with addictions, obsessive compulsive behaviors and any poor coping skills or core beliefs that were developed in order to manage these stressors. I use practices primarily focused on somatic and cognitive therapy but also utilize acceptance commitment therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness and am solution focused. I use homework and assignments aimed at regulating the nervous system in order to repair the fight/flight/freeze response that is often stuck on due to a continuous history of a variety of life stressors (trauma). This trapped and stored trauma continues to trigger the nervous system to respond in ways where we continue to feel unsafe, even after the threats have passed. By working with the nervous system to release this trapped trauma and find safety, we can then have the opportunity to respond to the world differently.

I love what I do as a Licensed Clinical Therapist. 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.

Healing starts here: therapy for a better you.

Welcome! As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, I bring a wealth of experience and compassion to my practice. With a Master's degree from Temple University and four years in the field, I specialize in assisting individuals across all age groups – children, adolescents, and adults – as they navigate trauma, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and challenges with emotional regulation. My mission is to support my clients in their journey toward self-discovery, resilience, and personal growth, empowering them to embody the best versions of themselves.

Seeking counseling can be a overwhelming and anxiety producing experience beyond "the why" of what brought you here. Building a relationship of trust to be vulnerable with a complete stranger is one of the hardest things we can do as humans. Chronic stress from past experiences and intergenerational trauma/stress are often hidden or very present parts of ourselves often creating a tangled web of connection within and attachments with others. In partnership with my clients, I assist them in emerging from within themselves with an increased positive connections, self image, self forgiveness, and a focus on their life goals. When we work together the aim is to assist you in finding balance, clarity and focus for your life goals through a lens of healing.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) through the state of Pennsylvania, I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in Pennsylvania.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pennsylvania. I have graduated from Millersville University School of Social Work with both my BSW and MSW. I have also received high honors from Phi Alpha for my study in the social work field. I have over 18 years of experience working in the social work field. I began serving individuals, families, children, and adolescents in 2006 while working in the behavioral health field, wraparound (IBHS), and clinical outpatient therapy. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I). I am also trained in EMDR trauma therapy.

I have 31 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.

As a trans individual and member of the LGBTQ+ community, my ideal client is anyone who is looking for a non-judgemental, safe space to be themselves. I believe we thrive when we experience belonging acceptance. I came to this profession with the mission to connect the gap between LGBTQ+ persons who are interested in counseling and mental health professionals who can affirm their identity.

Sometimes, life gets a bit overwhelming and we lose sight of our path. Occasionally, our path becomes clouded with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, eating disorders, trauma, etc. While walking our path through life, therapy can provide a nonjudgmental space to vent, problem-solve, and seek coping tools. I would like to be that person for you. We will work together to set attainable goals and learn coping skills to help us on our journey through life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor utilizing a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy and person-centered practices, among others. I assist a wide range of ages, from adults to teens. The main emphasis is finding solutions to better regulate their emotions, language, belief systems, and perceptions of life challenges.

If you are overwhelmed, lost and feeling down, I would like to talk to you about how therapy can benefit you. I use a person-centered, empowerment-focused approach. I believe everyone has strengths and potential to emerge on the other side, given unconditional positive regard. I strive to create a radically safe space in which clients feel seen, heard and validated. My goal to collaborate with you to explore what safe space looks like or means to you in today's world. I meet where the client is, and together we appreciate their needs and know that their needs and feelings do matter. I do require weekly appointment for new clients for 1-2 months depending on the severity of presenting problems. It is difficult to build therapeutic rapport, complete assessments without meeting weekly at least for a month. We may discuss biweekly sessions, and new clients would benefit most from weekly, long-term therapy services in my practice. I specialize in complex PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and women's issues. I practice culturally responsive treatment, and intersectionality guides my practice. I am certified in DBT and tailor treatment based on the client's unique presenting concerns and needs, drawing from CBT, DBT, coaching techniques, Solution Focused Approach, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family System and body-based approach. I am currently available on the Zoom Pro platform only. I do not work with court-mandated cases, or custody cases involving law.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I earned bachelors in Psychology from Millersville University and went on to earn my Masters degree from New York University in Social Work. I have been practicing in various therapeutic settings for 7 years since then. I have successfully worked with various age ranges and demographics of clients and I specialize in working with youth and young adults (14-25 y/o). I have a passion for self development and helping folks reach their highest potential!

I have worked at the intersection of mental health and chronic illness for the past 12 years by providing support and therapy. I work closely with people who are dealing with a variety of challenges like depression, anxiety, or who are struggling with chronic health conditions. I graduated UPENN in 2009 with my Masters of Social Work. When not working I might be found hiking with my dog, hanging out with friends and family, playing board games, or making homemade ice cream.

I am a therapist that has always been someone that easily connects and empathizes with everyone, especially clients, and it has helped me to build deep and meaningful relationships with the clients I have served. My goal as a therapist is not only to help you work on any issues you are facing and coming into therapy with, but also help you to build yourself up into who you want to be, regardless of how that is. I want you as a person, to be happy with yourself and find balance in your life.

Hi, I’m moudy. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pittsburgh, PA. I have a M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I have been practicing post-graduation for 3 years. I am here to help adults who struggle to find peace and contentment in their lives due to a variety of stresses, symptoms, and crises. Together we can explore your story with the utmost care and respect to uncover the life you want to live and the person you want to be.

I work with individuals over 13, but specialize in helping teenagers, young adults, athletes, women and those who have experienced trauma. I use a holistic approach to treat mental, physical and spiritual health, believing that all must function well to achieve happiness. I encourage clients to make positive changes, avoid destructive behaviors, and make their own decisions. Improving self-confidence and fostering meaningful connections are essential for everyone. For those dealing with trauma, I use a technique called Brainspotting to identify, process, and release physical and emotional distress associated with traumatic experiences. The objective is to access deeper emotional parts of the brain by bypassing conscious thinking and heal underlying trauma that contributes to conditions like anxiety and depression. My passion also lies in sports where I use over 20 years of coaching experience to enhance mental performance in athletes. For athletes, attitude, emotions, and perspective are just as crucial as physical training. My goal is to help athletes improve their confidence, focus, and mental resilience, so they can overcome perfectionism and performance anxiety.

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.

Our relationship is collaborative and supportive. I encourage you to be an active participant in understanding yourself better from the inside out, your triggers, strengths, and past successes; to develop and strengthen your inner resources; I am creative in my thinking, and encourage you to consider the same: reading books, creating affirmations, drawing, etc.. Patience is required (of which I have much), while I serve as a container for unpacking and exploring your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and life experiences which are interfering with your growth. I do not choose your goals or make decisions for you as I cannot live your life for you. When I am not working, I enjoy knitting. "We do not harvest our inner crop on the same day we plant the seed"
