As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified Trauma and ADHD specialist with extensive experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My journey in social work began at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, and has led me to operate a private practice in Montgomery and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania. I offer my services throughout the state via telehealth, providing compassionate care and utilizing evidence-based therapeutic tools to help individuals overcome fear and anxiety.

This environment is designed to foster a new mindset, enhance self-esteem, and cultivate a new mindset that promotes joy and positivity.

I invite each client into the therapeutic process as a collaborative partner. Together, we create a plan tailored to meet your unique needs. This active engagement in the therapeutic process empowers you, fostering forward movement and helping you to achieve lasting growth and transformative change.

Hi, I’m Chrissy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, veterans, and first responders. I work with a diverse range of clients, including adults, caregivers, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, and have dedicated much of my career to serving those who have experienced high levels of stress and trauma in both personal and professional settings. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I specialize in treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), interpersonal therapy, and couples counseling. Having worked closely with veterans and first responders throughout my career, I understand the unique challenges they face—including PTSD, moral injury, burnout, and the impact of service on personal relationships. Whether you're navigating a life transition, coping with loss, or seeking to strengthen your relationships, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. It’s a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.

My name is Ronide Louis, and I am the founder and clinician behind Phoenix Rise Counseling Services. My work is grounded in the belief that growth begins when individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Phoenix Rise offers counseling in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Together, we focus on building insight, developing practical coping strategies, and reconnecting with inner resilience through a collaborative, trauma-informed, and personalized approach that honors each individual’s unique story.

I’m Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy works best when clients feel truly seen, understood, and comfortable being themselves. My approach is engaged, proactive, and relational. Together, we’ll do meaningful work to process emotions, build insight, and create lasting change, while also making room for humor, connection, and the moments of lightness that can support healing along the way. I have 13 years of experience in social work, including child welfare and trauma-focused work, which has shaped me into a grounded, direct therapist focused on helping clients feel supported while creating real change. I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression, especially when past experiences feel unresolved or continue to show up in the present.

Integrating clinical expertise with Christian values, I strive to support emotional healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe true healing occurs when mind, body, and spirit are nurtured together. My work focuses on helping clients manage stress, regulate emotions and move forward with hope, faith, and intention while honoring each individual's unique journey. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida and my graduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Throughout my career, I have served diverse populations, including children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults.

My name is Cleonese Dasent-Green and I am the sole proprietor of Poinciana Therapy LLC. I hold Licenses as a LCSW With advanced degrees in Clinical Social Work in NY, NJ & PA. I have Graduate Certificate in Thanatology, a Play Therapy Certificate and over 15 years of experience in therapy, social work, and medical social services. I also received my Masters degree from Fordham University in NYC.

I’m a therapist who works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, and life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and high-functioning, yet find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking, emotional overwhelm, or patterns in relationships that don’t feel fulfilling. You may understand why you do what you do, but still feel unsure how to change it. In our work together, I focus on helping you connect the dots between your past experiences, current patterns, and the goals you have for your life. Through a collaborative and supportive process, we build both insight and practical tools so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control. Over time, this work often leads to healthier relationships, improved emotional balance, and a stronger sense of self.

I am Jeff, like it says on this page. I love games of all kinds and dogs of all kinds. I sit crosslegged on chairs when I can and enjoy kneading dough for baking. I'm verbose and use words as if they were legos. I have worked in hospitals, community mental health centers, a retirement home and now I am content to be in private practice. I have experience with crises, sudden life transitions and choices that seem impossible to come back from. I'm familiar with being awkward and have experience being the outcast. I became a therapist because there were many times earlier in my life where I needed support and guidance from someone who could understand me without being judgmental or controlling. Being a strange enough person already, I never quite found someone empathetic towards my situation until meeting my first therapist - a literally life changing experience. Even with almost 10 years as a therapist, I'm certainly not claiming that I'll change your life as a guarantee just because of who I am - a therapist helped me see that so much change came about by my own efforts over the years, change that you can also be empowered to pursue. I am the sort of person that will work in your interest, work for your health when it feels like illness gets in the way. If you happen to be someone or know someone that often puts others before themselves at the expense of wants and needs for themselves, then you may know me pretty well already. Transparently, I am not using AI in any form to write anything you read here about myself or my methods.

I am a trauma therapist specializing in hypnotherapy and mind-body-spirit methods to treat core injuries and support people in their healing and recovery. I have been a social worker since 2015 and a therapist since 2019. I believe in social justice and healing for the entire planet. We are all responsible for the world we are in and that starts with self responsibility. That is why I am dedicated to the practice of healing both as a therapist and also personally.

Hola! I Bienvenido/Welcome to my practice. I am honored to support you on your healing journey. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), fluent in both English and Spanish, with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University and a Bachelor of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the Catholic University of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. As a Latina therapist, I am committed to creating a space that feels culturally responsive and safe. In our sessions I bring a mix of warmth and honesty, paired with evidenced-based approaches all through trauma-informed lens. I am a therapist who believes healing happens when the mind, the soul and body are integrated. My work is grounded in lived experience, extensive clinical training. I worked with kids, teenagers, adults, couples and families in diverse settings such as Outpatient Mental Health Clinics, Dual Drug and Alcohol, and School Based Partial Programs. I have extensive trainings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Based Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic practices, Spirituality, ACT, Psychodynamic, Person Centered and Integrative/Eclectic. My style is warm, collaborative, and real. My practice is grounded in holistic care, including respect, and service into my therapeutic approach. I believe the therapy relationship matters, and I show up as myself in sessions. Therapy with me is not about fixing you. You were never broken. It’s about helping you feel safe enough to be fully yourself. Together, we will work on building tools that honor your story while fostering the growth you deserve. Outside of therapy, I love being in nature, hiking, working out, and travelling to new places. In addition to this, rooted in my Caribbean heritage, I enjoy the beach, ocean views, sunsets and sunrises.

Greetings! My name is Cheryl D. Nelson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), in the state of Pennsylvania. My clinical background is in Community Mental Health. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children for over 10 years in school, home and outpatient settings; both virtually and in-person. I have experience working with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, loss trauma and relationship issues. I have a wonderful husband and am the proud mother of 2 awesome adult children! My hobbies include reading, cooking and doing brain-game puzzles. My television tastes include documentaries, true crime stories and select reality television.

A few moments to introduce myself. Professionally I am known as I. Barry Bell, Ph.D. I am a 73-year-old, male, Caucasian Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for 39 years. I have worked in a variety of settings, in both in-patient psychiatric hospitals and out-patient clinical settings. I have also maintained my own private practice from September 2016 to the present. Prior to receiving my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1985, I trained extensively as a Modern Dancer for 10 years. During these years I became deeply involved in emerging positive psychologies and Eastern/Buddhist/Taoist studies. This was the beginning of the interface between what is now referred to as Mindfulness based approaches to psychotherapy and Eastern philosophies, especially Buddhist. Mindfulness approaches to psychotherapy are now at the forefront of evidence-based interventions. I have spent more than the past 20 years studying and practicing the interface between psychotherapy and personal psychological growth. Over the years I have integrated various theoretical approaches, including depth psychodynamic theories. I will be happy to discuss my approach with you further should you choose to contact me to consider engaging in psychotherapeutic work with me.

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical. My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you. I have experience working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses. In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships. When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Therapy is about connecting with and formulating a safe relationship to explore and address your concerns through the therapeutic process; empowering you to achieve your goals of becoming happier and fulfilled in your relationships, life, and yourself. I want to assist you with achieving whatever solutions and/or life changes you are looking for in a safe and open environment. I use an eclectic approach working from multiple modalities that best fit the client's goals, needs, and experiences. I have experience working with young adults, and adults with varying diagnoses. I specialize in the treatment of anger, anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, self-esteem building, and stress management. As a therapist, my goal is to help to grow your personal strengths throughout the therapeutic process. In a non-judgmental environment, we will work together to build on your strengths and begin to understand the meaning of your distressing symptoms which will ultimately lead to growth and a positive transformation.

Are you struggling? I'm here to help you through the difficult times. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based out of Pennsylvania. I received a Bachelor's Degree from Penn State University and two Master's from Grand Canyon University. I have over 10 years experience working with Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety and Depression. I retired from the Army Reserves and I am a combat veteran. I help clients achieve their goals and be the best person they can be!

My schedule is flexible so if I don't have an open time slot that you prefer, let me know and we can work it out.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience supporting both young and older adults on their mental health journeys. I earned my Master’s degree from the University of Tennessee and am licensed to practice in Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Kansas. I’m passionate about helping clients break unhelpful cycles, manage mood changes, set healthy boundaries, and improve their overall sense of well-being. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible when you feel supported, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build insight, and develop practical tools to navigate life with greater confidence and balance. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to invest in your mental health, I’m honored to walk alongside you in the process.

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!

I integrate clinical expertise with creativity to support clients in developing personalized coping strategies and designing the life they want to live.

I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. I provide a collaborative space where we can explore life's challenges, and reconnect to a sense of purpose. I work with adults of all ages and have a special interest in supporting older adults, as well as people experiencing life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, or spiritual concerns. For clients who desire it, I integrate spirituality and the Christian faith into the therapeutic process in ways that are meaningful and respectful of each person's faith. In addition to being a therapist, I am also an ordained minister who works with people of various faiths. As a member of the LGBTQ community, I am committed to providing an affirming environment for LGBTQ individuals. I recognize that navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, and faith can be complex. I strive to create a space where every person feels respected, valued, and empowered to live authentically. My approach focuses on the whole person—mind, body, emotions, relationships, and spirit. I use emotional freedom technique and mindfulness based therapy. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I’m Cindy, a psychotherapist who believes that meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves. I work with individuals struggling with addiction and its impact on loved ones, depression, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and those navigating life’s transitions or searching for a greater sense of meaning and purpose. Sometimes we repeat patterns that no longer serve us, carrying negative beliefs about ourselves without fully understanding where they came from. Together, we can explore those patterns, uncover their origins, and begin to see ourselves and our lives differently. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I believe that feeling safe enough to be honest about who we are, including the parts we’d rather hide, is essential to healing. You don’t have to have everything figured out or know where to begin. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, recovering from painful experiences, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, discover new possibilities, and build a life you no longer feel the need to escape from.

Hi, I'm Trish Pierzga, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 6+ years of experience. I know that life can be challenging and difficult. I also know that it is easy to feel stuck. My goal for each session is help you feel comfortable so you can explore and move past those challenges. When I think about what I look for in a therapist myself, it is someone who listens, is not afraid to challenge me, and helps guide me through life's transitions. I believe I bring this style to my own clients. I love what I do and I bring this excitement into my sessions because I want people to feel safe and grow in their confidence to overcome the obstacles they are facing.

Welcome! I'm Tiffany Newkirk. I applaud you taking the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care.

Hi, I’m Erica, 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. My approach combines evidence based tools with curiosity, compassion, humor, and a genuine interest in understanding what makes you, well, you. I work with people who want to understand themselves better, break patterns that are no longer serving them, work through difficult experiences, or simply feel a little more comfortable in their own lives. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest. You don’t have to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or come in with everything figured out. You can show up messy, overwhelmed, frustrated, guarded, or completely unsure of where to start. We can figure it out together. As someone who lives with a disability, I also know that resilience is a word that gets thrown around pretty casually. I understand what it means to build a life around limitations you didn’t choose while still wanting a life that feels full, meaningful, and genuinely yours. I bring that lived experience into my work, not because I think it means I understand everyone’s experience, but because I know what it feels like to keep going when things are heavy. At the end of the day, I’m a therapist, but I’m also a real person. I won’t pretend to have all the answers or expect you to have yours. My job is to meet you where you are, help you understand what’s happening underneath the surface, and give you some tools to make things feel a little more manageable.

My name is Michael Ermalinski, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. I hold an M.S. from St. Joseph’s University and a B.A. from New York University, supported by extensive post-graduate work in clinical psychology.

Hello. My name is John Petkac and I have been providing psychotherapy services for over 29 years. In addition to clinical psychology, I have background and education in music education, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My background and life experience gives me an ability to see a larger picture of situations in life and offer unique resolutions to things that may be occuring. I am a strong believer in the individual's ability to address and resolve their own issues. Through the process of therapy, we will explore what has been working for you and what has not. It is my belief and practice to treat the person, not the symptoms or the problem. We will work on building and adding to the skills you already possess to help you to build a more fulfilling life. An integral part of this process is assisting you in an increased understanding and awareness of yourself. Personal growth involves seeing and making informed choices. Therein lies the importance of self-awareness - there is no choice where there is no awareness. Raising a level of self-awareness increases your ability to have and make choices. Through exploration of these factors and possibly more, we will work toward a resolution that works for you and one that allows you to live a fuller and happier life.

Welcome! My name is Gregg and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience working in the mental health field. I've worked with different kinds of people in a lot of different contexts and each new client I meet brings a fresh approach and opportunity to learn something new. I am curious and empathetic by nature with a genuine interest in understanding people, what motivates them, and what they need to live a meaningful life. I honor the mystery of therapy and unexpected insights that can emerge through that process while balancing that with a pragmatic focus on what will be helpful in your daily life. I find fulfillment in helping people understand themselves more deeply, navigate what they are facing, and assist them in meaningful change in their lives.
