Therapists in Pennsylvania

Welcome! My name is Renee Cavalier. I have been in practice for 19 years; 14 in private practice. In addition, I have experience in community mental health, behavioral health rehabilitative services (restructured as IBHS), and university/research settings. I am also a licensed attorney; however, my sole focus is on psychotherapy. I genuinely enjoy the practice of psychotherapy, and I have great respect for the clients I serve and the process in which they engage. I look forward to meeting with you!

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pennsylvania. I received my Masters from California University of PA in 2010 and have been practicing for 14 years. I help women struggling through infertility, loss, reproductive trauma, grief, and anxiety. I hold the strong belief that people are perfectly imperfect and believe that each individual is beautiful and spectacular but can also become stuck, unhappy and unable to live a fulfilling life. That’s where therapy with me comes in. My experience allows me to understand the best ways to address each client’s needs in an effective manner. I am flexible in my approach and use collaboration as the basis of therapy. I have worked with a diverse population of individuals and have experience in treating an array of diagnoses, including PTSD, Loss/Miscarriage and Postpartum Issues, Depression, OCD, Life Transitions, and Anxiety. I work with clients from a strength-based, positive, and affirming perspective to assist clients in learning the skills necessary to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship issues/family concerns, sexual trauma, unresolved emotional issues, grief and loss, self-esteem/self-empowerment issues, and more. I utilize a blend of Dialectal Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy while also incorporating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These advanced methods promote healing and desired change in a unique, gentle, and respectful manner.  I specialize in working to empower women who are struggling to heal from trauma and anxiety related issues. When not working, I enjoy snuggling with my dog and spending time with my family. 

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or facing challenges that feel too big to handle on your own? Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life transitions, I’m here to help you make meaningful changes and move forward with confidence. With 15 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, results-driven psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. My practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, anger management, family conflict, career transitions, caregiver support, and more. I work with individuals, couples, and families, supporting clients of all ages—from children to older adults. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and holder of a Doctorate in Education (EdD) with a focus on Special Education, I bring advanced training and insight to my work. I have a deep understanding of the complexities of autism, intellectual disabilities, reproductive concerns, and the challenges that both men and women face. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can address your struggles, uncover your strengths, and explore new possibilities for healing and growth. Change is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s work together to begin your journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Hi! People of all walks of life often go through tough times ... and I am here to help. Since 1991, I have worked with individuals across outpatient and inpatient settings, in homes and schools, and now through telehealth. I have assisted people with a variety of challenges--whether related to depression, anxiety and stress, trauma, behavioral control, self-esteem, substance use, life transition, and other issues. I believe in "possibilities thinking", goal setting, active strategizing, and frequent accounting of progress. As a long-term counselor and college psychology professor, I am well acquainted with many therapeutic approaches; however, I am somewhat partial to cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation and mindfulness, and solution-focused treatment. I am also formally EMDR-trained and DBT-Certified, both of which are helpful for emotional regulation. There are many therapy options and providers--whomever you select, I wish you the best. Remember--it’s your life, your journey … make the most of it! Sincerely, Rick NOTE: At the current time, my availability will typically be from 9-11 am on M/W/F, from 6-9 pm on some weekday evenings; and from 8 am-2 pm on most Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes, I can free up other times as well. NOTE: I am accepting only adults, ages 18 to 64 years. NOTE: I am offering only 1:1/individual therapy (no direct family or couples' sessions). NOTE: I do not engage in any court-ordered treatment. NOTE: I am interested in conducting therapy, not doing work-mandated, IEP, or other (e.g., Disability, Drug & Alcohol, or Mental Competency) evaluations. NOTE: Though an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, I am not a Licensed Psychologist or a Psychiatrist. As such, I cannot conduct psychological testing or prescribe medications.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania. I received my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in individual, family, and group settings, including residential and outpatient counseling. Currently a school counselor, I previously worked full-time with trauma survivors, helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, and more. My approach focuses on creating a safe space where we can work together to improve your quality of life, using CBT techniques and trauma-informed care.

Life transitions, relationships in flux, maybe you haven't felt like yourself recently. Navigating hard emotions that keep you up a night, or preoccupy thinking, might be holding you back from enjoying activities and relationships you once did. Reasons for seeking therapy are unique and individual to you. You are deserving of a therapist who will build a space for you to be vulnerable with your story and emotions. Together, we can build a path forward through empathetic processing, acceptance, skill building, and goal planning. Therapy is like a compass, it doesn't provide all the answers, but it provides direction. Focusing on your strengths, presenting problem, and future goals, our time together will be spent targeting false thoughts, realizing potential, and building trust in yourself.

Hi there, I'm Taffie. Thanks so much for checking out my profile! Life can be difficult to navigate and sometimes it's hard to ask for help. The decision to identify a therapist is a great start. Therapy may seem scary. However, it need not frighten you. Think of it as a conversation that opens up new thoughts and emotions. Most people find that this type of sharing is best done in partnership with someone who provides unconditional acceptance in an environment that’s calm and comforting. Are you looking for a safe welcoming place where you can just be? Be heard . . . be valued . . . be accepted exactly where you are? I can provide that. I will listen as you express how you feel and what you’re dealing with and ask questions and make observations to help both of us understand you and your needs. We will walk through challenges and fear together to help you create a fulfilling life. I invite you into my space to start this journey. The time we spend together will be all about you.

A plan, specific actions and personalized strategies - This is what I give my clients to help them get unstuck, overcome suffering, and fully enjoy the important things in their life. The Bible, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and neuropsychology - The sources of wisdom I use to guide our plans and strategies.

I am the mother to 2 grown children and a grandmother. I was married for over 40 years prior to my husband passing, I now share my house with a Golden Retriever. I went back to school later in life, and like to encourage others to do the same if possible. My first experience in this field came when I got a job at a county mental health/developmental services program as a receptionist. I was motivated by all the great work that the caseworkers were doing to improve their clients lives. I went back to school to finish my Bachelors and finally received a Masters in Social work. I retired from the county program as a Casework Supervisor, I felt that my position was becoming more administrative, and I was missing the connections I had made with my clients. At that time I felt it was time to work on what my original goal was which was to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I did work for 5 years with children with behavioral issues in school and in their homes. My previous position was in a small practice in rural PA, where I learned the importance of being eclectic in my treatment approach because every clent and their situation is different , and they deserve to have a treatment plan specifically targeted to their situation

Tired of reading bios? I would be too, so I'll keep it short: I graduated from UPenn 10+ years ago with a Master's in Social Work. I have experience working in almost every setting you could imagine. I specialize in making people feel comfortable, safe, and validated. I specialize in treating my clients like they matter, are important & are worthy, no matter what they look like, sound like, or "seem" like. I'm also an expert in being a real human being and not a robot with automated responses who will "mhmm" you to death. My "approach" is understanding that I can't expect you to expose the deepest, darkest, most vulnerable parts of yourself to me if I remain a complete stranger to you. In our sessions, I want you to feel like you're with one of your best friends who you can trust, laugh and ugly-cry with. My only goal is to make you feel like you're not alone. Like you have someone in your corner who will fight for you, laugh with you, curse with you, and ugly-cry with you (I'm totally kidding, kinda, that part's negotiable).
