IFS Therapy Therapists in Pennsylvania

As of 1/7/2025 only accepting individual clients for new referrals! My passion is working with children, teenagers, young adults, couples and families to process trauma and difficult experiences so they can experience growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. Through my work with individuals and family's I have learned the deep importance of understanding "what has happened" to people rather than viewing people through the lens of "what is wrong with people". Likewise, the importance of understanding one's family of origin and how this shapes our views of people and the world and impacts how we relate with people and navigate our world. I work from a relational, psychodynamic, family-systems, trauma-informed, and neurobiological perspective. Feel free to reach out for more information!

Hi! I'm April. Have you gone through a situation that caused you to feel stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed? Are you rebuilding after a traumatic or painful event? Are you having a hard time finding anyone who understands what it has been like to be you? Are you struggling to feel like yourself again? I am a professional counselor with over 20 years experience. But more importantly, I am a real person who has lived through challenges too. I'm a mom of adult twin daughters, I love playing guitar, golf, remodeling projects, being outside, crafting and trying new things. I'm a former teacher, tattoo artist, singer in a rock cover band, horse trainer, and an overall goofball who loves taking risks and trying new things. I live my life on my terms. I believe that finding power in the things that make you "YOU" is the the key to mental wellbeing and recovery from trauma. I am not a perfect person, but I live an authentic life, and I'd love to help you live your best life too. I am a trauma survivor, have struggled with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, and have been through divorce. I'm an expert on trauma, relationships, depression, anxiety, and parenting. I like to think of myself as a master at rebuilding after struggles, and I use humor and compassion to help my people do the same. It's important to me that my clients feel like they are talking to a real person who has been there too. I may be an expert on mental health, but you are the expert on you. Let's team up to build up something amazingly "YOU" together. My areas of expertise include PTSD, trauma and abuse recovery, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, relationships, and parenting and more.

Are you experiencing difficulty moving forward with life after trauma, loss or unanticipated setbacks in life? Do anxiety and worry prevent you from fully engaging and living the life you want to live? Hello my name is Kristin and I enjoy helping survivors of trauma and loss and those struggling with anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders heal from past experiences and develop confidence and courage to navigate life's challenges. Although the process looks different for everyone, I strive to help clients understand and empower themselves through identifying and building upon personal strengths, connecting to values, understanding connections between past experiences and current challenges and providing skills and support to process difficult emotions and confront triggers and fears as they emerge in everyday life. I treat individuals of all ages with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. However, I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety and worry as well as those who experienced the loss of a loved one or pet. I believe that therapy is an adventure that should be playful, engaging and directly relatable. I welcome humor and sarcasm and particularly love incorporating client's personal interests and popular culture into sessions. I often bring my two adorable chihuahuas, Dusty and Attila, into virtual sessions when desired and feasible. I believe that the telehealth platform provides an incredible opportunity to connect and work together in a relaxed setting. I work best with clients who desire and embrace this non-traditional modality and strive to ask questions, challenge assumptions and apply insights gleaned or skills taught in therapy to situations

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I obtained my Master's degree from La Salle University in 2013.

I will work with ages 18 and up. I offer telehealth and in person visits (office is located in Springfield, PA).

Welcome! I’m Shey, an IFS-informed therapist who wishes to help you navigate the journey from unhealed trauma to meaningful personal growth. I approach our work together with warmth, empathy, and evidence-based practices. We shouldn't feel like we need to wait for a crisis to put on our oxygen masks... I've done this too often myself, and learned the hard way. Practicing self-care should be a daily priority, so we're ready to show up for ourselves and for those we hold dear when it matters most. Validate the strength in your scars, tend to the wounds that remain, and fully embrace every part of who you are—authentically and unapologetically!

I am Grace! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since October 2023, but I have been in outpatient counseling for the past 4 years. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, but I have the most experience with teens and adolescents. I enjoy working with younger adults, as well. I use a variety of therapy methods during sessions. It depends on the client and their needs what therapy types would work.

I help men and women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck show up with more clarity, confidence, and calm—especially in their relationships and day-to-day life. My approach blends practical tools with deep emotional work, using IFS-informed therapy and, when desired, spiritual coaching. Whether you're navigating stress, setting boundaries, or healing old patterns, I create a space where your growth, faith, and voice are all welcome.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I want to help you go from just tolerating the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, or trauma to living fully in the present. You deserve to live the life you envision for yourself, and I want to help you do that by exploring the areas you’re struggling with, teaching you ways to cope, and reducing the impact that these symptoms have on your life by addressing them at their core. I believe that underlying most (if not all) mental health concerns is some kind of trauma – and, there’s many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.

Hi, I'm Lesli, a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania.

Hi, I am so glad you have decided to take a step in healing from your past. I specialize in working with people who grew up in families where there was some type of instability or turmoil. This could have been from addiction, mental health, abuse, neglect, anger, poverty, foster care placement, religious trauma or anything that caused some form of trauma. Oftentimes times those who grew up in this type of situation feel responsible for it or that somehow they should have fixed it.

Hi! My name is Chelsea. I am a licensed therapist living in Tennessee and serving clients in Pennsylvania. I have been privileged to work with people in many different levels of mental health care, and currently I provide short-term and long-term virtual individual therapy for adults. I help people whose emotional pain has spilled out onto their relationships, work, family, physical health, or creative endeavors. Perhaps this pain comes from facing a significant life transition, grieving a loved one, difficulty moving forward from traumatic experiences, or recovering from prolonged stressful periods of life. Often this pain comes in the form of physical anxiety, excessive worry, obsessive thinking, hypervigilance, depressed or unstable mood, irritability, numbness, hopelessness, fatigue, dissociation, or suicidal thoughts. I believe that mental health symptom relief and learning practical coping skills are important in treatment, and I also believe that healing does not have to stop there. Therapy can be a place to uncover your true self, to become unburdened from the weight of the past, to help you live a meaningful life where you have agency, or to build your psychological immunity for the future. Let’s see if we’re a good fit!
