Hello, I'm Ciara.
Are you ready to make a much-needed change in your life? Does it feel like you do not have the support you want and need? Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, or general stress, I am here to help.
I help motivated individuals develop a healthier relationship with themselves and with others. While working together, I seek to create a safe space for you to express yourself, process your thoughts and feelings, and work towards overcoming challenges and reaching personal goals. In our sessions together, I will meet you with compassion, honesty, and the motivation to help you overcome the difficulties that are holding you back from being your best self. It is not always easy to be vulnerable and seek help but you are making the right choice!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Pennsylvania. I have experience working in the field of mental health and behavioral health since 2003. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction issues, and other mental health/behavioral health issues. I also helped people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
I consider myself an eclectic psychotherapist. I believe that no one individual is the same as another, therefore treatment should be personalized. Based on where the individual is at and their goals for life and goals for therapy will determine what technique I will use. Techniques may change from session to session. Some techniques I use include, but not limited to, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy.
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons and seek therapy at different stages in their lives. My therapeutic approach begins with meeting the individual where he/she is currently. Each person and their situation are unique which is why I am a strong believer that person centered is the best approach as therapy is not one size fits all.
I value developing a therapeutic relationship with each individual that I provide services. My goal is to allow the individual to feel comfortable in each session as a result of me offering respect and empathy, being able to accept, and being genuine and authentic. In return I ask that each person is committed to the process and honest throughout.
Taking the steps to seek therapy is the first step to seeking change. If you’re ready to take that step, I am here to guide and support you.
Hi there, I'm Stephen.
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
I help people manage anxiety and depression. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
The only constant in life is change. I see my primary role as therapist to be acting as steward and support for a client as they grow and change. I strive to create a safe a supportive space where a client can explore their identity without fear of judgement. I also seek to support my clients during their road to recovery from past trauma, attachment issues, and relationship struggles.
I have been working as a therapist trained in supporting folx identifying as LGBTQIA+ as well as trans and gender variant, and have had the honor of supporting teens and adults during their gender exploration and transition. I have exensive training and experience in this area, including training from the CHOP Gender Clinic and through the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia.
Seeking therapeutic support can be a frightening and stressful experience and I seek to be a grounding support person who can provide the feedback and tools necessary to survive and thrive during this process.
With 20+ years of experience, I can offer you various tools to help you on your journey. I've raised six children and I can offer empathy and understanding of family life very effectively. I strongly believe that assisting someone make choices is the best way to feel better. I have worked with individuals, with anxiety and depression In a non-judgmental environment, we can explore avenues that you as the client present.
I am experienced in EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) used most effectively with trauma.
If you seek a counselor that is direct and real, look no further because I am that person.

Using a gentle, hypnosis-based approach, I offer solution-focused brief therapy to help you access your internal resources and work through challenges. With acceptance and appreciation of what you can do, possible solutions previously not in sight start to appear organically.
My interventions are based on our collaboration and leverage your own experiences, beliefs, and behavioral patterns to drive change. I use storytelling and metaphors that mirror your problems and indirectly guide your problem-solving. With your consent, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state in which new perspectives are more easily accessible or receptive.
Hi, I’m Andrea Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families. I help clients manage anxiety and stress, heal from trauma and grief, navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, and build greater confidence, motivation, and self-esteem.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized to your needs. Together, we’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, recognize the strengths you already possess, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, so you can expect a safe, welcoming space where you can express yourself openly and without judgment.
When I’m not in session, I enjoy listening to music and cheering on my favorite football team. These are a few of the ways I recharge and stay grounded.
When you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support you, and walk alongside you as you heal from the past, focus on the present, and transform your future.
