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.

Let’s see if we’re a good fit!

Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress?

I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome.

I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.

Many of my clients arrive feeling burned out, uncertain about the future, and unsure of who they are now that their roles have shifted. You may have spent years putting others first — as a mother, partner, caregiver, or professional — only to realize you don’t quite know what you want anymore. Together, we’ll create space to process that loss, reawaken your sense of self, and build a life that reflects your values, strengths, and desires — not just your responsibilities.

Hello! I’m Sheena Thomas, a licensed mental health clinician with over 10 years of experience in the Behavioral Health field. I’m passionate about helping others overcome mental health challenges and giving you the tools to create a life of balance and fulfillment utilizing scientific evidence-based practices as well as a holistic approach. It is my belief and testament that your life does not have to reflect your struggles and that you have the ability to learn how to control what may be currently controlling you. So, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Welcome! I'm Melody Dascanio and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Masters degree in Professional Counseling and I also happen to have a Bachelors of Music degree. I specialize in helping survivors of domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, and adult children of emotionally immature parents. I am certified as a Level 2 Complex Trauma Professional, a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, and a Personality Disorder Clinician. I am specially trained in EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Pathological Love Relationships, Personality Disorders and Narcissistic Abuse. Prior to opening my own practice, I founded the therapy department for a non-profit Domestic Violence Organization; creating practices, procedures, program assessment, staff training, and the therapeutic curriculum for survivors of domestic violence. I am a frequent guest speaker at conferences, facilitating workshops on Trauma Informed Care, Domestic Violence, and Trauma Interventions. In our work together, you are the expert of your story, and your strengths will help you overcome the obstacles ahead. My role is in helping you realize your power and supporting you through the healing journey. I'm humbled by each person that allows me to be a part of their journey and look forward to working with you! In my free time, I enjoy taking care of my cats, dogs, parrots, and horses. As an semi-professional musician I continue to enjoy playing piano, clarinet, flute, and violin. I am proud to be a bass clarinetist for the North Pittsburgh Symphonic Band and the Musician's Concert Band. I also enjoy bluegrass music and sang family's bluegrass band "Keep Off the Grass" for many years prior to our banjo player, my talented father, passing away. My friends describe me as unique, humorous and quirky; all qualities that I am proud to incorporate into the way I provide therapy.
