I work with people who have experienced stress and trauma and are ready to heal and grow. I am an empathic, supportive therapist who utilizes therapeutic tools to empower my clients to lead more fulfilling lives.

I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.
Welcome — this is a space where you can be honest, seen, and understood. I’m Shakea “Kea” Roper, LCSW, and I bring 15 years of clinical and life experience to our therapeutic partnership. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by cycles that just won’t shift — I see you.
I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, racing or intrusive thoughts, life transitions, and relational struggle. My style is active, grounded, and rooted in both compassion and challenge. Many clients say: “Kea listens like no one else — and she’s not afraid to stretch me when I need it.”
I integrate evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, Brief Therapy) along with more specialized models:
Making Sense of Your Worth (MSoYW): an 8-week group curriculum developed by HALO Project where we explore and heal the internal “lies” we believe about ourselves, rebuild toward positive self-worth and secure attachment.
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT): a structured, cognitive-behavioral system where we work through step-by-step exercises to enhance reasoning, decision-making, and a healthier identity (beyond self-destructive or impulsive patterns).
I also actively engage in community work, and I’m currently pursuing my doctorate (which continues to deepen my perspective and rigor). Outside of sessions, you’ll often find me at board game night, crafting, or spending time with family.
It’s an honor to walk alongside you. Nelson Mandela said, “Everything seems impossible until it’s done.” Let’s work together toward the possible.
I’m currently accepting clients in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas, Utah, North Dakota, and Nevada.

Hi, I’m Tiffany Mack. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but more importantly, I’m someone who’s here to walk alongside you through life’s ups and downs. I know how overwhelming it can feel when challenges pile up, and my goal is to create a space where you can breathe, feel supported, and know you’re not alone. I believe everyone has the ability to grow and heal, and therapy is about working together to discover the tools and strengths that are already within you.
I work by using an integrative approach and adapt the approaches that is best suited for the client’s needs. I have experience in delivering Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy & Dialectic Behavioural Informed Therapy. I understand that therapy can be daunting but I offer a safe, confidential, emphatic and non-judgemental environment. My aim is to help clients understand their mental health issues better and empower them to achieve the changes they need in order to live a better quality of life. I have been a Counselling Psychologist for over 10 years and have a wide range of experience in a variety of healthcare settings such as the NHS, Charities & Private Hospitals in the UK. I have extensive experience working in both primary and secondary care settings including Secondary Schools, Universities, Drug & Alcohol Services, Trauma Services and in Forensic Settings.

Hi, I'm Wendy.
Do you find yourself wondering if your relationship is healthy? Do you feel overwhelmed by daily tasks and have trouble remembering the last time things felt 'normal?'
Together, we'll explore the challenges that have gotten in the way of you living your best quality of life and getting the relationships with others that you deserve. I use an eclectic approach that starts with coaching and coping skills and reaches into the deeper issues that cause fear, loneliness, and frustration by combining interpersonal effectiveness, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral methodologies with insight driven approaches such as relational therapy and trauma focused perspectives as needed.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with
Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. I have worked with individuals in relational and traumatic crises for over fifteen years. I use humor, optimism, compassion, and honesty to ease the awkwardness of therapy and guide people to embrace their worth, freeing them to find what they seek in others.
I’m Alea Frazier, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. My background includes extensive work in grief and loss, anger management, depression, and anxiety, but what truly matters is how those experiences connect to you. Therapy with me isn’t about labels or checklists, it’s about creating a safe, real space where you don’t have to “perform” or have it all figured out. My approach is down-to-earth, compassionate, and honest. I meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they navigate pain, discover their strengths, and move toward lasting growth.
I'm Dr. Victoria Panna, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in NJ and PA, and the founder of Panna Counseling and Consulting Services. With over 15 years of experience, I provide a grounded, authentic space for high-achieving individuals to navigate life’s transitions. My approach blends clinical expertise with a straight-talking, supportive style, helping you move from feeling stuck to living with intentionality and confidence.
My roles have included case management, management, and professional counseling. The numerous professional opportunities I have experienced with various populations has allowed me to find a place to dedicate myself to a career of serving exceptional individuals and working with numerous health care providers in the community.
My approach is holistic and refers to the whole-person rather than focusing on specific ailments, although topic specific symptoms will also be addressed and discussed as necessary.
My work as a clinician is grounded in compassion and a deeply person-centered approach. I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely understood and accepted, so I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow at their own pace. Compassion guides how I listen, how I respond, and how I tailor therapy to each unique child and family, ensuring that the counseling process feels gentle, respectful, and attuned to their needs.
When working with children, I primarily use mindfulness-based play therapy. Play is a natural form of communication for children, allowing them to express emotions, explore relationships, and process challenges in a developmentally appropriate way. By integrating mindfulness practices, I help children become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, regulate their bodies, and develop self-compassion. This blend helps them build emotional resilience and fosters a deeper connection with themselves.
Although most of the work occurs individually with the child, I incorporate family therapy sessions when they can meaningfully support the child’s progress. These sessions are not the main focus of treatment, but a valuable addition that strengthens communication, builds understanding, and helps families create more mindful and supportive environments at home. My goal is to guide families with compassion, helping them recognize patterns and learn ways to nurture their child’s growth.
I also draw from contextual therapy, which helps me understand each client within the larger systems and relationships that influence their daily life. Approaching these dynamics with empathy and curiosity allows me to support clients and families in healing relational wounds and building healthier, more balanced connections.
Across all modalities, compassion remains at the heart of my work. I aim to meet every person with warmth and respect, creating a healing experience that honors their story and supports meaningful, lasting change.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and solution-focused, providing a balance of empathy and insight. As an individual and a couples therapist, I strive to create an environment where both men and women feel comfortable and engaged in the process. Whether you're looking to improve your mental health or your relationships, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Hi, I'm Shelby! If you are looking for someone who will meet you where you are at, look no further. I take a person-centered and solution-focused approach with a specialization in DBT and TF-CBT. I strive to help individuals decrease immediate symptoms to make space for a thriving and authentic future. Together, we'll embrace growth by addressing the immediate concerns you are experiencing.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who believes healing happens in safe, honest relationships. I show up as a real person in the room, warm, grounded, and direct; while creating a space where you can exhale and be fully yourself. I see symptoms as meaningful responses to life experiences, not flaws to be fixed. Together, we gently explore the patterns that once helped you survive and decide which ones you’re ready to outgrow.
My work blends insight with practical tools. I integrate parts work, relational approaches, and nervous system regulation to help you understand your emotions, strengthen your boundaries, and build resilience. I balance compassion with thoughtful challenge, supporting you while also encouraging growth.
At the core of my work is the belief that you are not broken but you are adapting. Therapy is about helping you reconnect with your strengths, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.
I received my master’s degree in counseling in 2011 and have been working as a counselor in higher education since then. I started providing on-line counseling more than 5 years ago and got to perfect that skill over the pandemic.
I am the father of three beautiful, intelligent, well adjusted, usually content, sometimes happy, young adults and I hold my job in helping them become good humans as my most valued and important purpose in my existence. I was married to the same woman for twenty-three years, since we were but ourselves emerging adults, and understand that even with friendship, love, and respect this type of partnership has its ebbs and flows; and sometimes relationships are just completed. I understand how difficult the loss of love can be; but also understand that life can be great again after these hardships.
I believe in the ability in nature to restore the energy that we constantly give out and always urge people to be outside, to recharge themselves. I am creative and productive and will push my clients to unlock the creative potentials they inside of themselves. I love starting and finishing home improvement projects. I enjoy reading and am passionate about music although I am not musically inclined in the least. I understand that even when we are doing everything "right" and doing the things we love...life can still be difficult.
I consider pride myself on the ability to quickly form a therapeutic alliance and maintain positive relationships with my clients to enact the changes they wish to see, get through rough patches, reach goals, or just be "happyish". I am open, honest, friendly, and pretty normal. I will work closely with you to help you solve your own issues as I feel we hold the answers to our own questions.
Perhaps you struggle with depression or anxiety and are overwhelmed trying to manage the stress of daily living. You may find yourself resorting to substance use or other compulsive behaviors as a form of coping with daily stressors. You are committed to change and have tried to change, but lack the deeper awareness of what is driving the behaviors. It can be disheartening to acknowledge the unwanted impact on your life and on your valued relationships.
My guiding principle as a therapist comes in the form of a question: what’s it like being you? My therapeutic skills involve exploring the way you view yourself, your relationships, and the way you interpret your lived experience. I draw from CBT, attachment theory, exploration of existential issues, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed therapy.
My goal is to facilitate meaningful, helpful, and transformative conversations that revolve around understanding you and helping you develop the useful tools for change. I will guide our sessions with this in mind as we work together, allowing you and helping you feel understood in specific ways that promote change.
Hi! I’m Nick, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Millersville University in 2023, and previously completed my Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Criminology from Penn State University in 2020. I have worked in inpatient, outpatient, correctional, and child-focused settings. Across these roles, I’ve learned how differently people can experience similar situations, and how important it is to slow down and understand someone’s story before drawing conclusions.
In our work together, I integrate IFS-informed and attachment-based perspectives with ACT, CBT, and DBT. I tailor my interventions to what would be most helpful for you, individually. However, more than any specific technique, I focus on building a steady, collaborative relationship. Therapy with me is a space where you can slow down and simply breathe.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. We begin where you are.
I have over a decade of experience working with people as they navigate life transitions. I understand struggling and feeling overwhelmed, and believe that adding support and guidance can help alleviate life's stressors.
I've worked multiple years as a therapist in a community mental health center, a partial hospitalization program, and a nursing home. I try to understand where you are starting and where you are trying to go. I believe that there is value in humor, storytelling, and understanding different perspectives.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker based in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I have a passion for working with adults who are 50 years of age and older, helping them navigate the unique physical, cognitive, mental, emotional, and social changes that are common to middle-aged and older adults. I recognized early in my social work practice that there are limited resources catered to these age groups, and I have strived to be a part of the growing movement to change that, particularly with improving access to mental health care. In addition to psychotherapy, I have experience working with older adults who reside within different levels of care in Life Plan communities / continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). I have also worked in hospice care, at a community organization assisting older adults who are experiencing symptoms of hoarding disorder, and have undergone training with the International End of Life Doula Association (INELDA) to further develop a holistic approach to aging, dying, and death. Through my varied experiences and firm belief that all people should live and age well whenever possible, I hope to work with you to navigate any issues that are preventing you from living your best life!

I love what I do, and I know why I do it. Since 2007 my focus has been coming along side of people and assisting them with challenges they face in life to become the most authentic and genuine person they were meant to be. In my own journey I've come to accept and appreciate the gifts I've been given, even if they're seemingly unrelated. I love my work as a therapist and I will always be passionate about performing music. How the two coexist within me is the journey I'm on. My focus has been in becoming a better therapist each day ... but I also know I'll never stop playing guitar and performing music, it's part of who I am.
My clients describe me as warm, compassionate and supportive. Our first steps will be creating a space where you feel safe. The therapy process is then guided by your needs and preferences. Together we will explore the issues that have brought you to therapy. Difficulties in life are normal. You are not alone. And you will have me by your side as we figure out what feels right for you, and what are the best ways for you to achieve your goals.

Hi! I’m Brianna Serrano, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in PA and NJ with specialized certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C).
My background includes over a decade of experience in various settings in healthcare as both a mental health professional and medical social worker with a deep commitment to supporting others through life's most challenging moments.
Throughout my career in healthcare settings, I've walked alongside individuals and families facing illness, loss and major transitions- experiences that taught me the value of presence, compassion and the incredible strength people hold even in times of struggle.
My certification in Perinatal Mental Health allows me to provide specialized care in supporting individuals and families through the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, birth trauma, perinatal loss, or adjusting to the profound identity shift of becoming a parent, you deserve a space where your experience is honored and your voice is heard.
“My style of therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment therapy/mindfulness. My passion is for learning your story and working alongside you to find the solutions that work for you. I’m here to help you examine what you’ve already lived through and find the path forward. In my work with people with trauma I’ve learned that we often need the reminder – no matter what you have struggled with; you are a survivor and that needs to be brought to light. Keeping that in mind, I am guided by the client towards the goals that they feel are necessary for their treatment.”

My name is Beth Ann Bunting, and I am a LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania, with over 30 years of experiencing supporting individuals and families. I've helped clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, amputations and traumatic brain injuries. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, heard, and supported, so I strive to create a calm, encouraging environment where growth can change can take place.
My goal as a therapist is to meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you as you rediscover your strengths and potential. Whether you're looking for understanding, coping skills, or a path toward deeper healing, I'm here to help guide that process with compassion and care.
Life is hard. Sometimes it feels like problems come one after another. It is overwhelming. You don't have to get through it alone. Therapy is a great place to talk about life's problems where you can say anything and not be judged. No matter what you’re facing, talking with someone can help. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel like you’re grabbing coffee with a friend…a friend who happens to be a licensed counselor with more than 11 years of experience.
In my time working as a counselor, I have helped patients manage and overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. From challenges with the overwhelming pressure of academic life, work life, career choices, relationship challenges, and more, I will be there to offer an objective perspective on your situation and provide healthy tips and resources to navigate it. My approach empowers personal growth while always ensuring you feel safe, seen, and heard.
Depending on your needs, I utilize CBT, DBT, and Reality Therapy approaches in sessions. Currently, all sessions will be conducted virtually, allowing you to participate from the comfort of your own home and on a more flexible schedule.
Let's do this together.
Hi there! I am a big sports fan who loves spending time with family, sharing laughter, and enjoying great food. Music and outdoor activities are two of my favorite things.

You’ll often catch me embarrassing my family with my corny dad jokes or dance moves. I’ve worked in a variety of therapeutic settings as a school counselor, acute therapist, and suicide prevention therapist. My lifelong motto is, "do your best so you can give your best."
Hello! I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. My approach combines evidence-based methods with innovative coaching techniques, tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences. I offer individual, couples, and group counseling, and my goal is to support you in finding balance and healing in a way that feels right for you. Whether you’re looking for guidance, growth, or a fresh perspective, I’m here to help you move forward.
Hello! Let me start off by introducing who I am. I am a counselor who is passionate about helping people build meaningful, stable lives to be the best version of themselves. I see counseling as a shared journey: you are guiding the way, and I am holding the light to help us see the path more clearly. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients can explore who they are. I love exploring identity and helping you build a strong foundation. I have been told in the past that I have a more "laid-back" yet structured approach.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. I received my masters in Clinical Mental Health from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am a doctorial candidate; working towards a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision. I have been practicing for over 25 years with individuals with a substance use disorder in in-patient facilities, as well as private practice working with children 8 years old through adults; assisting them in becoming the best version of themself with skills to manage their future. The counseling session ultimately belongs to the client...not the counselor.
Hi there! I'm a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping you move toward a healthier, more hopeful future. My own early life experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others, giving me a deep understanding of the challenges children, teens, and families face—especially around conflict, abuse, isolation, and rejection. As well as the long lasting effects these have on adults that did not have the opportunity to address them sooner.
I am committed to guiding you through life's challenges. I enjoy creating a therapeutic space without judgment and I utilize a conversation-based method to build therapeutic rapport. Are you struggling with relationship issues or coping with anxiety? Do you have ADHD, depression, or facing significant life stressors or changes? These are all areas I specialize in as a clinical therapist.
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.
I work collaboratively with you to create positive changes in your life, resolve challenges, and move toward goals that feel meaningful and authentic. I believe it is important to understand who you are as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or label. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, compassionate, and centered on your unique experiences, strengths, and needs.
I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered therapy, psychodynamic principles, play therapy, and EMDR. I also have a strong background in the Developmental, Individual-Difference, Relationship-Based (DIR) model and specialized training in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). These frameworks help me better support individuals and families, particularly those navigating neurodiversity, trauma, and complex emotional experiences.
