Hello! I'm a Pennsylvania-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker and yoga teacher who treats anxiety, depression and trauma. I combine EMDR, somatic therapy and strength based talk therapy to help clients connect with their whole selves and live their lives more authentically. As we work together, clients become more self aware, reduce the impact of old wounds, and clear space for new patterns of thought, feeling and action. This process helps them move more freely towards the future they desire.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania; I'm also licensed in Wisconsin. 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 and having a healthy relationship with yourself. 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 are many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I invite you to learn more about my approaches to therapy, trauma, and trauma therapy by visiting my website: (www.everystepforward.com). And, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

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.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), fluent in both English and Spanish, with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Moravian University and a Bachelor of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the Catholic University of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. My approach to therapy is holistic and person-centered, blending evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic-Based Therapy to support healing and growth. I am a therapist who believes healing happens when the mind, the soul and body are integrated. My work is grounded in lived experience, clinical training, and a deep respect for how hard people work to survive adversity. I’ve used therapy, especially somatic therapy, in my own healing. I know what it’s like to understand patterns intellectually while your body still feels on edge. I also know change is possible when we get curious and slow things down. My style is warm, collaborative, and real. I am not a blank slate or a distant observer. I believe the therapy relationship matters, and I show up as myself in sessions. Therapy with me is not about fixing you. You were never broken. It’s about helping you feel safe enough to be fully yourself. Outside of therapy, I love being in nature, hiking, working out at the gym, and travelling to new places. In addition to this, my Caribbean background consists of me enjoying the beach, sight-seeing the ocean, sunsets and sunrises.

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!

I can help you navigate through change: job loss, grief, family estrangement, divorce/breakup, gender exploration, working on anxious attachment or people-pleasing. Together, we can work to integrate trauma, depression, anxiety and other symptoms into a life that feels worthwhile, however you define that. There's definitely more than one path for healing, and what can look like stability to some can be uncomfortably stifling to others. I will utilize a combination of narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT/CBT skills (very optional!), feminist therapy and insight-oriented therapy to help you find your way forward. My biggest rule in therapy is "no trauma shaming." That is, if you are sharing your trauma and include a qualifier such as "other people have it worse," I will remind you that your trauma is valid! Surviving trauma is difficult enough; shame is a log lying on the train tracks. We can move it, and move forward, with the correct equipment.

Hi! My name is Kaila Rae, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). In the last 5 years, I've worked with individuals who struggled with a wide range of presenting concerns, including complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, disordered eating, substance abuse, OCD, and challenges associated with being neurodivergent. Don't see what you are struggling with in that list? That's okay. Because no matter how complex the reason that brings you here today is, the core belief of my practice is simple: Your life and all of the problems you've faced are unique, so the path to your healing should be too. Therapy with me is a collaborative partnership where I draw from multiple theoretical approaches, including IFS (Internal Family Systems), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Somatic, Narrative, and Attachment-Based therapies, to tailor every step of treatment to your specific needs and goals. I will do my best to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to go in a way that honors your lived experience, background, and culture. Still wondering if we are a good fit? I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation call prior to scheduling to ensure a strong therapeutic fit and clarify essential practice policies.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Pennsylvania rather than a city like Philadelphia?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Pennsylvania. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Scranton! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Pennsylvania.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
