Hi! I am Lexi. I have been working with high acuity trauma clients for three years, since switching from a career in school counseling. Working with clients who have experienced immense trauma is such meaningful work that I am so grateful to be a part of. My clinical passions are centered around helping individuals build their self-worth, challenge thinking traps, and manage mental health symptoms through coping mechanisms. The most rewarding circumstances for me are helping clients to reclaim their strengths and their story, while working towards fostering a healthy environment of love and acceptance for their selves. While my experiences have been largely based on trauma throughout my career, I am open to all clients and enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds and circumstances. :)

I am an LCSW with over 20 years experience as a front line clinician, supervisor and manager in the fields of substance use and addiction. I have learned over the years to take a flexible approach to patients, to "meet you where you're at." Every patient is unique, and my way of working with you is to collaborate on a treatment plan that addresses the issues that are of primary importance to you. Although I have learned a number of different approaches over the years, the therapy I provide has as its basis respect and a valuing of your unique strengths and gifts.

I became a therapist because I saw how powerfully transformative having a safe space could be in my life and the lives of my loved ones. It is my firm belief that everyone can benefit from therapy if they are well matched to the person they are working with. Over the course of the past decade, I've honed specialty focus on trauma-informed care, LGBTQ+, kink/sex positivity, human sexuality, women's empowerment, relationships and family sessions, and gaining a strong sense of self and direction in the face of challenging life circumstances. If these areas of treatment resonate with you, I'd love to schedule a time to connect about what you are looking for in a therapist. I completed my undergraduate degree in Communication Studies at UCLA and completed my MSW at University of Southern California. I am licensed in California and Pennsylvania. My clinical focus areas include trauma, relationships, sexuality, gender and the personality disorder spectrum in addition to working extensively with associated comorbidities such as anxiety and depression. I am a believer in whole-person wellness and am able to integrate yogic principles, creative arts and mindfulness into sessions to assist with deeper work. At the present time I am accepting remote access clients via telehealth, a safety precaution due to Covid-19. I look forward to meeting you and am excited to work toward your goals with you!

Hello and welcome! I’m Beth, and I’m so glad you’re here taking this important first step toward self-care. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. You may be feeling a loss of motivation, overwhelmed by emotions, or worried about a child. Whatever challenges you’re facing, I believe EVERYONE deserves to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can face challenges, find empowerment, and build a sense of security to move forward with confidence. As a highly sensitive and empathetic person, I deeply value compassion and authenticity. As a wife and mother of two young adults, we definitely have our moments of driving each other a little crazy! I find my balance by spending time outdoors and enjoying plenty of chocolate!!! The tools and strategies I share with my clients are ones I’ve personally used, and my experiences as a therapist, educator, mother, wife, daughter, and friend allow me to connect as a genuine and relatable ally in the therapeutic process. Before becoming a counselor, I spent 20 years teaching in Philadelphia, working with students who often faced significant emotional and mental health challenges. During that time, I witnessed how the education system prioritized academics over addressing these deeper struggles. Over time, I came to realize that my true calling was to support children on a more personal level, which inspired me to pursue my degree in mental health counseling and begin the work I’m so passionate about today. As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I’m deeply committed to advocating for children who aren’t getting the support they need. I also find it incredibly meaningful when adult clients share that they’ve always felt something was “off,” only to later discover that ADHD may have played a role in their experiences.

Hello there! I'm Sophia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My background is in working with young people transitioning to adulthood.

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.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Pennsylvania. I have been licensed for over 20 years. I have an extensive trauma therapy background and have been certified as a trauma professional and EMDR clinician. I work from an inclusive platform for therapeutic relationships with clients.

Hello, my name is Lynn Ackert, I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. My background includes working with children and teenagers in various mental health settings, and with adults of all ages in crisis and outpatient settings. In my work with clients, I focus on my clients' strengths, by creating an open and safe environment of rapport where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Taking the first step to connect to therapy takes courage. I am here to support you on that journey. I enjoy working with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and pulling from other therapeutic orientations for skills and tools to manage challenges. Working with clients on anxiety, depression, trauma and life challenges offers the opportunity to use strengths to create a joyful life. I am trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy for trauma memories and follow a trauma-informed practice with continuing education on various topics.

Hello, I'm Vicki. I have been described as compassionate and intuitive and whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues I am here to help. My methods of counseling will provide you with the tools needed for you to work through your questions and struggles. Through guidance you can learn how to create relationship skills and build upon the skills you already possess. Some of the benefits of therapy include: gaining a better understanding of yourself, learning how to handle difficult emotions, identifying underlying causes of symptoms, providing coping strategies, managing symptoms and facilitating lifestyle changes.

As a licensed professional counselor, I provide an empathetic approach to counseling. My goal is to create a trusting environment to build a positive therapeutic relationship. By doing this, my client is able to discuss those issues they may have never disclosed before. My specialty is in behavior modification for children (beginning at 3 years old) and also trauma for children through adults. I also have experience working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, ADHD, self-harm, mood disorders, personality disorders, and anger management. I use evidence-based therapy such as CBT, TF-CBT, and EMDR I use a warm, non-judgmental approach to help clients better understand their patterns of feeling, thinking, and behaving and to learn to cope and communicate in healthier ways.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PA & WV) with 10 years of experience in outpatient mental health. I specialize in supporting individuals — both adolescents and adults — navigating the aftermath of trauma, loss, adoption/foster care challenges, grief, anxiety, and depression. With children and teens, I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF‑CBT), integrating trauma‑informed strategies tailored to younger clients. With adults, I use trauma-informed interventions alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), adapting my approach to each person’s unique story, strengths, and pace. Being adopted myself has deeply shaped my passion for adoption and foster care work — not just as a professional interest, but from lived experience. I understand the layers of identity, connection, loss, and belonging that come with these journeys, and I bring that insight to my practice with empathy and sensitivity. I also maintain ongoing training in areas such as grief work, anxiety, depression, and relational dynamics to ensure I’m bringing current practices to our work.

Hi, I’m Kiara. I'm so glad you're here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a National Certified Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling psychology. I have over 10 years experience providing services from various settings. I have worked with individuals ranging from 2 year olds to adults and diverse populations including intellectual disabilities, substance and alcohol disorders and emotional and mental health struggles. I am passionate about helping ambitious adults who struggle with high-functioning anxiety, depression and trauma find freedom from their distress, fears, overthinking and self-doubt. My mission is to help my clients feel more confident in themselves, their decisions, develop better coping skills and live a more fulfilling life. Together, we can explore and identify what is keeping you stuck and work collaboratively to discover effective tools to help you overcome your struggles.

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.

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

As a multi-tasking Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Director, and mother of 5, I understand how the trials and tribulations of everyday life stressors can accumulate and wear one down. My primary goal as a clinician is to provide a safe environment where an individual can process stress, explore interpersonal relationships, and life goals to be re-energized by a life worth living, empowered over self-doubt and be able to reach one's potential. I am passionate about trauma-informed care and understand the importance of utilizing evidenced-based practices. With over 15 years of experience working in Community Behavioral Health, I have worked with individuals from varying backgrounds, large age ranges, and a spectrum of diagnoses.

Hi, my name is Josh. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with clients of all ages on the issues that separate them from meaningful connection with themselves and others. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and groups, and I take an existential approach to dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders.

Hi, I’m Brittany — a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who helps women heal from trauma, break free from intrusive thoughts, and manage high-functioning anxiety without burning themselves out. Many of my clients appear “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside—carrying childhood trauma, people-pleasing patterns, chronic worry, or perfectionism that never seems to let up. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep powering through it. When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me outdoors with my family and dog, reading, traveling, going to concerts or comedy shows, or doing a Bible study. These things help me stay grounded — and I bring that same grounded energy into sessions.

Hi, I’m Kris. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with training in EMDR and a deep commitment to creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard and supported. Outside of my work, I love traveling with my family, getting lost in a good book on my front porch, and finding ways to be creative. I bring that same sense of curiosity, connection, and care into my work—because I believe healing happens best when we feel safe, supported, and truly ourselves.

Hello! My name is Kelly Brock and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania and also in Iowa. Maybe you are just feeling stuck, and don't know why? Or maybe you know why, but don't quite understand what tools to use or how to use them to get yourself to that next level up in self-understanding and comfort? I believe finding one's peace in life is a journey of exploration… Sometimes our human side tends to make the exploration in life's journey a tad bit complicated. When we know more about ourselves (and others)... we are just able to navigate life better!

Seeking support is an important step if you're facing the challenges of everyday life. The journey towards therapy may seem overwhelming at first, but it can significantly improve your mental well-being and personal growth. Taking the initiative to find peace and happiness is an accomplishment in itself. Having someone supportive and validating of your experiences is crucial during this vulnerable time. As someone who has worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for over 20 years, I have had the privilege of helping people overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma. My experience stems from working in residential and community mental health organizations. I always keep up with ongoing training and certifications to stay up-to-date with the latest changes and challenges that women and men face today. Together, we can set achievable goals and boundaries while identifying and working through negative thought patterns that may be hindering your progress. It would be an honor to work with you and help you improve your mental health.

I’m Kellie Walker, LPC, and I work with adults who are ready to stop talking about change and actually make it happen. I help people work through anxiety, trauma patterns, boundary struggles, and life transitions that shake everything up. My style is direct but compassionate. I’ll tell you what I notice, whether it’s patterns, blind spots, or ways you might be holding yourself back, while staying grounded and respectful. I sometimes use humor when it helps. I believe in your capacity to grow, even when you don’t see it yet. Clients often say I “tell it like it is,” but they also feel seen and supported. I’m not here to sugarcoat things or just nod along. I’m here to help you create real change. If you’re ready to do the work and want someone honest, down to earth, and genuinely in your corner, we’ll be a good fit.

They had heard these messages from friends, families, religious leaders, and even past therapists. Sarah is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and practices Trauma Informed Therapy. The effects of trauma can look like many other mental health diagnoses and people can often be misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, or Depression.
