Are you struggling to remain psychologically flexible in an ever-changing world? Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of chosen values. I work with clients to address a variety of behavioral, social, and emotional problems, including mood and anxiety disorders, codependency, life transitions, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, ADD/ADHD and Autism. Being a veteran of the United States Air Force I value helping military family members and veterans with transitional issues as well as other concerns. I have experience working in addiction treatment and enjoy working with individuals in recovery to address their underlying mental health concerns.

I am Jeff, like it says on this page. I love games of all kinds and dogs of all kinds. I sit crosslegged on chairs when I can and enjoy kneading dough for baking. I'm verbose and use words as if they were legos. I have worked in hospitals, community mental health centers, a retirement home and now I am content to be in private practice. I have experience with crises, sudden life transitions and choices that seem impossible to come back from. I'm familiar with being awkward and have experience being the outcast. I became a therapist because there were many times earlier in my life where I needed support and guidance from someone who could understand me without being judgmental or controlling. Being a strange enough person already, I never quite found someone empathetic towards my situation until meeting my first therapist - a literally life changing experience. Even with almost 10 years as a therapist, I'm certainly not claiming that I'll change your life as a guarantee just because of who I am - a therapist helped me see that so much change came about by my own efforts over the years, change that you can also be empowered to pursue. I am the sort of person that will work in your interest, work for your health when it feels like illness gets in the way. If you happen to be someone or know someone that often puts others before themselves at the expense of wants and needs for themselves, then you may know me pretty well already. Transparently, I am not using AI in any form to write anything you read here about myself or my methods.

You may feel weighed down by past experiences or trauma and have a deep desire to heal and move forward. What you want most is peace of mind, hope for the future, and practical tools to cope with life’s challenges. My role is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can begin to heal, discover new ways of coping, and create the lasting change you deserve. I offer a safe, supportive space to be heard and understood while we work together to shift patterns, learn effective tools, and create space for healing and growth. I help children, adolescents, and adults work through trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, offering practical tools and support tailored to your needs. Together, we focus on healing, building resilience, and creating lasting change. Life can feel overwhelming, leaving you unsure of how to cope or move forward. You do not have to navigate this journey alone. Together we can focus on building resilience, finding clarity, and moving toward a life filled with greater balance and possibility.

My clients come to me because they want to deepen and strengthen their relationships - not just with each other, but with themselves. They want to understand the family and societal systems that shaped them into who they are today, and to heal old wounds and trauma so that they can move forward from a place of strength, healing, and connection. Many of my clients exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and have struggled to find a therapist who will understand and not further stigmatize their identities, and who is committed to unlearning systems of oppression. I seek to provide a healing space for them. I primarily draw from Internal Family Systems, Narrative, & Gottman therapies in my work, as well as specializing in working with LGBTQ+ clients. My goal is to help clients understand and articulate different "parts" of themselves, and deepen their curiosity and compassion for the parts that present barriers to healing. My constant intention is to provide culturally sensitive and affirming care, as well as a safe and affirming space for you to explore your strengths and challenges. I welcome feedback at every step of the process - communication is the backbone of any relationship, including the therapeutic one! I look forward to hearing from you and taking our next step.

I believe therapy can be a universally rewarding practice that can help navigate through life's stressors. Especially in the last few years, we see how important it is to take care of ourselves and find support. It can be overwhelming and intimidating even trying to find a place to start. My goal is to help you navigate through obstacles and barriers you may experience in order to start looking forward to the future. You are the expert on your thoughts and experiences, and we will work together to find solutions that best fit your needs. My orientation is client-centered, meaning that you and I are equal partners in navigating the struggles you are going through. My approach is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and humanistic approaches. My style is warm and casual; I understand the importance of building a strong and trustworthy relationship to create a safe and comfortable space for you. My main objective is to help you make the changes you need to have a life you enjoy living. We will work together to rediscover excitement in life and overcome the stressors that can overshadow them.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. If you choose to work with me, I'll have the honor of learning about you, so here's a little bit about me to see if I'm who you're looking for. In Spring 2025, I became a mom to a little boy who is consistently a source of joy and wonder. I was thrilled for this next stage in my life, but pregnancy and postpartum were far more painful, complex, and vulnerable than I had expected. Until going through that personally, my clinical specialty was helping folks through their past and present traumas. While that is still a primary focus of mine, I have also had the privilege of working with moms, dads, and caregivers as they navigate the life transition of parenthood and explore their new, unfamiliar selves. I am also a mom to three fluffy dogs and one leopard gecko, who is by far the easiest of the bunch. While I don't have ample free time in this season of my life, I love reading mystery novels, doing puzzles, and watching comedy movies when I can. I was drawn to this work out of a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit and a desire to be a steady presence for people during times of uncertainty, growth, and healing. If this sounds like the connection you're looking for, I can't wait to meet you.

I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based approach that helps clients regain control and build confidence in facing intrusive thoughts and fears. In addition to OCD, I have extensive experience working in addiction and behavioral health, supporting individuals through recovery with compassion, structure, and practical tools for sustainable progress. I also work with anxiety disorders and phobias, helping clients better understand their patterns and gradually overcome avoidance so they can live more freely. A core part of my work focuses on self-confidence and self-image. I help clients challenge negative self-beliefs, strengthen their sense of identity, and develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with themselves. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each individual’s goals. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering—giving you the skills, insight, and confidence to navigate life’s challenges long after our work together ends.

Hello. My name is John Petkac and I have been providing psychotherapy services for over 29 years. In addition to clinical psychology, I have background and education in music education, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My background and life experience gives me an ability to see a larger picture of situations in life and offer unique resolutions to things that may be occuring. I am a strong believer in the individual's ability to address and resolve their own issues. Through the process of therapy, we will explore what has been working for you and what has not. It is my belief and practice to treat the person, not the symptoms or the problem. We will work on building and adding to the skills you already possess to help you to build a more fulfilling life. An integral part of this process is assisting you in an increased understanding and awareness of yourself. Personal growth involves seeing and making informed choices. Therein lies the importance of self-awareness - there is no choice where there is no awareness. Raising a level of self-awareness increases your ability to have and make choices. Through exploration of these factors and possibly more, we will work toward a resolution that works for you and one that allows you to live a fuller and happier life.

I’ve had the privilege of working in outpatient behavioral health, substance use treatment centers, higher education, and private practice, which has allowed me to support people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. I especially enjoy working with middle adolescents, college students, and young to middle-aged adults. I’m passionate about supporting individuals from the BIPOC community and creating a space where clients feel safe and accepted. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and flexible.

At Ponder and Process Counseling Services, LLC, I provide a supportive environment where you can reflect, gain insight, and build the tools needed to make empowered decisions and enhance your overall well-being. Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, spending quality time with my family, and taking long walks with my dog. These moments help me stay grounded, present, and connected—qualities I also bring into the therapy space. I value balance and self-care, and I strive to model the same intentional living that I encourage in my clients.

I can help you if you can't stop a maladaptive habit or behavior that bothers you. I will listen and validate if you need to process a prior trauma to help you move beyond it or address current stressors in your life.

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.

Are you having difficulty balancing and navigating through relationships, finances, and/or your career? Do you compare yourself to people who seem to have it all figured out? Trust me, we have all been there trying to figure out this beautiful thing called LIFE. It is my passion to assist people navigating through the highs and lows of their personal life. I like to view our sessions as collaborations to help you put things in perspective and hopefully obtain the solutions you seek. My desire is to empower you to live the life that you want to live. I have experience working in various settings such as school, jail/prison, and in the community. Because of my clinical experiences and background, I can provide a non-judgmental approach for you to speak freely about any life situation. Let’s get through life together.

Hi, my name is Mary. I invite you to Google my name and read a few reviews. I’ve been privileged to help people for many years.

I earned an M.A. with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Pastoral Counseling emphasis. Throughout the years, I’ve assisted individuals and couples in both personal and professional relationships, and families as they navigate the challenges they face. I also help seniors and their families as they confront and cope with the emotional challenges they face.

I’m a therapist who believes mental health care should feel approachable, supportive, and grounded in genuine human connection. My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore challenges without pressure or pretense. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about helping you better understand yourself, your experiences, and your patterns. A balance of empathy and practicality shapes my clinical work. I integrate evidence-based techniques with authentic, real conversations. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or life transitions, we work together to build insight, coping skills, and emotional resilience. In addition to my therapy work, I also work as an ICU nurse, which has deeply influenced my perspective on stress, trauma, and the complexity of being human. That experience allows me to bring a grounded, compassionate, and realistic understanding of life’s pressures into the therapy room. Outside of work, I value quiet, restorative time. I enjoy working out, staying active, and taking care of my own well-being. I love spending time at home with my husband and our pets, and I’m a big fan of unwinding with a good movie. I believe balance, connection, and moments of calm are essential — not just luxuries — and I often help clients explore how to build more of that into their own lives.

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. When working with children, I primarily use mindfulness-based play therapy. Play allows children to express emotions, explore relationships, and process challenges in a developmentally appropriate way. By integrating mindfulness, I help children build awareness, regulate emotions, and develop self-compassion—supporting emotional resilience and a stronger connection to themselves. While most sessions focus on the child, I incorporate family therapy when it meaningfully supports progress. These sessions help strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and create more supportive home environments. I also draw from contextual therapy, considering each child within the broader systems and relationships that shape their experiences. This perspective allows me to support families in building healthier, more balanced connections. Across all modalities, compassion remains at the heart of my work. I aim to create a warm, respectful environment that honors each child’s story and supports meaningful, lasting growth. At this time, therapy services for children under the age of 15 are offered in person only. Telehealth may be available for older clients when appropriate.

Hi, I’m Gina Aiello, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, and a National Certified Counselor. I work with adults and young adults who are learning how to navigate life with ADHD and all the challenges and strengths that come with it. If you’ve ever felt like your brain just works differently - jumping from one thought to another, forgetting things that matter, or getting stuck in cycles of overwhelm and guilt, you’re not alone! I get how frustrating it can be to know you’re capable, but still struggle to stay focused or follow through. In our sessions, my goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and understood. There’s no judgment here, just curiosity, compassion, and a lot of real talk. We’ll figure out what’s actually getting in your way and build strategies that make sense for you (not some one-size-fits-all plan from a book). I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. Where you don’t have to perform or pretend you’ve got it all together. You just get to show up as you are, and we’ll take it from there. If you’re ready to start feeling more grounded, confident, and in control of your own rhythm, I’d love to work with you ◡̈
