Hello there you beautiful human! My name is Krysta and I am most excited and passionate about helping humans find their whole magical selves. Whether you're struggling with a lifelong diagnosis, traumatic experiences that are interfering with your life, a recent crisis or setback, or are struggling to find your place in this life, I would be honored to work with you and help support you in all the next steps you are made to take. Life is hard enough as it is, throwing anything else on top of that can not only be overwhelming but often times incredibly lonely. You deserve to feel supported, empowered, and reminded that you aren't alone. I specialize in helping women of all ages find their power and voice as well on growing in their ability to see their value and gifts. In addition, I also specialize in working with ADHD women looking to enhance their own identity as a neurodivergent and powerful individual. As a neurodivergent human myself, it is a gift to get to meet and work with individuals looking to better understand their own magnificent (albeit creatively chaotic) brain. I offer a quiet space that is designed entirely around you and what you need.

I've always believed that most people aren't broken, they're stuck. And stuck is something we can work with. For 15 years I have worked with a wide range of people: veterans carrying wounds that never got proper attention, couples trying to find their way to a healthier relationship, individuals wrestling with OCD or trauma or habits they can't seem to shake, and families navigating transitions that turned their world upside down. I tend to be direct yet compassionate in the way approach therapy and to what my clients are dealing with. The best complement for me is when a client tells me how they felt seen and heard unlike they have had previously. I have a particular place in my heart for those living between worlds - racial minorities, expats, and members of immigrant communities who are navigating the push and pull of various socio-cultural forces. I understand that experience from the inside, not just from a textbook. If you are someone who is ready to engage honestly and wants a clinician who will meet you with both expertise and genuine care, please reach out.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS) with over five years of experience supporting people through cancer, serious illness, grief, and loss. As a two-time breast cancer survivor myself, I bring both professional training and personal understanding to this work, not because I have all the answers, but because I know that no two experiences are the same. If you're facing a cancer diagnosis, navigating life after treatment, living with chronic illness or chronic pain, grieving a loss, or caring for someone seriously ill, you don't have to carry that alone. I work with family caregivers as well as the nurses and healthcare professionals who carry this work every day. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and neither does healing. Whether your loss is recent or resurfacing years later, whether you're newly diagnosed, deep in treatment, in survivorship, or supporting someone you love through it all, you deserve a space that is entirely yours. A place to say the things you can't say anywhere else. I see clients via telehealth across Pennsylvania.

My approach to treatment is grounded in trauma-informed care and a strong belief in the power of self-awareness.

Through this process of insight and reflection, individuals can begin to develop healthier coping strategies and create lasting change. While therapy can provide guidance, support, and tools for growth, I also emphasize the importance of personal commitment and motivation in the recovery process. When individuals are willing to engage in that work, therapy can become a powerful space for healing, growth, and transformation.

Hi, I'm Malika! Have you ever felt like you were wearing a mask around everyone else? That you are truly the one exception to the rule that everyone is deserving of love?

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pennsylvania. I obtained my social work degree from Marywood University. Throughout my 23 year career I have served North Central PA. I help individuals that have experienced trauma, losses, addiction, divorce, relationship struggles, depression, and anxiety. I strive to ensure each of my clients are empowered throughout their treatment process. We approach your reason for seeking therapy at your pace.

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 work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. 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 like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. 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.

I work s with individuals across the lifespan, as well as families, navigating a wide range of life experiences and mental health concerns.

People often "move forward with time, but never move on," meaning they move on with time but never move on from past hurts. I aim to help clients move forward to live productive and healthy lives, guided by their faith in God, and free from the burden of past trauma.

Hey, I’m Mariah! I work with women who look like they have it together on the outside but internally feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. A lot of my clients are the ones everyone depends on. They’re successful, self-aware, high-achieving, and used to pushing through. But underneath that, they’re overthinking everything, emotionally drained, struggling in relationships, and wondering why they still feel so stuck despite years of trying to “work on themselves.” Many have done therapy before and left frustrated because they gained insight but nothing actually changed. My approach is honest, direct, and focused on getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck — not just helping you manage symptoms. I help clients understand the deeper patterns behind their anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, and relationship struggles so they can stop surviving life on autopilot. I’m not the therapist who just sits quietly and nods for 50 minutes. I’ll challenge you, connect the dots, and help you make real shifts in the way you relate to yourself and others. I also offer private pay therapy for clients looking for more personalized care without the limitations insurance can place on treatment. Clients are able to use HSA/FSA funds to pay for services and are able to receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself, feel truly heard, and talk openly without judgment. With over 16 years of experience working with adults, I know reaching out for support can feel difficult, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you can start wherever you are. My approach is genuine, collaborative, and down-to-earth, and I’ll work alongside you as you process past experiences, navigate current challenges, build healthier skills, and create meaningful changes that help you feel better and move forward.

With 12 years experience as a counselor I am highly adaptable and tend to adjust my therapeutic style and approach to the needs of the specific, individual client. I utilize eclectic and psychodynamic therapy to build strong therapeutic alliances helping clients develop insights into their experiences and personal strengths which may be employed to impact and assist in navigating the struggles often encountered by human beings.

Hi, I’m Candace Roberts, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Purposefully Soaring Counseling Services. I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, whether you’re starting college, entering the workforce, leaving a relationship, or figuring out what you want after years of putting others first. I bring warmth, curiosity, and honest conversation to therapy, and I care about creating a space where women of color can feel understood without having to explain every part of their experience. My approach is trauma-informed and draws on mindfulness and EMDR when it fits your needs. Together, we’ll make space for what you’re feeling and practice ways to trust your voice, set boundaries, and make decisions that feel right for you.

I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Holy Family University. I am a Licensed Professional therapist and a Nationally Certified Counselor, that has worked with various populations from teenagers to the elderly in different settings including inpatient, partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient. While using Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR and Mindfulness approaches, I provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment to help clients through life's difficulties. I have experience with helping patients process grief and loss, trauma, substance abuse, personality disorders, being on the receiving end of narcissistic abuse and more common concerns such as anxiety, depression. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family & friends, stand up comedy and traveling.

I help men and women who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves while trying to keep up with work, family, relationships, parenting, and everyday life. Many of my clients are high-stress professionals, first responders, caregivers, parents, or people who are used to being the one everyone counts on. They may be dealing with anxiety, grief after a loss, trauma, low self-esteem, childhood experiences that still affect them, or major life changes including perimenopause and menopause. You may be the person everyone relies on, but inside you feel exhausted, irritable, stuck, or unsure of yourself. You might overthink, people-please, have trouble setting boundaries, or feel guilty when you try to put your own needs first. In therapy, we focus on helping you understand what is keeping you stuck and what you can actually do differently. Together, we build self-worth, strengthen emotion regulation, create healthier boundaries, improve coping skills, and work toward feeling more confident and in control of your life.
