Living life, relating to others, adapting to changing circumstances in a changing world, understanding our needs and desires, communicating those needs and desires to others: these are undertakings that require a degree of self-awareness, self-understanding, and insight into what drives us. It is my hope that I can be of some assistance in your process of self-discovery and self-acceptance. When meeting with me, you will receive friendly, compassionate, and non-judgmental support as you do the work of self-exploration, self-reflection, and reintegration of dissociated or fragmented parts of yourself and/or your experiences so that you may undergo a healing process. You will also receive practical suggestions of ways to cope with difficult emotions as they arise throughout the process. I endeavor to create a safe, sacred space for these experiences to occur as well as to ask questions, provide perspective, and make suggestions at times to encourage action or change.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to look at my page! Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. So, my hope is that I can do my part to help you to feel comfortable...remove some of the awkwardness from the process...and ideally, have you feeling motivated and excited about starting your therapeutic journey! A little bit about me and how I approach the therapeutic process... Without question, one of the comments I hear most from clients is that they're always surprised by how much they actually ENJOY our sessions —even when working through some of their most difficult challenges. I jokingly tell people that my "superpower" is that I'm really good at making therapy feel like a great conversation between two people - and one of those people just HAPPENS to be a therapist who helps you work through the things that are keeping you stuck. Therapy should make you feel as though you are getting something out of this...and that you are growing, healing - and thriving - because of it. I've been fortunate to be able to help people from all walks of life and what I have learned is that regardless of background, culture, socioeconomic status, or life circumstances, people want many of the same things—meaningful relationships, resilience through life's challenges, and a sense of purpose/fulfillment. So, whether you're facing personal challenges, professional pressures, or both, my goal is to help you get on the path where you can finally feel like you not only have a handle on this thing called Life - but that you are THRIVING in it!

I'm an artist and art therapist based in Philadelphia, PA. I've worked within the community mental health field for more than a decade, providing group and individual counseling and art therapy. As a therapist, I lead with kindness, compassion, and humor. I believe that connection is the foundation of healing. I feel passionately about the importance of community care and the deep, transformative potential of creative expression. I’ve personally experienced how art can be a tool for processing trauma and making sense of life’s challenges. I believe every person has a unique and valuable perspective to share, and that your voice matters. I also have an old cat who may make an appearance from time to time. I love connecting with nature, birding, hiking, and being outdoors. I enjoy baking, making art, dancing, collecting books I hope to read, and tea. I dabble in tarot cards, reiki, and playing music.

I welcome new and returning clients into telehealth services. I believe it is important for individuals to feel supported, emotionally safe, and know that they are being heard and not judged. I have adopted various clinical approaches to my work with clients, including but not limited to Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, Existential, and Cognitive-Behavioral treatment.

Hello! Welcome to my site, my name is Ryan Brooks Leslie, licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist. I'm glad you found me here. There are few situations in life which are comparable to being in therapy; A helping relationship based on mutual respect, honesty, humility, educated/objective guidance, and genuine connection, in order for you to better navigate this thing we call "life". Being able to say anything, without fear of judgment, reproach, or rejection can allow you to truly face the obstacles that separate you from happiness and freedom; to be the best and most fulfilled version of yourself. I have spent the better part of 18 years educating myself and honing my counseling skills to people in this endeavor, and I must say I love being a therapist and have great confidence in my therapeutic skills and their benefit to you. I am experienced in addictions, trauma (EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, improving social skills, existential life issues and transitions. I have found that it is often a combination of forces within and without of ourselves that create our unique situations that we need help with. While I have many methods to facilitate processing (talking, art therapy, mindfulness, EMDR), I believe that you are the expert of your unique story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the challenges of your life. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I commend you for your effort and I am here to support, empower and be a fellow traveler on your journey. "The most powerful thing in the world, is an idea whose time has come"- Victor Hugo

Trauma and PTSD
Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD)
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.

With over 20 years of experience in counseling, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and purpose. My approach is eclectic and personalized, drawing from a variety of evidenced based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma, addiction/substance abuse, family and couples therapy, and motivational interviewing. I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported in a safe space. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life— autism, teens struggling with anxiety or identity, adults facing life transitions and challenges, and couples and families seeking connection and understanding. Whether someone is managing depression, struggling with addiction, recovering from trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I tailor each session to their unique goals and strengths. My clients often say they feel more empowered, grounded, and hopeful after our work together. I help them uncover patterns that no longer serve them, gain practical tools for change, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. Online counseling offers the flexibility and privacy many people need to take that first step toward healing.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker specializing in supporting trauma survivors — especially adults who experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse during childhood. If this describes you or someone you care about, I encourage you to reach out and begin the healing process. In our work together, you will feel safe and secure as we move slowly and gently through the concerns that brought you in. It's remarkable how much profound healing can occur within the simplicity of a therapy relationship. Often you won't even need to talk about the trauma in detail — instead, you can allow yourself the gift of identifying and expressing your feelings about your experiences. It's a gift you deserve — one we all deserve. The pathway to healing is open to you, and I will do my best to help you get there.

Hi, I'm Nick. Clients who end up finding me are often capable and self-aware, but still find themselves overthinking, shutting down, becoming defensive, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions. They often grew up being treated as “the problem” in their family of origin, and have learned to mask important parts of themselves, or were told their needs and reactions were too much. I work with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals who want to understand why certain patterns keep returning, and actually change them in a deeper way beyond just self-awareness and insight. I view symptoms as having developed for understandable reasons and still feel necessary in situations that trigger implicit learnings from the past. Together, we’ll become curious about what a very specific pattern might be protecting and develop new ways to respond. The aim here is to create greater self-trust to allow for actual meaningful change.

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.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” — Carl Rogers I believe so many of us already have the capacity to become our best selves, but something gets in the way. Past experiences, anxiety, patterns we’ve learned, or ways we’ve had to cope that no longer serve us. I work with children, teens, adults, and parents who feel stuck or held back in some way, and are ready to start understanding why. Together, we look at what’s underneath those patterns and begin to gently remove the things that are no longer helping you grow. My approach is warm, supportive, and real. I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, while also helping you move forward in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone completely different. It’s about coming back to yourself, with more clarity, confidence, and the ability to move through life in a way that feels better. If you’re ready to step into that version of yourself, I’d love to connect.

Sometimes you just can't. You have been trying so hard for so long but you feel like a failure. You just don't adult like other people. This can show up looking like Anxiety, Depression or even stuff like OCD or Social Anxiety symptoms. Often this pain relates to trauma.

As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for over 25 years, mindfulness is a natural part of my work and informs how I understand and approach the mind body connection. I integrate mindfulness based stress reduction, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy into sessions in a way that supports awareness and emotional regulation. My training as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, Florida, South Carolina and Delaware allows me to bring these approaches together in a way that is both clinically grounded and also responsive to your experience.

Hi! I'm Erin. So many of us deal with anxiety and unresolved trauma on top of the stressors of everyday life. I believe that no matter your reason for seeking therapy, you deserve an individualized approach that accounts for your lifestyle, environment, and changing capacities. We will work together to explore past and current experiences that influence the way you feel about yourself, and how these feelings and beliefs influence your interactions with the world around you. I'm here to help you process a range of emotions, experiences, and challenges, while also supporting the development of practical skills that you can use to navigate day-to-day transitions and barriers. I provide therapy through a person-centered and trauma-informed lens, and account for your life's unique structure. My approach is casual and centered around creating an environment where you feel supported and heard. I am authentic and approachable, and operate from the belief that there is a place for humor in therapy.

Hello! My name is Max Croteau and I have had the pleasure of being a licensed professional counselor for almost 10 years now. In this time, I have been able to mold my style of understanding, accepting while also challenging and motivational into a successful model of growth and change for those who choose to work with me. I truly am a believer that therapy can sometimes be a side-by-side process, or it can be a process where one guides and the other follows, but ultimately the choice is up to you. I don’t want you to live a life that I tell you to live. I want to help you find a life that is truly a genuine fit for yourself and one that you can see yourself living without even having to think about it. I’ve specialized in addiction, OCD, trauma therapy, family and couples counseling and various other topics in the world of mental health. One important factor that I have found is that each person has their own individual story and their journey will be just as individualized. No matter how similar, we are all different. A cookie cutter approach to the rest of your life is not something that you will get from me. I will truly meet you where you are and work with you every step of the way to achieve the success that you are looking for. I always guarantee every person I work with that therapy may not be easy, but in the end, it will be incredibly worthwhile. I’d love to start and/or continue that journey. Growth has no final destination, just the journey. It’s up to you what path you’d like to take.

Welcome to our space! In our time together we will address your concerns, as well as explore and highlight your personal strengths and attributes. I am licensed in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Vermont. My style as a therapist is eclectic and energetic. Therapy can be a potent experience, but I am here to help accommodate the tears, toil, frustration, humor and other emotions that you cannot or may not wish to share with others. The world, our jobs, finances, and other obstacles are some of the many things that can zap our valuable mental and physical energy in a day. Burnout is more real now than ever before. Coming here is a way to recharge yourself so that you can be more present in the most important areas of your life and enjoy it in the process. We work together to develop skills and outlets in which to manage these stressors. You can become the most positive, healthy version of yourself. I welcome the pleasure of working with people from many different cultures and backgrounds, and I am an avid supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been working 100 percent virtually. This direction in therapy has allowed me to interact with more people that are not within my geographical location. When a person is in an environment where they feel most comfortable, they are better able to express themselves. My source of empowerment comes from my husband and our enjoyment in caring for our animals. We have a good start on a boring zoo.. (dogs, cats, chickens, fish). They are my reason for working from home. For me, being outdoors and caring for animals is very therapeutic as well as rewarding.

Clients often tell me they’ve never had a therapist quite like me. Many of my clients have tried therapy before but felt it was mainly surface-level venting. Sessions with me are far more than that. My style is active, collaborative, and grounded in honest conversation. I won’t simply nod along or repeat what you’ve already told me. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, challenge what isn’t working, and help you make sense of your experiences in a way that leads to meaningful change. I include humor in our sessions when it feels right. Therapy can be meaningful without being stiff or overly clinical. Some conversations will be deep and challenging, while others might include humor or a different perspective. You don’t have to hold back here. You can be blunt, emotional, messy, or even make a sarcastic joke during tough discussions. I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for honesty and a willingness to move forward. Understanding your diagnosis or past experiences is part of therapy, but it’s not everything. Some struggles come from trauma, mental health, or life experiences, while others are simply part of being human. We all face relationships, stress, loss, uncertainty, and change. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or label, we’ll look at the full picture of your life and find meaningful ways to move forward. This work is a good fit if you are open to new ideas, willing to be challenged, and ready to apply what we discuss between sessions. I’ll provide practical tools, but therapy isn’t about quick fixes. Gaining insight is valuable, but insight alone doesn’t create change. Sometimes the work is learning to manage discomfort rather than eliminate it. Together, we’ll understand what keeps you stuck and learn to respond differently over time.

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. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Pennsylvania that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.

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.
