I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, always keeping you at the center of the process, and work collaboratively to find what feels most effective and supportive for you. As your therapist, my commitment is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. I have been practicing social work for over 20 years and have 5 years of experience in outpatient mental health treatment, working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I'm passionate about helping my clients recognize their lives have purpose and they are so much more than the challenges they face.

I have provided therapy for the past twenty years with clients who identify as LGBTQAI+. I am a senior therapist with excellent skills and expertise. During these critical times my exclusive focus is treating the LGBTQAI+ community and a special compassion for transgender people. I treat adults within the LGBTQAI+ who suffer from depression and anxiety; PTSD and Complex PTSD and other forms of trauma; co dependency, coming out and transitioning, relationships and family issues. I also specialize in the treatment of Dissociative Disorders. My main modalities are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), trauma-informed therapies, internal systems, and spiritually based methods including mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I attempt to see the world through your lense, bring empathy and compassion to your situation and then work together to find solutions. I find re processing of trauma (EMDR) and internal work (IFS) most effective of therapies. I provide only individual therapy; I do not do couples counseling.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with an endorsement in gambling addiction.

As a therapist grounded in empathy, my dream client embodies a spirit of openness and motivation for change. This individual recognizes the challenges that come with personal growth but approaches therapy with a willingness to explore and confront these difficulties. They appreciate the journey of self-discovery and are eager to gain insights that can lead to meaningful transformation in their life. In our sessions, I envision a collaborative environment where they feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. They understand that progress may not always be linear, yet they remain committed to the process. This client values the therapeutic relationship and seeks guidance to cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and mindfulness in their daily life. What I cherish most about this ideal client is their ability to reflect on their experiences and actively engage in their healing journey. They inspire me with their courage to face discomfort and their desire to learn and grow. Together, we would explore life experiences and therapeutic techniques, fostering a deep connection that empowers them to embrace change with compassion and patience. Ultimately, my dream client is someone who is not only motivated to seek help but also appreciates the support and insight I can offer. In this partnership, we would work hand in hand to navigate the complexities of their experiences, celebrating each step toward a more fulfilled and mindful existence. This collaborative spirit of growth and understanding is what makes the therapeutic journey profoundly rewarding for both of us.

Everyone deserves to feel heard and believed. One of my first goals in working with you will be to discuss how to create a space and relationship where you feel safe and respected while coming up with a plan to meet your unique needs. Therapy with me is not a place where you are given band-aids. While many techniques I employ can help in the immediate, our goal is to find long-lasting change. This may be uncomfortable or difficult at times, but through that discomfort comes deeper understanding and insight, and ultimately a more healed and meaningful existence. Every human being is unique and you deserve to experience therapy that fits your unique needs rather than a one sized fits all approach. I am trained in a variety of evidence based treatment methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma informed modalities and will work with you in our sessions to find what works best for you.

Hi there, I'm Taffie. Thanks so much for checking out my profile! Life can be difficult to navigate and sometimes it's hard to ask for help. The decision to identify a therapist is a great start. Therapy may seem scary. However, it need not frighten you. Think of it as a conversation that opens up new thoughts and emotions. Most people find that this type of sharing is best done in partnership with someone who provides unconditional acceptance in an environment that’s calm and comforting. Are you looking for a safe welcoming place where you can just be? Be heard . . . be valued . . . be accepted exactly where you are? I can provide that. I will listen as you express how you feel and what you’re dealing with and ask questions and make observations to help both of us understand you and your needs. We will walk through challenges and fear together to help you create a fulfilling life. I invite you into my space to start this journey. The time we spend together will be all about you.

My aim is to walk alongside you, working together to explore your challenges, old hurts, dreams, and needs. These parts of you all have a context. Together we can explore the impact your identity, history, and place in the world play in your life. I will provide a non-judgmental space that welcomes all thoughts and feelings. You are the expert on you, even if that doesn’t feel true today. I’d love to support you in embracing your authentic self and achieving your goals. I am rooted in harm reduction using a person-centered, mindfulness-based, and existential framework. I have training in mindfulness, grief counseling, CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing.

I am a trauma-informed helper, with a specialization in relationship dynamics, specifically, the perpetration and victimization of Intimate Partner Violence and Domestic Abuse. It is my goal to provide people with the lasting tools to navigate the relationships we need to be successful in our own lives.

These methods include self-awareness and evaluation, mindfulness, perception reframing, and planning for and executing new helping behaviors. My clients are given the unique opportunity to become an active participant in their personal growth and well-being. I believe that when people began to take their power back through personal accountability, responsibility, and empowerment; healing and transformation will soon follow. I look forward to growing with you.

My name is Amber Phillips. I am a dedicated therapist with a strong belief in the importance of empowering my clients to make autonomous decisions. I view my role as that of a guide, helping my clients to bridge the gap between their every day thoughts and actions. Ultimately, leading you to healthier, more effective behavior and overall communication with others. With a reserved, curious, and passive demeanor, I do my best to create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore your thoughts and emotions. I firmly believe in the power of leading clients to your own answers, rather than providing solutions for you. You know your life better than anyone else! I am committed to fostering an environment where you feel empowered to take control of your own life, and make decisions that are best for your overall well-being.

I specialize in treating adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety; depression; trauma; PTSD; grief/loss; relationship problems; transition difficulties; substance abuse; or if you just feel stuck.

Hi! I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania, and I've been practicing since 2020, specializing in OCD and anxiety-reated disorders. I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and empowerment. Through proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual. My treatment approach typically involves three phases: building insight and awareness around delineating between OCD-related intrusive thoughts and your own logical thought processes; developing skills to appropriately manage and dismiss intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges; and ultimately structuring effective, yet manageable, exposures to incrementally build distress tolerance and systematically desensitize to triggering experiences. While our work together will focus on addressing OCD and anxiety-related issues, I intend to utilize a holistic approach necessary in treating the whole person, which may include family work as well. My primary goal is to help clients realize happy, healthy, fulfilling lives by taking their freedom back from the binds of OCD and anxiety. I aim to work in a creative, collaborative environment while cultivating meaningful relationships with my clients. I find it extremely rewarding to help people who are struggling with OCD and anxiety, as progress is often consistent and evident. As they say – if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life!

I offer a wide range of therapy modalities, coping skills and techniques to help process through history of events and ongoing stress that may continue to impact us daily.

Hello there! Thank you for stopping by, and congratulations on taking the first step towards a more self-improved you. I have been in the mental health field for almost 15 years, practicing as an LPC for almost 3 years. Counseling can be scary, but being open to change and vulnerability shows great courage. I have always been passionate about people, and helping others, showing compassionate and empathy. As a valued listener, people often seek me out when they have experienced personal issues, trauma and stressors. Through your journey, I will provide a safe atmosphere in order to begin to face the complexities you are facing, help change your narrative to a more helpful narrative, and we will work together, to achieve your identified goal and success. In therapy, we work to understand yourself in new ways that feel more accepting, empowering, and extensive.
