Hi! I'm Jen Tucker, a licensed mental health counselor who is passionate about serving others. I'm a military veteran and a military spouse. I'm also a wife, mom, and grandmother. I've been through a lot in my life. Most of you have too. After all, you find yourself here looking for something. It is my firm belief that each and every one of us has tremendous potential. We all have unique talents and skills, honed and sharpened through our life experiences. These experiences, while crucial to shaping us, can also leave us hurt, confused, numb, or insecure. It is paramount that we stop along our journey to take stock, address our needs, heal, and refocus. Sometimes, we realize we may benefit from having extra support or guidance through these moments. That is where therapy can help. Throughout my counseling career, I have had the privilege of being able to walk beside clients as they process the past, learn to be comfortable in the present, and get excited for the future. I am certified in trauma and treat clients with a wide range of concerns. Whether you feel ready to dive into therapy, or you are just contemplating the idea, I'd love to hear from you. I am currently accepting video clients for individual therapy. If you aren't ready to make contact, I have some resources available for self-reflection. Check out my blog at NotWavingButDrowning.org or my TikTok @MHMinute, where you'll find videos on a variety of mental health topics.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and have enjoyed being a practicing clinician for over 20 years. I've worked in both in-patient and out-patients settings. I've worked with persons struggling with chronic recurring symptoms, in need of medication management, as well as those who've found life transitions challenging and are in need of guidance. I've enjoyed working with teens, young adults, families in crisis, couples and individuals.

Hello and welcome to my virtual office. I am eager and excited to meet with you and help to resolve the issues that are creating difficulties in your life. I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with 26 years of experience in diverse aspects of therapy. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication and boundaries with themselves and those around them to improve their quality of life.

Hi, I’m Paula Srock, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and couples, helping them navigate life’s challenges and strengthen their emotional well-being. My clinical approach is grounded in Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Informed Care. These frameworks allow me to explore how the environments we grew up in shape our views of ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I am passionate about supporting my clients on their journey toward healing and peace. My goal is to help individuals accept their past without allowing it to define their future—empowering them to live more fulfilling and authentic lives.

Have you experienced trauma? As a trained Trauma Therapist I will work with you to resolve PTSD symptoms. I have expertise addressing sexual/physical/psychological abuse, trauma from giving birth, childhood trauma, neglect, and other traumas. I will also help you address any anxiety, depression, pregnancy/postpartum issues, infertility issues, relationship/family conflict, or other life stressors. My general approach to therapy is to utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which involves identifying and changing thoughts and feelings, and building coping skills. I am also certified in specific trauma therapy approaches such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to address PTSD symptoms. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor located in Pennsylvania. I grew up immersed in more than one culture. I identify as South Asian American and grew up in the United States. I consider myself to have a strong cross-cultural understanding, and can relate to individuals who come from various cultures and backgrounds, including the LGBTQ community. My approach to counseling is always to get to know the individual first, understand their goals for counseling, and work with them as a team to help them get to where they desire to be in their life. I am always open to feedback and willing to try new methods or approaches that best fit the needs of each individual I work with, as every individual is unique!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience working in the fields of substance use and mental health. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), with extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with substance use disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma, and other mental health challenges. My approach to treatment is grounded in trauma-informed care and a strong belief in the power of self-awareness. I believe meaningful change begins when individuals take the time to understand themselves, their experiences, and how past events have shaped their thoughts, behaviors, and patterns. 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.

In our work together, I provide a grounding, warm, and structured space where you can catch your breath and feel truly heard. My approach combines practical coping tools with holistic, compassionate guidance to help you build clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. We will focus on helping you move through meaningful change with direction and resilience—at a pace that feels completely safe for you. Taking the first step toward support takes courage, and I am honored to help you navigate what comes next. Reach out today to schedule a session, and let's start building a clearer, more grounded path forward together.

Whether it is anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or relationship issues within partners or family members. The focus is always on helping my clients gain coping skills, increase their satisfaction, and enhancing their relationships with others.

I’m a firm believer that we are all carriers of deep, complex life stories. These stories build and shape our inner worlds and can be both elevating and/or burdensome to us. They build our reality and how we place ourselves within it. As a licensed clinical social worker, my work focuses on helping my clients interact with their stories, organize their habits, and shape the mental patterns that they are functioning within. We work together to make certain these stories are in alignment with the life they want to build for themselves. My approach to mental health care focuses on the mind-body connection, and a deep emphasis on both thought and bodily sensation awareness. I hope to partner with my clients as they find more security and self understanding within our work together. I look forward to seeing you all within the space and am excited to begin our work together!

Hi! I'm Emily, founder of Caine Counseling Services and a licensed clinical therapist with over 12 years of experience helping individuals overcome emotional challenges, develop coping skills and a sense of confidence to help take control of their lives and reach a sense of fulfillment. I believe therapy should be supportive of the whole person, honoring both your inner world as well as everyday life. My goal is to make therapy something you can look forward to, even when it's hard- something that feels relatable, empowering and different from outdated approaches. Rather than feeling clinical or one-sided, therapy is a space where you can feel heard, receive meaningful feedback and have a real conversation within a relationship that feels genuine.
