Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Newark, DE

I bring a diverse clinical background that includes work in child welfare, family therapy, trauma-informed care, and supporting survivors of sexual and physical assault. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Widener University and completed 3,200 hours of clinically supervised experience toward earning my LCSW license. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I regularly incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients build practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hey! I am the owner of Iris Counseling, LLC and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience in the field. More specifically in individual, family and group counseling, crisis intervention and suicide prevention, as well as in addiction counseling. While working in this field, I've developed a deep understanding of the complexity of us humans and the vulnerability it takes to ask for help. It's an honor to be in this profession and to be trusted by you as you're in this vulnerable space of personal growth and healing.

My name is Kiera Pritchett and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over nine years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through some of life's most challenging seasons. I earned my degree from Delaware State University and have dedicated my career to providing compassionate, trauma-informed care to those who are ready to begin their healing journey.

My path into this work was not accidental — it was personal. My own experience of overcoming childhood trauma became the foundation of my calling. That journey gave me a deep understanding of what it means to carry pain that others cannot always see, and it is what drives my commitment to meeting every client with empathy, authenticity, and genuine belief in their capacity to heal and grow.

Throughout my career I have developed specialized experience working with adults and adolescents navigating trauma and post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem and identity development, and emotional regulation difficulties. I utilize evidence-based approaches including trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, strengths-based practice, and motivational interviewing — always tailoring my approach to the unique needs, background, and goals of each individual I work with.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and my path into this work comes from a genuine desire to help people feel understood and supported during some of their hardest moments. My experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings has shown me how complex mental health can be, so I approach each client with empathy, patience, and respect for their individual story. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, and mood disorders.

Are you looking for an experienced mental health professional who listens to you carefully and with respect? Are you wanting a therapist who is honest with you, takes your goals seriously and wants to make sure you are receiving the support you want and deserve? If so, I may be a good fit for you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a PhD in Social Work, bringing together doctoral-level research and extensive clinical experience to provide evidence-based therapy for children, adolescents, young adults, and families in Pennsylvania and Delaware. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionism, body image concerns, disordered eating, and eating disorder recovery.

My clinical background includes working closely with children, teens, and families in both mental health and medical settings, which has shaped my understanding of how emotional wellbeing is influenced by stress, family relationships, identity development, and the pressures many young people carry every day. I also understand that struggles with food, body image, anxiety, and self-worth often show up quietly at first—and deserve compassionate, thoughtful support.

I strive to create a therapy space that feels warm, nonjudgmental, and genuinely supportive. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in self-criticism, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help clients feel understood while building the insight, coping skills, and confidence needed to make meaningful change.

I’m also a doctoral candidate in Social Work, which reflects my commitment to providing evidence-informed care that is both thoughtful and deeply personalized. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, body image challenges, relationship stress, life transitions, or simply feeling unlike yourself lately, therapy can be a place to feel grounded, supported, and empowered.
