Hi, I’m Jennifer Brown, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for teens and adults, helping clients manage anxiety, depression, and life stressors.
Hello and welcome! I specialize in serving individuals and couples over the age of 18 both working toward and living in recovery from a variety of life events, which may include addiction for the individual/partner/or client's child, socioemotional intelligence as an only child, grief/loss, justice-involved and/or incarceration, changes in confidence or creativity, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), relationship phases and shifts, or workplace stressors.
I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.
While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.
One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.
Hello and welcome! My name is Carlos, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adolescents, young adults, adults and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and open mindedness.
As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and value creating an inclusive environment that respects each person's unique experiences, culture, and identity. Whether you are facing a current challenge or looking for personal growth, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Professional Experience
With extensive experience as a psychiatric mental health registered nurse, Deddeh has worked in diverse and challenging environments.

These roles have honed her ability to address complex patient needs, manage crises, and foster recovery in varied clinical contexts.
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.
