Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Allentown, PA

Hello, I’m Chido and thank you for your commitment in engaging in treatment. I understand that seeking support can be a meaningful and sometimes difficult step, and I approach each client with compassion and genuine care. I have experience in working with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, grief, family and relationship issues.

Finding the right therapist is about finding a balance between someone who truly "gets" it and someone who can help you map out the way forward. I’ve dedicated my career to being both a safe harbor and a catalyst for growth. My approach is rooted in deep empathy, but I am also firmly goal-oriented. Whether we are navigating a specific diagnosis or a difficult life transition, I believe that therapy should provide you with both a sense of peace and a clear sense of direction.

Areas of Expertise & Passion

Children & Adolescents: I spent ten years working with students facing a wide range of challenges, including autism, anxiety, oppositional defiance disorder (ODD), and emotional disturbances. I understand the unique pressures of the school environment and am passionate about helping kids find their footing and flourish.

Young Adults: The transition into adulthood can feel like navigating without a map. I help young adults build the confidence they need to define their own version of success and tackle the "what comes next" with resilience.

Mothers & Postpartum Support: Motherhood is a profound transformation, often accompanied by overwhelming stressors. I provide a supportive space for postpartum moms and those juggling the relentless demands of family life to find balance, reclaim their identity, and prioritize their mental well-being.

My philosophy: I believe every individual deserves a space where they are fully seen and heard. My mission is to provide that safety while empowering you to reach the milestones that matter most to you.If you’re looking for a partner in your journey toward growth—or a steady hand for your child—I’m here to help. Let’s get to work.

I am a licensed therapist whose passion, knowledge, and expertise has been from working with women from many different backgrounds and walks of life. I received my masters in counseling from Pennsylvania Western University and have spent the last two years working with nurses and nursing students. Prior to that, I have spent many years working with youth and young adult women in psychiatric and hospital settings providing specialized care and support with grief/loss, relationship and familial issues, life changes, and general life exploration.

I am warm, welcoming, and a problem solver who is committed to empowering others. I can assist you in processing and gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am a trained listener who will focus on helping you feel comfortable while building a therapeutic rapport.

I graduated from the University of Akron with my masters in Social Work. I am a licensed social worker in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. I have worked in public schools, community agencies, psychiatric hospitals, healthcare, and outpatient therapy.

Welcome? Glad we found each other. A bit about me for you: I received my B.S in Psychology from Penn State University in 1989 and my M.A. in Counseling from Arcadia University in 2001 and my LPC in 2006. Over the course of my professional career, I’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, and IOP settings with adults and adolescents. Currently, I run my private practice while working as a Program Director and faculty for an M.A. in Counseling Psychology program.

Outside of my formal education, I’ve explored – and continue to explore - sexuality, gender, trauma, psychedelic integration, dreamwork, shamanism, spirituality & psycho-spiritual work, meditation, mindfulness, and more recently, ecopsychology and ecotherapy, somatic and polyvagal work. I am also a certified (Holotropic/Transpersonal) Breathworker.

Presently, I work with adult individuals experiencing issues related to trauma, sexuality, depression, anxiety, men’s issues, life transitions, and grief, and who want to thrive instead of just surviving.

I look forward to hearing from you so we can assess our compatibility to work together toward your goals.

Hello, I’m Cathy Laus. I have been a therapist for 32 years and earned my education at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work. My experience includes working at Western Psychiatric Hospital and with Turtle Creek Valley Community Services in a partial hospitalization program. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of diagnoses and concerns.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, I'll meet you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical support. With more than 13 years of experience in mental and behavioral health, I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults across diverse settings, helping people navigate trauma, addiction, life transitions, and a wide range of mental health challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself and supported enough to move forward.

Life can be so hard. It shouldn't be, but it is. Our culture produces symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, etc. We weren't meant to live this way and to confront the constant stream of stressors we face on a daily basis. 40+ hour work weeks, struggling to make ends meet, supporting others while we struggle to support ourselves, unexpected life events, financial instability, always reaching and striving for the next benchmark, promotion, or grade. The list goes on and on and it often feels overwhelming and impossible. I believe that those systems are the problem, not you, and I want to help you navigate it better.

I'm Nakia, a licensed clinical social worker and medical social worker since 2013. After

experiencing loss at a young age, it was a school counselor who helped me finally process that

grief. The way she showed up for me is exactly why I do this work. My calling in life is to show up

for people when they need me most, the way that counselor showed up for me when I needed it

most. I am here to help you navigate through life's happenings, and I would love to be that

person for you.
