Hi! My name is Nicole Vanderwerff. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a focus in trauma-informed care. I received my Bachelor of Social Work from East Carolina and my Master of Social Work from the University of Louisville. I have experience working with clients of all ages.
I have been a Social Worker for over 20 years and am passionate and committed to helping client's live the best life they can.
I am a therapist who genuinely loves this work and the people I get to do it with. I work with adults who are navigating big life changes, relationship shifts, and the kind of moments that make you stop and ask "who am I now?" My approach is flexible and collaborative, so we figure out together what you need and how to get there. I work fully virtually, so you can show up to sessions from wherever feels most comfortable for you.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in ADHD, mood disorders, and complex or unclear diagnoses. My approach is collaborative but direct - I focus on getting the diagnosis right and creating a treatment plan that truly fits your life.
I have experience across outpatient and residential settings, and I often work with patients who are looking for more clarity or haven’t found answers elsewhere.
My goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, feel more in control, and move forward with confidence.
As a bilingual and bicultural therapist providing services in both English and Spanish, I offer a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive space where adults can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, and major life transitions.
I believe that healing begins within a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will explore how past experiences may be impacting your current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self while building practical tools to help you move forward.
Welcome! My name is Tara and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned a Masters from The University of Pittsburgh in Clinical Mental Health & Rehabilitation Counseling. I have extensive experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, family & relationship issues, life transitions, and much more.
I enjoy working with patients who are struggling with perinatal issues (fertility issues, loss, pregnancy challenges), anxiety, and those who are coping with illnesses or life transitions. I hope to support you with empathy through life’s challenging seasons. We'll work collaboratively toward building a space conducive for self-awareness, navigating life’s challenges, and connecting to values to move towards a more fulfilling life.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with grief and loss, the impact of a medical diagnosis and parenting issues. I have worked with children and families in a medical setting for over 20 years. I have also worked closely with individuals and families who have been touched by cancer. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and respect. I believe you are the expert of your life. We are all unique and have our own strengths.
Life doesn't always fall apart all at once. Sometimes it shifts — slowly or suddenly — and you find yourself standing in the middle of something you didn't plan for, not quite sure how to find your footing again.
I work with adults — particularly women — who are navigating major life transitions: divorce, career change, grief and loss, identity shifts, postpartum challenges, relationship changes, and the complex process of figuring out who you are when everything around you has changed.
My name is Nadine Cramer, and I've been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for over 22 years. I'm licensed in both Ohio and Pennsylvania and see clients throughout both states via telehealth. Over the course of my career I've worked in inpatient psychiatric settings, outpatient community mental health, and private practice. I've facilitated groups for postpartum depression, anger management, alcohol and substance use recovery, and cognitive restructuring — and I've brought everything I've learned in those settings into my private practice work.
Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.
I am a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist with 23 years of counseling experience with adults of all ages, from late-adolescence and across the lifespan.
My practice focuses on helping individuals develop personally meaningful ways of navigating anxiety and depression, grief and loss, trauma and PTSD, time-of-life transitions, and identity development. These therapeutic partnerships often involve identity-affirming explorations of racial, ethnic, LGBTQIA, and neuro-diversity matters within clients’ lives.
Helping clients feels safe, regarded, and at ease... I work hard to understand what each individual needs from me to feel these things at the forefront of our relationship.
I feel really confident in my empathic attunement toward clients as I authentically connect with each individual. I prioritize creating a shared space of sincerity as clients begin telling me their stories.
And what an honor it is, helping clients share their narratives in a manner that highlights their courage and resilience, as well as their yearning and needs.
As we begin to explore and understand all of these things, we hone in on each client’s inner resources and external supports — identifying these things and figuring out how each individual client can feel most empowered in themselves.
