I have been practicing therapy for several years (licensed for almost 2) and the more I do it the more I enjoy it. I enjoy hearing people's stories and watching them change and progress in many different ways. I like to ask questions, but am not afraid to challenge something or make a joke at times. I have worked in the drug and alcohol field for several years and in that field I encountered many different mental health conditions.

I received my BSW and MSW from Temple University and have been practicing as a licensed clinical social worker since 2013.

With a background in mental health, education, and behavioral support, I take an individualized and strengths-based approach to therapy, recognizing that every client’s experiences and needs are unique.

As a 2nd generation child of immigrants/refugees, I understand the complexities of exploring one’s own identity as life is still in motion.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Rutgers University.

Hi, I’m Phiona Tran, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving adults in Pennsylvania. I support clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions like marriage, divorce, career changes, and the prenatal or postpartum period.

I am a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across all stages of life. My work is rooted in a genuine belief that mental health care should feel human, not clinical or distant. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and never judged. I see myself not only as a provider, but as someone in your corner who is committed to helping you feel better, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.

I seek to provide a warm, open environment where all parts of you are welcome. I believe your emotional and psychological safety is my top priority. I seek to make your empowerment my focus and often work from a root-causing healing approach and focus on your innate resilience and build practical coping/calm tools on your journey to healing. We will work as a team to define what healing looks like for you. My mind/body connection approach and evidence based approaches provide you tools to use outside of our sessions.

Hi, I'm Caterina — an LCSW based in the Philadelphia area offering telehealth sessions to adults across Pennsylvania. My path to this work isn't typical: I spent years on the front lines of the opioid epidemic, supporting people through acute mental health crises and some of the most difficult chapters a person can face. That experience shaped me into a clinician who knows how to stay calm, stay present, and stay with you — even when things get hard.

I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, substance use and recovery, life transitions, health conditions, trauma, women's issues, and the kind of chronic stress that makes it hard to recognize yourself anymore. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't hand you a worksheet and call it therapy. I bring my full attention to every session — and I meet you exactly where you are, not where I think you should be.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) with extensive experience in addiction recovery and mental health counseling. I combine evidence-based practices with a compassionate approach to help clients achieve lasting personal growth.

I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.

I'm Jennifer, and I know that deciding to reach out takes real courage. I've spent 23 years working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, autism spectrum concerns, tic disorders, and OCD. My BTTI certification in Tourette's and OCD treatment means you can bring even the most complex or misunderstood challenges here. My approach is practical, compassionate, and built around what you specifically need. I'd love to be part of your story.

You bring your goals and strengths and I’ll bring a fresh perspective and tools that empower. Integrating mindfulness, creative arts, or your spiritual practices enhances my pragmatic, behavioral approach. Bonus: Free weekly women’s virtual group forming.

I am a compassionate, approachable, and nonjudgmental therapist who strives to create a safe and supportive environment for every client. During our first session, I make it a priority to emphasize that therapy is a space free from judgment and blame. As human beings, we all experience challenges, setbacks, and mistakes throughout our lives, and I believe these experiences are a natural part of personal growth.

While I serve in the role of therapist, I do not view myself as superior to those I work with. Instead, I value collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. I believe that meaningful progress occurs when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment.

Honesty and transparency are central to my practice. Together, we will develop individualized goals that reflect your unique needs, values, and aspirations rather than pursuing a predetermined or "easy" path. I recognize that no one has all the answers, and I am committed to being honest when I do not know something. In those instances, I will make every effort to seek out accurate information and resources to best support your growth and well-being.

My goal is to work alongside you as a partner in your journey, helping you build the skills, insight, and confidence needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
