Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Bala Cynwyd, PA

My background has been shaped by walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult and vulnerable experiences. I began working in hospice care, where I learned the importance of presence, compassion, and creating space for grief and meaning at the end of life. From there, I moved into intensive case management and addiction counseling in a methadone clinic, supporting individuals navigating substance use, trauma, and significant life challenges. Over time, my work has focused more deeply on individuals living with complex trauma, dissociation, personality disorders, severe mental illness, and experiences of domestic violence. These experiences have taught me how important it is to move gently, build trust at a pace that feels safe, and truly meet people where they are. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence into the therapy room, with the understanding that healing often begins in feeling seen, understood, and not alone.

You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you're here, you've already taken an important first step and you don't have to do the rest alone. Since 2011, I've worked with individuals facing mental health challenges as well as drug and alcohol concerns in a variety of settings, including mobile therapy. I understand that every person's story is different, and I believe therapy should reflect your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. Whether you're navigating addiction, recovery, or mental health concerns, you'll find a space where you can be yourself without judgment.

I’m Aiden, a Licensed Clinical Social worker that is specialize in trauma informed care and LGBTQIA affirming therapy. My clients would say that I am a warm and down-to-earth therapist that affirms and gives space for you to be yourself.

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 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 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.

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.

Hi, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, comfortable, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.

As a professional, mom, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become, and I’m passionate about helping people feel more balanced, hopeful, and like themselves again.

I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I am currently completing advanced training to become a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This training expands my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that may complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are integrated thoughtfully and are never intended to replace proven psychiatric care.

I accept every client for who he or she is. I do not pass judgment, and I am very confidential.

I am an LCSW, psychotherapist, with 12+ yrs experience in the Mental Health field. I have worked in many different Mental Health Settings such as: Residential, IBHS, Drug/Alcohol, and Community Based. Specializations include: CCTP, EMDR, and Anxiety, Depression.
